Beretta PX4 vs CZ P01

[@TheBRIZZA82]

I’m a CZ P01 guy. Great video man thanks for the comparison

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks for watching Brad. Can't go wrong with the P01. Like I said in my video, the CZ grip is one of my favorite. Feels wonderful in the hand.

[@davidbryan5203]

I absolutely love my CZ P01. Its one of the easiest guns I own to shoot accurately. The grip angle, low bore axis, and contouring all make it extremely comfortable and low recoiling. The all metal construction is very nice as well. A few things to note which I learned after some time spent with my P01: After roughly 500 rounds the trigger really begins to wear in. It becomes more consistent, smoother, and more crisp. Dry fire will help speed this process up, just keep in mind that its a good idea to pre-emptively replace the firing pin retaining pin every 1500-2000 rounds. The trick is that dry fire hammer strikes do count towards this total and should be kept track of. A set of thin Lok G10 grips are a life changing addition to any P01. The factory rubber grips are nice but begin to move around some with age, and can be very slick when wet. The Lok G10 grips solve those problems. The textures are great and the thin profile made the longer than normal CZ length of pull much more manageable. Mec-Gar make some of the best P01 magazines on the market and are significantly cheaper than CZ branded mags. I've been casually eyeing a PX4 Storm Compact for quite some time now and will likely end up purchasing one soon. I love the rotating barrel design and think the PX4 Storm deserves a chance to prove itself. I will definitely have to upgrade it to a "G" model decocker only though as I believe that 99% of the time a safety has no place on a defensive EDC handgun. Finally if you fall in love with your P01, as I expect you will, you really should check out the CZ P07/P09 as a cheaper, polymer framed, DA/SA option. After purchasing a P07 I tend to use my P01 as a weekend warrior/fair weather safe queen, and let the P07 do most of the dirty work. The P07/P09's polymer frame and more modern slide coating makes the handgun significantly more "rugged" than the P01, and if/when you do manage to damage a P07/P09; they're 20-25% cheaper than most P01s which makes the damage much easier to stomach.

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks for watching David! And for all the insightful information as well. I need to smooth out the trigger on my P01 a little more with some shooting. Had to do the same with my SP01. Luckily CZ provided some snapcaps with the SP01 so I was able to dry fire it quite a bit. I hope to someday get my hands on either a P07/09. Probably the 07 for its smaller size, since it would be a carry pistol. For my body frame it is harder for me to conceal a longer slide.

[@ResplendentRaider]

I got my P01 cerakoted so I’m not concerned about the finish. Just hit the 600 rd mark and it has been flawless. I also have the P07 but haven’t spent a ton of time with it, think it has 450 rds through it, its a safe queen for now. It has had a few malfunctions but they could have been ammo related.

[@IronInsightFirearms]

Pretty sure the cold hammer forged barrel helps a lot with accuracy too

[@HalfCrazy520]

It's not trigger creep in the P-01, it's the hammer camming back. watch the hammer as you pull the trigger, you'll see. When my grandson got his carry permit, I opened the safe and said, "Pick one". Of course, he picked the CZ P-01 w/Dawson night-sights and LOK Palm-Swell grips. Now I need to get another P-01.

[@texmexshoots]

Interesting, thanks for the info. That was a mighty generous gift to your grandson! I'm sure he appreciates it very much. But yes, you do need to replace it now. 😁

[@LVbibby]

I am a big CZ guy and love the P-01! I am looking at the PX4 and the new Langdon Tactical SD version with and optic cut and flat trigger seems amazing.

[@texmexshoots]

I've heard nothing but good things about the Langdon Tactical version. I'm sure it will shoot like a dream. When it comes to Beretta and CZ, you can't go wrong with either pistol.

[@Subtlenimbus]

CZ barrels don’t tilt up when they unlock from the slide. Instead, they start with the chamber higher than the muzzle - pointing down slightly, which is why the rear sight is so much higher than the front sight. When the barrel unlocks, the chamber end drops down so that the barrel becomes parallel to the slide. This helps prevent some muzzle rise during recoil, because the barrel doesn’t flip up at high speed.

