CZ Shadow 2 accessories

If you bought a CZ Shadow 2, or any CZ Shadow 2 version (Shadow 2 OR, Shadow 2 Orange), you have a very wide range of available accessories, that will allow you to move your gun to much higher level. Lets look into the options.

And what types of CZ Shadow 2 accessories people buy the most?

Aiming upgrades: sights, optic plates and red dot mounts

First and foremost, people go for optics.

In case you have optics ready version of CZ Shadow 2 (you will see by the fact that there is a cut in your slide), you have to be looking for CZ Shadow 2 OR plates. Those function as a replacement of the slide cut cover and to install it, you just have to remove the slide cut cover and put the plate into its position.

If you bought a classic CZ Shadow 2 instead, you still have the option to install optics to your gun. However not through a plate, but through a CZ Shadow 2 red dot mount. These on the other hand function as a replacement of rear sight in the dovetail cut. You install them by removing the rear sight and putting the mount into its position.

And whether you have optics ready model or classic one, you will be most probably interested also in the professional CZ Shadow 2 sights, which are a must for any shooting professional.

Thumb rests

One way to achieve better handling of handgun is to have more leverage over the gun. With your thumb pushing the gun low it gets much better.

For that reason there are few types of thumb rests: one that comes together with slide release for your thumb on right hand. Its very easy and simple for installation, and very practical.

And then there is another type of thumb rest that can only be installed to the frame mount, and that one is designed to work for your thumb on left hand. This thumb rest is positioned in the front of the handgun, and thus your leverage over the gun behaviour is much better.

Enhanced grips for better control

Another great enhancement is grips. If your hand is not the standard size, whether its larger or smaller, you will be doing better if you buy aftermarket grips that are either smaller or larger - to make your hand grip it just fine.

Proper grip of a handgun is one of the most basic things that have to be done right. If you do not feel the gun fitting you like a glove, you may consider changing the grips.

Just be careful to choose the right ones: there are CZ Shadow 2 long grips (these are the same length as the ones that are on your gun since it came from production).

And then there are CZ Shadow 2 short grips that are cut shorter in order to work together with magwell. You will only need the short grips if you have a magwell installed to your gun.

Holsters

And even though we mention it lastly, its one of the first accessory parts that you have to get for your CZ Shadow 2 holster.

There are more types to consider: leather holsters or kydex holsters. Both of these are already made from production to be red dot friendly, so that nothing is interfering with the red dot on the holster.
