Shadow Systems

[SteamedHams]

It looks like an on-roster DR920P is going to be $1100. I'm not that familiar with Shadow Systems seeing as how they weren't previous on-roster, but what's the general consensus on these guns? Are they worth the $500-$600 premium over a G17/G34? For the price you could get a G34, milled slide, trigger job, and new barrel and still come out a bit ahead.

Wondering the same thing. Is it better than my G17 with a radian? Definitely looks cooler lol

Aren't shadow systems based on gen 4 glock frames?

I had a MR920 Elite and sold it. It's where Glock should be now. The optic mount system is very nice and basically any footprint will work with the gun. The trigger was ok, and same with the ergo's. The tolerances are tighter than a Glock it seemed. Is it worth the extra money over a Glock is a great question. I guess I'd say maybe.
It seemed more like a Gen 3 with a few bit of gen 4.
All in all they are pretty cool guns.

Rost Martin or Shadow Systems DR920P? I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. The Rost Martin is cheap and looks like it packs quite a bit of goodies. The DR920P is expensive but looks to shoot really flat.

Adding that XR920 since it's on the roster now. The Optic system is one of the best on the market. And I forgot how good the back-straps were too.

My rub with the RM is is doesn't use Glock magazines from what I can find. If it did it would sell a ton.

the RM is design inspired/collaborated with the Arex delta which also uses p10 mags. And yeah, the second i saw it didn't take glock mags I was instantly disinterested. Even at such a good price, i just don't want to have to deal with another magazine platform.

I would wait for the new version with comp and better grip texture.

Agree with you on this. Every new manufacturer should consider Glock mags.
