Default New Toy, CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow Custom, 9 mm

Direct from the CZ Custom Shop in Arizona.

Sorry about the bad pictures but dodging the rain and wind outside. I cleaned it and there is still oil draining from it.

Hand tuned by the great CZ gunsmiths, Has a 3.13 oz SA trigger and 7.13 oz DA. Smooooth! Full rail. Fiber optic front, polished parts, stainless guide rod, Aluminum grips .

Now if I can only shoot like the provided test target.

I was looking at one real close (that one had a threaded barrel) when I found the (gasp) G17. The glock was 150 less so I got it...

EDIT: SEE POST 5 FOR CORRECTION OF STUPID ERROR!!!

Which G17? A standard? A regular G17 should be a lot, lot less than this gun.

I am a big CZ fan and own several (pistols and rifles). CZ's are shooting machines! Way accurate - even out of the box stock. Yours is a beauty. I'm sure you will shoot it great. Please post up a range report when you've had the chance to run it out at the range.

BTW, my CZ 75b stainless is my favorite full size 9mm. It will out shoot any 9mm in the safe.

CORRECTION: MY MISTAKE!! It wasn't one of the custom jobbies I was looking at! Similar gun though! I have not seen one from the custom shop. Nice find! Guess I oughta stick to talking about guns I know!

I ordered the Single-action-only version of that gun in 40 S&W awhile back, I was told the wait was four months, and that seems like a really long time ago! I think the CZ's may be one of the most underrated brands out there.

I do too. Do not think they are under rated just not known as they do not advertise very much.CZ has been under the radar for a long time. A few years ago they were even a better deal. They have slowly raised their prices. Their long guns might even be better than their handguns. Some of the best shooting rifles, with real walnut stocks right out of the box.

No big deal. The regular CZ 75 is a fine gun and is probably just as accurate as this one. This is the same gun pretty much, just been tuned up. I prefer metal guns with hammers.

My other CZ's have the decocker which I prefer. This is just a range gun so I did not get that version. The CZ and Browning HP have similar barrel and lock up and both have inside rails which help in accuracy.

No, I am on the other coast. I really like it over there. In the High School years living in Clearwater we used to go over there a lot. I still prefer the Atlantic to the Gulf.

Mrs Rule and I used to go over and tour the whole area driving A1A.

Cool, Ive lived on both coasts as well and prefer it here on the east. You folks do have thee best sunsets and sea food, but I'll still take the Atlantic side. Next time you and the Mrs come over our way, you must check out the Indian River County out Door Gun Range. SR 60 due east to I95 and 1 exit north to 156 and then maybe 1/2 mile in. Let me know if you come over, I'll steer you in the direction of good eats etc.

If you never been to the Navy Seal Museum its awesome!!!!
