CZ Shadow 2 Optics Ready plates

CZ Shadow 2 Optics Ready (OR) plates adapt your factory OR slide to a specific red-dot footprint and set the optic at the right height for durability and zero retention.

What does an OR plate do?

• Matches footprints: pairs your Shadow 2 OR cut with popular patterns (Trijicon RMR footprint, Shield RMSc footprint, Holosun K-series footprint, Leupold DPP & C-More RTS footprint, Vortex Venom footprint, Aimpoint ACRO footprint).
• Adds rigidity: quality plates use tight tolerances, recoil lugs/pins, and correct screw geometry to resist shift.
• Simplifies swaps: change optics without milling the slide.

How to choose the right plate

1) Start with your model

This page is for the CZ Shadow 2 Optics Ready. Confirm your slide is the OR variant and select a plate made specifically for it.

2) Select the optic footprint

Pick the plate that matches your red dot: Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Holosun K-series, Leupold DPP & C-More RTS, Vortex Venom, or Aimpoint ACRO.

3) Get threadlocker

Recoil will loosen untreated screws. Threadlock with Loctite to keep zero and hardware secure.

Installation basics

• Degrease plate/slide/optic interfaces and screws; apply threadlocker.
• Torque to manufacturer specs for plate-to-slide and optic-to-plate.
• Verify screw thread pitch and length (no striker/extractor interference). Witness-mark and recheck after the first range session.

What if your CZ isn’t “Optics Ready”?

You can still mount a red dot without milling by using a red dot dovetail mount that replaces the rear sight.
