[@HammerStriker]

Thank you.

[@manatarmstheweaponcabaret]

@Buttbanging Trannyliberal Yes for a current time handgun of course. I haded in last time lots of different polymere handguns in my hands. The only one I really was fascinated was the P09. I have tried the P10 but it have much more clearance between grip and slide. Also I must say the P09 I have tested haded a minimal and I mean really a minimal clearance between slide and grip. The one I own have absolutly no clearance between slide and grip. The trigger is much better then from Glock and the manufacturing quality is very high for the price you pay for the P09. For me it also was important to have a poly gun with a outside hammer. So I can load and charge the gun uncharge the hammer and the gun is ready to shoot double action or charging the hammer again for single action. Dont understand me wrong I really have tried Glock but the CZ have convinced me. Otherwise I would not have buyed me a polymere handgun. High Cap is also a reason to recommend it.

[@macthesmac]

I’m a gun nut. Bored and started looking into CZ. Now I want the P-07 , P-09, P-10c, and P-10f in that order starting next week

[@shaka2608]

The CZ P-07 Duty has been my EDC for almost eight years now. From the CZ P-07 Duty to the P-07 and P-09 pistols they ALL come with the Omega trigger system. The Ohm symbol is not the determining factor. Many people confuse the shape of the trigger to denote that it has the Omega trigger which simply isn't the case. The Omega trigger system is internal and is what also allows you to be able to change over from manual safety to decocker and vice versa. Trigger smoothness between the original ones and the newer ones should be the same, because the only thing that changed is the physical trigger shape. These are excellent pistols! I used to use my P-07 Duty in IDPA competitions and even won my class. You are 100% correct that the P-07 is ideal for EDC - perfect size and weight. An extremely reliable and accurate pistol. Definitely a keeper!

[@darknature79]

I had a new p10c but sold it last month and I liked it,I got a new 09 tactical today and I absolutely love it. All my other pistols are compact pistols and this is the perfect full size 9mm hammer fired pistol and the s.a pull is 4lbs and I love it. I may look for a shorter stroke trigger but the pull is already great and smooth.

[@darthtyranus7683]

Agreed P10 polymer felt a bit too cheap to be real when compared to other competitors I just hope they follow through with rmr mount slides

@@oscarlax5956 I don't know how it works in other countries but when my father was a cop after a few years on the force you can choose a different firearm from an approved list (or go through a tedious approval process). Most cops don't because there usually aren't extra parts/mags, they have to purchase the gun they want to use as opposed to being issued one from the department, or they don't want to go through the hassle of the process. I think his department was using the Smith and Wesson Model 5906 (or the one that comes in. 40) but they allowed him to use a Beretta 92 (he was more familiar with it from his military days) after a few years. It's still more common to see officers with different holsters than pistols though.

[@mountainhobo]

I like the way CZs shoot. I bought my first CZ well over two decades ago. However, I have concluded that the inside riding slide reduces the gripping area, and under stress drill I had my hand slip a few times without full malfunction clearance. I now prefer a more traditional slide-over-the-frame layout, like Glock, S&W, or 1911.

I noticed that the mag you have for the p07 is the newer style. When I bought mine soon after the non-duty version was released, the mag baseplates fit the grip profile better than the new mags that also fit the P10C

[@datriggr8287]

I normally shoot Sigs but I love the low bore axis on these, it's down in line with where you're pointing.

[@bdm1000]

I noticed the beveling is a little different in the back of the P-09. I have my carry needs well covered, so I think I'm leaning towards a P-09 with a threaded barrel which, from what I can tell, would probably add about 40 fps in velocity. That's not a lot, but if I don't need it to carry, I might as well get my 9mm's a little closer to my .357 SIG. The extra sight radius is nice as well (unless I add an optic).

[@stevenjones1700]

Nice comparison.. I thought you would like the p07 a little better. I own one also and have nothing but good to say about it. One thing you should've added was, if you buy one new the tendency of feed issues. Its a really tight gun and it takes a couple hundred rnds to get it broken in. After the first clean/lube i had no feed issues using multiple types of 9mm ammo.

Thank you for making this video. I enjoyed watching it. You are a lucky guy to have both a p09 and a p07. I do have to disagree with one thing you said though. Having the slide rails ride inside the frame instead of outside the frame does not lower the bore axis. CZ doesn't even claim this. From the CZ website - "Slide-in-frame design for better recoil control".

