A question about CZs

[MaterDei]

I prefer the original.

Me too.

Actually, the HP had very little to do with the CZ, but that is a nice pistola.

Bringing one back from the dead, but since a) I started the thread and b) it follows the same thought, I figured just add on.

Anyone know of a gunshop in the greater Houston area that carries CZ variations, particularly the 75B, 75SA and 85? For that matter, if they have the Sarilaz (sic) or the Armalite for comparison, that would be a bonus.

I called Carters (Pasadena) this afternoon. They will usually have a 75B in the case, almost always an Armalite, but they do not carry the 75SA.

I'm not quite in a buyers market, yet, but I want to hold & compare these three CZ models side-by-side.

Thanks,

Please correct me if I am wrong anybody, but I have heard that the CZ SP-01 with it's deeper backstrap allows for a shorter reach to trigger. I too have small hands and short reach. I am waiting to "try" a SP-01 to see if it is any better for me.

I couldn't say about shorter but the SP01 is most certainly different. Definitely try before you buy.

That being said, where are you? I am certain that if there are any members close to you with an SP01, they'd most likely be delighted to let you try it out.

I'm in the Lake Houston area...NE side of Houston...

MaterDei shows he really doesn't know anything about CZ's!

What can I say? We're trying to educate people here!

The SP-01 is a slightly different grip as mentioned, a slightly deeper backstrap and IMO a slight improvement on the original grip, which is nearly perfect - IMO. The SP-01 might just be the perfect grip shape.
