Racer377 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I've done a search and pored over the CZ-custom site and not found a definitive answer. The only difference I'm seeing is the adjustable sight on the T, and one less magazine. (aside from the obvious dustcover difference) Is that it? What am I missing?

burningsquirrels Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 the short dust cover maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer377 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Thank you, Captain Obvious! (I kid, I kid) But seriously is the dust cover, adj. sight and 1 less mag the extent of the differences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeeZer Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 T- stands for Two Tone, there is 75 Shadow that is all black. 75 Shadow is built on 75SA frame and uses slightly different looking from SP-01 slide; it says 'CZ 75 Shadow' as opposed to 'CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow'.. If you compare 75 Shadow with factory stock SP-01 Shadow, then all 75 Shadows also come with Comp hammer, re-sprung, extended firing pin etc, read the description: http://www.cz-usa.com/products/view/75shadowT. 'T' seems to come with rubber grips as opposed to 75 Shadow in black comes with plastic panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer377 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 FTR, I'm comparing this http://czcustom.com/cz75shadowtsadablk.aspx (I was 90% sure that the T designation is for adjustable rear sights) to this http://czcustom.com/CZ-75-SP01-SHADOW-PolyCoat-9mm.aspx I do see that the 75 Shadow T does have the extended firing pin, whereas the SP01 Shadow does not.

Strick Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 The "T" is for the adjustable rear sight (black or duo-tone). The difference in the SP01 and 75 shadow is in the frame. Obviously no dustcover on the 75 but the beavertail is more upswept on the SP01 and the trigger is undercut. Other than that they are the same gun just a little less wight.

CeeZer Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I think you may be right - "T" - for Target, meaning adj.rear sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racer377 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 so the this: "SP01 Shadow is fitted with a newly redesigned hammer originating from the CZ 75 Champion. This hammer is slightly wider and has modified sear engagement for smoother release and more positive ignition" is not the same as the competition hammer?

justaute Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Those hammers are not the same, and you can see the difference in their shapes. I've read that there is a slight weight difference. However, in the hands of CZ experts, the performance of these hammers are comparable -- at least that's what I have heard. so the this: "SP01 Shadow is fitted with a newly redesigned hammer originating from the CZ 75 Champion. This hammer is slightly wider and has modified sear engagement for smoother release and more positive ignition" is not the same as the competition hammer?
