My Current EDC - CZ P-01

[@erosthespacesoldier1712]

I was in a gun shop to buy ammo a week ago. I had never looked at CZ before this time, I am a big fan of Sig! The moment I held the P01 I had to have it! Never in my life have I held a gun that felt so much like an extension of my hand. I can't wait to pick it up this weekend.

I never thought anything of the CZ either. went with some friends to a range and buddy brought a CZ P01 with an upgraded trigger kit. Agreed to buy it from him that night. Literal tack driver for me. I have lots of other handguns and was super fond of my ported Springfield 45 but this little guy is hands down the best shooting and consistently working weapon I own.

[@julielobato9766]

I found one with a rail for 1913. Picking her up in 9 days. Backstory : I wanted a 45 full size for home protection. My first firearm was a Glock 17 3rd gen but I really wanted a 45, so I went to a little town and shopped around and found the famous CZ 97b 😍😍. All steel , breaks like glass and shoots accurate and soft. I love it. It seemed natural to get a P01 for CCW. I opted for the decocker

[@HalfCrazy520]

I have a 97B and it shoots SO NICE. The only modification is LOK "Palm-Swell Bogies" grips. Feels like it grew out of my hands.

Good Review... I do really appreciate your info and experience.... just got bit by cz bug finally.... waiting to pick up my new 75 BD!

[@unknownunknown3025]

I've carried this pistol for 7 years, just a tip for reloads. If you slam the mag home the slide auto closes and racks the round in. Highly recommend looking into Cajun Gun Works. Takes about an hour or 2 to install their pro defensive kit. They also have great after market sight options.

[@JNOSNOW]

Have noticed this so far with the P01 that it goes home on a hard mag hit on aggressive reload. My other carry gun that is my main is the p365xl and it also goes home on a hard mag slam on reload which I absolutely love.

[@mrtaylorhelm]

What do you carry now?

[@thorshammer5134]

@@mrtaylorhelm I carry a Springfield Hellcat that I have customized. It has the true precision barrel, volker precision micro comp mk2, holosun 407k x2, apex trigger, and tlr 7 sub hellcat. It is a very fast pistol even at 25 yards. I shoot it as well as my pcr. I am thinking about milling the pcr for a holosun as well for winter carry with my 23 round mags. I’m 6 ft 3 and a very athletic 200 lbs so I can carry full size pistols pretty easy. The hellcat is just so easy to carry. Even fully decked out it weighs less than my pcr when both are fully loaded.

[@sinqros]

I think H&Ks do that too, are you sure all P01s do that?

[@schneir5]

@@sinqros any handgun should drop the slide if you slam in the loaded mag hard enough and it has a slide lock feature. I think it's funny that the original commenter thought that was unique to the P01 or something that should be done. It's just abusing the gun lol like yeah, if you hit the mag on the pistol hard enough, it will knock the slide loose too.

[@Unknown-pl1eu]

I have an OLight I3T OES that's a mini edc light and I've dropped it in water, washed it in my washing machine in my jeans twice and it's never failed. Very impressive light.

[@rdintennessee702]

Your friend didn’t “upgrade” from his PCR to P-01, it’s really just a slightly different feature set. My PCR, is my ideal EDC. I don’t carry with a light, too bulky for my taste. So the slimmed down frame is a plus in my opinion. Snag-less sights, another plus for the PCR. Add the round in chamber indicator, which I use as a tactile “press check”. Both have the forged aluminum frame and the same trigger group. My home defense is a full size P-09 Duty, that has tritiums and a light mounted.

[@sycamorebacker1]

As far as the slide, it is important to consider that you will almost never have to rack the slide in a hurry or under stress.

I’ve had this gun, with NATO numbers and De-cocker, for many years and I absolutely love it! I own several others handguns, and carry them all throughout the year, but this my “go to gun” and my number 1 gun if I could only have one. I’ve lost the round count to date, but I’ve never had one issue! If you have a chance to get one, do it! The only change I have made to it is replaced the factory sights with TruGlo.

