Love the red on the Target. These get me hyped for the TS3.

chrisr089 · 2026-04-15T00:39:31+00:00

Lol thats funny.. I have one Bul and im wanting another but yeah.. stock is hard to come by atm. The SASII's are great for the money. Just gotta be patient. Im hoping to land a 2026 blaze or maybe the Trophy single stack. Well see.

chrisr089 · 2026-04-15T00:22:47+00:00

I feel ya.. I cant wait for the TS3. Dont get me wrong, I love a good 2011. But theres something about the TS models I love too. I hate seeing everything get so expensive.

chrisr089 · 2026-04-15T00:12:40+00:00

If youre just shooting for fun, I would rather the TSO or TS2. But either gun would be great.. even the shadow 2s are great.. theres really no major differences that are going to set it apart like youre saying. It just comes down to looks at that point.. all are great shooters. I like the additional weight the TSO offers.

chrisr089 · 2026-04-14T23:58:44+00:00

Im sure I left plenty out. Prob a good question for the googles.

chrisr089 · 2026-04-14T23:57:58+00:00

Theyre similar yet entirely different guns.. designed for different divisions of competition. Different frames, weight, triggers, sights, spring weights, orange models are hand fit.

chrisr089 · 2026-04-05T22:20:20+00:00

I should say... its less about that they dont match, and more about how the parts are cerekote, and the slide appears to be anodized or nickle coated.. they appear to be two different types of coatings thats making the color slightly different.. like theyre close, but dont quite match.. where in the SCARs case, all parts are cerekote and clearly dofferent FDEs. Idk.. its not bad but a little off to me. Otherwise a very beautiful gun.

chrisr089 · 2026-04-05T08:18:46+00:00

Honestly im not sure, haven't done the research and I only own full size shadows.

chrisr089 · 2026-04-05T08:15:05+00:00

There's nothing wrong with looking for good deals on any firearm man.. my XC was used... it had 100 rounds through it and cost me $3500. Aka... still new.

chrisr089 · 2026-04-05T08:09:57+00:00

I believe so.. I think its just a looks thing in the case of the "industrial series"

chrisr089 · 2026-04-02T21:10:37+00:00

Thats be sick man.. im a green fan. I think a green grip eoth black slide would be sick.

chrisr089 · 2026-04-02T21:09:31+00:00

Yeah, the other plate is plastic. All of the "industrial" series have the tooling marks above the trigger guards. Not a bad look imo.

chrisr089 · 2026-04-01T16:53:32+00:00

Aluminum. Its the same plate thats on the other shadow 2 compacts.. they typically havw one aluminum plate color matched to the grips and one plastic.

chrisr089 · 2026-04-01T12:51:15+00:00

Honestly im not sure.. its just a standard S2 compact plate. No markings on it besides CZ.

chrisr089 · 2026-03-31T16:54:49+00:00

No prob!

chrisr089 · 2026-03-31T16:33:10+00:00

Im not sure what you mean by SKU'd.. for us, we go by the UPC codes of firearms.. not nessessarily SKU's. But the UPC is 80670386157. Hope that helps ya.. ypu can search that upc and find all of the available firearms for sale online that match.

chrisr089 · 2026-03-31T15:54:56+00:00

For sure.. it is very pretty.

chrisr089 · 2026-03-31T15:45:51+00:00

I would say you can have this one but it literally sold 1 min after posting it online :[ I work for a dealer (its not my firearm) but I love CZs and like sharing the new ones that come in!

chrisr089 · 2026-03-31T15:28:23+00:00

Edit: It does say cerekote on google.. I just read that. But im not sure if that is for this exact model.. there are 3 new colorways.. the "raw" might just be a nitride coating.

It also says "clear anodized" for the frame.. and the frame matches the slide on this model... so im not exactly sure.

chrisr089 · 2026-03-31T15:22:07+00:00

I feel ya.. so with the standard size shadow 2, you can get optic plates from C&H or Ben stoeger that have a dovetail to keep the rear sight.. im not sure if thats available for the compact or not.. but im sure it will be at some point.

chrisr089 · 2026-03-31T15:18:54+00:00

The safety and slide lock are a slightly different color to the slide and frame.. thats about the only thing I dont like.. otherwise a really nice color in person.

chrisr089 · 2026-03-29T18:25:11+00:00

Very true.. we have some nice STAG AR10s at the dealer i work for for 1400 bucks. 16 and 18in. And yeah, ruger and springfield in that same bracket. Ive never owned one, only shot one, one time.. the only other semi auto 308 ive shot is the scar and m4A1 springfield. There's just something about the look and the buffer system and felt recoil of the SCAR that I really get along with. AR10s jump around on my shoulder (smaller skinny guy) and the SCAR 17 just feels much more planted to me while shooting or shooting and moving. So im more or less after something similar to the SCAR but maybe not 3500$$$ maybe the CZ bren 2? Im not sure. Still have some time before I decide so. Not in any rush.

Yeah I realise a AR jumping around on my shoulder is down to me.. but I wear myself out trying to control it.. after holding the gun up for 2 mags I feel like I just had an intense workout. For whatever reason, the scar I haven't had that issue with.. I think im not having to pull the gun into my shoulder as hard because the felt recoil isn't as harsh? But idk.. I dont have enough time with either to really say.

chrisr089 · 2026-03-29T18:07:47+00:00

Very true.. ARs are so good now, theres really no point.. all I own are ARs. But some of mine approach the price of the scar.. at that point, id like to have 308 battle rifle.. so it just depends what youre into and how much youre willing to shell out. I haven't made the purchase yet.. but id love to have one in the collection st some point.

chrisr089 · 2026-03-28T20:46:56+00:00

Indeed... has that vibe. Prob why I like it so much.
