Launched in 2016 Shadow Systems is a designer and manufacturer of premium firearms and firearms parts, based in Plano, Texas. According to the words of owners, Shadow Systems is committed to offering the most price-competitive, highest-value pistols and parts on the market. From their website: Our philosophy in this space is to create a product that provides unparalleled quality, reliability, price, and delivery in everything we do. Our quality comes from premium ma- terials, premium machining, and REAL testing in carry, combat, and competi- tion roles. Our philosophy on reliability is that "a 4 lbs. bang always beats a 3 lbs. light strike." We engineer for reliabil- ity first and foremost. We have focused on vertical integration to yield cost sav- ings for Shadow, which allows us to provide the best value in the industry. Sophistication in our supply chain man- agement yields shorter lead times and on-time deliveries. The Shadow Systems team is made up of combat veterans, former law en- forcement officers, and competitive shooters. They offer complete guns and upgrade parts such as barrels, slides, triggers which are all manufactured in-house. Each of the products is thor- oughly tested in carry, duty and compet- itive shooting conditions before being released to the public. Core of the Shadow Systems prod- ucts are Glock-based 920 series pis- tols looking featuring design reminis- cent of the expensive custom guns from well-known brands. The M920 is a compact gun based on G19, the DR920 is based on full-size G17 and the MR920L is a crossover, like the G19X/G45 but opposite as it features the 19-sized frame with 17-sized slide (G45 is full-size frame with compact slide). The MR920 and DR920 are avail- able in Combat and Elite editions, the MR920L is currently the Elite only. Elite is a top-shelf variant, the Combat is a bit simpler and more affordable. www.fragoutmag.com