[@DrRichMahogany]

You would not believe the stupidity I seen on a video earlier today. Some dude said that the CZ had a browning tilting action 🤦🏿‍♂️ and a whole mess of people liked it.. same with the Jericho.

[@texmexshoots]

So it tilts but starts from a lower angle and basically tilts to parallel? Fascinating, I appreciate the info. I could see how that would help with the angle of the recoil. Especially in conjunction with the low bore axis.

[@2agunguy5]

[@suprateam1933]

...PX4 FOR LIFE ! 🥂

[@volbrenYT]

If you're going to do aftermarket upgrades - you go with the P01 so you can "Cajunize" it, aka upgrading the trigger, hammer, springs, short reset etc. If you're not going to do any upgrades or put another $400-600 into the gun, just go with the Px4. I mention Cajunize for P01, but this is just the term for a Cajun Gun Works build, you could technically buy a CZ Custom job too, but ultimately the idea is the same.

[@texmexshoots]

I've heard nothing but good reviews from Cajun Gun Works. Sounds like they can make the CZ trigger amazing. But like you say, the upgrades aren't cheap.

[@misgoldman]

you might know CZ, but you don't know Beretta....Langdon is the CGW of the Beretta world only better.

[@volbrenYT]

@@misgoldmanOh I think LTT is amazing! However, and I think this is a good thing - the PX4 doesn't really need it as much as the P01 does. A stock PX4 has a better trigger out of the box than P01.

[@clayton5584]

The P-01 triggers can be pretty bad it's easy to polish up some of the contact points but the only way get rid of all the creep is by replacing the hammer with an aftermarket one.

[@russi1743]

​@volbrenYT p-01 omega stock has just as good trigger as px4 stock... you can find p-01 for 550 and spend another 250 on the cajun trigger kit... that makes it an even better gun for under 900

[@weissrw1]

I had both guns. I ended up selling the CZ compact -- but I kept a full-size CZ75-BD. I carry the compact PX4 in my car. I have a full size in the bedroom. I have converted both to decocker only. The conversion takes 15 minutes each if you have the punches. You just remove a little ball-bearing.

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks for watching! The decocker conversion seems to be very popular with the PX4. And it's good to know that it's quite a simple process to change it out.

[@_Jashawuh]

Awhile back I sold I was in the market for a new gun and it was down to the CZ 75 P01 and the PX4 Storm.. It was a really hard decision. For me it came down to something silly.. I live in kansas and work in KC and the CZ has Kansas City Kansas stamped onto the slide. Between Langdon and Cajun Gun Works both guns can be made really really nice.

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks for watching. It is a difficult choice between the two. In the end it comes down to personal preference in the grips and controls. Like you said, both have great aftermarket support that can turn great pistols into amazing firearms.

[@HighCountryLiving]

Thanks for being thorough and repeating your tests to show consistency (or lack of), especially with the triggers (weight, reset, creep). Most guns have some variance from one pull to another and I like to know the extent of the variance. Keeping in mind that each is a sample size of one for their respective models.

[@texmexshoots]

Very true. Some people claim that their CZ came from the factory with no creep. That has not been my experience, but like you say, I have a sample size of one. Well two if you count my SP01 that had the same creep. I suspect it will smooth out over time.

[@mjbalice]

I am a CZ fan. The PX4 Storm is the only non-CZ pistol I would consider.

[@texmexshoots]

They are both great pistols in their own way. You can't go wrong with either.

[@chuckoaks6756]

The transition between double to single takes quite a bit of practice. I shoot my p01 that way because that's the way I carry it. The grip angle on it is natural for me. I wish the grip was just a little narrower but I shoot it just fine.

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks for watching Chuck! I agree that the transition does take practice. That's why I always recommend to people to practice with their self defense firearm often.

The storm's trigger can be made to have one of the best you have ever used by a simple and cheap drop in trigger from LTT. Very easy to do yourself. The CZ even when upgraded by a professional will never have a trigger as good as the ltt px4 trigger. That said, i still shoot the cz better even with its terrible reset. Something about it makes it such an easy gun to shoot.

