Springfield Prodigy VS CZ Shadow 2 - One clear winner

- Today we compare the new Springfield Prodigy to the tried and true CZ shadow 2. That CZ shadow series is a crowd favorite in the competition scene, and with a price point similar to the Prodigy, is it worth choosing one over the other?

All these years and the CZ Shadow 2 system is still a beast🤯
I have a Shadow 2, my brother has a 4.25 Prodigy. We both like the recoil feel on the prodigy more, it just feels softer. But we're both able to shoot the Shadow faster, and more accurately. Both great guns, but they fill very different roles.
Upgrade the prodigy and you get both feeling
@@carlofontejon2811 After shooting thousands of rounds through both, the Shadow 2 ended up being the favorite. Just a better gun.
@@iamnotarealboyYeah I love CZ, they are very high quality guns man but I really want a 2011 and don’t want to put a mortgage on my house just to get one. So I’m going to go for the Prodigy cause I don’t plan on competing in my life but do plan to carry it and train with it and upgrade it along the way. I just love the old school 1911 style man. It’s a timeless classic. Once I get a little more financially stable I plan on getting a CZ and a couple other dream guns. That’s the plan anyway. Thanks for the advice brother!
I thought the shadow 2 was the best but after perfecting my grip I can get the prodigy back on target quite a bit faster. I can shoot most compact and subcompact guns faster than the shadow 2 now so most people will have a different opinion. Cycling speed becomes one of the biggest factors once you perfect your grip and most guns that can get back on target the fastest are usually the hardest to control.
i observed that ur reload is not efficient and ur flipping the magazine out and it causing inconsistent reload.try to slightly angle and press the mag button and the magazine will drop free consistently.😊
I'll give a bit of real critique I had to have the volume at max to hear your voice, but the gun fire was LOUD this is the first video I've watched of you but make sure to balance out the sound or better yet make the gunfire more quiet than you're voice!
I've been wondering this comparison... Thank you.
Been torn between the shadow 2 and the 5" prodigy. Currently have a 509M and gen 5 G17, but want something a little nicer. Think its going to come down to firing them at the range.
What did you get? I just ordered the 5 inch prodigy and am going to try it out as a entry comp gun and then move up to the staccato next if I do well!
Thanks for the comparison and review! I was specifically looking for this comparison.
Glad it was helpful!
@@RallyTactical What is your thoughts on Alpha Foxtrot S15?
Looks like an interesting piece. Haven’t held it or shot it tho. Price point is up there but so are the features
@RallyTactical Feels really solid and the trigger feels excellent. Haven't shot it yet either. Price point is along with the Prodigy and Shadow 2 compact. Well, I'll keep checking you out for new reviews. Appreciate the reply.
Use your left thumb to drop the slide release on the 2011 platform and the shadow
why are u flicking the mags out? use gravity bro
He is not flicking them. He is John wicking them.
Shoot groups and show them🤔
Shows off the Prodigy five feet away at side view the whole time. Shows off the Shadow side view, then a close up, back to side view, then close up of other side, then close up of mag well but other than that I sense no bias at all! Prodigy didn’t stand a chance from the start. Lmao.
I noticed. He is fond of the cz
CZ Shadow 2 is rising in investment value!
Bias from the very beginning. Noticed it right away. Predictable
Kind of a strange comparision. S2 was built as a comp. gun, the Prodigy is a budget 2011 carry gun. Nobody carries a S2. Nobody cares about offhand shots at steel @ 50, 75 and 100 yards. You're the variable, not the gun. Those guns are more accurate than you are.
@@RallyTactical It costs them nothing to offer it on a website. Lets hear your opinion on takedown, trigger, sights, controls, value. "one clear winner" C'mon, that's clickbait.
Not the comparison we want but the one we need.
You need more friends Pierre. I carried a S2, then I got a TS2 and carried it.
Also... Prodigy that overpriced piece of MIM is "budget", lol. FFS bro.
@@m4rvinmartian lmao, I bet you did! One born every minute.
It has a slide catch/release RIGHT WHERE YOUR WEAK SIDE THUMB IS!!! USE YOUR LEFT THUMB!!!
Prodigy is a tragedy….
I just left the range with these two pistol love them both
You appeared to take more time shooting the CZS2 at the longer ranges.
It is deadly accurate for a 9mm handgun. It's truly a tact driver.
Sorry …I could tell the moment you picked up the cz you liked that gun better
Springfield doesn't stand a chance against shadow 2. the only gun that is better is Tanfoglio defiant stock master. used to be a fan of Springfield. still own a XDM elite, very good gun. but after buying the junk hellcat, i couldn't get rid of it fast enough. was glad to sell it at half price even with extra mags. now i won't ever buy a Springfield. they are very difficult to manage. not accurate compared to other guns like CZ and Sig.
