Today we're going to talk about CZ Handguns and attempt to answer the question, why are they so popular? Many people on this channel love CZs. They are yet to lose a handgun showdown. They are the only manufacturer who has not lost a handgun showdown and I'm trying to come up with another manufacturer who will compete well with CZ. Others competed well but nobody beat CZ. So they're popular and a lot of people love them. We're going to establish that today. I came up with five, six, seven reasons why CZs are popular. They're outstanding handguns and we're going to head over to the table and check that out and you can let me know if you agree with my choices. CZ handguns are so well built. They're known for reliability and longevity. Many shooters will tell you they have thousands of rounds through their CZ handguns and it's still functioning like a well-oiled machine. The manufacturing tolerances limits the recoil. When shooting a CZ it is so smooth there is no doubt about that. They are extremely smooth shooters and then you add some weight on top of it like these metal frame models I'm showing right now. Here's the Shadow 2. It not only limits the recoil within the manufacturing however the weight also limits the recoil making it extremely accurate. Here's an all steel frame Shadow 2. Here's the all steel frame SP01 and then even the aluminum frame Rami feels like a full-size handgun when firing and it is nice. Known for being incredibly smooth shooters the CZ models they're amongst the best out there and that is why they are so often copied. Love it. You often hear people say the CZ 75 has a very low bore axis and what that means is that the shooter's hand is very close in relation to the slide and the barrel. Why is that? That's because CZ uses a reverse slide rail design. If we look here the slide just moves like glass but if we take a closer look you can see how the frame just hugs the rail on the slide and what's the advantage there? You're looking at a lesser degree of muzzle flip. Less muzzle flip keeps the shooter on target and that's why so many people love the CZ design because the ability to stay on target means so much for quick follow-up shots for transitioning between target to target the less muzzle flip the better the more accurate it is and this design right here with the slide rail system creating a low bore axis certainly helps in that regard. Yeah I love this handgun. The ergonomics on the CZ pistols feel great when gripping. They fit most hand sizes whether it's a polymer frame model or the metal frame models people love the way the CZ feels and that is important but equally important are the triggers. Here we have the shadow two and people rave about the trigger here. The single action is at three and a half pounds and it resets right there. That single action trigger is amazing and the double action is really nice but let's take a look at a poly model polymer frame P10S and we will see this has a five pound trigger does have a trigger bar safety right there but a very nice crisp trigger pull with a very short reset. People rave about the CZ triggers and that is why they are so smooth so nice and once again it adds to accuracy and people love accurate handguns and CZ is among the best. Yeah that's a great shooting handgun. Shooters love choices they like to have the options that will suit their carry style their shooting style whatever CZ certainly offers that. If we look at the SP01 and the thumb safety design it's can be carried and cocked and locked and it's very much a common platform for 1911 shooters you simply drop that thumb safety and you are in single action. Nice design a lot of people like that they prefer a thumb safety nothing happening there drop and you could fire away in single action. They also have a decocking design right here in the SP01 Phantom as well as many others it decocks the hammer into a quarter cock which allows the shooter to not have a full double action pull like a partial double action pull compared to a full double action pull where I'm feeling tension right there compared to right there and I think that also provides a safety for anybody who would carry that but if we look at some of their polymer frames CZ you know they they have some frame colors flat dark earth and so forth that people love they like to suit their own personality they have optic ready handguns that are so popular these days they've offered them on many other models especially the polymer frame models and shooters are loving that so the options the choices are out there with the various types of handguns that CZ have a lot of people say I want a CZ handgun I want to fit me perfectly and they can certainly find that in the CZ line of pistols see how the SP01 does CZ offers a large variety of handguns all shapes and sizes you name it CZ produces it and I think people love once again options and choices to suit them I'm going to roll through what I have and you can let me know if you you like my collection we'll start right here with the CZ Shadow 2 love this handgun a lot of people compete with it over here we've got the SP01 all steel frame over here we've got the SP01 Phantom same design pretty much with the exception this is a polymer frame model the uppers will work with each other CZ 2075 Rami unfortunately they have a limited production on that right now but this this little subcompact gun is so nice feels like a full-size handgun CZ P10C and the CZ P10S they now make a CZ P10M a single stack 9 millimeter handgun that is very small and we'll see what CZ comes up with in the future but they do have a large variety they offer various options for the shooters and I think if you're picky enough where you can't find a CZ handgun to suit you then the problem is with you because they certainly have it if you like videos like this please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe
