Stafford Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) Looking for a back-up competition pistol. I have a Shadow 2 on the way for USPSA. And I want to get something for IDPA which I don’t shoot as much. There is a $200 difference in price between the SP01 and the P120. I might shoot 6-7 IDPA local matches a year so this pistol would be a range gun as much as anything. And it would be my back-up to my Shadow 2 for USPSA. All of the reviews seem positive for the P120. I can get either one. And I will likely add sights, grips, and trigger work as long term projects for the pistol.

Stafford Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Just looking for opinions between the two. No specific question. I can get either, so I guess the CZ is the way to go. If I don’t like it for some reason, it will probably hold more value for resale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsessiveshooter Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Both are fantastic and you can do everything to the p120 that you can to the CZ, except get an aftermarket safety. Resale will be better with the CZ, and the finish will be a bit more durable. I'd say the machining is slightly better on the Tristar. Whenever I handle my p120 I'm amazed at how well-fitted and smooth it is. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.45 ACP nut Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 It is easier to find aftermarket parts for the CZ. The main difference I found was the TriStar had sharper edges on the frame around the trigger guard that dug into my middle finger. I still own my CZ, someone else now owns the P120.

Beef15 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I think the P120 is very nice for the money, add a few springs and the trigger improves greatly. I know a lot of CZ parts fit, not sure which don't, but there aren't really any replacement parts available, which is a thing in a high round count role. Buying again, I'd probably go CZ.

Stafford Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) I decided to go with the SP-01. From what I read, the trigger reach may be a bit longer on the P-120. And the beaver tail may be a bit better on the CZ. Not a lot of differences though. A Tristar C100 may be in my future.
