First Look: Shadow Systems CR920XL

Shadow Systems has just released the CR920XL, a full-size 9mm that offers peak performance for the CR series.

Shadow Systems’ latest addition to its catalog is the CR920XL, and the company says that it’s the new pinnacle of performance for the CR series. The improvements should not only make the pistol more shootable, but more concealable as well.

Featuring a 4.2-inch match-grade barrel and a 15+1 capacity, the CR920XL has a slimmer profile (width of .86 inches) that fits more hands and is easier to carry concealed. The redesigned internal slide geometry, combined with optimized slide travel, results in an extremely smooth recoil impulse. These changes also bolster the pistol’s reliability in the face of weak ammo, limp-wristing and improper maintenance.

Other features of the CR920XL include aggressive grip texturing, an optics-ready slide and match-grade internals. They also ship with flat-face triggers and the barrel finish is offered in either Bronze TiCN or Black Nitride. No MSRP has been published, but online retailers appear to be listing them at around $830.
