CZ Shadow 2 magwells add a flared funnel that speeds up indexing, improves closed-slide seating, and can shift balance for flatter tracking—an easy performance lift for the Shadow 2.
What changes with a magwell?
-
Speed & consistency: the funnel guides the magazine for quicker, cleaner reloads.
-
Positive seating: easier to drive the mag home on a closed slide under match pressure.
-
Balance: added weight at the grip can calm muzzle movement between shots.

Materials
-
Aluminum: light, rigid, many finishes—balanced for carry and competition.

Brass: heaviest; maximizes rearward weight for flat, repeatable tracking.
Install & legality
Magwells typically bolt to the Shadow 2 frame; fit the short grips and verify reloads and lock-back. If you compete, confirm division rules (box/weight/mag length) before match use.
