ASG CZ-75 SP-01 Shadow, CO2 Full-Metal BB Pistol

Realism, I have shot quite a few CZ variations and it absolutely looks and feels like the real deal. The finish is much more durable than some of the negative reviews. The trigger is awesome in single action- light crisp, and perfect... and very good in double action too! There is nothing about it that gives you the impression of cost cutting. Take down and operation mimic the real deal. This is one of the best replica's out there, don't be fooled by a couple bad reviews. That trigger in single action helps with accuracy, its so light and crisp, and the sights are fantastic too. Very accurate. Average power, but I didn't buy it for power. Get a real one if you want power. This is a training tool, and a hell of a lot of fun as a plinker too.

The magazine design would be better served to have open bottom access to the CO2 screw, but it's design makes it look more real. However removing the buttplate requires a pen or something with a nice hard tip to remove before you can access the CO2 allen screw. Not a total pain in the rear, but one extra step.

This gun is accurate, quiet to shoot, and good on CO2. I think I got about 80 shots or more on my first CO2, lost count. Since I shoot real CZ's I can attest to the authenticity of its design, its weight and build are marvelous. The negative user reviews can be deceiving, take them with a grain of salt. I let a close friend shoot it too, he has two CZ's and absolutely loved it. Feels the same as myself. Take care of it and you don't have to worry about the finish, near perfection!

Avg. review here sets the wrong tone, this is a much better pistol than the review average. The realism of this gun hits you immediately, before you open the box. The weight of it alone tells you of the quality. Out of the box I'm amazed how close this is to my real SP-01. Everything about it is high quality metal build, with a beautiful flat black finish. The magazine is hefty, built like a tank and drops out like the real deal. The trigger in double action is typical double action, in single action be prepared to be amazed. It is so light and crisp it breaks like a custom trigger, and the reset click is audible and delicious. The slide is ultra smooth, and the slide release feels perfect. Ambi-safety, the same, very nice stuff here. Accuracy is just fine out of the box, so is the power. This is a genuine CZ trainer first, a plinker second. Expect nothing more and you will not be disappointed in any way. IT'S FANTASTIC!

A catch to hold the BB slider would be nice, but not necessary. The release button for the base plate of the magazine requires a pointed object like a pen to push in so it can be removed, so keep this in mind. I'd change nothing else, the price of this pistol is far superseded by it's realism and quality. It feels like you just purchased a real CZ 75 Shadow.

There is no way to convey the quality of this pistol in a video or written review. You have to have one in your hands to understand. Side by side with a real CZ-75 SP-01 Shadow, it's hard to tell the difference from the real thing. I'm totally impressed and regret hesitating to get one because of the avg. review here on Pyramyd Air. This is a 4.5-5 star pistol all the way. Don't hesitate!

Looks great, good hand feel and weight. Accurate to 21 feet. I love the grips!

Gas management - only gets about 2 magazines per cartridge. (34 bb's) Pretty bad, actually. Evan my heavy-recoil Swiss Arms Sig X-Five gets about 40 - 60 bb's per cartridges The extended grip at the bottom of the magazine is clunky. Two release points and a loose rattle isn't pleasing. A single pressure release that was positive and didn't rattle would be good. Awkward when cahnging the gas, which is far too necessary.

Disregard coments about the finish not being durable. This is a beautiful example of a CZ.