[@willo7734]

I’m getting a P01 in the next few days. I’ve really enjoyed shooting the p07 and the p01 looks even better! I’ve been a big fan of 1911s but I’m finding the p07 has the best ergonomics of any pistol I’ve shot and just shoots the best for me. Great review by the way.

[@pewbrothers4806]

[@Arkancide]

Outside of something bad happening(loss or breakage of the gun) this is my last pistol to buy. I've carried four different varieties: Beretta Px4 Storm, some Turkish junk(I know they have good stuff, this one wasn't one of them), S&W M&P Shield, and finally the CZ 75 P01. It's what I've wanted for years, and it is what I carry everyday. Love this pistol.

[@vulgarhyena9616]

Awesome pistol, agree with you, I have a cz PCR, as I didn’t need a rail, and I liked the lighter weight of no rail and the aluminum frame. I have had excellent luck with the Czech guns!

[@thewrightstuff6174]

The P-01 and the PCR rubberized grips are by far the greatest right out of the box. I have to agree that this weapon feels the best that I have personally felt. Workhorse of a weapon. Great video.

[@OreGear]

Thanks for watching!

[@cheshire928]

I put the m-carbo spring with great results. Single action is 3 lbs. and double action is mid 5 lbs. I chose not to install the decocker since the factory spring was great and the process to install the replacement spring was a real pain.

[@deniswauchope3788]

The CZ 75B has been my EDC for the last year or so, before that I had a S&W 9. The CZ is heavier- a LOT heavier- but my God what a pleasure it is to shoot! And accuracy is far better too, it makes me feel like my shooting ability has dramatically increased; but it's just the gun, it goes right where I point it. So yeah, I'm a CZ fanboy! Now I've got the P01 on layby, pick it up in a week, and I'm sure looking forward to trying it out. If all goes as planned, it'll become my EDC and I'll use its bigger brother as my range gun. It feels so good in my hand! Thanks for an excellent video, I just subscribed!

[@howhardcanitbe4270]

Thanks for the thorough review. As a guy with small hands, pistol ergonomics are among the most important considerations. The CZs I've tried have just sort of locked into my hands. I've been eyeing up the P01 for a while, and you might have pushed me over the edge.

[@HalfCrazy520]

Great job. Subscribed. I am saving my pennies for a Cajun Gun Works P-01. Right now the only CZ I have is a 97B .45 and both my son and grandson are IN LOVE with it. My son, having never fired it before, put 20 rounds through a 2" hole at 10 yards... first 2 mags with it. There's just something about a CZ... and this is from a 1911 guy.

[@feral664]

Not sure why I'm watching this when I love my p01, carry it, and am a huge fan. Good vid nonetheless

[@Subtlenimbus]

There is a detail about CZs that I noticed on my 97bd that might have something to do with how smooth they shoot. It also explains why the rear sight is so much higher than the front: When the barrel is locked (ready to fire), it isn’t parallel to the slide. It is actually pointing slightly down. When the shot goes off, the slide begins to travel rearward, and when the barrel unlocks - it drops down to parallel. In a typical Browning action, the locked barrel sits parallel to the slide, and as the slide moves rearward it tips the barrel upward as it travels. This contributes to muzzle flip. The CZ design is amazing.

[@cliffordmurdock2407]

i recently got back into da sa guns. all of the striker fired polymer pistols i have, have just got boring to me. i bought a cz p07 & sp01 tactical. i put the mcarbo spring kit in my p07. it reduced the da sa trigger pulls by 40 %. i sent the slide for my p07 off to have milled for a holosun 507 k. once i get it back & get the 507k mounted, i think it will be the perfect gun for me. something about the cz ergos, i can just shoot them more accurately than any of my other pistols. thanks for the awesome review. i would love to find a green p01.

