I have a SP-01 Shadow and just love it: smooth trigger, F.O. sights and perfectly fits my hand.
Oh, and very accurate tho

WOW Squirrels........
What a collection!! Great pictures. Been looking at a CZ 75 on Guns America. Trying to figure out how to get a third mortgage on the house and get the wife a second job. By the way, off the subject but what camera are you using. Those pics are very high quality stuff!!

These are superb pistols. I shoot an SP-01 Tactical in USPSA Production division and I love it. It's a sizable pistol with enough weight to damp recoil (plus it's a 9mm, so very comfortable shooting).
Mine has never malfunctioned with either ball or JHP. Note: it does favor hot 124 gr ammo -- the stock recoil spring is heavy, designed for military +P loads. It'll work with wussy 115 gr WWB or other commercial stuff, but ejection can be weak. The brass clears the gun but it might bonk your head or arm.
Ergonomics are excellent. Though it's a big pistol, the grip area is not fat or blocky. Fits my hand perfectly and the sights align naturally to my eye when I lift the pistol. Also, CZs have a low bore axis, like 1911s and Glocks. This aids fast shot recovery and accuracy. For me, a SIG (very high bore axis) feels clumsy compared to the SP-01. Likewise, a Glock (awkwardly angled, blocky grip) makes me feel like I'm fighting the pistol rather than it complementing me.
The SP-01 is scary accurate. In competition I almost feel like I'm wielding a laser pointer or a paintbrush. If I slow down just a half-second to take a precision shot (e.g., an A-zone head shot on a target that's heavily occluded by cover or by a "no-shoot"), that bullet will go where I need it to go.
The sights are prominent and clear -- better than earlier CZ designs.
It is also a great nightstand/ home defense gun. 18+1 capacity (I load the mags to 18 and call it good), night sights, front rail for attaching a Surefire if that's your game. I stuff mine full of Speer Gold Dot 124 gr JHP+P law enforcement loads, which are a piece of cake to shoot in this pistol.
In short, the SP-01 Tactical rocks for action pistol competition, range fun, and home defense -- everything but carry, really (it's too big). Fortunately, CZ also makes an excellent 9mm carry pistol -- the P-01...

Well... one downside might be that you will get spoiled on CZ's and a lot of your other guns might not get fired very much!
Steve Pearson - sorry to hear about the terrible trigger on your CZ! They are usually only okay from the factory, but they can be made excellent with a little work (those with a safety anyway, because those are the only ones I've done so far). Don't give up on it yet, yours is the exception for sure. I've never heard "worst trigger on a handgun" about a CZ-75 until now!

A little up date on this thread..........Ok you guys win. I went to the gun shop today and picked up my new CZ 75 SP-01 Tactical. Looking forward to trying it out. It will be interesting to see how it compares at the range to my current favorite range gun. A Glock 34 with a KKM aftermarket barrel.

i've shot both. they're both hard to beat pistols. it comes down to ergos and personal preference at that point.
