SP01 Shadow

Nice to see these back in stock again.

Here's CZC's Shadow sight offerings:

Sights are a personal preference, I'm partial to the red fiber front and the black Shadow rear.

If you're still not sure, give CZC a call and ask them to help guide you in your sight selection. The purpose of the pistol will play a large part in their suggestions.

The larger front sight will obscure more of the target. I have the 1.0 on two pistols and like them very much. The front sight will be easier and cheaper to change over if you would prefer a larger dot on the front sight.

1 millimeter = 0.039 inch

1.5 millimeter = 0.059 inch

The pistol in the link does have the fiber front sight, and Shadow rear, I believe it also has a Shadow hammer versus the race hammer.

How it differs from the Shadow Targets is the short reset, trigger pull weight, adjustable rear sight and level of tuning/polishing

From CZC's description.

The CZ 75 SP-01 SHADOW features:

New style sights consisting of fiber optic front and Competition Style rear promote faster and more accurate target acquisition.

Shadow is fitted with a newly redesigned hammer originating from the CZ 75 Champion. This hammer is slightly wider and has modified sear engagement for smoother release and more positive ignition.

85 Combat style slide without firing pin block helps to smooth the trigger pull and improve distance of trigger reset.

85 Combat Style trigger with over travel adjustment helps to remove excess rear ward trigger movement.

Higher cuts beneath the trigger guard and beaver tail enable a higher grip on the gun, which helps to reduce felt recoil and muzzle flip.

Lighter recoil and main springs originating from original CZ 75 Specifications help to create a smoother more consistent action.

Safeties as found on the CZ 75 SA are fitted as standard; these provide a larger surface area for better positioning of the thumb.

Extended Magazine release allows for ease of reach and more positive ejection of magazine under stressful situations.

Fully beveled magazine well, substantially improves speed and ease of reloading.

That's correct.

Superb.

How long is the wait?

Congrats! Please post a range report.

There's many levels of refinement and customization with these pistols. There's different sight options including adjustable sights and fiber optic options

There's trigger jobs that include reduced reach, short reset and polishing. There's at least 3 maybe 4 safety options.

Along with those options, there's different trigger styles and you can go SAO or single action only.

I have a few different models which includes a Shadow Target and the ST trigger is on par with a tuned 1911 trigger in single action.

I'd recommend calling both CZC and CGW and talking to them about your expectations in what you want for a pistol.

The Shadows I've linked above are a step above the typical retail CZ offerings and an utterly fantastic firearm but there's options above and beyond what's being offered there.

Another thing to consider if you're looking for a comp pistol is that IPDA has banned the Shadow Target and Accu Shadow.

That's a matter of opinion but I would say the Shadows offer a superb bang for the buck. The Single Action 75 with some aftermarket parts will come in close to the $880 mark of the Shadow and maybe even a little cheaper depending on you doing the work yourself.

There isn't an SA version at that price but an SA trigger can be installed.

Yes, you can carry the DA/SA safety models cocked and locked exclusively if you want.
