Competition grade CZ's. worth it?

[GuillermoAntonio]

So I've decided I'm buying me another gun.
I already own the SP-01 but I'm now interested in going up the next step. My heart is strong with CZ...
So I'm thinking CZ tactical sports in 9mm.
But I wonder about the CZ shadow target and of course, I wonder what czcustom has available for CA.
Does anyone have some input?
I appreciate all input but specially any coming from.someone who has tried this models
By the way, I'm still a steel match / uspsa newbie, done that several times but not proficient yet.

[Strykeback]

Me too! Are they worth the extra money?

Most of their blingy pistols are not on the roster and will need to be SSE'd. I'm thinking of getting a shadow. I do like my SP01, much more than my 75B.

I've got an SP-01 (stock) as well as a 9mm Tac Sport that was done over by CZ Customs.

I enjoy shooting the Tac Sport MUCH more than I do the SP-01. The control, recoil and accuracy of the Tac Sport is ridiculously good. I'm an average pistol shooter at best and this gun has no problem making me look good. The crisp trigger and hefty frame make for a single ragged hole at 15 yards (which is really good for me).

Hell, I've taken first timers to the range and let them shoot it and even they do well with it.

Take this with a grain of salt though. I don't shoot competitions and I've never owned any other gun that's been "worked on". I really don't have much to compare it against.

are you planning on shooting limited?

Also, you could always take an SP01 and tune it to a SAO gun. The Tac Spot I'm a little iffy about due to having different magazines.

Besides the hideous looks, the CZ75TS 9mm has been my favorite handgun I've ever owned/shot!!!

Zack,
What do you think about the Shadow target?
Or the Shadow ?
Those can be shot in production...
I'm not too excited about shooting limited, but I think If it comes to that I can always use my SP-01 and go back to production.
My goal here isn't really becoming a pro shooter, but I wanna have fun.
Having different mags is something I can survive.

I think they are cool, but really depends on how sensitive you are to slight trigger differences. For me, it wouldn't make a difference really.

The shadow would be if you wanted to start getting involved in IDPA, the shadow target would be great for production, but I don't think you would be getting a huge advantage over your sp01 with a trigger job. The lack of a FP safety will take some of the take up out, but beyond that its the same gun with different sights.

If you want the TS, I would only get it in 40 since you are going to be stuck in limited either way since it is SAO.

[bender152]

The Tac Sport does use different mags, it does not use CZ-75 mags. So your existing mags will not be interchangable.

However, CZ Customs sells (or used to sell) grips which would shrink down the magwell and allow you to use CZ-75 mags. I have them on mine and am able to share mags on my CZ's.

That's what I was thinking... doesn't sound too encouraging to get a shadow. Specially when my SP-01 already has the cajunworks trigger job.

I'm not a fan of the .40
I wonder what it would be like to shoot a TS in .40

Neither am I, but if your going to shoot limited, you pretty much need to shoot major PF.

[GuillermoAntonio]

I think I need to go to the range a rent a pistol in .40
After that I will be able to make a better decision...
