Eitel1207 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) The S2 orange is here and it sure is nice! Better overall feel vs the previous S2 in the grip, better feel on weight distribution. The addition of the 1911 style bushing is a big plus! Only downside as of right now is it didnt ship with a flat safety and has the extended safety oob. Priced at 1999 usd.

Yes, but better over all feel and the trigger is way better. Also has more ridges in the orange grips than the previous S2 and from the SBS comparison the slide has a slightly diffent custout variation. I compare an urban grey SBS while purchasing.

jeffte283 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 How is the feel different? What change on the weight distribution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slavex Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 yeah outside of the bushing, it's just hand fitting and slightly different grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanb Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 And after a couple bucks I’m trigger work on the regular s2 the trigger is beyond fantastic at a far lower price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would just have to go pick up a shadow 2 and this one. I don't know if the bushing gives it a little lighter feel in the barrel and a more overall balanced feel, but I originally went into to look at the S2 Urban Grey and didn't even know they had the orange in because it was tucked away in a box in the back. I was testing the bull shadow, and urban grey but neither seemed to be comfortable to me. Even my husband picked them up and didn't prefer their feel. That's when I was told, well we have a new one in, do you want to try it? As soon as I picked it up, it had a steadier feel to it overall. Husband and 4 people standing there said the same thing. This is just my take on it as not everyone likes every gun and not ever gun feels right to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cglhawk260 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 The CZ Shadow 2 Orange is very similar to the Accu Shadow 2. It appears to have a few additional features such as the polished barrel and additional hand fitting. There're priced very similar as well..

Stuey Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I was wanting to get one, but hard to justify the additional cost. Would it be Production legal or be in Limited Class?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdp88 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Is there any practical reason to go with the Orange over the standard S2 in USPSA? Other than you just want the Orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twister Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 My friend picked one up Saturday at the NRA convention, paid $1995 for it. I didn't get to shoot it, but seems like a very nice gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatpukk Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Does anyone know if it uses standard size "bushing hole" in slide? Do you think it will be possible to retrofit a regular shadow 2 I mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinimon Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) I believe it is a locking style bushing like a 1911. You can send your slide in to get the mill work done by CZ Custom for their Accubushing or the other option is to change the factory bushing to a CGW 10X. Edit: i should have stated, the mill work by CZC or CGW bushing would be for a non-Orange S2 as the Orange already has the upgrade.

Matt1 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Putting a Cajun bushing in a Shadow 2 Orange would be retarded Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slavex Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I posted a ton of photos from the Orange back when the 2 was announced. You definitely can't fit a regular bushing in there, which as Matt1 states, would be dumb anyhow, including a CGW one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
