CZ Shadow 2 short grips [with magwell]

The CZ Shadow 2 is one of the most sought-after sport pistols worldwide. Its all-metal construction delivers long service life under hard use. Owing to its size and weight, it’s better suited to range use than 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.

When to choose a short grip

This category lists short grips for CZ Shadow 2 used with a magwell. If you don’t run a magwell, see Long Grips for CZ Shadow 2.

Why not use a long grip with a magwell?

A magwell shortens the available grip length, so only short grips will fit.

What does a magwell add?

• Increases weight and widens the magazine well

As a result, it:

• Improves balance and stability for more controlled shooting
• Speeds up reloads, even under pressure

If you use the Shadow 2 mainly for recreation and not competition, a magwell is largely an aesthetic upgrade.

Aluminum

By size

The standard grip fits most hands. If it doesn’t feel right, choose wider or slimmer versions to tune overall thickness and comfort.

Wider (3D) profile

• Great for larger hands
• Improves hand-to-frame contact for better recoil control
• Reduces fatigue during long sessions

Popular with competitors—see this Toni System 3D grip.

Slimmer profile

Best for smaller hands or if the pistol feels too bulky or the trigger is hard to reach. (Shadow 2 is generally not ideal for concealed carry.)

Some makers offer multiple thicknesses. For example, Armanov grips come in thin/standard/thick to dial in ergonomics.
