CZ Shadow 2

IMPORTANT SOURCING NOTE: use czfirearms.com, NOT cz-usa.com. cz-usa.com now redirects to czfirearms.com and answers every path with the same Next.js shell — homepage, series page, product page, robots.txt and sitemap.xml all returned identical bytes — so it reads as a manufacturer that publishes nothing. czfirearms.com serves real per-page content with a Strapi payload embedded, declares a working sitemap in robots.txt, and returns real 404s. THE PAGE CARRIES TEN OTHER PRODUCTS AND MIXING THEM FABRICATES A GUN: alongside this record's single variant it embeds the Shadow 2 Target 5" (SKU 91246) and 6" (91247), Orange OR and Carry — each a separate model with its own product page — plus the CZ 75 BD, 75 Compact, 75 D PCR Compact, SP-01 and SP-01 Tactical, every one of them in the same attribute shape. A flat parse of the payload reported SKU 91248 with a 900 g weight, rubber grips and a decocker as this pistol's specifications; those belong to a CZ 75. The extractor therefore anchors on the single primary product object and lists the rest separately. All of them are separate listings under the base-model rule, as are the Shadow 2 OR, SA and Compact. Every figure here was confirmed by two independent parses of the payload agreeing value for value. CZ is the richest structured source in the directory: every measurement carries both a metric and an imperial value with its unit, so NOTHING on this record is converted, and it publishes separate single-action and double-action trigger pulls — this is the first record to use a DA/SA trigger-pull pair, and the first outside Glock to use weightWithEmptyMagazine, which CZ names itself so the value needs no basis note. Overall height does carry one, because CZ does not say whether it includes a magazine. TWO PUBLISHED FIGURES THAT DO NOT RECONCILE, BOTH RECORDED AS PUBLISHED: 1330 g is 46.9 oz, not the 46.5 oz CZ prints beside it (46.5 oz is 1318 g). Neither is flagged converted, because neither was converted by this directory — the ~12 g gap is CZ's own, and flagging one would misrepresent whose arithmetic it is. A MANUFACTURER-VS-MANUFACTURER CONFLICT ON BARREL LENGTH, DISCLOSED RATHER THAN RESOLVED: the retired cz-usa.com listing (SKUs 91254 and 91256, Web Archive capture 2017-01-01) gives a 4.89 in barrel and an 8.53 in overall length, where the current page gives 120 mm / 4.7 in and 217 mm / 8.5 in. The overall lengths agree — 8.53 in is 216.7 mm — but the barrel figures differ by about 4 mm, and 4.89 in is the number that circulates most widely for this pistol. This record follows the current product page under the same rule applied to the G29 Gen5, G41 and G17L, and the archived listing is cited so the disagreement is checkable. Ignition IS recorded here, unlike the TaurusTX 22, and the distinction is the whole point: Taurus's striker block is a safety component on a different axis, whereas CZ's owner's manual states the mechanism itself — "The hammer is cocked, released and the pistol fired by one pull of the trigger" (p. 6) — so ignition is sourced to the manual and not to the product page, which never classifies it. Operating system is unrecorded: the manual calls the pistol "a semi automatic handgun equipped with locked breech system" (p. 4), which is a locking method rather than one of this directory's operating-system classes, and CZ never says recoil- or gas-operated. A NEAR MISS WORTH KNOWING: the manual gives a factory trigger-pull setting of 10 N (p. 10) under a heading reading "IT ONLY APPLIES TO THE CZ SHADOW 2 TARGET VARIANT", so that figure does not reach this record — read the heading, not the match. The manual otherwise corroborates the product page: its version table (p. 6) lists the Shadow 2 as SA/DA with a manual safety and, unlike the Carry, no decocker and no firing pin safety, and p. 4 describes the manual safety as ambidextrous, a detail the product page omits and which is therefore left out of the controls row rather than blended into a product-page-sourced value. Year introduced is unrecorded: no launch source was found on the current news index, in the 190 archived cz-usa.com news URLs, or on the archived product page, following the G42, G43, G44, TX22, P365 and PDP precedent. Manufacturer size class and directory frame class are unset; CZ publishes neither, and classifying a pistol on its measurements is what the G44 rule forbids. Slide finish is unrecorded: the current listing publishes none, and the retired page's prose about a nitride finish is not on the source this record follows. The en-US and international pages were compared and are identical. Also published and unrecorded for want of a schema field: a steel frame, duralumin grips, a 3–4 mm trigger reset, trigger travel given separately per action mode, an unthreaded barrel, and a $1,399 price.
