CZ 75 SP-01 Competition Red 9mm Limited-Run Pistol – Discontinued 2023, DA/SA, 21+1, Fiber-Optic Front Sight
This CZ 75 SP-01 Competition Red is a factory limited-edition variant that pairs the proven SP-01 steel-frame platform with a striking red grip set and competition-tuned internals. Produced in a short run and discontinued in 2023, it offers collectors a rare chance to own a colorway released alongside the equally scarce Blue edition. Its forged-steel construction, cold-hammer-forged barrel, and factory-lightened trigger pull make it as capable on the range as it is interesting in a collection.

The Competition Red series stands out with red anodized, checkered aluminum grips that contrast the matte black polycoat finish. This factory colorway was produced in limited numbers and is no longer offered, increasing its appeal to shooters who appreciate distinctive aesthetics and scarcity.
Performance upgrades come factory-installed. A competition hammer, 11-lb recoil spring, and tuned DA/SA trigger deliver sub-7.5 lb double-action and roughly 3.5 lb single-action pulls, giving the shooter a light, predictable break while maintaining full reliability.
The forged-steel frame carries a full-length railed dust cover for added weight up front and a 3-slot Picatinny rail for accessories. Combined with the 40.7 oz unloaded weight, recoil is kept flat for rapid follow-up shots.
Cold-hammer-forged steel forms the 4.6 inch barrel, while the slide wears rear cocking serrations and a durable matte black polycoat. A red fiber-optic front sight and serrated, drift-adjustable rear notch offer a bright sight picture under varied lighting.
Ambidextrous manual thumb safeties, a hammer safety-stop, and an internal firing-pin block provide layered safeguards without interfering with the smooth trigger press. CIP proof marks and CZ-USA import stamps verify its Czech manufacture and U.S. import history.
