Why I won't carry the CZ Shadow 2 Compact.
The CZ Shadow 2 Compact is deemed unsuitable for defensive concealed carry due to the absence of a passive firing pin block, increasing drop-fire risk. Unlike the CZ P-01 Compact, it lacks a decocker, necessitating manual hammer lowering over a live round, which poses a negligent discharge risk. While aesthetically pleasing, the P-01 is presented as a safer, more practical, and affordable alternative for everyday carry.
