So I have been shooting my SAM Military enhanced 1911 9MM a fair bit lately and with good success. I decided to go down to the range with it and my CZ SP01 Shadow in a side by side shootout to see how they stack up.

First the low down on the guns

SAM 1911 Military Enhanced 9mm. Bought it used off EE and added a few parts, $500 into it
- Ed Brown trigger
- G10 grips with front rubber finger grooves
- a little trigger work but still pretty heavy

CZ SP01 Shadow. Bought new and added a few parts, $1000 into it
- Full length stainless guide rod with 14# spring
- Thin aluminum grips
- all stock other than that


Freehand from 15 meters took 10 shots slow and methodical for accuracy, then the next 20 rapid fire. Here are the results, looks like a pretty close race to me and considering the SAM is half the price I am pretty impressed.

Not to run down your ability (you shoot at least as well as I do if not better) but I don't think differences in guns really come into play until you get down to groups of 3-4" at 25 yards.
 
The CZ Shadow is an excellent pistol, to the point that it sets IPSC standards.

Just before I acquired mine, I saw a guy shooting his friends Shadow at 15m, and he opened a ragged hole with ten shots, which is not uncommon.
That's right ten shots one hole. I am far from being as good a shot as this guy, but the CZ Shadow makes it quite easy for an average shooter to shine.
 
the CZ should be twice the gun.... its twice the price.

i hate my dads Shadow.
every time i shoot it i cant miss.
which kinda begs the questions why i havnt bought one for myself yet.

for some reason i just dont like the way the shadow feels in my hand.
which makes sense cause i dont like jericho's or sigs either, and they are all pretty much the same frame wise.

but man can that gun shoot.
it ticks me off really, ill put 5000 rounds down my M&P and my Kimber every summer then ill shoot that CZ once every 2 years and i can out shoot my guns with it. its not fair really.

Actually, I think the only way to really compare the accuracy of two guns is with one of these.....
