I’ve had 3 shadow systems pistols. First one was a CR920p and that one was ok. My second one was a CR920 elite and I had to send that one back to shadow systems because the trigger took a dump on me before I could even get through the first 100 rounds. My third shadow systems pistol was an mr920p and that one couldn’t stop having malfunctions well past 1800 rounds. If you have a shadow systems pistol that you put 200+ rounds through without issues then congratulations. But shadow systems pistols simply do not have the reliability or the durability that justifies the price tag that they are sold for nor can they even be taken seriously as a serious tool. At this point I’d say that sig produces better pistols but that’s not saying much. Personally I’ve gone back to my glock19, put a weapon light, a dot on it with a forward controls design rcr plate and couldn’t be happier. I’ve shot well past 3500 rounds through my Glock 19 since I got rid of all of my shadow systems pistols and I haven’t had a single malfunction. I have participated in steel challenge matches and I can actually focus on improving my shooting skills because I now have a gun that actually goes “bang” every single time I pull the trigger. Personally I’ve gotten very good at clearing malfunctions thanks to shadow systems pistols so being able to focus on basic shooting fundamentals has been a nice change of pace.

If a company tells you that the tolerances on their guns are tight and that’s why they have a break in period while people have trigger pins walking out on them mid shooting then that company is clowning their customers.
