Shadow Systems Pistols

[Geraldg6]

Do any of you have experience with Shadow Systems MR920 Elite? I know they are a Glock with upgrades. Wondering if it’s worth the sticker.

I've had one for a while.

I still prefer Gen 5 Glocks with an optics cut. My MR920 just collects dust now. It is a good pistol though.

What don’t you like?

I prefer the trigger on Gen 5 Glocks which I personally think are pretty dang good. I'm not a fan of the Shadow Systems Trigger. The grip texture on the Shadow Systems is also pretty slick.

I don't think you'll find anything objectively bad about it. It's going to be personal. I just personally feel it doesn't do anything better than a Glock. It is a good, reliable, accurate pistol.

Their optics cut is probably the best factory option out there.

I can’t imagine that any of these high dollar pistols do anything an out of the box one won’t do. I own many Glocks and they have always been plenty accurate and 100% reliable. Thats all I need in a pistol.

I laugh when I see folks that have tied up a ton of money in “upgrades” to a Glocks and then try to sell them for 2-3 times the cost of a new factory gun. At the end of the day it’s still a Glock and only worth what someone is willing to pay no matter how much money you chose to sink into it.

I'd have to agree. When I bought my MR920 Elite I paid $799. Considering adding the sights alone to a Glock would be $100 plus, and that you are getting an optics mounting system that let's you mount directly to the slide instead of stacking plates, I thought the price was fair. Looks like the Elites are all above $900 now.

How about shooting with the extended beaver tail?

Are you asking if it gets in the way? Or if it makes a difference in shooting?


I'm going to say no and no.

Does it improve the way it shoots.

Not in my opinion.

I’ve had my mr920 for awhile and love it and it’s my main carry gun.

Same here. Mine was an impulse buy, and now is collecting dust also. I put around 500 rounds on mine. Never had any issues, but prefer the Glock MOS.
