The Shadow Systems CR920 Elite 9mm with the black barrel is an ultra-concealable subcompact built to shoot like a full-size pistol (brand part no. SS-4012). It pairs an optic-ready Elite slide with a green tritium front sight, so the same compact package covers daily carry with iron sights or with a micro red dot. A match-grade 3.41-inch spiral-fluted barrel sits under a 17-4 stainless steel slide, and the textured polymer frame gives the grip real bite without abrading clothing. This version ships with one extended 13-round magazine and one flush 10-round magazine, letting you pick the carry profile that suits the day. It is a natural fit for shooters who want a thin, deep-concealment 9mm that still handles like something bigger.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9mm, the standard carry cartridge, in a pistol small enough to disappear under a T-shirt.
• Capacity is 13+1 with the extended magazine and 10+1 with the flush magazine, and the box includes one of each.
• The match-grade, conventionally rifled barrel is 3.41 inches long and spiral-fluted, which keeps the slide short for concealment.
• The barrel finish is black nitride, one of the two barrel finishes offered on the CR920 Elite, with bronze as the other.
• The Elite slide is cut for multiple red-dot footprints such as the Shield RMS and Holosun 507K, so most micro optics mount directly without an adapter plate.
• A green tritium front sight pairs with a blacked-out serrated steel rear for a usable picture in low light.
• The slide is 17-4 stainless steel with directional front and rear serrations plus topside serrations and a weight-saving window cut.
• The trigger is a drop-safe flat-faced design with a 4.5 to 5.0 pound pull and a crisp, tactile reset for consistent shots.
• The frame is textured polymer with an aggressive wrap-around grip pattern, and a stainless steel guide rod rides inside it.
• Overall length is 6.37 inches and unloaded weight is 17.8 ounces, a footprint that fits holsters made for the G43X MOS and G48 MOS.
