The CZ Custom A01-LD is a competition pistol chambered in 9mm, built as an evolution of the CZ Shadow series. It has a heavy steel dust cover and 19-round capacity.
The A01-LD comes from CZ Custom in Mesa, Arizona, and it's an evolution of the Shadow series. It pairs classic CZ 75 ergonomics with features built for competition, and it's competition-ready out of the box.
The A01-LD was introduced in 2019. The 'A' honors Angus Hobdell, CZ Custom's CEO and a competitive shooter, who designed the pistol.
This is the base configuration in 9mm. The frame is hammer forged and CNC machined, with a heavy full-length dust cover that helps reduce recoil and muzzle rise. It has a deep beavertail, an undercut trigger guard and 25 lines-per-inch checkering, with an internal magwell for smooth reloads.
The barrel is just under 5 inches long. The trigger is double action and single action, with a single-action pull of about 3 to 3.5 pounds and a short reset. The trigger has a clearly defined break. An ambidextrous thumb safety is fitted instead of a decocker.
Capacity is 19+1, and the pistol ships with two 19-round steel magazines. Sights are a fiber optic front with a low-mount serrated rear. The pistol measures 8.6 inches long and 1.47 inches wide, and the finish is blued.
If you shoot competition and like the feel of a CZ 75, the A01-LD is a custom shop gun that's ready to use without further work. It's a pistol with a clear purpose, and it was designed by someone who competes with it.
