CZ P 07 & PX4 Compact Carry: Does PRICE really matter?

[@MDpolo]

I own both and choosing between them would be a difficult task. My P07 has the full Cajun magic done and the Beretta PX4 CC has Langdon's magic... If you pressed me to pick one - it would be the Beretta by a slim margin. In my hands it shoots flatter and less felt recoil. Having said that - I'd be happy with either. Thanks for the video!

[@Nitek09Z]

I have both as well and the main difference for me is how much easier the slide is to manipulate on the ltt px4 cc. Both fantastic firearms but the ltt trigger is considerably better than my full cajun pro kit p07. I do prefer the grip and ergos on the p07 even with the talons on the px4.

[@francostacy7675]

The Honest Outlaw sure makes a good case for the CZ and fires a lot of guns

[@danielrodriguez5463]

I own both The Beretta is superb, soft shooting, easy controls and if you drop a 11lbs hammer spring and an LTT trigger bar isn’t even a contest, the Px4 CC is the best polymer pistols/ trigger combo. Thanks for reviewing

[@emrebaykurt640]

CZ P07 is my EDC gun. You don’t have to make any modifications for the trigger or anything else.So it’s a better option in my opinion.It’s reliable,durable and very accurate.Thanks for the review.

[@tobylmiller]

Excellent video! The choice gets even more difficult because you don't need to spend $900 on the PX4 to get a very good shooter. I picked up the PX4 Inox Compact before the LTT Compact Carry was released for around $500, and while I am curious to see just how good the LTT trigger job in a bag is, I am extremely happy with the few, cheap mods I made: 1) lighter hammer spring, the LTT #11 chrome-silicone spring, 2) conversion to the Stealth lever decocker kit, and 3) Talon grips ...all very easy to accomplish on my own, with little/no experience. Good stuff.... and ABSOLUTELY LOVE my PX4 :)

Px4 for me! Less recoil, easy to dismantle, Italian flare in design (like their Ferraris and Lambos).

[@selfreliance1014]

I would pay the extra for the Beretta! Something about that gun is just mythical!!! However the CZ is a better value and more practical. But I would still go Beretta if I had to choose.

[@johnjohnston6066]

I paid $749 for a new PX4 Compact Carry, plus $35.00 shipping and $30.00 for transfer fee. Total $815.00. I paid $619 retail plus $55.00 sales tax for the PX4 Compact for my son. Total $674 for the PX4 Compact VS $815 for the Compact Carry. So for $141.00 difference. I'm happy with the price difference.

[@ossantheshooter]

One more thing to consider is reliability. I have no doubt the PX4 is very well made and reliable, but if I remember correctly the rotating barrel ate a lot of sand and mud during the MAC gauntlet test. The p07 did way better. But I have to admit I am a CZ fan and my edc is gripchopped p09 ;-) Anyway, many thanks for the video. Cheers from Prague, Czech Rep.

[@etebol]

The Yankee Marshall might have something to say bout that! LOL

[@truthwarrior2149]

I don't drop my gun in the mud and sand. In fact where I live, I don't even know where to find it. Hard to imagine a situation where I'm going to be out slogging in the mud and the sand and drop my gun like an idiot and then need to pick up my gun to shoot someone. I'm not fighting Indians on the Great Plains during a rainstorm. So I think the test they do is pretty ridiculous. It might have some utility to a Ukrainian Soldier. But for those 90% of us who are going to Compact Carry in an urban environment, the test is completely irrelevant. That being said, I love cz's but not for that reason.

I’ve got both except my P07 is cajunized. Both are superb, although if I had to pick one it would be the compact carry. It’s a superb gun and is slightly better for CCW (it’s my summer EDC) and has a smoother trigger pull. Even cajunized the P07s DA can have a few kinks in it.

[@stephanie_beth]

Really enjoyed your video, have been curious about them, liked the comparison. Great information about both. Love your channel/content.

[@waynekelly1419]

I have a CZ P-01 Omega and love the gun. I have ordered a LTT Beretta PX-4 Storm CC 2 and I’m waiting for delivery by my FFL. I can’t wait to get both out to the range to compare them. Gotta say the reviews and SA action on the LTT Beretta PX4 CC2, the rotating barrel, and the LTT upgrades are what prompted me to spend $$$ on the Beretta. Those as well, and aside from, already owning a Beretta 92 FX and a Beretta 80X Chetah .380 and based on Beretta quality I wanted to add another fine Beretta to the collection.

