I have finally made two trips to the range with my new CZ sp01. What a great shooter it is! The details:
The first trip I made this week tuesday. I shot it and did mediocre at best. No real groupings, I was dissapointed. I know it was me, and not the gun. So when I got home last night, I dry fired it with the snap caps it came with. I must have dry fired it 500 times. I noticed that I was pulling the trigger completely wrong. The barrel tended to nose dive near the end of the pull. I corrected everything and dry fired until I could do a DA pull perfect for 30 times in a row.
I went to the range today, and the first thing I did was dry fire it at the target so I could really get things down. I loaded it up, and within 50 rounds I was able to shoot a one hole 2.75 inch group at what was probably around 10 yards (maybe a little bit more or less). I had 3 flyers up 1 inch from the hole on the target, that I didn't count because that was my error ( I pushed the gun up, I corrected it and it didn't happen again) . Next time I go I am going to have to go out further to really test it That was SA shooting, in DA shooting I managed around a 3.5 inch group (not bad, but the DA trigger pull is heavy).
Now, the good and the bad:
Good:
The trigger is silky smooth in SA, and pretty decent in DA
Nice Mag capacity
It fits my hand better then any other gun I have ever held
Recoil, whats that? This thing is a cream puff!
It came with night sights, and they work really well.
Price, I paid under 500 out the door tax backround check and a box of ammo
It looks very attractive
The not so good:
I had a stovepipe the yesterday, as well as today. One each day, possibly the same mag. It was a weird stovepipe however. The brass was caught much like a normal stovepipe, however it also double feeded a round. One was partialy in the chamber and another round was almost stripped off the mag. Winchester white box was used, and there did not appear to be a problem with the brass. I am not to worried about this now, I will shoot another 300 rounds through it and see what happens.
The night sights are good for self defense, however on the range they were very hard to see with the lighting that was there. I really couldn't make out the front dot, so I mearly aligned the front sight blade with the rear, and shot without paying any attention to where the dot was. For range use I prefer white dot sights.
Shooting the SP01 makes me weak in the stomach with anticipation. I say that because I can't wait to take its bigger brother to the range, the 97b I have yet to shoot it, the bushmaster m4a3 I bought, or the 22lr conversion for the sp01. Tomorrow I shal fit the 22lr conversion to the sp01. It will be sweet to shoot 500 rounds for under 10$
