Tuning the Shadow 2: New Frame Weight from Eemann Tech
The Eemann Tech Frame Weight for the CZ Shadow 2 is designed to improve front-end balance and reduce felt recoil during fast strings of fire. Machined from blackened carbon steel, the unit adds approximately 172 grams (around 6 ounces) to the pistol’s frame, shifting weight forward to increase muzzle stability and help keep the sights flatter under recoil. Could a bit more front-end weight help your sights track flatter during fast transitions?
Installation is straightforward. The weight attaches using two internal screws, and a HEX key is included. No permanent modifications to the pistol are required, allowing users to install or remove the weight depending on stage demands or match preferences. I would presume one may have to alter the holster design as well, depending on which model you’re using. Perhaps a race holster might work, while a Kydex (or similar) holster might be too thin.Â
The accessory is intended for competitive shooters who want more controllability in rapid transitions and follow-up shots, offering a simple way to tune the Shadow 2’s handling characteristics without altering the firearm’s core geometry. What do you think of the idea?
Specifications:
- Material: Carbon Steel, blackened
- Color: Black
- Weight: ~172 g (~6.0 oz)
- Compatibility: CZ Shadow 2 Frame
- Mounting: Two inner screws (HEX key included)
- Purpose: Forward weight distribution for recoil compensation
According to Eemann Tech, there’s a version for the Compact Shadow 2 planned as well.
Is your current CZ Shadow 2 setup giving you the balance you’re looking for, or is there still room to tune it? Would you prefer a compensator instead, to kind of accomplish the same thing?  Let us know in the comments.

A 6 ounce weight on a gun that already weighs 3 pounds seems a bit unnecessary.