I also switched from g19 to P01. I went with the omega though. I am aware of the slightly better trigger on the non omega versions but needing no tools to fully break it down is worth the trade off for me. If it were a target pistol then it would be different. Have you considered installing a CGW kit? If you like the P01 now, you will love what CGW does to it. The wall on SA is almost 1911 like after a bit of slack. Very defined. Very crisp.

Great review here, as I just purchased a used P 01 I've been learning about it what I like an dislike. I like it ! I found this pistol in a LPS and after some days of consideration I adopted my new pet , it needed a home. Now I own a SIG P210 which uses the same slide design which is a iconic feature for solid accuracy and lockup, just eats up ammo like a pig. I just couldn't pass up this pistol and like you it took a while to warm up to CZ , this is my first CZ and I'm glad I took it home, I had an itch to scratch. To explain this pistol it's a solid shooter, a classic that's going to make some history, this is a tough as hell gun that's going to take a beating. The slide takes some training but overall chambering a round is not constant nor will you experience a need to clear jams enough for this to be a problem. The grips on mine are rubber and are good but not pretty so there are options Lok grips can enhance it's somewhat boring suit. The sights were the least impressive part so that will be a definite swap for something much more visible, then there's the trigger it's DA so if you can live with it fine or you can upgrade with a Cajon Gun Works trigger kit , I understand it's a nice upgrade. The decocker is a welcome feature I like as on my P220 SIG. And last I find nothing bad about o light it's a fine light and maybe the brightest on the current market. Enjoyed your review 💪🇺🇸

I rented a P-01 at my local gun store/range a couple of days ago. Bottom line: I'm buying one. I was an early adopter of SureFire, back when they were Laser Products Corporation and "SureFire" was a product line. But lights on pistols? Nah. Ambient light doesn't have much of a marketing budget, but it does work. For the better part of four decades, managing threats in low light conditions was just part of the job. I never came out of a situation wishing I had a light on my pistol, and I can't think of one now that would have been better handled with a light on the gun.

[@protectiverailroaddad7541]

I love my P01 and feel it’s one of my smoothest shooting handguns. Compared to most others it feels like the slide is on ball bearings and gives a pleasant recoil impulse. With that said I went back to carrying striker fired guns, particularly the Walther pdp compact 5” with holosun 507c. I feel 5” compact handguns that are optics ready are cream of the crop and offer more than regular compact handguns. Add the sweet trigger that walthers are known for and it’s a no brainer. My P01 isn’t going anywhere but it’s probably already seen it’s carry glory days.

[@unknownunknown3025]

Your p01 would be far superior to that pdp if you sent it to Cajun Gun Works or did the job yourself. Pro defensive carry package. Trigger will be better and far safer, especially for appendix carry. You can also get it cut for the holosun or whatever optic you want for like 250 bucks. I also recommend the 15 round pro mags with cz custom 10 spring follower kit. 16 +1 in a flush mag the size of a glock 19. It's about the same weight, 1 Oz more, slimmer, slightly shorter in height and length, more streamlined, faster on the draw, and I think the ergos are better. While I love the PDP I think the cz p01/ d compact pcr are the best do everything pistol ever made with just a little work.

Was never a fan of CZ, until I held one and shot it. Now I’m a huge fan! But I like the CZ 75 B and BD models the best and carried on my hip, or on the nightstand. The P-01 while a fine gun, is just too heavy to EDC for me in AIWB carry. I even dread my Glock 19 carried there, so I can’t imagine anything heavier than that. The P-01 is a whopping 5 ounces heavier than the G19. I carried a Beretta 92FS for years AIWB and was glad to give it up due to its length and weight. The Glock 19 felt better. Going to the P-01 or PCR alloy version is still too heavy for me in my older age. These days, I want comfort. G43X, G48 or G27 plus two spare magazines is how I usually roll with ANY gun that I carry.

