The Shadow Systems War Poet CR920 9mm pistol with a black barrel (brand part no. SS4084) brings the War Poet series look to the subcompact CR920 frame. Shadow Systems created the War Poet line with John Lovell’s hand-selected features, and every War Poet model gets aggressively angled serrations front, rear and topside, a weight-balancing window cut and the patented multi-footprint optic cut. The CR920 itself is a slim striker-fired 9mm built to carry, with a 13+1 extended capacity and a green tritium front sight. It suits concealed carry and everyday use for shooters who want a red-dot-ready subcompact.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9mm, a common carry caliber with wide ammunition availability.
• The action is striker-fired, giving one consistent trigger press from the first shot to the last.
• The barrel measures 3.41 inches on the CR920 platform, keeping the subcompact slide short and easy to conceal.
• Capacity is 13+1 with the extended magazine, and a flush-fit 10-round magazine also rides along for lower-profile carry.
• The slide is cut for most mini red-dot optics with the patented multi-footprint direct-mount cut, so many optics mount without adapter plates.
• The sights are a green tritium front with a black serrated rear, a combination that stays visible in low light.
• The trigger is a flat-faced, drop-safe design with a 4.5 to 5.0 lb pull and a crisp, tactile reset.
• The War Poet slide carries angled serrations front, rear and topside plus a window cut, which speeds slide manipulation and trims reciprocating weight.
• The barrel finish is black, which separates this War Poet CR920 from other finishes in the line.
• No external manual safety is fitted, so the pistol relies on its trigger safety and a deliberate trigger press.
