Shadow Systems MR920

[David S.]

I paid just under $730 plus $30 for insured shipping at Dahlonega Armory, which I found on the gun.deals website. The Email for Price got me a nice $150 off. It was at my FFL in a week. That's for the Combat model (simpler slide milling) with optic cut, without threaded barrel. They quoted $90 more for the Elite model.

I'm finding Gen 5 Glocks MOS in the low $600's (non blue label pricing). If this thing runs and is accurate, then it seems like a really good value.


Pics of the optic mounting hardware and BUISs that I hadn't seen elsewhere.

I am seriously looking at these for a number of reasons. The optic mount seems like it's one of, if not, the best out there and want to mount an RMR/Deltapoint Pro straight out of box. I also like that it has backstraps which don't ADD material to the trigger reach when I really want to shorten it. There has to be some downside, likely with compatibilty of parts somewhere inside. It honestly appears to address so many shortcomings of what Glock might call "perfection", which many people spend thousands chasing to essentially rebuild the pistol from top to bottom. I like the idea of just hitting the easy button and just having it ready made and not end up with a Frankengun abortion.

They take all gen 3/gen 4 parts. Great gun

The newer ones have a proprietary firing pin even the mr920s and such. Rounded vs glock rectangular.


Personally I swap out the trigger and connector for eom glock. And I run oem glock 19 slides with a direct cut 509T

I have broken some mr920 firing pins but I have broken glock too

Yes but generally that is not the part that breaks. Usually the Shadow system striker body breaks in half.

The tip is not the issue and a little misleading video (saying this as someone who carries a mr920 daily and owns a bunch of shadow pistols)

Some examples. First one is how mine have broken

That said if it breaks they will replace it. My training guns usually have ss strikers and my carry guns glock strikers

How does the MR920 grip angle compare to a Zev OZ9C? How about a standard 19?
I've come to greatly prefer the Zev grip angle over the standard G19 for shooting with a red dot.
While I could just go buy a second OZ9C, if the MR920 has a similar grip angle it'll save me about $600.

It depends which backstrap you use. The three backstraps don’t change the grip size, they change the grip angle. According to the website, one gets you a Glock grip angle, one gets a 1911ish angle, and gets you a S&W M&P grip angle.

Any reports of broken firing pins with the new rounded tip and rebound spring?
