Consider me wayyy late to the CZ party, this Shadow 2 makes me as happy with a new gun purchase as I’ve been in a very long time! The only problem I can see is I’ve gone through 2/3 a case of S&B ammo in a couple of weeks!
This purchase came out of nowhere, a HK USP Expert 9mm was definitely on my “to purchase next” list, and I’ll eventually buy one but I’m enjoying this Shadow 2 too much at the moment!
Both targets were at 10 yards, the second target with the rounds to the left were from the range officer, he really wanted to shoot my Shadow, he commented the windage was slightly off to the left. He handed the pistol back and while he was standing there I put 10 rounds through the center, he smiled and went back to work!

Last one is actually my 4.5" PDP full size in od/fde but I don't have a picture of it yet. However, I got my Prodigy, and both Tisas doublestacks right before so it. counts!

What are your thoughts on the Platypus? I know it runs on glock mags but that's about it. Haven't done much research.

It's amazing. Zero failures of any kind, with oem glock or magpul mags. Smooth action, pretty tightly fit as well. It was well worth the cost. I had problems with the stock 2 piece guide rod, and stealth arms had a 2nd gen in the works and sent me one free. Still had issues with it loosening, and it decided to seize on me (used too much loctite, my fault!) so I went to a one piece egw rod. No issues since! I will never give this pistol up.
I do sometimes wish I had chose a different color for the slide but I'm still happy with it! Might get another one day, especially now they have some new options. I love it though.
On a side note on the guide rod...i don't understand 2 piece rods. One piece is where it's at. I even swapped the tisas to one piece rods from GI setups. Funny though, I swapped the Prodigy to a 10-8 GI setup from a 2 piece... Lol

Re: The Last Gun You Bought
That's a nice platypus. I'm on the fence between that or just biting the bullet on a staccato... I spent a day with a Staccato XC and I've never been right since and my ZEV Gucci glocks just sit now.
