Built from the ground up by CZ Custom, the CZ A01-LD represents a competition-focused evolution of the Shadow series. Designed with input from experienced shooters and engineered for consistent performance, this full-size 9mm semi-automatic pistol combines classic CZ 75 ergonomics with purpose-driven enhancements. Its hammer-forged, CNC-machined frame features a durable blued finish, a heavy dust cover to help reduce recoil and muzzle rise, and a deep beavertail for a secure, comfortable shooting grip. The undercut trigger guard, raised checkering, and internal magwell further support fast, controlled handling during competition use.
The CZ A01-LD is built around a carefully tuned trigger system. The hammer and sear are directly pinned into the frame to help maintain consistent trigger performance, while the CZ 85 Combat-style trigger provides a short, positive reset. Double-action and single-action operation give shooters flexibility across different stages and shooting situations. A manual safety adds an additional layer of control, and the ergonomic frame design helps promote a natural point of aim and repeatable grip placement.
The slide is CNC-machined from 4140 bar stock and includes front and rear cocking serrations for reliable manipulation. CZ Custom low-mount sights pair a fiber-optic front sight with a competition-ready sight picture for fast target acquisition. A cold hammer-forged, match-grade bull barrel made from 416 stainless steel supports accuracy and durability, while the black finish delivers a practical, understated appearance. Chambered in 9mm and compatible with the higher-capacity P-09, P-07, and P-10 magazine platform, the A01-LD includes two 19-round magazines. The CZ Custom A01-LD, Part Number 91731, is a specialized choice for shooters seeking a refined competition pistol with robust construction, responsive controls, and proven CZ ergonomics.
