Plano, TX – Shadow Systems, the Texas-based pistol maker, has announced the release of their DR920P, a full-size pistol with an integrated compensator. The built-in compensator does not make use of a threaded barrel, which makes it compliant in jurisdictions that have threaded-barrel bans.

The DR920P is built on Shadow Systems’ full-size DR920 frame, packing a full 17+1 capacity. The comp and slide are machined to give a single-piece appearance, while the novel design allows for rapid removal and attachment of the comp for cleaning. The patent-pending integrated compensator aligns automatically without the need for set screws or other friction devices. The DR920P’s front sight is mounted directly on top of the comp, for faster shot-to-shot tracking.

The DR920P, which fits G34 holsters, comes complete with the features that have made Shadow Systems so popular. These features include an aggressively textured frame with interchangeable backstraps that adjust the point of aim, a flat faced trigger, and a match-grade, spiral-fluted barrel. The DR920P is offered with the Elite model slide, which includes front and rear directional serrations, a weight-optimizing window cut, and Shadow Systems’ patented multi-footprint optic system. The optic cut allows for direct-to-slide mounting of most major brands of red dot optics, without the need for intervening plates or adapters. Read more

The pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) Umarex Origin in .25 caliber is new for 2022 the Year of the Airgun Hunter.
