cz shadow opinions?

CZ SP01 Shadow is fantastic. Very very fast pistol.
Sights settle right back on target after the recoil impulse.
 
Shadow is truly awesome....a very fine handgun indeed...and as a collector of 1911's...I'm a big fan of STI...they have 1911's for all budgets...and all of them are spectacular..jmho
 
Shadow is a nice gun. Boggles that the Shadow 2 still doesn't have a decocker, though. Pricey nowadays, but what isn't...
 
If the 92fs was as good of a gun/reliable/well made/well laid out/ergonomic as the Shadow I am sure more people would buy the 92fs. :p

I have Beretta and CZ (75B stainless and had the SP-01 tactical) 92FS is more reliable than CZ, CZ is ammo picky esp when it comes to OAL (overall length of the cartridge) ones who reload know all about it... As for being well made there is nothing higher end on the CZ over Beretta, IMO Beretta has better attention to detail if you will. What CZ does have is awesome ergonomics and they really hit the home run with the SP-01 Tactical/Shadow with IPSC crowd and target shooters. Before that CZ was more of a budget gun compared to Beretta,Sig HK USP, Hi Power etc.

To each its own. I've seen a brand new beretta after 20 rounds crack the slide in two. I have seen more barettas break then CZ.

Poor placement of the safety is another issue.

92fs balance is blah and the fact holding it is like holding a glock but worse.. Instead of a 2X4 its a 2X6.
 
I have a CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow and the biggest regret that I have is that I didn't get one sooner. OP go for it. You will not regret it.

IDPA separates the two but what the scores indicate while you can tinker (add magwells, triggers, hammers and carve the frame) to your hearts content in Enhanced Service Pistol vs Stock Service Pistol the scores are for all intent and purpose the same. Starting C&L vs hammer down seems to have little impact on the scoring, nor do all the enhancements peddled by the industry. IPSC sends you to shooting major which does have an impact on the gun you choose. Not sure what it does to IPSC scoring as I never did get to understand it other than at times I was a B Class shooter and other times a C Class.

The Shadow and the other 75 variants CZ produces are excellent guns with, as others have indicated excellent ergonomics. The only grip I prefer over my CZ's in a pistol is that found on a Tanfanglio. I only have one Tan though vs well more than I care to comment CZ's. CZ's seem to breed like rabbits in my gun safe.

not gonna comment on the rest because don't want to derail the thread but tactical and shadows with a rail do nit have a good balance; they're very front end heavy. Regular 75B as well as Beretta have a much better weight distribution.