[@327SixShooter]

When you say its "a lot" heavier than a glock 19, I just looked up the numbers. glock 19 is 23.9 ounces. The cz p01 is 28.1. With both of them being only .1 away from an even number, I think its fair to call the glock 19 at 24 ounces, and the p01 at 28 ounces. Only a 4 ounce difference. I've never carried a glock, but I couldn't see 4 ounces feeling that noticeably different when carrying in a holster on your belt. If we are talking about a pocket sized subcompact gun, then yes, 4 ounces is a pretty big difference imo. But that's not so not much difference for iwb carry.

[@amazoniancustodian]

There is a huge difference, even between a g17. My edc for years was the original CZ75 Compact, which is about 10 oz more. Now I’m sporting the new 75 compact that no longer comes with 15 round mags and has a polymer lower..

Now for the compact, I am torn between the P-01 that I will certainly modify or the Shadow 2 Compact that comes optics ready (once the price settles down)?

So I can't say I've put many rounds through it. I concur with your experience with it's accuracy, my first box of ammo through it at 10 yards I put a racketball sized hole in the center of the target. I changed out the grips to lokgrips frag pattern as I hated the feel of the rubber grips. But I have to admit, when my hands were sweating, the frag pattern wasn't offering as much grip.

Great pistols, however every single hammer fired CZ I've owned as well as my P10C has broken it's trigger return spring within the first couple months. I do ALOT of dry fire and IMO the oem TRS isn't durable enough for that kind of routine. After installing a Cajun Gun Works spring that issue is resolved and is the first upgrade I make. I've had in order, SP01 Tactical, P07, P09 SR, P10C SR and currently have a P10F SR. Out of all of them only the P10C had a breakage that stopped it..broken firing pin. CZ was absolutely fantastic to deal with and had the FP to me in two business days. I look back and have some regrets about selling the SP01, but I could've replaced it if I'd really wanted too and I haven't. Next on the CZ list is a Shadow 2.

[@mmsizzlak]

You probably know this but you could change out the firing pin retaining pin...I even saw a guy on KZbin use a plain 1/8" x 3/4" steel pin to replace the hollow CZ pin...I could've done that but I just ordered a $6 pin online... You don't even need to strip the gun, just tap out the pin and insert a solid steel pin in and you're done... Some guy on KZbin had replaced his magazine spring and firing pin (and maybe the trigger spring too but I forgot) due to feeding issues or the round not going off... He finally looked at that retaining pin and it was all dented up... He dry fired a lot too I guess lol... Anyways if u already knew than my bad lol

[@drewevans6908]

​Yes, very, but I did all of the work myself. If you go that route, be sure to watch videos from multiple sources on KZbin. The spring kit company is not important, the videos are. The MCARBO videos were not enough for the PO1 specifically. The firing pin block spring process does not match the video and they refer to the dome side of the decocker pin which they get wrong from my perspective. To me the domed end is the round end. What they are referring to is a chamfered end. This is a potentially critical misnomer as you may punch the pin through the aluminum frame trying to set the tine washer. I had to combine research videos on the spring kit upgrade using both MCARBO and I think Apex as both had key points and clues about the upgrade (especially seer cage) that were better to know than from one source alone. Good luck.

Love my p-01!!! They use the photo luminescent because they are not allowed to have the “nuclear” tritium sites in Europe I believe! What holsters have you had experience with?

[@johnwick1289]

Nice review. I was looking for this gun at my LGS, and they did not have it. However, they had the fraternal twin -PCR. Like you, I ignored CZs for years.

[@boricuaarecibo9259]

Im not sure which cz i have all it says on the slide is CZ75 compact it has a safety no decocker it does have a rail and its all steel i changed the sights to truglo tfx which made a big difference its a tack driver i love it

[@estranho]

I have a M&P 2.0 9mm compact. Thinking of trading for another P-01, S/D with 1 Decocker. My other P-01 has steel frame, thumb safety, and the CGW did-up. I never minded the weight, probably because I am in a wheelchair. Just imagine if I had to use it & it ends up on an evidence locker for 2 years; it would break my heart. Need another that I shoot & practice with. I was on the fence, you just made my day. ❤

[@infini1970]

I really love seeing the low recoil in the footage. Man I love CZ. I have an SP01 I'm cajunizing myself and my P01 will be part of my carry guns. I probably won't mod too much accept for the springs and maybe a green dot or night sights.

