Maybe this is the sign to finally get a SP01
I wonder if they'll release any new steel frame models in the next few years. I sure hope so.

Rip. The SP-01 has been discontinued for a couple years now iirc

They're amazing guns, I own and have owned about a dozen CZ 75 variants. Get em if you can.

i’ve slimmed my cz’s down to shadow 2, SP01, P09c. All good guns, but those are the three I landed on. The 83 was the only one I didn’t like as the safety pinches the out of you due to the design.

Where did you see that?

I had a CZ 75 SAO 9mm. Had slide milled for Novak rear sights.

Awesome gun, the only reason I got rid of it was because of the thumb safety placement. Short fingers meant on the draw I could not 100% deactivate the safety and I wanted to carry it.

It's not discontinued, just no longer on the CA roster.

This article also isn't talking about the SP-01 or P-01. It calls those out as models they'll continue to make. This is the rail-less full size manual safety and decocker. Classic models for sure, but not the beloved SP-01/P-01.

Meh. I've had a lot of CZs (75b full size, 75b compact, SP01, TS, 97b). None of them were anything to write home about. They didn't do anything better than a Glock or 1911. Overhyped is an understatement.

*slimmed. Slimed[SIC] would rhyme with "primed". Perhaps a Ghostbusting mishap?

No, SP-01 safety and tactical (deer) still in production.
SP-01 .40 S&W, phantom, shadow and some competition models were discontinued .
I like CZs, ergonomics and aesthetics hard to beat. Shoots great, a lot of aftermarket support.
I know someone who likes CZs better than Atlas . Wing wing @Wolkenflieger

For carry, I prefer my HiPowers but my 75B is more accurate and worked up to a much much better trigger. The .22 Kadet kits for them are also awesome.

I bought 75b frame for kadet 2 a few years ago, did CGW SAO conversion. Such a fun plinker

The SP01

 

[paintballdad]

They still have a classic CZ-75 in their line up with the CZ-75 Legend which has the original stepped slide design.

The SP01

What about it?

For?

The 97B was a pig, I’ll give you that I regretted that gun from the first range trip.

Disregard, replied to the wrong post. Meant to reply to the claim that the SP-01 was discontinued.

Really? I liked it, and my teenage son loved it. I then did 1911 style bushing and SAO conversion. Was such a smooth and flat shooting gun. I did sell it eventually, but not because it wasn’t good . Ammo is pricey, and it wasn’t getting out of safe much

I do! The CZ TS2 Orange is ny favorite range gun and I do like it better than the Atlas Erebus I owned for a while. It's mostly an ergo thing, as I find the TS2 far more comfortable.
