Shadow Systems Accessories
Excellence, Enhanced.
Shadow Systems has developed key accessories built specifically for our pistols, to enhance the shooting experience. From hearing protection, to compensated slides, patented pending optic mounts, and our beautiful barrels, Shadow’s design excellence extends through to the tools that enhance your shooting experience.
Law Enforcement & Military
We know what’s on the line, that is why we design our pistols to be bet-your-life-reliable. Our feature-packed pistols are designed to reduce recoil, adjust grip angle, and work with your existing gear and training.
COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR DIVERSE TEAM
Why should your officers have to adapt to a frame, when our frame can adapt to your officers. Adjustable ergonomics means Shadow Systems pistols can work for each and every member of your team.
AMERICAN MADE
Many claim it, but few actually deliver. Every part and pistol is made here in the U.S.A., with American materials and labor.
ROUND THE CLOCK SUPPORT
We are here to answer any questions, educate your team, and provide product support. We stand behind every single product we create, for the life of your pistol. Many of us have been in your shoes.
