CZ SP-01 Tactical - A Tactical Competition Powerhouse!

[@tinman8972]

Every time someone tells me that I should install some aftermarket upgrades on my CZ 75 SP-01 Tactical, like an expensive red dot rear sight, I tell them the truth. It shoots much better than I do right out of the box, and if I ever catch up, I'll consider upgrades. This is my favorite 9mm.

[@jolujo5842]

True that!✌ My SP01 in stock form, is the best, most accurate 9mm I have had the pleasure to shoot. It's definitely better than I am 🤣🤣🤣

[@JoshsGameClub]

I started carrying the SP-01 around March, 2017 and continue to carry it. Prior to that I carried a Springfield 1911 Operator (with surefire x300U) and a Beretta 92FS going back to February of 2014. Prior to that, I carried an M&P9 Full-size (4.25" barrel) with Streamlight TLR1. All these were, and are, carried IWB. To date, the SP-01 is the gun I shoot the best. I love the CZ!

[@chaboi7]

How far are you hitting targets with that sp01?

[@jaredcoleman9313]

What holster do you use?

[@JoshsGameClub]

@@chaboi7 The farthest was a pepper popper at 100 yards with 3/4 hits.

[@JoshsGameClub]

@@jaredcoleman9313 A Cheapo Uncle Mikes, but that ended quickly as I couldnt' find a holster that was equivalent to my Bladetechs or Bravo Concealment holsters for other pistols.

[@jaredcoleman9313]

@@JoshsGameClub try Vedder holsters.

[@jimgregory6185]

I'm a long time Sig lover, but discovered CZ's last year. They are amazing! The lower bore axis is an improvement on Sig and the quality is at the same level at half the price. Big time CZ fan now! Thanks for the great content!

[@KSGunGuy01]

I completely agree Jim! CZs are awesome. Thank you and cheers!

[@bitmastermac]

I have 4 SIGs (3 in 40sw) but I bought 3 CZs (SP01T, P01 and 75C) just to run 9mm. I can’t choose a winner between P226 and the SP01.

[@bitmastermac]

Jim Gregory I recommend the MCarbo trigger job. I did it to all my CZs and the results get close to the SIG SRT.

[@rotorwind177]

I have one. It's one of my favorite guns! Makes an excellent bedside gun

[@KSGunGuy01]

That's awesome! Another great purpose I hadn't considered very much. Cheers!

[@marknecker1996]

One of the top 3 pistols I've ever owned. And I've got sigs, HKs, walthers, glocks, korths, etc. CZ SP01 tactical, German made P210, and p365 are my top 3.

[@vincec.202]

The CZ P-01(basically the compact version of this with an alloy frame) is by FAR my favorite carry pistol. I started shooting some competition when I was younger and started with what I THOUGHT I needed...a ridiculously expensive Infinity 2011. Times got a little tight so I sold it. I bought a barely shot Tangfoglio Limited for 1/4th the money(based on the CZ SP-01) and I've never looked back. I'm SURGICAL with it. You made an awesome choice because you get everything in that pistol to make it an absolute hot-rod if you want, and the upgrades are pretty plentiful. I encourage you to dig a little online and look at trigger packs and even directions on improving the trigger that aren't Cajun Gunworks Price Gouged. It makes a HUGE difference. A shorter and lighter all around trigger with a shorter reset is mandatory on that line of CZ's. Really great handgun man! Reliable. Accurate. Durable. Attractive looking. Ergonomic. What's not to Love???

[@trevwilson1962]

Where have these true classics been I have owned or handled every design Glock 1911 and suddenly I was at a local shop I was looking at Sig's and next to the overpriced Sig's were a few CZ s I'm amazed at the entire design price and selection my money if I buy handguns will be spent with CZ-USA keep up the great work and prices are very welcome for anyone to truly enjoy a classic that in my experiences can't be beat shoot one any model then pick up a Glock enough said thanks CZ-USA for providing me the chance to own a REAL classic BIG T in KY

[@82lowe36id]

This wepaon in FDE was my first CZ and I am hooked. The SP-01 Tactical is now my home defense weapon and I carry a RAMI BD 9mm.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Great stuff! Thank you and cheers

[@scottf.3808]

Love those CZ's and Big Johnson has one heck of a collection of em so kudos to him....Good detailed informative vid and some fun ranget time with good grouping....Good stuff....

