I desired the heavier CZ SP-01 after shooting one with a member here who had one as I was shooting my "new" CZ 75 B Omega: I was able to be more accurate with his SP-01 Tactical.
There was a 36 oz vs. a 40 oz difference and a 16 round vs. an 18 round difference. I can really feel the 4 oz. difference; I didn't care about magazine size, but still I think it's cool!
A member here sent me a link to gunbroker with a CZ SP-01 Tactical for sale, and I went for it. I still can't believe my affinity for the CZ, it is rare that I find a gun I really want to keep b/c of the sheer joy it brings me.
I got it today right before 6 pm closing time, and I was so busy with a 6am Mens Breakfast, 9am rehab (for new hip), 11am range trip (shot my CC S/W 642 hammerless snubbie at 20', and my Glock 42, and then had a blast with some .22LR semi-autos., then got oil changed at 12:30 and then spent the afternoon with the wife looking at 4 types of SUVs (spent all evening doing research b/c she wants the Honda CR-V, not the Toyota Rav4 like I do b/c of a REAL tranny and not these disposable CVTs).
She get to choose her car this time and has veto power since I've been buying the "most value for the dollar car" over our last 45 yrs.
She's really never cared much, but later I hear of her displeasure, and I always say, "Why didn't you speak up?" This time it's on her. Of course, she knows better than to buy certain cars which will go nameless.
Before supper I was able to go pick up the gun, and at first blush: I'm delighted.
Hope to shoot it tomorrow, but I might have to be looking at CR-Vs all day long.