[@MadMarlo13]

I've had a px4 full size and sub compact. They were reliable and fun. However, I got a p07 and it is way more accurate at least in my hands. Love the way it feels in my hand. P07 all the way!!

[@-RM-]

Follow up since last comment: I have since purchased 2 Beretta PX4 Storm Compacts (1 inox, 1 bruniton, both "G" models, not LTT "Compact Carry" versions). I don't have a lot of range time with these yet, but I am incredibly impressed with the PX4! And that's without the LTT goodies you get with the Compact Carry model. I've handled and shot the P-07 in the past but I have not inspected or shot both pistol models side by side. I may pick up a P-07 at some point but I doubt the ergos will be as good for me as they are on the PX4.

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

Both firearms are very nice. Only time I get to shoot a PX4 is when my friend brings it to the range and I enjoy the moment. CZ speaks for itself.

[@miguelbooth5826]

i did the MCarbo kit thing to my P07 with a little bit of polishing. After 400 rounds and using the Lyman gauge I get consistent trigger pulls on decock of under 7 pounds. The single action is just over 2 pounds. Great performance for the money.

[@rangersmith4652]

I love my CZ-75s, and in this case I'd take the P07 for the heavier DA trigger and its better looks. The PX4 has to be the most homely gun I've ever seen. Aesthetics don't matter for a carry semi-auto, I suppose, and that's why I carry Glocks.

[@puzer1]

...if only the PX4 didn't look like a Yeet Cannon, it's poor aesthetics wouldn't matter as much...

[@SectionChief]

I’ve owned both. The P07 is more versatile than the PX4 compact. P07 has more options to get optic cut, can be a suppressor host, has more magazine availability (same as p10c), can utilize full size weapon mounted lights, has more holster options, easier to change iron sights, and so on. PX4 is a capable competitor and if range of accessories, upgrades, etc is not a need for you, then it’s just as good as P07.

[@scooter5940]

I picked up a Compact Carry about two years ago for roughy $750 (actually, I looked at my records and it was $650!) - one of the large retailers was running a significant sale on them. I loved the gun and shot it well, but I ultimately sold it. It was a bit bigger and chunkier than I wanted to carry, and I didn’t need another home defense pistol. Not saying you can’t conceal the PX-4, but for me in SW Florida, it was more than I wanted. At what I paid for it, considering what it comes with out of the box, it was a good value. Only thing, besides size, I did not like was the stealth-decocker. Too hard to activate, but you could easily replace it with a thicker lever. Only CZ I have is a Scorpion PCC, but I’ll have to pick up one of their handguns eventually - hear such great things about them.

[@markhimmer2856]

Gteat video comparing the 2! I carried a Beretta M-9 and trained others on it for 15 years in the USAF. I own a CZ-75B Omega and love it...Best pistol I've owned! I recently got rid of a Sig P320 AXG Carry (all metal - LEO edition) as it was too heavy for CCW. I love CZ's and hammer fire, so I purchased a CZ P-07 and upgraded with Talon Grips, a CGW SS guiderod/spring so far and have it at the local gunsmith to have a set of Dawson sights and an M-Carbo springbkit installed, along with smoothing the internal parts! It should be another tack-driver CZ!!! Thanks for your videos! 👍

[@1776orbust]

Thanks for watching

[@hailtothe_rooster1572]

I’ve got more p07’s than px4’s but I’ve got a lot more berettas than I do CZ’s. The omega triggers leave more to be desired compared to other CZ’s BUT if you actually get to shoot it instead of finger banging it at home it gets significantly better. Personally I don’t like to change factory internals on carry guns. If it’s duty proven that’s good enough to leave it alone. At over 3k on one of my p07s it feels as smooth although slightly heavier DA than the SIG srt triggers.

[@1776orbust]

I've run a few hundred rounds through the p07 before the spring kit and the sa was pretty good then. I'm looking forward to running both side by side....more to come for sure

[@Rnemhrd]

Both stock the Beretta. I don't like the slide on CZs. It honestly doesn't have a lower bore axis. Visual illusion. Not enough exposed slide to grab for me. I got a stock px4 compact and did the upgrades I wanted.

