A rare batch of SP-01 Compacts available

[jim.c]

Question for all of you that have purchased on of these guns. What was the time frame to receive it? I order one on Monday and haven't received any shipping info to date. I sent an email and asked if they had all the info needed and received a reply stating yes. They also stated it would ship soon. Just anxious and waiting LOL

I ordered mine on Monday as well and they just got everything they needed yesterday. I'm hopeful it will be here next week.  I'm also sure the election has had an  affect on shipping time.

I now have a major problem. I have propogated this batch of SP-01 Compacts because I was excited about them. After shooting mine and dry firing it my issue developed. It fits my hands and grip in a way I can't describe, it's just so good. The weight and balance, all of it just has drawn me in. I see the number of available pistols slowly diminishing and I want another for my future self to always have this wonderful fit and feel. I no longer want to proselytize the SP-01 Compact! I want to delete all related posts so enough remain in stock that I can raise funds and buy another. I've never felt so greedy about a CZ... And while this may sound sarcastic and funny there is a part of me that is totally serious! Mods, consider erasing all posts about these pistols for my better good!

You are not helping my wallet!

Don't worry too much. In over a month, less than 90 have sold.  There are at least 380 or more left out there just on Gunbroker, and even Kentucky Gun Co and Buds both still have a bunch of them, as well. You probably have a couple or few months to get your green beans together for round two.....

You probably do need another, since you have two hands!    No one wants an idle hand.....   I'm the same guy, I believe in having multiples of anything I find inspiring....

I was surprised to find that my shooting friends don't like the extra heft of the steel frame, and tend to prefer the lighter P-01 variant with its alloy frame.  Not me. I may be in the minority, but I prefer the extra weight and the recoil management it provides, as well as its pointing and handling characteristics. The extra ounces don't hamper me for carry purposes, as I've carried full sized 1911's, Sigs and CZ's for a long time.  I've also owned Sigs with alloy frames, where the steel slides began eating at the alloy rails no matter how well the guns were cared for, maintained, serviced, cleaned, and lubed with costly synthetic greases. The alloy also gets dinged and chewed up much easier than steel. So alloy frames just aren't my bag. I have no idea how well the CZ alloy compact frames hold up, but if stainless guide rods start  chewing the frame up inside, I can't imagine how a steel slide stop pin wouldn't begin hammering at the slide stop pin holes in the alloy frames....For me, having the choice, for the money I'll stick with steel...

 Hahahaha Like I said, I mean it. I hope people stop buying these so I can have enough time to amass the funds to get another. So my selfish side hopes you're serious and I am talking you out of it... [emoji48]

I hope you're right! Yeah, these have some heft and I know it's not for everyone... The less people that see these as appealing the better for us steel loving duel wielding CZ'ers.

I'm with you. I currently own 4 all steel hand guns and I like them much better than ploy/plastic guns. I'm now on the hunt for a 97B to round out my CZ collection.  I got a little side tracked with this new SP-01 Compact but I felt like I should get it while I could.

I did the same thing, recently buying a steel CZ75C compact (great sale came up) and the limited production SP-01 Compact. If there's one thing I've learned over many years of collecting firearms, if something appeals to you in a big way and you have the means, go for it, and you will avoid future regret!  Gun models come and go, often never to return in certain configurations, and when something speaks to you it is usually for a reason. Typically the guns I've bought that just made sense to me enough to get me to pull out my wallet with a bit of a sense of urgency at their availability, have turned out to be some of my favorite firearms. "Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda" is not a big part of my vocabulary.  You have to trust your gut on these things, and act on it, if you want to learn and grow with your passions and interests. After collecting CZ's for over 25 years, I'm really glad I finally took this little side-trip detour into the world of the Compacts! I had grossly overlooked them.

Good point.

I learned that one years ago with non-mainstream music. If I saw and liked a band, not buying their album (later CD) that day may mean never having a second chance to do so.

Most of the CZ pistols I've bought this year were focused on the demo kit. I'm torn about the "SP-01 Compact" since a P-01 would fit better in the demo kit (being a cataloged model and all). LGS even has an Olive Drab P-01 to tempt me.

Eastman, what do you mean by demo kit?

I work through the company that represents CZ-USA in the upper Midwest (MI, IN, WI, IL, MN, IA) along with about 30 other shooting/hunting/fishing/marine companies. In 2016, I have run demos for CZ and Otis Technologies gun cleaning products. At the last CZ event, I had 10 of my pistols along with the range's CZ75B and P-09, and a borrowed Scorpion (they now have one as a range rental).

Oh that's cool! Sounds like you have a pretty sweet gig! Well, every person who decides to pass on these pistols means I have more time to save up and get my second one...

That looks really good up close. I'm glad I ordered one.

Dang it, you guys talked me into another pistol....and $300 worth of Cajun Gun Works parts to make it "proper". 

Hopefully it comes in this week for Thanksgiving week modification time.
