Trigger problems seem to be a function of the "new" trigger design (which means a change in the sear/hammer interface). Use seems to fix most of these problems.
That said, I've handled some "new" CZs in the past year or two that had nice triggers, but I've not seen or handled an SP-01.
Finish issues? Haven't heard about them. May be something new.

the triggers have been normal factory triggers..on the heavy side and some creep..same as every other brand I have seen..and sights were all close with factory ammo..

The SP01 is a great platform.
I shot nearly all the available double stack modern 9x19 pistols that would fit into USPSA production class and the CZ won hands down.

Both my 75SP01 and 75BD shoot to point of aim with factory ammo. Finish on them is equally fine. Brand new the triggers are both in the needs work category. Neither trigger was better / worse out of the box. For all the gory details on my SP01 trigger theres a thread a bit below this one.

House is in mourning. Oilers lose 3 -1 to Carolina!
Good on the fans in Raleigh to sing O' Canada to honour our country in response to Edmonton fans singing the Star Spangled Banner. Hockey fans are the greatest. Great series, good on Caolina.

I bought my SP01 in august 05. Trigger was rough NIB but after a few 1000rds + a triggerjob it was fine, nothing for a future CZ-customer to worry about and really nothing to turn down a purchase for(!)
Sight allignment is good. With S&B 115gr its dead on @ 25m, and with S&B 124gr its inch lower.
Fit is 100%, Ive shot 49p @ 25meters (onehanded without any support). The finish is 98%, it does have some "spots" in the finish on the dustcover. BUT I DONT CARE! Ive never owned such a reliable pistol before. I sold the King of pistols to get this one, Sig P210. Actually I had two P210, one 9mm and one .30Luger.
My SP01 is as accurate as / or more accurate then the Sigs, it fits my hand better and it holds 11 more rds per magazine. The Sigs had better triggers, thats all. And the CZ is waaaay more reliable than the Sigs! -With new springs, extractor and a reliable magazine the 9mm Sig never ran longer then 300-400rds before a malfunction. My CZ have 5500rds thru it and zero gun-related malfunctions.
My CZ gets 10 out of 10.

I picked up my SP-01 this spring and I am quite pleased with it. To be fair it was my first pistol purchase so I haven't alot of experience.
The trigger does get better with use.(I plan on getting mine done eventually)
The accuracy with mine is pretty close to bang on a 25 yards.
I have had only 1 FTE in almost 1000 rounds.(using re-manufactured ammo)
The finish on mine is great. No flaws or blemishes of any kind. The only thing...there are some "tooling" marks on the underside of the slide rail. Not much of an issue because they are invisible when gun is assembled.
GREAT gun for the price...

the triggers really do suck.
Great gun.
Good thing I have the power custom jig for it.

One pistol has a very nice trigger, while the other had a noticeably heavier, grittier trigger. I started with 15 lbs mainsprings, but went to 17 lbs springs after several misfires with S&B and department ammo with very hard primers. (Many others had misfires with the same ammo during qualification.) Both SP-01s have been lubed and dry-fired equally with snap caps, and both triggers have improved significantly with use, but the difference in trigger pulls between pistols remains.
Sights. One pistol was perfect with aftermarket Meprolight night sights. The other had a POI about 4-5" left at 15 yards. I had to drift the rear sight noticeably off center to the right to compensate. On close inspection, the front sight dovetail is slightly off center to the right. It's not a significant problem, but it's one that I would have preferred not to have.
Overall, I still think that SP-01 is a good pistol for the money. The rail specs have been tweaked and the night sight issue settled. The trigger starts rough but smooths out overtime. I'm not aware of finish problems. The front sight dovetail being off midline may be an issue that CZ needs to address in quality control, but it's not a significant issue for me.

Right now I've got a 40SW 75B that is nicer than any one I've seen yet. Slide to frame is tight, slide to barrel is tight, sear to frame is tight. Very few machining marks. Awesome blueing.
I have seem some that just seem sloppier than usual (though they usually still work fine).
Post by: milcaztra on June 23, 2006, 08:35:55 PM
My favorite CZ is still the 85 Combat, of which I own two, both with buttery smooth triggers. When the SP-01 comes out in .40, I'll definitely opt for the upgraded fire control parts. I hope that the custom work will produce a trigger pull as good as my 85 Combats. If so, the .40 SP-01 may supplant my 1911s, and the only remaining issue will be finding holsters.

I have had 2 other CZ's which have been stellar performers so I know the breed; my 75B SA in .40 was very very accurate and my old pre B 75 in 9mm has an fabulous trigger.

The general rule have been good fit and finish trigger as standard CZ 75, FPB not helping matters, Long hooks etc.
I ahve shot ALL of the guns that pass through, the worst 50 ft group I have evr shot was just over 1". (I have the targets) I normally find that the better the trigger the better the roup (go figure) I have has some with 1 hole under .5" at 50 ft.
The general rule has been that they shoot good, I am not sure that I remember having any failure after changing the factory recoli spring for an 11lb the way we ship the gun.
MAybe I am biased, but 170 odd guns and a bunch of happy customers later........................
You only ahve to read the thread