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thanks Scott! Always a pleasure man. I agree, Big J has some great guns to shoot. That Shadow is awesome! Cheers brother

[@kimsiewers]

Steel is real. The best champagne comes from France; the best guns come from the Czech Republic.

[@Politicallyhomeless957]

Truth

[@bsmithhammer]

The SP-01 is such an awesome, unique pistol. Put a little CGW love into it and it can easily go from 'great' to 'phenomenal.' Mine now has a 7lb DA pull and 3.5lb in SA mode. Also swapped out the stock trigger for the CZ 'old style' trigger that is far less curved. I keep coming back to my CZs because I shoot them better than anything else.

[@cdenton651]

Mine out of the box was 1 lb single action and 4 lb double action

[@bsmithhammer]

@@cdenton651 Then iI have a hard time believing it was a regular SP-01 - they ship with much heavier hammer springs than that. It could have been the SP-01 Shadow model? That's the competition version, and comes with much lower trigger weights.

[@TheWeatherbuff]

I had a CZ 75 SP-01 Tac last year, and foolishly traded it for something else. My new one arrives today, and I could not be happier. Thanks for your review.

[@KSGunGuy01]

That's awesome and congrats! Thank you and cheers!

[@harleygrit5210]

Preaching to the choir!....great weapon....love CZ!

[@KSGunGuy01]

Amen to that! Thank you and cheers!

[@augustusheyliger3181]

KS...Once again great job...picked up a SP 01 (with safety)...2 weeks ago...excellent pistol...very very accurate and the damn thing just eats up a recoil..very happy with purchase...now the problem is I want the P01 now!...lol

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you and congrats! It’s a sweet shooter for sure. I do recommend a P-01 as well. CZ is really lighting things up right now. Cheers!

[@jolujo5842]

The safety version has a better / smoother trigger than the decocker version.

[@johnroberts4759]

The CZ SP01 is awesome! I picked one up down at The Bullet Hole off last week. Great review!

[@KSGunGuy01]

That’s awesome John! Congrats on the new acquisition. Good to hear from a local Kansan. Thank you and cheers!

[@justinm.791]

I had one of these and loved it... didn't love the trigger reset spring..broke 2 OEM and finally installed a CGW spring.One of my buddies busted my chops until I finally sold it to him. I'm thinking of picking up the safety version or a CZP09. Though it'll most likely be the P09 since I've never had one.

[@KSGunGuy01]

That's awesome Justin! They are great shooters indeed. Wild about the broken springs though. Keep me posted if you get another! Cheers brother

[@GRat9717]

This is gonna be my first pistol. I'd say it's the right choice.

[@cjmoore7240]

Love the CZ's I am a huge CZ fanboy have the SP-01, CZ 75 Compact PCR and the 2075 RAMI all in 9MM. I have done Cajun Gun Works as well as do the gunsmithing my self. The CZ's are IMO one of the best if not the best firearms to own. I do own a Glock too and it's in a different category. I dig my Glock too and love all the firearms I own. The CZ's I love a little more. Awesome video!

[@KSGunGuy01]

CJ Moore thank you very much CJ! I'm quickly jumping on the bandwagon and realizing how great CZs are. Fine craftsmanship and really fun shooters. Nothing wrong with a glock either! Just put up a new vid on my G19 MOS. Thank you for the comment. Cheers brother!

[@tecobyrd937]

KSGunGuy 01 I converted to Cz to I think the double to single is safer for carry I cajunized my pcr myself

[@KSGunGuy01]

Jay Byrd that's awesome! I need to check out cajon gunworks. Cheers!

[@KatoCoyoteCombatWorkshop]

I love the SP01. I just wish it also came in an aluminum frame (yeah there's the phantom but it's ugly and doesn't have interchangeable grips, and yeah there's the P01 but something about shrinking the CZ75 takes away from its lines and aesthetics).

[@CWB1863]

I'd keep the rubber grips on it as well. It certainly looks like a little tank.

