The CZ 75 SP-01
The CZ 75 SP-01 pistol is a big-size handgun designed for duty in law enforcement or military service, but also for target shooting or self-defense. The handgun has a large capacity double-column magazine holding 18 cartridges of 9mm and featuring classic DA firing mechanism (SA/DA). The pistol design is based on proved CZ 75 platform first introduced in the mid-1970's..
The CZ 75 is a short recoil operated, locked breech pistol. Most models have the capability of being fired single or double action and feature a frame-mounted manual safety. Some recent models have a decocking lever in place of the manual safety. Starting in the late 80s, all CZ 75s are now made with firing pin blocks. There are some features which set it apart from the pack. Unlike most other semi-auto pistols (and similar to its predecessor the SIG P210), the slide rides inside the frame rails rather than outside. This provides a very tight slide-to-frame fit, very good barrel lock-up and consequently, a very accurate pistol out of the box. This was also one of the first hi-cap nines to allow cocked-and-locked (or Condition One) carry, the preferred method of most serious pistoleros. In this department, it is still in a distinct minority. It is extremely rugged and an instinctive "point-shooter".
Colonel Jeff Cooper, long-time advocate of the Colt 1911, hailed it as the best-designed double-action autoloader available. It has become one of the most popular pistols of its class.
Grip panels made of rubber are provided with checkering. Long beavertail located at the upper portion of backstrap protects the shooter's hand against the slide in its rearward movement and enables more deeper and secure grip.
The robust steel frame structural design provides long service life, accuracy and reliability even at demanding conditions and environments, which can be expected at the specialized units tasks fulfillment.
The front portion of the pistol frame features integral light or laser rail (MIL-STD-1913). Sights are open and have squared configuration. Dots fitted into the rear sight and front sight are made of tritium luminescent inserts for aiming at poor visibility conditions.
It has exceptional accuracy and easy target acquisition, even in quick and repeated fire drills. The SP-01's biggest advantage is that the mass softens recoil.
It is available with an ambidextrous manual safety (SP-01) or with an ambidextrous decocker (SP-01 Tactical). The safety of the handgun is provided by an automatic firing pin block and ambidextrous manual safety.
This is one handun that should be in everyone's collection.
