Especially the CZ Custom shop variety. I just snagged my second one from the CZ Custom, a 75 Compact with alloy frame and a safety. It has Heine straight eight sights, an awesome trigger, and three 14 round magazines. Apparently the CZ Compact in this configuration is pretty rare, most being steel frame versions. Very light and would make an awesome carry piece. Though I probably will use it more as range piece. The other one I have owned for a few years is a SP01 Shadow Custom. It is all steel so pretty hefty piece. But virtually no recoil in 9mm. Shoots very nicely and also has a sweet trigger. They both are ergonomic and pretty handsome pieces IMO. Hope you like the new one!
Sure does look like the PCR frame, only with safety instead of decoker. I'll check my Shadow target and see if they have the distance. I'm a member on the CZ forum, I'll ask about that.
I'd love to have a steel framed compact. I have a pair of Compact Custom L models from the custom shop, there was a limited run a few years ago, and a P-01. They are sweet shooters. I want one of the "Orange" models.

Very nice pistols! I have a CZ75 that I love to shoot. I'd like to pick up a SP-01 eventually just to round out my collection.
My dad bought a CZ75, then quickly followed up with a TS in .40, then a CZ97. I've got to say, the CZ97 has got to be the softest shooting .45 I have ever got my hands on. Although I would hate to carry it. It must weigh 10 pounds fully loaded.

CZ PCRs are awesome. Financed one for my son's graduation; his first firearm purchase. Shot so well, wife and daughters loved it so had to get a family PCR. Put some VZ G-10s and stainless guide rods, along with the rubber bumpers for the OEM mags, 16 rd mags as well.... 500+ flawless rds later on each, the triggers got even better!!

I almost bought a TS Orange instead. Came very close.
Not quite as light but in reality little difference between the two. No distance on this target either, I'm still trying to confirm. Looks like Mr. Zinn did the honors on both of these.

CZ is fast becoming my favorite pistol brand. Their "bang" for your buck is unmatched in steel pistols. The Shadow 2 may be the bestest pistol in the world.
