    I feel like the trade with the 500 dollar is your best option. Up to you my friend

    Ahhhh, the age old struggle between want and need! I have always wanted to keep my guns "as built". My thought would be to purchase a separate slide milled to take the optic and keep the original slide stock so you have the best of both worlds. Either way Dan, you win.

    From a collecting / value standpoint the trade is the way to go. Always trade up.

    Sounds like a good trade. Either way you will be happy with the gun and optic.

  • @DShiflet01

    I'd just mill the slide, but then I don't have any particular attachment to the TS2 either.

    3. Doing the deal would be fun (you only live once)

    Mill the slide of your Shadow I. You know the gun and how it shoots. It’s only $400 to upgrade and have everything you need.

  • @scotttyler9774
    @scotttyler9774 3 месяца назад +2

    I would trade. Two reasons, 1) I was at CZ Custom several weeks ago and tried the trigger on the TS2 Orange in 40. Outstanding!!!!
    2) after watching your video I checked their price on the shadow 2 optic ready (1300). Make the trade, then you could possibly get the S2 you want for less than you'd have in the one currently in your safe.

    @markadams7597 3 месяца назад +3

    I love CZ. I'd do whatever to acquire which ever CZ model appleade to me. The Shadow 2 is amazing. However, the TS2 Orange is a beautiful classic keep-sake. Trade, with the Benjamins, (but tell your bud you want "the right of first refusal" if he ever wants to divest of the/your Shadow 2). Great vid, thanks. Good luck!!

  • @3wheelmannc860
    @3wheelmannc860 3 месяца назад +2

    I would like to see the new Shadow 2 Compact in .40, especially if I am going to carry that version. I waited until I could get the S2 with the factory plate...was fortunate to find a good deal. For your deal...get the pew tool which makes you most happy...like you said, the S2 is readily available...but you may want to do it soon before Colt runs CZ into the ground and it looks like it is going that way quickly. Come on CZ step and and reclaim control and do what you do best.

  • @toytech1679
    @toytech1679 3 месяца назад

  • @TheRighttoArmBears2022
    @TheRighttoArmBears2022 3 месяца назад

    I would get the optics mount that you can attach to the pic rail under the barrel and mount the optic that way.

  • @keness4768
    @keness4768 3 месяца назад +1

    I would trade for it. After all, if you crave a shadow 2 down the road, you could always get the compact...

  • @rodanone4895
    @rodanone4895 3 месяца назад

    i have a czechmate set up in open right now. i have shadow 2... get the TS2 Orange. you will find it one of the best triggers ever. i think you can get an optic mount that fits where the thumb mount is on the orange too and run it open.

  • @leighmonty13
    @leighmonty13 3 месяца назад

    Depends which trigger you like best ,with like you've said everything is getting scarse with them you might not get the blue one again but that deal is good ,me personally ild get it milled .

  • @emmausroadjourneyman3530
    @emmausroadjourneyman3530 3 месяца назад

    another option: you could get the mount that replaces the rear sight on the Shadow 2, no milling required. As far as $400 for milling, vs Shadow2+$500 for trade, I'd go for the trade.

  • @ronnieboardman1673
    @ronnieboardman1673 3 месяца назад

    Sounds like a fair deal to me I'd go for it I'd love to have either , i have 5 czs but none of the higher end models.

  • @johndilday1846
    @johndilday1846 3 месяца назад

    @steelpunisher6944 3 месяца назад +2

    @DanielEastwood25 3 месяца назад +1

    Definitely trade! My best friend (and competition pal) has a TS2 and loves it a lot. But the Orange is so rare and valuable these days that I think its a pretty clear choice man 👍

  • @johnwoods8291
    @johnwoods8291 3 месяца назад +1

    I have both of these and actually took both to the range today. They are both really great to fire. I would not trade my Shadow 2 or my TS2 Orange. You have a tough one here. I will keep both always. Sorry I wasn't much help. Both are great shooters.

