CZ P01 Omega vs. Glock 19M

Two of my favorite platforms, the CZ75 P01 and the Glock 19 are both excellent performers in the realm of defensive pistols. The CZ75 P01 is the sidearm of the choice for the Czech Republic police and the Glock is used by several LE and military units around the world. In this video, I am shooting the CZ 75 P01 and the Glock 19M side by side at the range to determine if one out performs the other. I also perform a table top review of the CZ P01 and the Glock 19 to show what differences there are between the two offerings. Both are great pistols and you'll have to watch the full review and comparison to see which 4" pistol is best.

Excellent video as always. The CZ P01 is good out of the box, it don't need any upgrades. However, if you install the $30 MCARBO spring kit, it lightens the DA and SA pull by about 30%.

Love it! I believe I've commented before that your shooting is exceptional! I began my journey as a shooter about a year and a half ago, and the P-01 and G19 are my first two pistols (I have to live in Commiefornia for work, but at least both of these pistols are on the handgun roster here!). If you can believe it, Los Angeles finally has a sheriff who's beginning to issue CCW permits, and I've been leaning more toward the P-01 as my permit gun, mostly for its additional layers of safety and overall sexier looks. I'm also looking at the Springfield EMP 1911 since I have smaller hands and am generally more comfortable on single stacks. Would love to see you do a review on that one (or offer me your thoughts on it if you have shot it!).

[@kagyu1]

If you CCW and your issuing agency doesn’t allow non manufacturers modifications, just keep shooting . My P-01 is stock except Lok Grips and CZC sights. I’ve got a little less than 10,000 rounds through it. The trigger pull both lightens and smooths out tremendously after 4,000 rounds and levels out at 7. No, it’s not as as light as a customized gun with CGW and CZC parts. I have a tricked out SP-01 for USPSA and it’s amazing , but too light for self defense. That being said , I recently started carrying a Glock 19. The lack of beaver tail and slight reduction in weight makes a big difference in comfort. It’s not as intuitive or joyful to shoot , but it’s easier to carry. It’s not as accurate as the P-01 , but it’s good enough. Talon grips, sights and a new connector is all I did. People win competitions with stock Glocks. It’s the arrow , not the Indian .

Thanks and welcome to the channel. It doesn’t bother me to transition between the three major pistol actions, the key is to practice with all three and going from to the next is like transitioning from pistol to rifle to shotgun…it becomes second nature. Take care.

[@WraithChornobyl]

What on earth did that poor Cinder block do to you man. What did they do to deserve such a fate?! My P01 and PCR are my two top choice CCW guns of all time. I got rid of all my Striker fired guns in favor of DA/SA as I view it alot safer for carrying, not just for holstering, but depending on the defensive situation you may have to draw at bad breath distance, and I like the safety of Double Action if I need to use hand to hand fighting for a weapon if it comes down to it.

[@Joseph-ih1pf]

Hey have you ever had to make any changes to the p01? Which production year do you have? I’ve seen threads/videos/forums where there’s an issue affecting 2016+ P-01 omega models where the decocker/safety walks out on them. Ive been doubting on purchasing for this reason but was very ready to buy and whether I want the CZ P01 or a Staccato C2

[@shootersresourcechannel642]

I’ve only changed the grips on mine and haven’t had any issues. I bought it new a year or so ago, though I don’t know the exact year it was produced. The Staccato is a better performing gun for sure, I have several videos on it, but that comes at a high price point. I honestly find myself carrying the P01 much more often.

[@malinkifox2011]

I have a Glock 19 5th gen I shoot all the time. I’m deadly accurate with it. Today I rented the CZP01 regular model, you could tell it had thousands of thousands of rounds through it. I like to shoot at 75ft (25yrds) and both were identical in accuracy. The recoil is a bit lighter on the CZ, however the slide does sit a bit higher as where the Glock 19 is more aligned with your arm when aiming, so Glock was easier to control after firing a shoot in a sense that your grip stays solid. With CZ you really have to pay attention to your grip because it tends to get loosened up even with lighter recoil feel, then again this could improve with more practice. Ergonomically the CZ felt good in the hand, better than the Glock 19? I’m not quite sure. Both felt great. one thing that stood out that many don’t pay attention to is the sights, the CZ sights are precise sure, but the Glock sights are the classic white with sort of wider range of motion that needs to be aligned when aiming. This makes them easier to acquire quickly, but less precise to the feel when trying to land 75ft shots, but if I was in a life death situation and not so distant range, I would say the Glock will acquire the sights easier and I feel they would be more visible in low light conditions. The CZ sights are great, metallic, but require you to really dial in your focus when trying to aim quick. in terms of size both are nearly identical. If it was me I would carry CZ chambered because I would feel very secure with the first trigger pull in double action taking 10+ pounds of force, and a Glock I would carry unchambered, just my preference of course. I feel CZ is great if you have other guns, as this one is fun to shoot, double action is fun to practice, it’s unique. The Glock is just screaming reliability and proof of function in the field with almost any law enforcement. With that said I might buy the CZP01, but if I do… I will rotate and carry both. Cheers

[@repetitivemotion]

Pre Covid, I could find a Glock 19 G5 anywhere for under $600. I could not find a CZ P01 anywhere except on Gunbroker, and then for over $600. The Glock is an industrial design throw away. You can find them anywhere. The CZ is a unicorn, here today, sold out tomorrow. The CZ is the High School Beauty Queen. The Glock is the Tomboy track athlete, not ugly but by no means beautiful. Scratch the Glock, no big deal. Scratch the CZ and cry like a baby.

Own a CZ 75 BD 9mm and a Glock 45 5 Generation 9mm. Don't favor one really that much over the other. 5th Gen Glocks are more accurate than previous and have an actual lockup making them more accurate. The CZ 75 BD is all steel, cutting down on recoil and it has a far more ergonomic grip. I've made my own very slight mods to both to help mainly with the grip of both. Both shoot great at normal distances but, if it were a shtf situation like Biden is trying to cause and I was in a situation getting back to my family with liberal idiots running around causing havoc then I would take the CZ due to it being a better long distance hand gun than the Glock.

[@kentonhammond8938]

Take the damn lights off the pistols. You might carry with one on your weapon, but most concealed carry folks don't. Put the light on for your night stand. I'll take the CZ every day. Glocks just have a terrible grip & grip angle compared to the CZ. A hammer fired DA/ SA handgun is always safer than other guns, & they can be cocked into single action with your thumb, if you have time. It's like the last 2 - 3 generations were born without thumbs. Everyone's heard of "Glock Leg", or Glock Penis & femoral artery removal if you carry appendix.....no ones ever heard of CZ leg etc. I'll take an all metal pistol everyday over a damn plastic gun. Love my CZ Omega, Glocks always shoot low & I have trouble finding the sights when you bring the gun up to shooting level, the CZ'S sights are right there at eye level every time. The CZ'S are just better guns & the ergonomics are sooo much better.
