Two years after my 2023 take on the CZ Czechmate, this 500-round update revisits the affordable Open division contender. Upgraded with brass grips & mag well from LokGrips, plus MBX mags, this quirky, high-performing icon still shines.
After a year-long hiatus, the cajunized CZ Shadow 2 is back in action. It’s also just passed the 5K round milestone which means it’s time for an update post.
How anyone can get genuinely upset when learning somebody isn’t on the same pistol cartridge team is beyond me. Until another ballistically viable cartridge that is more cost effective and recoils less than 9mm hits the market, there should be…
After 2000 rounds, the Staccato C2 is solid with zero issues. Considering swapping optics and grip, but it’s still a great EDC choice for serious users.

Introduced in late 2023, the CZ Shadow 2 Compact made a huge splash. Does it really have the shooting comfort and accuracy of a Shadow 2? If so, is it truly a good choice for concealed carry? Let’s find out.
