I have been looking at the sp01 p01 p10f and 75b. I am a lefty. Which ones do you guys recommend?

How soon are you planning to purchase? If ranges were open now, I'd advise finding one that has them to rent and see which one you like shooting the best. Otherwise, I don't think you can do much better than a classic 75B.

Taking my HQL at the end of the month. So end of June would be when I'm making the purchase. Gonna be going to a few ranges in the next week or so see what they have.

The SP-01 Tactical has an ambi decocker. It is also a fine handgun

I will second SP-01 as the first CZ although i got 75B SA as my first CZ.

For what purpose?

Range toy, home defense, concealed carry, other?

If you want to carry it; P01, PCR, or if you want subcompact, CZ-2075 RAMI.

For anything else, I'd agree with dontpanic. SP01 Tactical is probably the next purchase on my list.

Sorry forgot that part. Range toy and home defense. So looking like the sp01 is a big hit so far. Gotta find it in a store now to buy and shoot.

I don't see your location, but if you are near either of these... 2A Sales in Jessup and Baltimore's Best Pawn in Finksburg both usually have CZs in stock, and both are great people to deal with. If they don't have exactly what you want I'm sure they can get it.

Bigkach · May 21, 2020

I'm in reisterstown so not a bad drive to Finksburg. And jessup isn't far from my job.

SP01 Tactical is perfect for those purposes. Too heavy for a carry gun. I do remember the mags being about $50 each.

I dont think you can beat a 75B as step one. Classic lines, form and function usually some deals out there. Go from there.

I'd definitely be buying them outside of MD so I can get them in more than 10 rounds.

I panic bought all my mags before the Tyranny Act of 2013. Never even thought of having a 10 round CZ mag. What I was saying is expect to pay more for mags than for other handguns.

ah ok. That's what I have seen. Glock mags seem so cheap compared to Cz.

SkiPatrolDude · May 22, 2020

I see a lot of people endorsing the SP01 Tactical and for good reason. The best choice here, in my opinion.

For home defense I’d want to avoid any manual safety’s that might accidentally engage at the worst moment.

I have to say I am a BIG CZ fan.
The SP-01 is a fine firearm and you will have a good time at the range with it. See if you can get an out of state address and get some standard capacity 18 round mags.
The P-01 is a fine gun as well. If you get an older model you find one with an NSN number. These guns passed the NATO torture test and are fine carry guns and range guns. The Natural Point of aim on both will astound you if you haven't shot CZ before.

That being said don't be shy about the P-10 and the P-09. Rent them at a range and try them out. They are also a few of my favorites.
Once you get your CZ addiction in full swing, start checking out Cajun Gun Works to see how to make an awesome gun even better.

Any way you go, you can't go wrong.

Enjoy and let us know what you choose.

All great advice, I would add that given the choice I would go with a PCR without the rail vs the P01. I love my P01 but the rail is a bit useless on a firearm that size and I generally dont keep lights on compacts. But its a preference item.

Might be a little strange, I still prefer my P-01 to my PCR, even though I will never mount a thing to that rail.

Which cz should I get for my first gun?