Thanks for watching Alfonso! Mine does not have the Omega trigger but I agree with your assessment. The Beretta's trigger is better out of the box but you can't beat CZ's grip.

[@Sirgromulus]

I concur, except I would (and did) choose the standard version over the Omega since its trigger can be tuned for better performance. A moot point since the Omega version (along with several other of their Omega version hammer fired guns) was discontinued last year.

@@Sirgromulus Thanks for the info! I didn't know they were discontinuing the Omega line. I thought they were also discontinuing the 527 but I still see they on their website

[@marcelsvitalsky8993]

Alarm! Alarm! Someone on the Internet is wrong! And that someone is you. 😉 Neither of these guns uses delayed blowback, both of them have barrel locked into the slide. Those are two different things. Simple blowback starts opening immediately and only relies on the slide inertia (and perhaps spring resistance a little, but that's usually negligible) to have enough time for the bullet to leave the barrel before too much of the cartridge case is exposed to high pressure; delayed blowback also starts to open immediately, however the slide movement is slowed by some other mechanism besides simple inertia (usually some kind of lever or rollers or gas piston &c.) whilst locked systems do not start open immediately, the barrel is locked into the slide and travels with it for some time with the chamber entirely closed, and only after unlocking it begins to open. Otherwise very nice video and thanks for it. I own CZ P-01 Ω-which has somewhat improved trigger over non-Ω version-my primary carry piece for some time, and also Grand Power P-40 (in 10 mm Auto) witch uses rotating barrel similarly to the Beretta PX4 and I like both the systems. Greetings from Prague, Czechia.

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks for the info Marcel! Once again I use the wrong terminology. 😅 I tried to do proper research of the terms before making the video but I guess I got it wrong anyway. I was attempting to show the differences between the more popular locking system with a tipping barrel vs. rotating. I appreciate you watching the video. I actually had the pleasure to visit Prague back in 1997 while studying for a summer in Austria. Such a beautiful city and hope to visit again someday. Take care and best wishes from Texas!

Both are top shelf, can't go wrong. Out of the box, the nod goes to the CZ. The PX4 needs a few things (I think new released PX4s address these issues).

Does the Px4 have the half-cock position like the CZ?, also can the CZ be put in safety at the half-cock position?

On the PX4 with the Safety/Decocker, it does have somewhat of a "half-cock" position, in witch the main spring has been compressed a little. However It does not take any of the weight off from the double action trigger, it only shortens the pull. As for the CZ, if it is the decocker version (no safety), the hammer falls to the half-cock position when decocked. In the version with the manual safety, you can carry it cocked and locked.

The cz has its drawbacks like spring breaking or the rod breaking if you dry fire too much but that’s all I can think of. They’re about the same price.

I have both pistols. When you check the trigger pull on the CZ you have to set the hammer using the decocker because it only lowers the hammer 2/3 of the way down unlike the PX4. That should reduce the trigger pull weight and give you a more accurate measurement. Also a better comparison to the px4 would have been the P07 which is polymer not alloy lower. Lastly your grip. Put yojr support thumb higher on the slide I especially with the px4. It will help prevent pulling left.

Glad to have posted it just in time! Thanks for watching.

[@takenusername]

I used to own a full-size PX4 It was a tack driver.

[@texmexshoots]

For some reason the reply I made 4 days ago disappeared. I would like to shoot a full size at some point to feel the difference between the compact.

[@AlecuSs93]

Is there a recoil difference?

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks AlecuSs93. To me the CZ feels a little better as far as recoil goes. But it isn't anything major.

[@vincentj3093]

My advice it get both

[@texmexshoots]

And that there is the right answer.

[@Wesblumarine]

Looks like you’re pretty dangerous with both! Lol. Nice vid. Thank you.

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. They are great pistols.

[@Michael-u9p1l]

I’m a CZ guy all the way, but I do want to own a Beretta.

[@texmexshoots]

I can certainly understand that sentiment. I love CZs, but growing up in the 80s made me really love the Beretta 92 series. Although the PX line is not as good looking as the 92s, they are good pistols with a great track record.