  • @jeffreydutton7285
    @jeffreydutton7285 3 месяца назад

    Dan, Have Cajun Gun Works mill the slide and direct mount an optic on the Shadow 2. I did that with mine and it was great not needing to mess with a plate. Then go buy the TS2🙂

  • @craigm1954
    @craigm1954 3 месяца назад

    Easy, trade for the Orange. The SAO trigger and bull barrel are special features that can't be matched on the Shadow 2, and if I really wanted a dot on it, I'd easily go the rear sight style.

  • @p40warhawk91

  • @TheOfficialCaseMade
    @TheOfficialCaseMade 3 месяца назад

    Dan, I gotta say I think you'd be doing well if you traded the S2 for the TS2. Seems to me like you've really put some thought into it and you WANT that TS2.
    My thoughts are: do the deal, down the road get another Shadow if you really miss it. You can get it optic ready for $1100, or get a regular Shadow 2 for $900 and have it milled by Nameless Arms in AZ for $99.
    Look forward to seeing your decision! All the best, Casey.

  • @gair1944
    @gair1944 3 месяца назад

    Make the trade for sure. You can get an S2 optics ready with relative ease if you ever want the CZ ergo's in a DA/SA ...that is optic ready or leave it with iron sights. TS2's are rare and super excellent. Go for it.

  • @cw7631
    @cw7631 3 месяца назад

    That is a fair deal and it is a better version of a similiar gun. I have an SP-01 Tactical and picked it up used with a lot of upgrades for cheap. Can't let that one go. I think you won't miss the Shadow after getting the Orange.

  • @rockdocpalmcoast4189

  • @daily4020
    @daily4020 3 месяца назад

    This is a winning trade for you because that is the rarer model. Another Shadow 2 can be had. If you switched places, you would probably just buy a Shadow 2 and keep the TS2. So it's up to you to mill your current one or let your buddy give that orange a good home. Thanks for the consideration.

  • @chuckr5929
    @chuckr5929 3 месяца назад +1

    I would definitely do the trade, the TS2 will continue to climb in value compared to the other one.

  • @lazybear236
    @lazybear236 3 месяца назад

    I think the trade is a decent idea. But remember the TS2 requires a different magazine. I'd stick to the Shadow 2 and have it milled personally. TS2 shipments might suddenly come in and the price would drop. But the Shadow 2 is such a good platform and sharing mags with all CZ 75 guns is a big deal.

  • @whatsup24_7
    @whatsup24_7 3 месяца назад +1

    This may not be what you are looking for as a answer? I own the shadow 2 da/sa one of my favorites. I picked up a very slightly used ts2 blue. The handguns are so close in performance I questioned why I purchased the ts2. That was about two years ago. I am now happy that I own both. I would keep your s2 and mill for optic.

  • @hardline2a
    @hardline2a 3 месяца назад +1

    I’d do the trade. You can find more shadow 2s but you might not get a better deal for putting hands on an orange

    • @Sirgromulus
      @Sirgromulus 3 месяца назад

      Ditto. I personally like them Shadow 2 more than the TSO, but Shadows seem to be more readily available these days....both regular and OR models.

  • @marklanders9649
    @marklanders9649 3 месяца назад

    Instead of paying to get an optic slide cut in...I would make the trade for the CZ Orange that has a FACTORY MADE CUT in the slide . Just in case you ever had to send it in for warranty work.

  • @YoushouldloveyourselfNOW1738
    @YoushouldloveyourselfNOW1738 3 месяца назад +2

  • @redeye8526
    @redeye8526 3 месяца назад +1

    make the trade. non reciprocating red dot mounts are better for this type of competition pistol. also pretty sure the TSO has a better trigger . milling a shadow 2 makes no sense unless if youre actually gonna carry that hog

  • @anthonyhegg8348
    @anthonyhegg8348 3 месяца назад

    If you want the TS2, I think it’s a good deal, but if you like the Shadow 2, pay to have the slide milled and call it a day. I have shot both and prefer the Shadow 2, only because that TS2 trigger for me is a little light for my liking. I don’t shoot competition though. My next gun purchase is a Shadow 2.
