The new generation of CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow pistol was especially adapted from the CZ75 SP01 in accordance from suggestions proposed by users from practical pistol competition, law enforcement and military communities worldwide, with an additional input from Angus Hobdell and the CZ Shooting Team.

In a world that has a plentiful supply of nine millimeter service pistols, in order to launch a new model on an overcrowded market place it must be an innovative pistol. The Slovakian X-Calibur 9mm Grand Power polymer framed pistol is based on the earlier K100 design and offers ambidextrous controls, good ergonomics and a unique design with its rotating barrel for high accuracy. The Grand Power factory is located in the Slovakian town of Banská Bystrica and the X-Calibur has been designed specifically for IPSC Production Division.
