Had this posted over at cetmerifles, so i thought i'd put it up here, but this time with a range report. A few weeks ago i picked up a CZ75 SP-01. DA/SA, 9mm, 19+1 rounds, night sights. I opted for the manual safety model rather than the tactical model which offers a decocker.

So far i've only ran about 250 rounds through it, and it went through without a hiccup. no FTF, FTE, stovepiping,etc. gun runs smooth. The balance and ergonomics on the pistol are excellent, and with the full length dust cover and tactical rail, it adds a bit more weight out front that aids in reducing muzzle flip.

Accuracy is exellent, these targets were shot with aimed rapid fire, basically as fast as i could line up the sights and squeeze the trigger. Most of my groups today were hitting a bit low and left, but i think that is me yanking the trigger a little. SA trigger pull breaks crisply, but there is a bit of creep in the trigger before it breaks. I haven't shot it off of a rest yet, but i'm fairly confident that the gun is more accurate than i am.

I tried running a mag or two with double taps, at first my two shots were pretty spaced out, but towards the last of the first mag i shot this way, they grew closer together as i got used to the trigger.

Here's one showing the brass leaving the gun, you can also see another piece of brass around my right knee.

So far I'd have to say thatit is the best $500 i've ever spent on a pistol. The more i shoot it, the more i love it. Hopefully i'll have a set of Houge rubber grips on it by the middle of the week.

I love my CZ75. Of all the handguns I have, I have the most confidence in it. It fits my hand like it was custom made. Good looking gun, thanks for the pics.

I like it. Fingered a couple myself and I know what you mean. I had four CZ's at one point. Down to one now.

Is that stainless? 75 or 85?

No, not stainless. It is a Satin Nickel 75B 9mm. They do make a stainless now. The stainless is too pimpish for my taste. The way CZ moves though, they may already have a subdued stainless. I have trouble keeping up with their design changes and new models. But I do love their pistols.

I almost went with a stainless 75, but went with the SP-01. I was a little bummed to find out that the CrimsonTrace lasergrips for the 75 won't work with the SP-01 due to the ambidextrous safety. No problem, that's what the rail is for.
