sinker77 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Are we going to be able to buy a "standard" sp-01 shadow or only a custom or accu shadow? I would like a shadow but do not want to spend the extra $400+ for a custom version without first trying a regular shadow. Do they not have to import shadows to make custom or accu shadows? Is the demand so high for the custom guns there is no reason to sell them as stock? I guess I should have bought a shadow rail when they were available even though they weren't marked the same as a SP-01. Thanks to anyone that can give some insight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 They were exactly the same gun. Just different print on the slide. They can make more off the custom. At least that's the common belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinka Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Custom comes with the trigger work (pretty sure that is around $300) may have a better hammer also. If you don't mind tinkering you can do the trigger work yourself. I have a standard railed shadow and have put a new disconnector, hammer, and springs in it. Even if you bought the custom you would end up changing some of the parts, very good starter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bthoefer Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Standard non shadow SP-01s are easier to get ahold of that a shadow. I would love to get my hands on a shadow that has not been tuned. SP-01s have been available on and off a couple times this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsons1480 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 It doesn't even appear to be a catalog item at this time. It would be nice to be able to get one and do your own trigger job though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do get CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow, ditto Duotone, ditto Australia, ditto Orange (2012) tho. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trgt Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I bought a stock SP-01 Shadow from CZ Custom about November 2013. Just after that, it disappeared from CZ-USA's online site for 2014, but didn't get moved to the discontinued section on their site. And I haven't seen anyone U.S. have stock since then until that batch of 'Shadow' roll marked SP-01 Shadows that CZ Custom just had. My guess was that they all go to CZ Custom and Automatic Accuracy to get turned into custom builds or Accu-Shadows? Those would be the two places I'd start as far as looking for a new unmodified one, seeing if they'd let you get on a wait list or if any free up / extra from allocation for custom builds, assuming they get complete ones and not parts.

nmbpman Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I never could find one new, all the ones I was seeing, which was rare, were all used. So I decided to buy a standard SP-01 and started upgrading the action and all the other personal preference type items, sights, grips, etc. The trigger turned out great by following the "professor atlas" guide. Even though it has the FPB I'm extremely happy on how much better it feels. It gave me a chance to really get know my new CZ. I have never done a CZ trigger job and I'm also really picky on the way a trigger feels, to me, the upgrade feels like it should have been more expensive than it really cost.

andrewtac Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Look in the classifieds on here. Since I went CZ a month ago I think I have seen three or four shadows on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trgt Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Look in the classifieds on here. Since I went CZ a month ago I think I have seen three or four shadows on here. I dunno - I think I've seen one SP-01 Shadow that was stock / $800, and it sold in about 1/2 hour. The others are either some variant of Custom or Target or Accu-Shadow ($1300-1700+), or just plain CZ75 Shadow (short dust cover) which is great but not as desirable for USPSA vs long dustcover SP-01 Shadow. But could be I haven't been watching close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewtac Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 you are correct, I remember seeing several shadows, some modified and some not. All but I think one were at least a fair deal, with some being a good deal. Look in the classifieds on here. Since I went CZ a month ago I think I have seen three or four shadows on here.

teros135 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Not any more - gone! Hard to find because most of them go into the (higher-dollar) SP01 Shadow Custom 2014s, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinker77 Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks eerw for posting that they were available even though I didn't see it in time to snag one. I hope it helped forum members get one. Any idea on what availability will be for the coming year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
