I thought it was one of the nicest pistols I had shot until I picked up a metal frame gun. I then went out that day and ordered a metal frame gun. Since getting my metal frame gun, I may have put 300 rounds through the XDM in the past two years.
If I were you with a shadow 2, I would try to customize that with a trigger job and some other parts. I have shot many worked over Shadow 2s and every time I do, its hard not to buy one.
