I posted in GD about new hand gun recommendations, but I keep coming back to the CZ 75 as my next purchase.  I'm leaning hard towards the SP-01 Shadow right now, but am wondering if it's worth the extra $300 over a plain jane SP-01.  For any Shadow owners, are the upgrades worth the cost in your opinion?  Any SP-01 owners wish they paid extra for a Shadow model.  Should I buy a SP-01 and upgrade parts from CJW as I see fit?

Thanks in advance for your input.

GD is full of derp and fanboi's, so you'll never get to hear the truth about what you're looking for.

CZ is a good purchase but what is it exactly that you're looking for this to do? Range toy, compete, house gun, EDC?

I personally like the CZ75 and on the rare occasion I'll open carry one but I use more for a range toy and as a reference gun than ever now.

Mostly for the range.  I'd probably put it in the safe in the bedroom too.  I definitely want the rail for a light.

Go for it then, you will not be disappointed with it.

I have an SP01 tactical.. it's a decocker version w/tritium front and rears.  I only bought it cause it was 550.00,
turns out to be a fav range gun.  Huge 9mm, very soft shooter.  I would buy another in a heartbeat.

Except I already own too many CZs

If you're ready to throw down for one of the Shadow flavors, just do it.

If you like to pistol smith and maybe a save a little, start with the SP-01 manual safety model.

I have a standard SP-01, and if I could go back and do it again I would drop the extra dough and get the Shadow.
