Mike, The CZ 75 shadows run from $1700 to $1100 this firearm is priced right in the middle. A lot has to do with inventory. They all have their own special touch. This one is less then the all black model.

From Buds "Our website updates every 20 minutes, 24/7, with our current inventory and replacement cost. We do not price our guns manually based on our cost in each, rather we use a live download from manufacturers and distributors to set our price based on our current replacement cost. As our cost changes, the corresponding website price of each make/model will change up/down accordingly. Although our profit margin remains unchanged, our advertised prices will change frequently, sometimes several times per day."

Mike, this is simply a "Stock Number" situation. Buds prices are tied directly to stock level which often makes ordinarily similar/same price firearms vary so greatly in price. "Learn Buds "Stock Level" game and you can save lots of $$.

The Shadow Orange is a top end USPSA/IPSC Production Division pistol that is hand fitted and customized by the CZ Custom Shop in Mesa, Az then shipped to CZ USA who distributes them. The Shadow 2 you have listed is a standard mass produced pistol with no hand fitting.

CZ and CZ Custom both make variations of the "Shadow." The one you asked about is the Shadow 2 which is a production model from CZ along with the basic Shadow. The SP-01 Shadow Orange, AccuShadow, Bull Shadow, and Shadow Custom are all different models.
