CZ AO1-SD Optics Ready Semi-Automatic Pistol 9mm Luger 4.9" Barrel (2)-19Rd Magazines Fiber Optic Front Sight Black Finish
Built from scratch at CZ Custom, the A01 is the evolution of the Shadow series as Angus would have done it. The frame is the star of the show and is hammer-forged, CNC-machined and then blued. Very obvious is its massively heavy dustcover which kills both recoil and muzzle rise. With a deep beavertail, undercut trigger guard, raised 25 LPI checkering and an internal magwell, it combines classic CZ 75 ergonomics with purpose-driven features ideal for competition. To ensure that the trigger is up to snuff, both the hammer and the sear are directly pinned in the frame to solidify trigger pull consistency. DA pull weight is from 8-8.5 lbs while SA clocks in at 3-3.5 lbs . The SD features the CZC Ghost Competition hammer, CZC short reset disconnector, CZC 85 gunsmith trigger, CZC extended firing pin, and fiber optic front sight. The short dustcover offers a balance that is more in the hand and offers quick target transitions. The slide is CNCed from 4140 bar stock and features front and rear serrations and the Icing on the cake is a 4.925" Match-grade bull barrel made from 416 stainless steel. Built for the higher capacity P-09/P-07/P-10 magazine platform, the A01-SD ships with two 19-round P-09 magazines.

The 9mm Luger (9X19mm, Parabellum, P08) was developed in Germany in 1902. Widely used in both world wars, it is the most popular pistol cartridge in the world, now widely used by innumerable law enforcement agencies and militaries (including our own) in both pistols and submachineguns. The controversy over its "stopping power" will never go away, but its attribute is that it is much easier to shoot accurately than larger cartridges with greater power...but more recoil. Advancements in bullet design for law enforcement and personal defense have narrowed the gap considerably. The 9mm Luger is a world standard, chambered by virtually all makers of semiautomatic pistols, with a myriad of factory loads. The most standard is probably a 115-grain load at 1160 fps, with common bullet weights ranging from 95 to 147 grains, and +P loads at higher velocity. — Craig Boddington
