Shadow Systems Firearms

About Shadow Systems

Shadow Systems was founded in 2016 by Trevor Roe in Plano, Texas, with a mission to provide the world's most uncompromising everyday use firearm for any mission requirement.

The company was established by Trevor Roe, a West Point graduate, former U.S. Army Infantry Officer, and combat veteran who became the youngest-ever Master in USPSA's Limited division at age 15.

Shadow Systems began in the aftermarket parts arena before evolving into complete pistol manufacturing with state-of-the-art in-house production capabilities.

The company has made significant impact on the firearms industry by bringing custom-grade features to production pistols at competitive pricing and setting new standards for striker-fired pistol performance.

Today, Shadow Systems operates from their advanced manufacturing facility in Plano, Texas, where they produce all components in-house and serve over 300 U.S. law enforcement agencies nationwide.
