Why This Beats Other CA-Compliant Handguns
The steel-frame construction gives the CZ 75 SP-01 CA Compliant superior recoil management compared to polymer alternatives. The low bore axis and ergonomic grip angle provide natural pointability – something I’ve tested extensively on our 100-yard range here in Spring, TX. While the Gen 3 Glock 17 meets the CA roster, it lacks the refined trigger and sight package of the CZ.
