I'm so tired of seeing comments like this. I got a CR920XP earlier this week and it's had an absolute ton of failure to feed jams over the first 500 rounds I've thrown through it so far. In addition I'm getting the occasional failure to lock back on an empty mag and the occasional stove pipe/failure to eject. It's not the ammo or user error. I have ran exclusively either 124gr S&B or defensive ammo (147gr Federal HST). I'm also not some limp wristed noobie shooter. In a typical month I go through around 2000 rounds, shooting 2-3x weekly both solo practice + once weekly private training sessions focused on improving for USPSA. This is also not the only SS gun I've had problems with. I have a MR920 warpoet that deals with fairly frequent (1-2 per 100 rounds) light primer strikes. I've got a XR920P that likes to stove pipe. Meanwhile none of my glocks, FNs or caniks have any of these issues. They all eat whatever ammo I put in them and run like you'd expect them to. TL;DR SS has a QA problem. That you've never experienced any issues means you won the QA lottery. That others have experienced them means they lost the QA lottery. You can't extrapolate your sample size of one out to "everyone else is lying or incompetent". I mean... you can - it just makes you sound like a bit of an ass.
@@Lateralus1007hard pass. Everyone knows the Walther pdp is king of striker fired guns. The shadow is probably less then $100 more then the 19x and I can guarantee the 920xp will outshoot that Glock all day long.
FYI, the magazine release, slide release, extractor plunger, trigger housing and trigger are not glock compatible but you can install a complete glock 43x trigger system in them.
Good afternoon from Brazil, my friend, a question. Sorry if the words are somehow out of context. I use Google Translate. I watch all your videos and I notice that there is a control absurd recoil. How do you do that? Do you have any technique? There were two questions, hahaha, thank you for the video, for the attention and for the wonderful work. God bless the Americas 🇧🇷🤝🇺🇲
@mikeh7203 Good evening. Nothing happened to it. Because it's the smaller 15 round frame. I was no longer able to get a 💪 GRIP 💪 on it no more. Three of my fingers on my right hand have swelling problems. I can get the swelling to go down. That 🤏🏻 bit of swelling cause my fingers not able to get a solid hold on it anymore. Had to sell it
@@jamesdelong6401 Very sorry to hear that, only reason I ask is that I also have the MR920L it’s a great gun but was thinking of selling it and getting the smaller CR920XP as it would be easier to conceal. Problem is my gun store would only offer me 350 for it which is not nearly enough to sell it. Hope you got a good price for yours.
@mikeh7203 Good morning. Yea. My local gun shop is really good on being fair & honest on buying a firearm that you want to sell. Most people don't understand is. Firearms are no different than anything else. Depending on what model you have a how collectible it is. Depend on how much it's value is. They gave me hafe of what I paid for it new back in February of 2023.
I already know...the feed issues is the Ammo... Because of the Port system,atleast 124gr ammo and up is required 👍😎🇺🇸 Also because of the Port system,it is important to clean daily after shooting or you will eventually have issues in disassembling the ported barrel...
I own an MR920 and love it. I'm not sold on the CR920 though. Why buy an expensive gun built on the Glock pattern that doesn't take Glock magazines? It also seems to have problems with 115 grain and lighter ammo. That's a non-starter for me.
I legit don't know much about Shadow Systems at all, but why would I get this over a Glock with a comp? Besides really nice engraving, what am I getting that makes it better?
Ya everything new is a Glock killer.Ha,Ha,Ha,. I have been hearing this 🐂💩 for years. Glocks are not the best. But they still kick ass. I am not a Glock fan boy. But I am a Glock Trard 😊.
Glock is the opposite of the AK47. I mean that in the best way possible. In glocks the parts are interchangeable. AK's have to be hand fitted even though the parts rattle in the gun. Ak's also wear out after a few thousand rounds and are far less reliable than they are given credit for.
This is definitely a flatter shooter than the sig. I was blown away at the accuracy. It shoots just as flat as my 365xl with a HA comp. Shadow has some voodoo recoil magic going on with this 920
American industries making Glock clones, this is amazing, but i still prefer the original Glock, made in Áustria. Cheers from Brazil Sootch, i hope that is not to late to save the USA, remember that this could be your last election.
Shadow systems make Glocks look and feel like psa. Not to mention for a few hundred dollars more you get 100$ night sights serrations and slide cuts that usually cost 1-200$ And without considering anything else. The warranty is the best, as they will give you a brand new gun if you lost yours in a self defense situation and it’s legal) they will send you a new one with no charge
What glock is as good as this gun? What glock is compensated, what glock has a barrel, trigger or even grip like that! 😂 Glock in design idea is great but then someone buys a glock and the only left is the LS engine but that doesn't make it a GM car! Glock clone 😂☠️
I bought one of these SS micro glocks, HATED the grip. The hard corners hurt my hands when shooting it. I bought a PSA comp’d micro dagger and it was a world of difference. Been flawless. And waaaay less money
I would have bought a Shadow Systems gun long ago, but I hate the stupid little nonfunctional windows in the slide. They're unnecessary as the barrels aren't ported, and can only allow more dirt and debris into the gun. I hate slide windows.
@@logant5552 That's the thing, though -- I want the comp and all the other little features that aren't in the Foundation Series. I just hate useless slide windows.
@@jc8491 they have foundation, combat, and elite. At least w the MR920 idk about the CR comped I could be wrong and if I am that’s my bad I haven’t looked super deep into them yet
I owned one it’s OK but it’s just lipstick on a pig. Glock ! My Sig is a better pistol for the money Glock is a solid reliable gun but it’s a pig. For the cost of a Shadow Systems my H&K P 30 shoots better , feels better
Why is that? I have a stac cs that had been comp’d by atlas and I shoot it all the time in competitions from concealed. I do that to get reps with it. I’ve never had any issues. So why would the comp be an issue? Not trying to start a social tiff, just interested in your thinking.

Why did they make it a 124 grain requirement when 115 grain is extremely common? My Glock 43X eats anything... as does my Glock 19.
@@Dfgbuiiyyyybbbecause compensators are like suppressors. The pressure to extract under powered ammo is the problem.

But wait, there’s more! But seriously, I want one
Hoping you’ll be able to make a review on the new rock island stk200
Just got my CR920xp today, got the one with the bronze barrel. Want grain have you been running with range ammo ? And self defense ammo?
Just got me one
You showed a Browning 380 a couple years ago. Do you know where I might find one to purchase? Thanks!!!
I didn't care for the cr920x, the recoil wasn't very pleasant in the hand, I may try this version, hopefully foundation series is on the way.
Cool.
What’s a good way for a newcomer to test if they can handle 9mm recoil?

Asking because wanted to put on A plus 5 base plate.
