The CZ Shadow 2 Black & Blue was developed in direct response to the popularity of the SP-01 Shadow on the competition circuit. CZ engineers went back to the drawing board to start from scratch taking the best features of the original Shadow improving on them. After more than 2 years the fruits of that labor have bore some amazing results. With a higher beavertail and an undercut trigger guard your hand will be able to sit as close to the bore axis as possible. The steel frame and slide feature a hardy nitride finish making it almost impervious to corrosion. Mfg: Cz Usa
