Česká zbrojovka builds pistols in Uherský Brod in the Czech Republic, and its CZ 75 design, in production since 1975, is the root of a large family: the 75 B, SP-01, SP-01 Shadow, Shadow 2 and TS 2, plus the compact P-01, the CZ 85 and 97 and the Kadet .22 conversion. Beside it stand the polymer P-07, P-09 and P-10 and the Scorpion Evo. Most CZ owners who upgrade want one of three things: sights they see faster, a red dot, or a lighter trigger.
Sights
Factory CZ sights are fixed and plain. LPA supplies adjustable sets in three sight pictures, Night Fision and Angry Bear add tritium, Zendl adds its own sights, and there are separate fiber optic front sights in several widths for the CZ 75, P-01, 85 and 97. The SP-01 and the SP-01 Shadow take different sights, so check your exact model. See Sights for CZ.
A red dot
How the optic goes on depends on the slide. The Shadow 2 OR, Shadow 2 Compact OR and P-10 OR have a factory cut and take a plate from CZ itself or from Eemann Tech, Evo Arms, 2BME, KMR and others, for every common footprint; two Shadow 2 plates even carry a rear sight. The Holosun SCS P-10 and the Vector Optics Frenzy for the Shadow 2 OR sit in the cut with no plate at all. Plates and direct fit optics are collected in Optics ready plates for CZ. A slide without the cut keeps its factory finish: the dot rides on a mount that slides into the rear sight slot, made for the CZ 75 family, the Shadow line, the Kadet, the P-07 and P-09 and the P-10, all in Red dot mounts for CZ.
A lighter trigger and tuned internals
Eemann Tech in Estonia makes competition springs for CZ that change the pull without a new hammer or sear: reduced power trigger, trigger bar and sear springs, lighter main springs, and recoil springs by weight. On the P-10 the competition trigger bar set of two springs pulls roughly 2 kg together. There are kits for the CZ 75 family and the Scorpion Evo, a steel guide rod for the P-10F, a low profile safety that sits 3 mm lower and further forward, and a magnetic firing pin stop tool. See Springs for CZ, Guide rods for CZ, Safeties for CZ and Tools for CZ.
Training at home
For dry fire in virtual reality, Eemann Tech makes three CZ shaped frames that work with ACE XR on the Quest 3: VR frames for CZ.
Under By model in the menu, every CZ pistol has a page that filters this range down to what fits that gun.
Frequently asked questions
Does my CZ have an optics cut?
OR models, such as the Shadow 2 OR or P-10 OR, carry a removable cover ahead of the rear sight, and a plate goes in its place. A slide with just a rear sight and no cover plate calls for a dovetail mount instead.
Do Shadow 2 sights fit the SP-01 Shadow?
Not always. The sight cuts differ between models, so use the compatible list on each product page.
How much lighter will the trigger get?
It depends on which springs you change. The product page of each spring states its power, for example -15 % against the factory spring.
How fast do you ship?
An order in before 8 AM CET on a weekday is on its way that day; after that, it goes the following weekday.
