CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow “Shadow 1” – A Purpose-Built Czech 9 mm Champion
Born on the CZ production line in Uherský Brod and refined for IPSC Production glory, this CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow combines the proven double-action/single-action architecture of the original CZ 75 with competition-oriented upgrades that later inspired the Shadow 2. A full-length carbon-steel dust cover, cold-hammer-forged 4.6" barrel, and bushing-less slide deliver match-grade stability, while the factory-tuned silver anodized trigger and absence of a firing-pin block provide the glass-smooth break skilled shooters demand. Finished in CZ’s durable black polycoat and wearing deep-checkered rubber grips, this full-size 9 mm balances a 41-ounce steel frame in the hand for fast follow-up shots and enviable durability—traits collectors and serious competitors alike will notice immediately.
Condition
• Overall Condition: Excellent. Only faint evidence of prior handling—no edge wear, thinning, or scratches.
• Bore: Excellent. Mirror-bright with sharp lands and grooves.
• Mechanical Function: Excellent. All safeties, slide-to-frame fit, and DA/SA trigger reset perform exactly as intended.
What’s Included
Three 18-round steel magazines with extended polymer basepads, factory test target, Czech-language hit-pattern sheet, blue/white multilingual CZ 75 manual, and the original Czech proof and CZ-USA Kansas City import markings intact.
From the red fiber-optic front blade that glows in daylight to the full 1913 rail ready for a weapon light, every feature on this Shadow serves a competitive purpose. Front and rear cocking serrations encourage confident press checks, while the skeletonized ring hammer and over-travel stop screw shorten lock time and reset. Ambidextrous manual thumb safeties allow “cocked-and-locked” carry on the range, and a hammer safety-stop notch offers an additional passive layer when de-cocked. With its 18+1 capacity, match-proven ergonomics, and compatibility with CZ-Custom and Cajun Gun Works upgrades, this first-generation Shadow remains a favorite on national championship rosters and a rising star in discerning collections. Own the pistol that set the benchmark for modern CZ competition guns and feel the heritage of Czech engineering in every press.
