hoghunter Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Sorry to use the BE forum to help me shop, but finding a CZ anywhere is darn near impossible. I had every intention of getting a SP-01 Shadow (the one CZ Custom sells) but I need a dose of reality from the team here. Kicked around the thought of doing some IDPA since my local club started a monthly IDPA shoot. I thought I read the SP-01 Shadow may not make the weight cut. What I'm looking for is a nice home defense (w/TLR-1 on the rail which eliminates a CZ75), target, possible event, all around gun. I have also suddenly become a bit of a trigger snob for some reason. To the experts here, what is the best option for what I am looking for? I can't find any CZ locally to hold and pull the trigger on so its basically order sight unseen so I need to rely on you guys for your expertise. What I'm faced with: Get the base gun (which model?), base gun with trigger job from CZ Custom, or just get the tricked out version? Thanks for any help and again I apologize for using this forum for shopping advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burningsquirrels Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Having a rail is what puts you at or just over the limit. Talk to Stuart about getting you a shadow custom built to specifically met idpa weight with a rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoghunter Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thanks. I hear Stuart's name being brought up a lot. Calling him and talking about it is likley the best advice as he is clearly the expert on all things CZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 SP01s are overweight for IDPA out of the box. Some parts changes are needed. Grips, slidestop, mag brake, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 One of my pals owns a half-dozen stock CZ-75s including an SP01 Shadow. All of them have a heavy DA pull and creepy SA release that's far worse than my 1911 or M&P with Apex sear and striker block. Ordering a tuned CZ-75 from the custom shot was a no-brainer for me when the time came to get one. I trust that it will be all that when it arrives next month.

smoothdraw Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Tuning CZ 75 SP01's to lighten and smooth the DA and SA specially the shadow is not that hard. Of course if you want to tune it the best as possible, Stuart, Shay Akai, CZ Custom and Matt Mink custom work will be the best route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
