I am a believer in the "one gun" philosophy and try to find a gun that will allow me to participate in as many competitions as possible. I have made short forays into the STI platform, but after shooting the CZ Shadow 2 at the USPSA Iron Sights Nationals, I began to give serious consideration to the CZ Shadow series. I have been a Glock shooter for most of my law enforcement and competition shooting tenure. The recently released CZ Shadow 2 was developed to exclusively market to the competition shooting crowd. The two most popular variants are the CZ Shadow SP-01, which was developed as a truly do-all pistol with input from law enforcement, the military and competition shooters. Outside of law enforcement, the popularity of the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) saw widespread adoption of the pistol in the competition shooting circuit.įast-forward to the present day, and a browsing of the top competitors in USPSA and IDPA will reveal many of the top shooters are utilizing a CZ platform in the Production and SSP Divisions. Many police forces around the world adopted the platform and still carry the modern-day variant of it to this day. Double-action first shot trigger pulls seemed to bring the best of all worlds to law enforcement officers. The wonder part was due to most of American law enforcement utilizing six-shot revolvers and the double-stack magazine capacity.
Upon its introduction, it was considered one of the original "wonder" nine-millimeter pistols. The CZ 75 pistol was first developed in 1975 by Česká zbrojovka Uherský Brod (CZUB) in what is now the Czech Republic.
BEYOND THE SHADOWS OF DOUBT SERIES
I fell into that category myself until my exposure to the competition shooting world introduced me to this new and outstanding series of pistols. market is missing out on a truly outstanding brand. unfamiliar with the CZ 75 platform.įor various reasons, the CZ 75 is generally unknown to the average firearms user and unfortunately, the majority of the U.S. “The pistol the rest of the world’s police forces use” is the way I most often describe my CZ pistols to those in the U.S.
