About This Firearm

The CZ 75 SP-01 Tactical is an all-steel DA/SA .40 S&W built for range work and competition. Its frame is steel in black polycoat and the magazine is a double stack holding 12 rounds, behind a 4.6-inch cold hammer forged barrel.

It comes with fixed night sights and rubber grip panels, and the dust cover carries a rail for a light. The decocking lever works from either side, with a safety stop on the hammer and a firing pin block behind it; this version has no manual safety. Nothing adjusts and the slide has no optic cut. At 8.15 inches long, 5.79 inches tall and 1.46 inches across, it is a big pistol by any measure.

If you're cross-shopping, the CZ P-07 is the polymer version of the same action, at 27.7 oz with a 3.75-inch barrel and the same 12 rounds, and its decocker and manual safety are interchangeable parts. The Glock G22 Gen5 holds 15 rounds at 28.43 oz on a 4.49-inch barrel with three magazines in the box, and being striker-fired it has no first-pull change to train around.

Best For

GOOD
Range/Target
A steel frame takes most of the sting out of a .40 case and the barrel is cold hammer forged, so a long session stays comfortable and the groups do not wander as the gun heats up.
GOOD
Competition
The decocked hammer gives a safe start position and every shot after the first is single action, while the rubber panels and the rail let the gun be set up for a light or a weight.
FAIR
Concealed Carry
An all-steel pistol over eight inches long is a lot to carry, and it needs a full-size holster and a belt built for it.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths
  • Night sights are fitted from the factory, so the pistol works in low light without a sight order.
  • The decocking lever is ambidextrous, so a left-handed shooter needs no parts replaced.
  • A steel frame gives the slide a harder surface to run on than an alloy or polymer frame does.
Limitations
  • There is no manual safety on this version, so carry depends on a decocked hammer and a holster that covers it.
  • With no optic cut, a red dot means paying a gunsmith to mill the slide.
  • It ships with rubber panels, so a different grip circumference means buying and fitting other panels.