[@donlee157]

px4 looks weird, somehow can not forget its shape in my mind, I think it can compare with p 07. nice video!

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks, I appreciate you watching! The PX4 if a unique looking pistol. Somewhat futuristic. I am considering getting a P07. But I'm just not sure if I can justify the expense.

[@WillSmith-wg4hs]

I have the CZ myself and love it. Would have liked to have seen the trigger weights from the decock position. The CZ I know drops the hammer to half cock.

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks for watching Will! Sorry I didn't think to do that particular trigger weight.

[@Matteo-ks6fn]

CZ are gorgeous and this one is even more but Berry to me.

[@texmexshoots]

I agree. CZ makes some beautiful pistols. Very sleek with nice contours.

[@Matteo-ks6fn]

I loved also Tanfoglio clones, the TZ Series, especially the unlucky .41 Cinderella: the GT41 Pitbull.

Grand power dose this with one of their pistols, although the name escapees me right now😅

[@texmexshoots]

Interesting! I just checked out their website. Never heard of them before.

[@maxfit68906]

Beretta. Better gripping surface on the slide, unique rotating barrel, stronger firing pin.

[@texmexshoots]

Is the firing pin stronger? Was unaware, but to be fair I never researched the metallurgy or construction of the firing pin or other components.

[@maxfit68906]

@@texmexshootsDry firing without a snap cap in the CZ’s are prohibited. One of the few weak links in the CZ hammer fired guns. Stellar firearm nonetheless.

[@texmexshoots]

@@maxfit68906 Good to know! I had my suspicion since my SP01 came with CZ snap caps in the case. Don't recall if the P01 came with some as well.

[@brianc0019]

The comparison should’ve been between the P-07 vs PX4

[@texmexshoots]

Yeah, that's fair. Unfortunately I do not presently own or have access to a P07

[@JahIthBer-db2ij]

Which one shoots flatter?

[@texmexshoots]

Since they both have similar barrel size, the ballistics/trajectory should be the same out of both pistols.

[@JahIthBer-db2ij]

@@texmexshoots Is recoil comparable? Could you say which was less jumpy?

[@texmexshoots]

@@JahIthBer-db2ij The recoil is very even between the two, but to me, the CZ felt less jumpy in my hand. Although I think for me it has more to do with the grip and how I hold each pistol in my hand while shooting.

The CZ has less muzzle flip because of low slide...Beretta has low flip because of rotating barrel. Now if we could just make a handgun that had BOTH features.

[@texmexshoots]

I did see on "Forgotten Weapons" a video on the Glock 46 which is made for some German PD contracts that has a rotating barrel.

[@zebrobson2639]

I love my 92fs, and Beretta. But for compact? P01 hands down! So much better. The original cougar was better than the px series.

[@texmexshoots]

Not sure why my responses to you keep disappearing, but I am a big fan of the old cougars as well. Had one in 40s&w and wish I had gotten one in 9mm.

[@bryantTheFatBadger]

Both excellent, but the P01 (especially omega) is the my preference. IMO the trigger is better, and the grip is lightyears better than the PX4. That said, a Langdon Tactical variant with all the goodies, and aftermarket stippling might give the edge to the PX4, but you're talking about a $2,500 investment at that point, and I'd rather spend that money on a 4" DS 1911.

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks for watching Bryant. I think that is a good assessment of the pros and cons of both pistols. Take care and stay safe.

[@mani1357mani]

I've shot both these guns, I like the CZ outlook but I shot better with the Beretta. But that's just me and I'm not the best shot with 9mm semi. Yet.😅

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks for watching. So you really hated the PX4? What was your major complaint with it? The P01 is an amazing pistol.

[@Silentskip001]

I’d disagree. I don’t think that there is a gun out there that shoots flatter than a Px4 9mm.

[@adamkaminski]

CZ and Beretta are two solid companies that make very good and reliable guns. You can't go wrong with both. That being said, I would choose P01, but with the omega trigger version.

Both are great guns but the PX4 is a bit bulky. If you're carrying for long periods of time the CZ is going to be more comfortable.