[@6Sally5]

Honestly, I don’t know how you could say this. I own a CZ75 SP01 and a Sig 2022. Clearly the CZ’s bore axis is lower than the Sig’s.

I already have a P10F, -S, and -C as well. Recently found a P07, and it may become my EDC (the -S had been, until I got the -C). I'm enjoying that the magazines are so interchangeable (with the caveat that the -S magazine won't fit in the longer grips of the -C or -F, etc.). I can have LOTS of rounds with fewer magazines while carrying the smaller gun...

[@alexandruborodin755]

P-09 gumps higher after each shot,because of longer slide and barrel,wich both have a little more weght,and this additional weght helps the pistol p-09 to gump higher than p-07. So,for home protection the p-07 is better,because of short distance in home,wich means you will need to fire very fast,and because of not very high barrel gump,the bullets will go in one place. The p-09 is nice for long range and not fast shoting.

[@3wheelmannc860]

Good video and info. CZ needs to step up and offer plate options on these.

[@HammerStriker]

Thank you.

[@TheTyrial86]

I preferred the rounded hammer of Duty models

[@BRH2100]

The slide being inside the frame could possibly make the slide a little lighter, which may help with recoil, but the bore axis is not actually lower due to the slide being inside the frame.

[@thinman8621]

You are right. Flipping the rail from inside to outside doesn't change the height of the bore. Also, the inside railed slide means the amount of slide above the frame is reduced when contrasted with outside railed slides. CZ has very shallow amount of frame to grab when cycling slide by hand.

[@Josh-ss1xn]

I'm looking at mine right now, the barrel is inside the slide and with the slide inside the frame it's actually down lower and the grip with the beavertail you can really get close to the slide as far as the smaller slide height I've not had much trouble racking the slide the slide serrations are really aggressive

[@theRodofwar]

Great vid !!!!!!!! Hoping you can give me some advice. So I have a P-07 and it's loaded at all times. so I was showing this gun to my friend and I removed the fully loaded magazine. I racked the slide to eject the bullet from the chamber and IT DOES NOT EJECT. I haven't been able to go to the range to at least get the bullet out. what say you !!!!!!!!!!!

[@HammerStriker]

This is a very dangerous situation - most likely the round "skipped the extractor" either because the case is jammed or the extractor is damaged. There are some steps to resolve this but the risk of an unintended discharge while doing so is high if you don't know exactly what to do. If you don't already know how to do it, I would suggest you engage the safety or use the docker (depending upon how it is set up), put it in a case without the magazine, take it to the gunsmith in the case, tell him without removing it from the case the situation (make sure he knows it is chambered and that the extractor is not removing the round) and let him resolve it for you. I hesitate to try to list the steps because a single mistake can result in injury or death. Make sure to keep it pointed in a safe direction the entire time you are handling it.

[@protectiverailroaddad7541]

Bore axis isn’t really lowered, just slide mass above the bore. If you measure from the beavertail to the firing pin (bore) it’s comparable to most other hammer fired guns. I like the P07/09, I just prefer the traditional cz’s more. I wish cz would have made the p01 phantom when they made the sp01 phantom. I guess the weight saving from aluminum to polymer wouldn’t have been that great though.

[@bdm1000]

I partially agree, but the firing pin axis is lower than it is on either my SIG P229 or my Beretta PX4 Storm. It's just that a lot of people exaggerate this feature as if it brings it down to the bore axis of a striker-fired gun like a Glock (but it does not). I don't know of any hammer guns with the bore axis quite as low as on a CZ, but you're right. It is not a low bore axis, it is just a low bore axis for a hammer-fired gun in my opinion.

[@protectiverailroaddad7541]

Forum and Brim my HK’s and Cz’s have roughly the same bore axis with the edge slightly going to the Cz’s. The slide being shorter gives that illusion. You’re right though, it’s a low bore axis for a hammer fired gun. However, even high bore axis striker fired pistols like my sig p320 has a lower bore axis than my cz p01 and 75B

[@LatakiaSmkr]

That's totally correct. The feature that should be emphasized though is the ability to ride the weak hand/thumb way higher than usual in other frames.