Enjoyed the video very much. Great learning experience for me and you earned a new subscriber!

[@jamesforehand8181]

I’ve had/have many guns but just got this one. Gladly like your knowledge, thanks

[@replacesoundboard]

13:14 You could rack it the way Eric Grauffel does. He pinches the front serration between the thumb and the inside of his hand, in a kind of reversed chamber check. Might not be very intuitive though

[@OreGear]

Unless I’m mistaken on how he does it, it sounds like the hand will then at least partially block the ejection port and that’s a no go for me

[@replacesoundboard]

@@OreGear I'm gonna try to post a link after this comment of the video in which he presents the CZ TS2. You can see him do it at 6:27 7:02 11:26 12:05

[@replacesoundboard]

@@OreGear This is the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ6naoyJhrallck It looks like it's not blocking that much, but it might be blocking ever so slightly, yeah.

0:57 yup, good idea to clear that runny nose before the close up shots

[@davidgolden1647]

Great/detailed review! I've heard some say on YT this tool was snappy. I found this exact tool built and customized with practically every upgrade available by CZ Custom and was wondering, "what's the recoil and return to target impulse"? I want a smooth, fast shooter. Even saw another YT reviewer compare his upgraded PO1 to an WBC EDX 9..hmm, 'it seemed' to compare fairly against WCB "IF" internals are upgraded. If so, maybe I found that cheat code item...? Is it really a soft shooter?

[@kimleith1378]

Man you sure have great "recoil management" Hope to be half as good with my CZ 75 BD when I pick it up.

[@julielobato9766]

They are soft shooters. Easily managed. My favorite is the CZ 97b 45. Acp all steel

[@robolive123]

Good choice!

[@sinqros]

I’ve owned the CZ75 b in .40, sold it, then in Jan 2018 bought the CZ75 PCR, still have it, I wanted the P01, but it was not there, so I got the PCR, I wonder if it’s as good as the P01?

[@teller121]

CZ used to have aluminum or G10 grips, both of which were much thinner than factory rubber. I have medium hands and love the aluminum. On my 75B, I have G10 plastic and love those much better than original rubber. Rubber makes the grip thicker and I don't need that.

[@alantalavera7536]

I think the reason for recessing the rail has less to do with reducing the reciprocating mass and more to do with lowering the bore axis. By bringing the axis of the slide path in recoil closer to the shooters's hands, you should reduce the torque and therefore felt recoil.

[@Subtlenimbus]

CZs don’t really have a lower bore axis than most semi autos. It only seems that way because of the way they do the rails. The slide is shorter, and the frame is taller, but the barrel just sits in the middle at about the same place as other guns.

[@frozentundra7446]

All the new ones we’ve had come through the shop recently have had 15 rounders as well.

[@TheJennflip]

Love my po1 Omega and 75b Omega---to dryfire these czs use a rubber o ring on top of firing pin and save wear and tear on the firing pin roll pin...

[@thesnakekeeper4211]

I’ve been thinking heavily about the P-01, my first (and so far) only handgun has been a striker fired polymer framed Glock clone, I just don’t think it’s for me. I’ve always love the look and feel of metal framed handguns, and CZs more specifically Little update: I got the ASG brand CZ SP-01 airsoft gun, trying to get more familiar with the platform before i get the real deal, and dang it’s a nice replica

[@kevinmcconnell8395]

I’ve been seriously considering a P01. The only thing holding me back is it doesn’t have the short reset of my Glocks. I’m not sure how that would impact my shooting

Nice video bro, i have a PO1 also. Thinking about putting a red dot on it but not sure if i want to keep the rear iron sight or just delete it...

A friend of mine had his cut for an RMRcc and it looks really good. He kept his rear sight in place
