SP-01 what is it?
« on: September 03, 2007, 02:18:37 AM »
OK, I'll admit I'm new to this board, to CZ's in general and
SP-01's in particular.  My local gun club holds USPSA/IPSC and I'm going to try my hand in the Super Senior category.  I've seen several threads about various types of SP-01's.  The CZ home page shows the gun I' m getting as a CZ SP-01 CUSTOM whereas the CZ 2007 PDF catelog calls it a  CZ75 SP-01 SHADOW.  These are the same gun, yes?  I've already spoken to Angus at the Custom Shop and will be ordering it by the end of this month.  Any comments, info, etc. will be appreciated.

They are essentially the same gun.

The CZ Custom Shop is as it says, an SP-01 custom tweaked by the CA-USA shop (or Angus, not 100% sure which). The Shadow is built by CZ-UB, by their custom shop, to Angus' specs, and, as such, is imported that way.
