Holsters for CZ Shadow 2
How to choose the best holster for your CZ Shadow 2
Choosing the best holster for CZ Shadow 2 depends on your carry style, comfort, and intended use. Consider whether you need concealed carry, range readiness, or duty performance. Holster fit, retention, and material affect draw speed and firearm protection. Custom-molded designs ensure secure retention for the CZ Shadow 2, even with optics or weapon lights.
Best CZ Shadow 2 IWB Holster
IWB Holster w Steel Clip – $89. This leather holster can be carried both IWB and appendix style, offering flexibility in how you choose to carry your CZ Shadow 2. The steel clip design is perfect for those who dislike removing their belt when attaching or detaching the holster. It also features a reinforced thumb break strap, adding extra durability and increasing the holster’s natural retention, making it a highly secure option.
Best CZ Shadow 2 OWB Holster
Open Top Belt Holster – $89. The Open Top Belt Holster is an excellent choice for those seeking easy access and a quick draw. Its pancake design provides a slim, low-profile fit, ensuring that your CZ Shadow 2 remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.
Best CZ Shadow 2 Shoulder Holster
Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the CZ Shadow 2. This leather shoulder system allows you to carry your gun in a horizontal position, secured with a thumb break strap for added safety. The system includes a double ammo holder and tie-down straps that attach to your belt, offering excellent balance and security. As a bonus, the holster can also be used as a regular belt holster, giving you two carry options in one.
Carry Options for CZ Shadow 2 holsters
Concealed Carry
Carrying a CZ Shadow 2 concealed is possible with the right holster setup. Look for designs that balance bulk, retention, and concealability. A CZ Shadow 2 concealed carry holster should offer low-profile features and smooth edges for comfort and discretion.
IWB Holsters
The CZ Shadow 2 IWB holster provides a solution for concealed carry, keeping the firearm close to the body for minimal printing. These holsters often feature adjustable cant and retention for added customization. Due to the pistol’s size and weight, IWB holsters are best suited for users comfortable with larger firearms.
OWB Holsters
A CZ Shadow 2 holster OWB offers open carry convenience and is suitable for range use or competitive shooting. Outside-the-waistband models provide fast draws and increased comfort due to reduced contact with the body. Look for paddle or belt loop designs with molded contours for a secure fit.
Shoulder Holsters
A CZ Shadow 2 shoulder holster is a practical choice for deep concealment or seated carry. These holsters distribute weight across the shoulders, reducing waistband pressure. Select adjustable harness systems with balanced magazine pouches for all-day comfort.
Duty Holsters
A CZ Shadow 2 duty holster is built for professional use, emphasizing security and durability. These holsters feature active retention systems, rugged construction, and secure mounting platforms. Perfect for law enforcement, range instructors, or competitive shooters needing reliable, secure carry.
For open carry, security matters just as much as draw speed, which is why many Shadow 2 users prefer duty holsters with Level 2 or Level 3 retention. Level 2 retention adds an active locking mechanism on top of the molded fit, helping keep the pistol in place during movement or physical contact. Level 3 retention goes even further, combining multiple safeguards to prevent unauthorized access while still allowing a trained draw stroke. With the right duty rig, your CZ Shadow 2 stays locked in when it has to—and ready to clear leather the moment you need it.
Holster With Light
Light-bearing holsters designed for the CZ Shadow 2 accommodate tactical attachments like weapon lights or lasers. The CZ Shadow 2 holster with light ensures secure retention for both the firearm and accessory, available in OWB or duty configurations.
Material Options for CZ Shadow 2 Holsters
CZ Shadow 2 Leather Holsters
Made from high-quality leather, these holsters deliver a glove-like fit and excellent durability. They age beautifully, becoming even more comfortable with time.
CZ Shadow 2 Kydex Holsters
Designed for durability and speed, Kydex holsters retain their shape and secure your firearm with a distinct click. They're perfect for tactical use and harsh conditions.
CZ Shadow 2 Nylon Holsters

Waste of money. Threw the holster away. Holster was too small for firearm. Did what i could to break it in, but couldn't complete the break-in process described with the holster because the firearm would not fit in the holster, even with forceful attempts, which is a necessary step for the break-in process.
