Newly Interested In CZ Handguns, What Is Your Opinion

**beast1989** · 09-09-2012, 11:59 AM

People rave over the CZ 75B however, Im a sucker for the more "modern" looking CZ SP-01. Im leaning toward the SP-01 simply because I prefer its aesthetics but I wonder if the 75B is a superior firearm, if so I would go that route instead. Also are there any differences in performance between the sp-01 phantom and sp-01?

If there is a CZ forum I will probably snoop around there one of these days. Thanks for the help OSA.

My dad got a SP-01 recently and it is a fine gun. I would recommend you get one. I havnt handled the phantom though.

I've yet to find a 9mm pistol I like better than the CZ75B. They make some great products.

CZ handguns are excellent firearms,I own a 75B and love it, smooth shooting and great accuracy.Made a mistake and sold my SP-01 Phantom to a friend about a year ago and wish I would have kept it.

How did the accuracy and trigger of the phantom compare to the 75B?

I liked the Phantom better,the trigger pull in DA on the Cz75B is a lot heavier.The trigger on the Phantom at first was very gritty but smoothed out after a good cleaning and about 250 rounds or so.Accuracy wise I never shot both side by side to compare but Id give the edge to the Phantom.
Both are good shooters with no failures of any kind but having the 18 round capacity on the Phantom was nice.

I've not had the opportunity to fire any of the 75s other than my P-01. It's a nice, comfortable auto for sure.

I LOVE my SP01. Very accurate and heavy. Just the way I like it. I don't think you can go wrong with the CZ's. I've shot just about all the major brands, and CZ's (although not expensive) are great guns. I'd rank the accuracy as good or better than my Sig 226 (and I love my Sig).

Love my SP 01

**shelshy** · 09-09-2012, 06:49 PM

I had the CZ40P as my first pistol. I regret trading it everyday.

It was a tackdriver out of the box.

Hi,

Go for that SP-01 without hesitation. It is an absolutely sweet shooter. It comes with night sights standard. You can get it in either the decocker or safety model.

Here are a couple of pics from czcustom to encourage you!!

Good luck!

I own a 75BD and I love it. I have easily put 3k rounds thru it without a single complaint. It is my favorite pistol that I own. I would not hesitate in purchasing any CZ product.

I wish I'd of gotten one of those models when I had the chance'
Get it, you wont regret it. CZ's are like Lays potato chips- can't just have one.

Here's my CZ 75 Compact in 9mm. It is nothing short of awesome. CZ's are right there at the top as far as quality, ergonomics, & acccuracy. I would say this is my all time favorite handgun. Take look at www.czforum.com too.
