school me on the cz 75

Well, I own a 92A1, and a Shadow 2. Love them both. If I had to pick, I'd probably go with the CZ. Super easy to shoot well, compared to most other pistols. That Beretta is iconic though...
 
The CZ 75B has a drop safety and a manual safety. Standard non-adjustable sights.

The CZ 75BD is the same as 75B but omits the manual safety for a decocker. The sights are optional flashlight activated night sights.

The 85 Combat is an ambidextrous version of the 75B with some other differences. This includes target adjustable rear sight, extended beaver tail, and the removal of the drop safety allowing a smoother and lighter trigger pull.

The CZ 75B Stainless is the same as the 75B but with a stainless finish and some variations have an extended beaver tail.

The CZ 75 Omega is the same as the 75B but features CZ's Omega trigger system. The Omega system is used in the new CZ P-07 and CZ P-09.

The SP-01 Shadow is a full length dust cover pistol built from the ground up as a target pistol. No drop safety, non adjustable rear sight, manual safety, extended beaver tail, and accessory rail.

The SP-01 Tactical is similar to the Shadow but built for the purpose of combat. Has a drop safety, flashlight activated night sights, decock, and the barrel finish is blacked out.

The SP-01 Phantom is a discontinued polymer frame version of the SP-01 Tactical with the Omega trigger system. The SP-01 Phantom was replaced by the CZ P-09.

The SP-01 Shadowmate is an enhanced, gunsmith fitted version of the SP-01 Shadow. The action is very tight and smooth while it features a fiber optic rear sight and aluminum grips.

The 75 Shadowline is an enchanced, gunsmith fitted version of the CZ 75B built for the purpose of competition shooting also featuring aluminum grips.

The 75 Tactical Sport (TS) is an extended barrel, gunsmith fitted, full length dust cover, no accessory rail, purpose built competition gun.

The 75 Czechmate is the open class purpose built hotrod. The gun is offered in a few different colour variations. Features are a compensated barrel, flared mag well, aluminum grips, extended mag release, optics mount ready, and a charging handle.

The Shadow 2 is no longer a true CZ 75. Although it is built on the CZ 75 platform it is a different gun. Not entirely as the mags are the same but it is a different gun. Production Class in IPSC may as well be called CZ Shadow 2 Class.

Holy crap I was wondering about cz's as well that about breaks it down! Thanks
 
Two friends of mine own both the Beretta (92FS and M9A1) and CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow. I tried all 4 guns. I consistently shoot the CZ better, and so do they! They both want to sell their Berettas, but I just got myself a Shadow. It is very ergonomic, and it shoots where it is aimed. Whilst the Berettas are comfortable to hold, they are nowhere nearly as accurate as the CZ and muzzle jump is much more pronounced with the Berettas.

To me, it is not even close. CZ hands down!
 



Sp01 shadow and Beretta 92f
Trigger- cz wins here I just checked them both and the reset is shorter on the cz and a smoother and shorter double action. As a single action their about equal but for all in all I'd give the nod to the cz.

Grip- cz wins hands down! It fits like magic and everybody that shoots it for the first time comments on how great it fell. If you absolutely massive hands the 92 might be better,I have medium hands and prefer the cz but have no issues with the Beretta.

Sights- tie,with a slight nod to the cz for being able to remove the front sight (Beretta 92a1 would square this up)

Accuracy- both shoot better then I ever will

Reliability- this particular Beretta only has 100 rounds through it (not bad for made in 87) and this shadow has 12000 rounds through it. My last Beretta 92fs had 18000 through it when I sold it and for reliability I've never had issues with eigther pistol and I've used both for ipsc and 3 gun.

All in all Iove both and will always have both but if I could really only have 1 and strictly just for shooting it would be the cz. It's a "better"shooting gun and I say the lightly but i still think the 92f is one of the nicest pistols ever made.
