Title: CZ SP-01 -- 2 vs 3 rails
Post by: Fiesta Red on July 14, 2020, 11:44:56 PM

I'm new to CZs.  Just bought my P-01 about a month ago.

I've noticed that some SP-01s have 2 rails and some have 3.  The website shows a 2 rail model.  I also know the Tactical version has 3 rails and a decocker, but I've seen SP-01s with a manual safety and 3 rails.  Are the newer versions the ones with 3 rails or 2?

Thanks!

I am assuming "rails" = the number of slots (sic) on the rail at the dust cover.  I have a SP-01 Tactical, born year "17" with three slots on the rail.

Hope that helps.

Yes, the tactical has three spaces/set of rails.  I'm seeing the standard, non-tactical safety model with both 2 and 3 rails/spaces.  Here's a pic off the CZ website, followed by one for sale on a website.  Different amount of rails.

Yeah, maybe someone with the Safety model will chime in.  I only have the Tactical and it has three slots.

I think it is just a rolling change. The SP-01 came out first and then the Tac. So, they probably changed to 3 slots.

Thank you to everyone who replied.  I just picked up an SP-01 over the weekend.  3 rails.  Now for the 10 day DROS wait.  Ugh

Realistically... none.

If you have a specific attachment, you might have different positions depending on which slot you lock it in. Let’s say you run a TLR-7A with different keys among 1913 cuts; you could tweak how close you are positioned from the trigger guard. But in reality, it is not going to make much of a difference.

Your right about that, with the TRL7 it can be a liitle bit of a reach to hit the switch on a 2 slot rail. Never thought about it till I tried putting it on a different gun.
