The CZ Shadow 2 is one of the most sought-after sport pistols worldwide. Its all-metal construction delivers durability and a modern feel with a long service life under hard use. Thanks to its weight and size, it’s better for open carry on the range than for concealed carry or self-defense.
Building on the CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow, it improves ergonomics, accuracy, and speed. You’ll find a wide range of upgrades such as sights, base pads, and magwells.
Long vs. short grips
This category lists long grips for CZ Shadow 2. If you install a magwell, you’ll need short grips because the magwell reduces grip length clearance.
What does a magwell add?
- Increases overall weight and widens the magazine mouth
As a result, it:
- Improves balance and stability for more controlled shooting
- Speeds up reloads, even under stress
If you use the Shadow 2 mainly for recreation and not competition, a magwell is mostly an aesthetic upgrade with limited functional benefit.
