I bought this gun a few weeks back after a friend's recommendation to check out CZ. After taking it out a few times... I think I'm in love. It has all of the weight and recoil control of a 1911 due to the full metal frame, but is much more comfortable to me with even the stock rubberized grips. It also shoots 9mm, a much cheaper range toy than my 45 1911.
At first I didn't think I was going to like the DA/SA trigger and in the back of my mind was thinking I'd need to by the SAO trigger, but the SA shots are so smooth it's not even a problem. There's obviously a decent amount of take-up in the trigger before you find the break point, however I find myself not even able to FIND the break point because once you're there you've fired. It's an incredibly light trigger pull leading to less trigger jerks and some damn accurate shots. This thing can make ME look like I know what I'm doing which is quite a feat. The red optic front sight is also a huge plus. The back sight is just a flat black panel and I may paint a Glock style U around the border.

CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow (Black Poly Coat)
This new generation CZ 75 SP-01 pistol especially adapted according to suggestions from Law Enforcement, Military and Police communities worldwide with an additional input from Team CZ shooters Angus Hobdell and Adam Tyc.
The CZ 75 SP-01 SHADOW features:
New style sights consisting of fiber optic front and Competition Style rear promote faster and more accurate target acquisition.
Shadow is fitted with a newly redesigned hammer originating from the CZ 75 Champion. This hammer is slightly wider and has modified sear engagement for smoother release and more positive ignition.
85 Combat style slide without firing pin block helps to smooth the trigger pull and improve distance of trigger reset.
85 Combat Style trigger with over travel adjustment helps to remove excess rear ward trigger movement.
Higher cuts beneath the trigger guard and beaver tail enable a higher grip on the gun, which helps to reduce felt recoil and muzzle flip.
Lighter recoil and main springs originating from original CZ 75 Specifications help to create a smoother more consistent action.
Safeties as found on the CZ 75 SA are fitted as standard; these provide a larger surface area for better positioning of the thumb.
Extended Magazine release allows for ease of reach and more positive ejection of magazine under stressful situations.
Fully beveled magazine well, substantially improves speed and ease of reloading.
Pistol is supplied with three 19 round magazines and rubber grips.
This new generation of CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow pistol is designed for Law Enforcement, Military service, Self-defense, General Range Use and Competition.
