The War Poet Tour Shadow Systems Booth

Is the MR920 War Poet actually "better," or did John Lovell just trick us all into buying a pistol that looks like it belongs in a sleek dystopian action movie?

I hit the Shadow Systems booth at SHOT Show 2026 to find out. Joining me is Cody from Shadow Systems, the man tasked with explaining why your wallet feels lighter every time a "War Poet" is mentioned. We’re tearing into the intricacies of the MR920 War Poet—the love child of Shadow Systems engineering and the Warrior Poet Society’s tactical philosophy—and comparing it to the brand new MR920 LE model I’ve currently got on the bench back at the shop.

Is the "LE" just the War Poet’s more serious, less-flashy cousin? Does the red trigger safety on the Poet actually make it faster, or just cooler in photos? We’re diving into slide serrations, weight-balancing window cuts, and whether you actually need a threaded barrel to survive your local range trip.

A massive, loud, and slightly intrusive thank you to Cody for letting me grill him at the booth. If you want to know if you're paying for performance or just really high-end branding, this 5-minute-deep dive is your answer.
