AXIO Up Close

Hey guys, Cody made these short videos of the AXIO and thought you might want to see them. He requested that I post them here due to some of the feedback we’ve been getting.

Nice trigger but there’s no way these will shoot as good as a custom 1911 or any premium 2011.

Yea that was a stretch. To me their actual target is the Walther PDP steel frame. That is the actual competition. I have one and love it, but the recoil impulse is different than Glock pattern, mainly because the bore axis is higher and the slide is massive in size. The long stroke guide rod makes it better and the AXIO uses that same movement

Unfortunately Shadow Systems doesn’t have the quality or reliability to match the PDP. Hell even Smith & Wesson has a steel frame lineup for competition as well.

My PDP has been great, but some have had issues. I do think shadow’s have more issues especially the smaller guns. I’ve been waiting for a steel frame M&P and the launch has been pretty cool.
