I chose steel but only because aluminum wasn't a choice, which is what the SP-01 is.

It's another steel vs plastic thread! Maybe somebody will manage to work in 9MM vs .45 somewhere.

 

[Dick1911]

I, too, chose steel.

Maybe somebody will manage to work in 9MM vs .45 somewhere

BTW, wouldn't this have a little more stopping power in 45 cal?

 

[azhunter12]

I see that they are copying S&W on the backstrap idea.

BTW I would go for a metal frame too.

 

[old_ironsights]

To answer your question, yes I would buy it. 28oz is an excellent weight for the size.

I've never had a CZ, steel or polymer, that gave me the least bit of trouble.

 

[DrDremel]

I'll buy two and a compact version as well.

It is not intended to be a debate. only for information as if this could sell in the US.

 

[belus]

I said steel, mostly because I find the heft to be an attractive part of the pistol and not because I distrust polymer guns.

I don't CCW, however if I did I would probably chose the RAMI for it's thinness, light weight alloy and safety over decocker.

 

[bikerdoc]

nothing wrong with this gun, I just prefer steel, therefor I carry the 75 compact

 

[mokin]

What do you guys mean, steel vs. plastic? What about how much it costs?

 

[rellascout]

I prefer the CZ Custom Shop Pistol.

or the Shadow

 

[Treo]

I don't know that I'd go out of my way to buy it but I'd trust the quality of the gun W/ my life. I've NEVER seen a bad CZ product

 

[rellascout]

Ever seen a CZ100 B?

It does go bang everytime but it is not a good pistol.

 

[P. Plainsman]

No to your question.

Steel frame CZs yes, aluminum CZs yes, polymer no.

If I want a polymer pistol I'll go S&W or Glock. I like CZ precisely because of their classy, more traditional construction (which includes metal frames), while still being tough, practical fighting pistols.

 

[rellascout]

Plainsman I agree 100%

CZs market is the all steel pistol market. They are very old school in that way.

They need to continue to do that well not move into things they are not good at.

 

[equitytrader]

Yes, I think it would. I also think the CZ 110 would sell like mad in the U.S. but for some reason they don't import that model in, just the 100. I had a chance to handle a 100 once and it was great, that deal on the top for racking the slide one-handed worked extremely well, I thought it would be a gimmick.

 

[LoadedDrum]

If they had made it with a safety instead of a decocker I would have waited for it. I am picking up my second steel SP01 soon.

 

[1SOW]

Steel. I need the weight for double taps. The SP01 is even better at that due to more steel up front.
rellascout
I am jealous. That Hobdell SP01 is purrfect.

 

[ClickClickD'oh]

Ever seen a CZ100 B?

Yes I happen to have one.

Worst pistol I own... and I'm a big CZ fan.

Have a RAMI-P. Nothing wrong at all with a well done poly CZ.

Make one of them thar phantoms thingies in .40 and I'd surely pick one up.

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

I most certainly would, i prefer steel in guns but given its intended purpose it does seem slightly more practical.

 

[modifiedbrowning]

I would buy one one. I've been eyeing the SP-01 for a while.

It does go bang everytime but it is not a good pistol.

rellascout and ClickClickD'oh,
The only negatives I have heard about the CZ-100 is that is has a long trigger pull. What else is wrong with it? I have considered buying one in the past many times (especially when they were selling for $350).

 

[Marshall]

I see that they are copying S&W on the backstrap idea.

Actually, Sig had the idea on their polymer framed gun years ago.

 

[ClickClickD'oh]

The only negatives I have heard about the CZ-100 is that is has a long trigger pull. What else is wrong with it?

The long trigger pull isn't so much the problem as the weight of the trigger pull increasing as it travels. Stacks like all get out. And it's serrated.. and it has a tendancy to pinch the side of my finger between the trigger and the trigger guard.

It is reliable, and it is accurate... but it's nothing you can't get in a PA63.

 

[rellascout]

I agree what has already been said about the CZ100 B.

It is a very long trigger that gets heavier at the wrong time. Its like the trigger is working against you.

It ergonomics are just off.

Like I said it fires and is accurate but it is certainly not refined. I would take a Steyr, Used XD or a Used Glock in the $350 price range.

 

[ClickClickD'oh]

Did I mention the slide release is like a thin little razor of metal positioned just at the right point to eat your support hand thumb?