Everyone is entitled to operate their pistol how they see fit but hitting the slide release takes about 50 to 60 percent off the time of a manual slide cycle reload so I just don't get guys still going over the top like that, makes zero sense and listen, miss me with the "that's the way you're supposed to do it", that's fud lore, let's just do what works best fellas okay?
I concur. You lose significant time by manually operating the slide like that. Not just in the operation of the slide vs hitting the slide release, but it adds a whole step that interrupts and delays sight acquisition.
@@abowens777 I couldn't agree more brother. The slide release is intuitive and what's interesting is some of the same guys that state it's a slide "catch" only, will be the first guys to tell you it's too far forward or set too far back to use as a release, doesn't make any sense if you're going over the top, what do you care where it is? LOL. Thanks for your common sense comment my friend, God bless.
Yeah I’ve never understood that either and all these RUclips shooters swear by it, talking about miss feeds and so on and how it could get you killed in a defensive scenario but I’ve never had a miss feed from a slide release. That’s like saying every time you reload an AR you need to use the charging handle because it’s the wrong way. It’s called a slide release for a reason people!
A cz does not point more naturally than any 1911 my friend
You can tell you're a CZ fanboy.😂😂😂😂😂
4.25 vs 5 inch
Yea I'll take that CZ shadow 2 all day and everyday! That thing is an amazing shooter and sexy looking piece! 🔥
Prodigy isn't a competition gun. If someone was going to run it in comps they would have it tuned. It doesn't coe tuned. It's a USA made gun at a 2011 budget price.
Comparing CZ shadow to 2011 is like comparing a tuned cast 1911Rock Island to a stock TRP. Yeah it will do well in this scenario, but it would still not be a valid comparison. Nobody runs a stock prodigy from the factory at competition. The cz is a cheap competition gun that CZ sets up for competition from the factory with certain classes in mind with it's weight and capacity.
Vid seemed bias from the go btw. And I own neither.
The fact that prodigy is even being compared is impressive considering it did come as a budget 2011 with mim internals and not set up for competition like the CZ is 100% set up for.
Exactly, it’s a budget gun for people who want a 2011 but don’t want to take a loan from the bank to get one! I want a Prodigy because I want a 1911 frame but with more capacity and that’s it. I don’t ever plan to use it competitively at all. Obviously a gun set up for people just starting in competition without spending thousands from the factory would do better in comparison and yeah this guy might as well just started the video with “I love CZ and all other guns aren’t shit, so this new 2011 is also shit. Hit that subscribe button for my next review!”.
i feel exuding bias
@@RallyTacticalcarrying a shadow 2 would prove the person to be clinically insane. 😂
@@RallyTacticalhaha, the shadow would look like a third leg on lucas 😂
@@zozofyBro I shit you not my old boss had a son that worked with us that is in the National Guard as an officer and he is definitely on the spectrum. Well we were working in Cincinnati a lot doing electrical work in some not so nice areas and he’d freaking carry his full size shadow every day and he has multiple other compacts. He just wanted to show it off every time a customer was into guns. He was a goofball man and the true definition of a weekend warrior…
@sirhackman666 thats incredible. I sometimes carry my mr920. It's a lil flashy, but I just love how it shoots. Don't carry it often though because even glock 17/19 frames are just too big sometimes. Can't even fucking imagine trying to sit down with a shadow 2 on my appendix. 🤣🤣
@@zozofyYeah and this MF used to carry appendix and act like that shit didn’t hurt him when he’d sit down or get down to work on a receptacle! Lmao. He’s a so called “tough guy”. Doesn’t talk about his feelings or being depressed or any shit like that and if you say shit about you being a little down he’d say shit like suck it up! Definitely tried hard at being that guy but his daddy would buy him EVERYTHING! He got him a newer diesel work truck with Reading service truck boxes on it and also gave him another diesel truck cause he didn’t have his own vehicle, he had to use his wife’s car. Lmao. Dude was something else and I still have to deal with him occasionally cause he’s my older brother’s “friend”. Pretty much just someone he’s known since high school, my brother don’t mess with him much cause he’s a goofball all the time and does goofy shit like carry a full size pistol on his appendix! He’s not a terrible person, he does take care of his family and stuff but he just does weird shit all the time. Last time I shot with him he literally went prone shooting that same shadow. Hahaha! I had to walk away cause I was dying on the inside…
I’ve always felt the cz cases were a little cheap if I’m going to spend $1500 on the gun he better have a damn good case
No windige
The winner is the most reliable cz the king.
100%
id rather buy a glock 19 than own a prodigy
MTV
The prodigy is garbage that grip is weird me to specially the bottom back part of the backstrap. They try to hype the crap out of it at calibers so I could buy it no chance cz ftw.
He reallywants this cz to be better
you clearly own CZ longer than Prodigy. That's why.
