Locked Up a SP-01

[MJWEB]

Jonesing for a 92 FS Vertec, but since none were available I took the opportunity to put a CZ 75 SP 01 in jail. I find it's not the most left-hand friendly weapon but with a little training it should be easy enough to master. The design is beautiful but utilitarian, there is nothing superfluous about it. It seems under-manufactured compared to many mainstream brands. The frame and slide are covered in grease which I imagine helped on the trip from Czechoslovakia. I picked it up at MB Retting for $680, which is the MSRP. Doug, the employee who wrote it up, informs me there are about a dozen SP 01s left.
It wasn't an impulse buy. I've read quite a lot about the SP01 before and it was, in fact, my second choice. I would welcome any advice on cleaning, maintenance, or useful modifications. Thanks!

I hate to burst your bubble, but the U.S. models are made in Kansas. Either way, congrats. I've wanted one for a while, but my next CZ will be a 97B.

Come on guy. No way it is made in Kansas. Imported by CZ USA.

Parts are imported from the Czech Republic, but final assembly, including any stamping or finishing, is done in the U.S. of A. This has been done for quite a few years now.

Someone in this thread is an idiot and it isn't the OP.

CZ is MADE in the Czech Republic.

Just traded an sp01 for a 97b with a fellow calgunner. Have owned two now, but have yet to shoot them, i have shot the sp01 before, and hope to get another down the road, next time for keeps.

Yet another SP-01 unboxing photo, so ubiquitous now that they all resemble each other. After lots of reading and window shopping I'm not going to mod it yet. I want to feel the stock configuration first. Why is it so hard to score 10 round Mecgar or stock mags? Can anyone suggest a good (lefty) holster?