[@steveh7108]

I was not familiar with the PX4 but just from looking at it I could see it being very comfortable and a very good choice for everyday carry. However I would not pay that price. I highly doubt that I would like it better than my CZ PCR.

[@vent51177]

You made the right choice to start. I think the PCR is the best DA/SA carry option out there. The P07 has a better stock out of the. Box trigger. But once you break in or cajunize a non omega CZ trigger it doesn't get any better.

[@steveh7108]

@@vent51177 I agree. My PCR went to Cajon custom and they gave it the works. Pro package trigger job. Competition Hammer Barrel bushing. If the single-action trigger was any lighter it would be dangerous. In double action it is much lighter and very smooth and consistent.

I have both the beretta PX4 Storm compact and the CZ P-07 I have carried both and they are both stock without any upgrades ,and if I had to choose I would go with the Beretta because of the rotating barrel, it’s a point to aim soft shooter..with a lighter consistent trigger pull in single action…and the double action isn’t as long as the CZ P-07..but I really like both firearms…

Both are great choices the px4 has a superior trigger

[@chevyrunner8846]

I absolutely loved my px4 full size in 9. So much so that I bought a compact in fde and second full size in 40. I ended up selling the full size in 9, but kept the mags and bought a cx4. I have since worked on getting them as close as I can to the ltt models slowly and as funds allow. I will eventually get my hands on a cz. Until then, I'll just keep enjoying my berettas. Appreciate the great video brother. Please bring us more content on that beautiful px4. Oh yeah also what happened to KS? I really enjoyed his content!

[@ReyesFL]

P07 is my EDC.. CZ quality is second to none and I’ll die on that hill

[@-RM-]

I would pick the Beretta for 3 reasons: 1) Its overall size is slightly smaller than the P07 (at least in length)...2) The Beretta slide is much easier to manipulate (this has always been my beef with the "inside rail" CZ 75 platform)...and 3) I prefer the fully decocked system of the Beretta to the "half cock" decocking system of the CZ. Being of Czech heritage, I really WANT to love the CZ's, but they just don't work for me, ergonomically or operationally.

[@1776orbust]

Why do you dislike the half cocked system ..just curious

[@-RM-]

​@@1776orbust If I'm not mistaken (and I often am), I believe the "half decocking" process on CZs actually reduces the trigger pull length by a small amount. If that's the case, I don't like that. I want my decocking action to put the pistol all the way back to its original position, with its long, heavy DA trigger pull. It's just a safety thing for me.

[@1776orbust]

@R M gotcha although while the trigger pull length might be longer the poundage is still lighter on the compact carry trigger

[@thefrogking481]

Keep this in mind. During the NATO torture tests only two firing systems passed the trials. One was Glock and the other was CZ. Also, no NATO force or Military on earth carries the PX. Simple is always better when it works. Nobody will ever argue that CZ's won't simply work, each time. Outside of the 92 series Beretta doesn't make a pistol I've ever fired that was as shooter friendly as most other makers. Over $900?!?! Where did you buy that, on Gunbroker? That price will almost get you in the CZC ballpark, which is vastly superior to most anything else in the DA/SA market. I haven't fired anything *except my Staccato* that would take my CZC SDP out of my waistband. Not to mention the Beretta is just plain ol' ugly.

[@hailtothe_rooster1572]

I get in a lot of debates about duty proven vs it’s nice out the box/ cheaper/ etc. When you’re serious about using something for any significant amount of time anything that’s passed a trial is your starting point. If you’re gonna shoot 2 mags out of the box, call it good, and feel comfortable carrying it…. Good for you. It will probably work when you need it BUT I like to shoot and often wear out or break things like that

[@DarkPhoenixTSi]

I've owned both, and out of the box, the P07 feels better. After getting an LTT TJIAB, and changing to the stealth Type G decocker, the PX4 was miles ahead. I Cajunized the P07, and then they were back to being pretty even. The PX4 was a little flatter on the recoil.

[@ckim6400]

You said the PX4 is a little front heavy? Was that with a loaded magazine or unloaded magazine? No one carries it with an unloaded magazine and that will change the balance.

[@1776orbust]

Unloaded but that's a valid point.

It's $900 because he sent it to Langdon for tricking up. I have one and it was $659 from PSA. Out of the box, straight from Beretta it's a great gun. Don't know why, especially if you've never shot it, you would send it to Langdon. Waste of money in my opinion.
