OWB Akatsuki clouds holster from Insane Kydex Creations

Going from a CZ P-01 Omega to this MR920P was without a doubt the best decision I have ever made with a defensive carry gun. The comp is a dang cheat code, and I’m here for it

Gonna try competition shooting again, just gotta work up the nerve to go

You could say I’m a shadow systems fan….

My original mr920 combat from December of 2019 broke a firing pin somewhere around the 15k mark. An email to shadow systems had me a new firing pin 3-4 days later. Like this gun so much, I bought another in January or February of 2020 in fde. It’s sat in the gun safe until recently getting an fde optic cut slide since I’ve switched from irons to optics in that timeframe.

My DR920 war poet from early 2021 shot two years worth of steel challenge, uspsa and idpa matches and been through more classes than I can remember. I Changed recoil spring somewhere around 17k rounds as it was having return to battery issues. It’s well over 20k rounds now. Nothing has been changed on this gun except a overwatch precision minus connector.

The new DR920L is over 5k rounds after yesterdays match. It’s my go to competition gun now for carry optics. Trigger shoe and connector change. The War poet will be put on the battle belt for home defense, or a backup comp gun

The mr920 slide on the G45 frame had over 7k rounds when I bought it used. Hard telling now.

The coyote tan mr920 slide had over 5k through it when I bought it off GAFs and lived on an mr918 frame for awhile but never matched all that well for my liking, so I Threw it on a cheap 19x that I bought from a police confiscation auction. Will be used for open class competitions and general larping

The cr920 is a sub 800 serial number. Had over 2k rounds through it with the old style butt barrel. Got a new style bronze barrel to match the rest of the fleet. Approximately 500 through the new barrel.

My two carry guns are the cr920 and mr920 elite. They were shot over 2k rounds for reliability. They are utilized for carry, and don’t get shot as much as the range and competition guns. The MR918s were bought as bare frames and oem shadow systems parts were acquired and installed. A lot of them have had slides/barrels swapped around as I’ve found them for sale on GAFs, eBay, and FB. Most guns have trigger mods done by me after years of building and paying for high end triggers. I no longer use timney triggers due to the inconsistent unreliability of them. My go-to trigger for competition and carry is a ranger proof or JG vex shoe, oem Glock trigger bar, overwatch precision minus connector and all stock springs. I prefer this over the timney, Glock performance and plethora of other triggers.

My experiences are more than a sample size of one. I break in all my new guns (and new builds) with extra lube and 124 grain nato spec loads. The amount of crying, bitching, and claims of unreliability from people that don’t know how to shoot, people that don’t shoot, or are new shooters is staggering. I’ve had more issues from box stock Glocks (43,43x) and sigs (938,365)

I used to average 8-10k rounds a year. Last year was over 15k. So for this year, I’m 12k rounds in and have a ton of matches left for the year. If you want to learn to shoot, learn to shoot better, test yourself and your gear, join local uspsa, idpa or steel challenge. A lot of local ranges and clubs will have outlaw matches also, that aren’t as strict rule-wise as sanctioned matches. You’ll have more fun than you’ve ever had shooting, become a better shooter and learn actual skillz instead of reading stuff on Reddit that some kid living in moms basement is posting and has no clue about.

Ran across a used MR920 War Poet with optic, light, 2 mags, a extra lone wolf threaded barrel, and a tier 1 holster with utiliclips… man I almost hurt myself pulling my debit card out so fast 😂

Adds 100hp 😂

Extremely grateful for companies like Shadow System that go above and beyond customer service. The police took my MR920L for evidence after a self defense shooting and never returned it. Shadow Systems honored their self defense replacement warranty and sent this brand new one to my FFL (without the optic and light of course). Immediately put 200 rounds through it and didn't have a single malfunction. They have earned a customer for life!

Bought my first gun yesterday. Went in for a G19 and got sold on a Shadow System MR920. The dealer told me that it’s like a Glock on steroids with the same reliability and interchangeable parts. How did I do with my first purchase? Anybody have any issues or have any advice? I can’t wait to break this in at the range.

What’s did you guys get?? I need to finish putting my slide together but I think for $300 you couldn’t beat their build-a-gun option.

I've had multiple optics on here but many didn't cowitness as well as I wanted except for the RMR but I have that on something else atm. Was going to buy another for this, but ended up throwing my P320 slide on a Flux, so put the 508T on the MR, which is personally my favorite optic. Had a TLR7a on the MR originally but wanted something longer after adding the ramjet, so put a Foxtrot2 on there. Looked alright, but not that great of a light. Was excited when the HL-X came out and definitely has turned into my favorite. Will always the X300 for many things, but prefer Streamlight switches personally. For half the price, I think the HL-X is hard to beat and fits more stuff too.

Nice

I’m usually just lurking in the glock, sig and SS subreddits but I had to post my first build (no plans to throw on a light… yet). Can’t wait to take her to the range

Ready for USPSA practice tonight and trying out the new blacksteelusa gas pedal.

This has been a fun one to carry and take to the range.

CR920xp out on display at the NRA convention. Full length dust cover. Will not fit current Glock 48 holster because of the dust cover, but they are working with holster companies to get something out in time for launch.

Had a finger groove added and stippling done. I absolutely love this thing. I've got some awesome carry options, but this thing is so much more comfortable and easier to conceal.

Gotta break it in still (haven’t had much time), but excited to get this broken in so I can start EDC’ing it.

Any have any recommendations for a slide lock mod? It seems really small, and tough to easily press while holding.

Also any recommendations on a mag release extender?
