Design and build: proven 75 lineage with custom touches

The SP-01 Shadow is built on the classic CZ75 geometry used by police and military units worldwide. This Dual Tone variant pairs a silver polycoat frame with a blued top slide for a functional, durable finish. Key external features include a high-rise beavertail that protects the hand during fast follow-up shots, checkered aluminum grips for a positive purchase, and an accessory-ready Picatinny rail for lights or lasers.

Trigger system and internal tuning

This model is optimized by the CZ Custom shop with competition-oriented internals: a competition hammer, a tuned double-action pull of approximately 7.5–8 lbs and a single-action pull in the 3.5–4 lb range. Additional refinements include a short reset disconnector, extended firing pins, and lighter mainspring and recoil spring to smooth follow-up shots and speed up reset.

Practical performance: caliber, capacity, and sights

Chambered in 9mm Luger, the SP-01 Shadow offers the balance of manageable recoil and ample stopping power suitable for both competitive shooting and self defense. It ships with three magazines each holding 18 rounds, supporting sustained strings on the range and reducing reload frequency during drills. Sighting is handled by adjustable rear sights and a fiber-optic front for fast target acquisition in variable light.

Price is listed at $1689.99 — View product details and pricing on the shop page to confirm current stock and accessory options.

Handling considerations and controls

Ergonomically the Shadow is intuitive: the manual thumb safety sits for positive engagement, the beavertail and grip texture support high-hand placement, and the competition hammer paired with a short reset favors fast, accurate follow-up shots. The tuned recoil springs and lighter mainspring contribute to a softer impulse and easier recoil management for faster recovery.
