Default cz shadow2 optic ready vs shadow2 orange .which one?

Hi,
if you can get only one between shadow2 optic ready and shadow 2 orange,
which one you will get ? why? please share you opinion. This is only for target fun range gun - of course they are not for carry gun.

Thanks in advance,
Arfan

I don’t have a S2 OR but I can’t imagine they go through the same hand fitting process a S2O did at the factory.

Do you want a red dot on your gun or are you ok with iron sights? Both will be very accurate and easy to shoot but I would go for the optic ready.

take S2 orange over OR any time
you can send Shadow2 to CZ custom to get Optical cut out

Shadow 2 Orange is better gun then Optical ready. Optical is just like nomal Shadow 2

I saw someone on Market place asking 3.2K for Optical ready.
I may pay that price of Shadow2 Orange but not for Optical model

I’ve handled a Shadow Orange as well as a Tactical Sport Orange and if you are going to spend that kind of money, I’d go for the TSO.

If you get an orange you can buy a factory optic ready slide from Cajun now and have both.

Orange, it's a better pistol out of the box.

For target fun range gun, I’d say neither. You’re better off with a TSO with your intended use. You’ll be more accurate with the TSO’s light SA trigger.

This IS Calguns after all...

Had an unexpected expense come up a couple days ago that is about the same cost as acquiring one of these in CA would be so...it goes to the back burner again.
