CZ SP-01 Competition Red & Blue pistols, the colors of passion

Adding a vibrant touch of color to its match guns, CZ USA introduces the new CZ SP-01 Competition Red & Blue pistols – actually, not two distinct models but the same gun with a choice of red or blue aluminum grips and +4 magazine base pads. 

Characterized by “match-ready upgrades and race-gun features” and based on its parent model, the SP-01, the pistol includes a competition hammer and exceptionally crisp, light trigger pull with a lightened 13 lb hammer spring. A lighter 11 lb recoil spring also enhances the SP-01 Competition Red & Blue's performance for running target loads.

CZ SP-01 Competition Red & Blue, sporty and reliable

The manufacturer makes no mystery of the new gun's ambitions: “The CZ SP-01 Competition Red & Blue pistols are the perfect pistol for any shooter who wants a tricked-out competition pistol out of the box or the casual gun owner that wants a reliable yet elegant match-ready handgun.”

The red or blue  custom aluminum grips are eye catchers and very sporty, no doubt. But the new SP-01 Competition Red & Blue pistols are not just appearance, featuring a 4.6”/117 mm cold hammer-forged barrel for enhanced accuracy and performance, a steel guide rod, a fiber optic front sight and serrated rear sight. 

The slide has front and rear cocking serrations for easier manipulation. Color-matching mag bases add four extra rounds to the SP-01 Competition Red & Blue's capacity, for a total ammo capacity of 21+1 rounds – which means fewer reloads and faster stage times.

Another useful detail, the grips design fits both left- and right-hand shooters, adding to the ambidextrous safety at the rear of the frame directly above the grip. The new pistol also have the indispensable under-barrel rail for the mounting of accessories.

MSRP for he new SP-01 Competition Red & Blue is $1305: two CZ nickel-plated magazines with extended aluminum +4 base pads are included.
