Shadow Systems CR920X Foundation, 9mm, Black Frame, Black Barrel, Tritium

Nothing great can be built without a solid foundation. The FOUNDATION SERIES by Shadow Systems developed out of conversations between old-school gun guys, the type who aren’t fussy about aesthetics and want only the essential features. Built on the same frames as all Shadow Systems pistols, the FOUNDATION SERIES touts sleek ergonomics, real-world shootability, and bet-your-life reliability

THE SHADOW SYSTEMS FRAME

Built on the same world class frame as all Shadow Systems Pistols. Optimized wrap around texture gives supreme control during rapid fire, while remaiing confortable when concealed against the body. 

Our frames feature the groundbreaking Shadow Systems NPOA backstrap system, which fundamentally changes the grip angle of the gun to meet the shooter’s natural point of aim. It’s not about comfort. It’s not about small, medium, or large. It’s about getting fight stopping hits at close range, under stress, whether you see the sights or not.

Shadow Systems frames have a generous internal magwell and also come with a removable magazine well, mounting, hardware, and tool, for those who want even faster reloads. Other frame features include a high-traction magazine release button, an enhanced slide-lever curtain, and compatibility with existing holsters.

MULTI-FOOTPRINT OPTIC CUT

Tested optic brands include: Trijicon, Vortex, Leupold, Holosun, SIG, Swampfox, TruGlo, Shield. We are continuing to test optics in our mounting system.

The optic can be mounted low enough to allow for a lower 1/3 co-witness with the factory sights. Factory sights on Shadow Systems pistols feature a white dot front sight with a blacked out rear sight to allow faster sight picture under stress.

SLIDES

Nitride slide with pocket-cut serrations Shadow System pistols have the option of the patent-pending multi-footprint optic cut. This optic cut is the only one in the industry to allow for the mounting of most brands of red dot optics directly to the slide without the need for intervening plates or adapters. The optic cut mounts the optic low in the slide, with the longest and strongest screws available on the market. 

BARRELS

Shadow Systems match-grade smooth finish unthreaded barrels are precision machined to improve accuracy and conventionally rifled 1-10 inches. The lug geometry and barrel hood fit is slightly tighter than a conventional barrel, but not enough to compromise reliability.

SMALL PARTS

Shadow Systems pistols use a modified single spring recoil system which allows the user to adjust and tune the gun with different spring weights. The included recoil spring is a conventional weight flat wire spring manufactured from high-quality chrome silicon material.

All internal slide parts are machined from billet stainless steel. The extractor is our own high-reliability enhanced LCI extractor. The LCI features a serration that increases the sensation of the LCI protruding from the slide when checking by feel in darkness. The extractor features Shadow Systems proprietary geometry and material selection to enhance longevity and extraction of a wide range of ammunition.
