CZ 75 SP-01: I took this gun to range today and ran 200 rounds through it right out of the box. WOW! What a great shooting pistol. I was smiling like mule eating briars as the one hole in the target got bigger and jagged. This pistol is a joy. Here are my pros and cons:
Pros: It is all steel and very well made. It's heavy so the recoil is minimal, this translates to very rapid and controlled fire. I was able to fire faster with more control, than my Glocks and Springfields. It has a long sight radius, like my 1911 Government model so it's easier to maintain the sight picture, giving better accuracy. It holds 18+1 (Take that California!).
Oh... and it has Tritium night sights. Plus it's comfortable to hold and it points naturally.
Cons: The trigger is not as good as my 1911, being double action, and is a little gritty. I have been told that this will smooth out nicely after a while. The Tritium sights are great in the dark but are harder to see in the light than my Glocks or other three dots sights that are white. I could see them well enough to shoot one jagged hole at 21 feet though. And did I say it was heavy? 41oz empty, 51oz loaded. It's too heavy to carry concealed, for long anyway.
