The CZ 75 SP-01 is the first full size handgun (4.72” bbl) from CZ to feature the improved manufacturing technology and ergonomics of the NATO-approved CZ 75 Compact P-01 model. Featuring an integral 1913 accessory rail on the dust cover, rubber grip panels, and CZ’s corrosion resistant black polycoat finish, the SP-01 is the newest model to join the family of pistols based on the CZ 75 (SA/DA) platform. Borrowing from the improved grip geometry of the compact P-01, the SP-01 utilizes an extended beavertail to protect shooter’s strong hand as well as allowing for a deeper and more secure grip. The new grip geometry, checkering in key areas on the front and back straps, and redistribution of mass provided by the accessory rail noticeably decrease the perceived recoil from previous models and allows for more rapid target acquisition and transition.
The SP-01 was designed as a military and law enforcement duty sidearm. The new model is currently in use by security forces fighting the war on terrorism. Thanks to its exceptional accuracy and superior handling characteristics, the CZ 75 SP-01 has also found supporters in the field of sport and target shooting. Its list of users on the competition circuit include World Champions Adam Tyc and Angus Hobdell (1st and 3rd place respectively in 2005‘s IPSC championship, World Shoot XIV).
Last year I made the leap and purchased a CZ75BD. This being my first CZ, I was excited to put it through "it's paces". While I found the pistol to be very accurate, I had a major problem with the fire control system. About forty percent of the time, when the hammer was at full cock and I pulled the trigger, it would fall to half cock. I put about 200 rounds through it, thinking the pistol just needed breaking in. Unfortunately, this didn't help. I contacted CZ customer service and arranged for warranty service. The pistol was sent to CZ and much to my surprise and chagrin, I received a pistol less than two weeks later. I inspected the pistol and found the serial number on the pistol I received to be different from the serial number on the pistol I sent for repair. They had sent me a brand new CZ75BD! I have put just over 3000 round through the weapon and it runs great! It's more accurate than I can shoot, it's reliable and a joy to drive. I am now looking to purchase an SP-01. Thank you for a great product and superb customer service.
In 2008 I contacted Angus and his staff at the CZ custom shop and ordered a SP-01 custom. At the time I was heavily involved in IDPA and wanted a gun built for me. I wanted a gun that was fast, pointed naturally, and fit my hand. At the time I was shooting with a young man who had a CZ 75. I fell in love with his pistol the first time I shot it. About that time I moved and joined another IDPA club that held night matches so an integrated rail was a must. The SP-01 fit this bill. I placed the order with Angus and one month and $1100 later I had my new pistol. I have been out of competitive shooting for about three years now but this pistol is still my baby. I love this pistol. This pistol feels good in my hand (better than my 1911 in fact), it is accurate, and due to the weight and low profile slide muzzle flip is minimal. I have never had a malfucntion and I have fired several thousands of rounds through this gun. The sights are outstanding and built to facilitate quick target acquisition. In my opinion the CZ 75 family of pistols are the best pistols on the market. Mine was worth every penny spent. Angus and his staff are outstanding. CZ will be my choice for any future pistol purchases.
Just got the sp01 shadow. It is a awesome gun. I have had a cz97 b for years and love it so I looked to cz for a 9 and glad I did. I now have a new favorite. It is a pure pleasure to shoot, and the ergonomics are perfect. Went to the range with a couple of glock guys and they tried it a few times they sheepishly admitted it was awesome. Thank you CZ for such a gear gun!
Cz is best of the best. I love 'em.
This pistol is probably the best firearm I own. The attached picture is a target that my son was shooting with a .22 rifle at 20 yards so I thought i'll see if I could get close to center mass and 9 rounds later all are in the 9 ring and i'm standing there very impressed. This pistol shoots far better than I ever could and such a pleasure to shoot. I was a die hard Glock fan but because the SP-01 handled so well I will be purchasing a SP-01 Phantom for carry.
I can't say enough good things about the amazing quality and sweetness of CZ firearms, and the almost unbelievable service that we as CZ-USA customers receive from this company. I own 3 CZ pistols (83, 75, and RAMI P), and every one of them is an absolute winner. And when my RAMI needed service, the people at CZ had it back in my hands (and on the range) in less than 2 weeks. Great people, wonderful weapons, all from a company who truly knows their stuff. I'm a customer for life!