[@KSGunGuy01]

I think I'm with you on the grips CWB. And yes... it's a tank! Great shooter though. Cheers!

[@bennykwong3172]

You can get an extended slide release like the P-01. I think the moon shaped trigger is narrowing down movement from the pull.

[@blt308]

i like the rubber grip as well it also helps reduce recoil impulse to the hands.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Great point! Thank you and cheers!

[@augustusheyliger6514]

Ks...i have this gun in urban grey suppressed tactical...it eats up recoil...very accurate!...should cost more than what it is...traded a Walther PPQ 5 INCH target for it......WINNING!!

[@KSGunGuy01]

The Urban Grey version looks awesome! I love that color. They really are top notch guns for sure brother. Thank you and cheers!

[@blaiwayw1]

I I enjoyed your review of the SP01 tactical. Not many reviews of this CZ. Mine is the same pistol, but it came from the CZ Custom shop. It has the aggressive aluminum grip panels, with the Custom Shop logo. That and the phenomenal trigger are the only indication. The trigger is at 7 pounds double action and 3.5 single. I think the Custom Shop version runs about $200 more. The ambi decocker is nice. The pistol came with a Custom Shop target. I don’t know how many shots they took, or the distance. There is one ragged 1.5 inch hole in the target.

[@ortiz73caify]

Excellent review and fun. I also bought some LOK Grips the ones you recommended and I have to agree they are perfect.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thank you very much! Cheers!

[@2aholes402]

I've got the P01 and really like it. I figured the extra weight and sight radius aren't that big of a help for me seeing as I usually scored in the bottom half of any competition I shoot. I think this pistol weight to much for SSP division so it is in limited or esp and there you are going up against about of tricked out glocks with 2.5lbs trigger. A nice gun for sure tho

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thanks for the comment and thoughts! I hear the P01 is awesome. It would be interesting to see a head to head against a similarly featured glock. Cheers!

[@TheYaddayadda]

"Grenade launchers" made me snort. But seriously, awesome weapon. I enjoy mine immensely.

[@larry1754]

Thank you for this review, I just picked up the same gun but in gray finish with orange aluminum grips, can't wait to get it to the range! But this is something I have posted on so many gun review videos in the past, when you have such a light/bright background, and the gun only takes up a small amount of the image area, the camera automatically sets it's exposure for the WHOLE amount of light coming in to it, it has no idea what the subject is! And in this case, the camera adjusts itself for a proper exposure considering all that light background, making the "subject", the gun, dark and hard for us to see details in it. There are two ways around this..... One, zoom the camera in much closer to the gun, eliminating as much of that bright area in the background as possible. And two, use a darker background that more matches the brightness level of the gun. Experiment with these tips, play around with my suggestions, see how much better your videos turn out, how much more detail we can see in the gun you are showing!

[@KSGunGuy01]

Look at the date on the video. Much has changed.

[@TwistedMetalsOfTexas]

I like the look of this pistol, and pretty much all of the CZ's. I've never shot this particular pistol either, but I do enjoy shooting my P07, and P09's. Thanks for another great video on another great gun.

[@KSGunGuy01]

fumasterchu12 thanks Fu! The p07 and p09 are great guns. If I had to choose, I'd probably keep my p07 and sell the sp01 simply for the fact that carrying it would be a bear. All great shooters though. CZ puts out a fantastic product. Cheers brother!

[@fumasterchu12]

I love my P07 b/c its just the right size, and I really like the extended mags too! I've got the +2 base pads on all of my CZ mags.

[@KSGunGuy01]

The non-tactical comes with night sights as well. Literally the only difference is the decocker.

I had a same gripe about Shadow I used to have. Triggers is little weird. My P07 is a DUTY model and has pretty much same trigger

How would you compare this to the Canik?

[@KSGunGuy01]

Thanks for the comment Iowa! Compared to the SXF... that's tough. I think the weight of the SP-01 is both an advantage and disadvantage depending on your use but if you are just plinking at the range, the SP-01 has it in spades. If you are competing, I'd say the Canik may be the better choice, especially since you can add the optic. The price is pretty great on the Canik as well. Tough to be those triggers on both! Cheers

[@freewheeling7376]
