CZP-01 is the absolute gold standard in ergonomics’ accuracy and reliability’ it’s also a tack driver’ short reset makes follow up shots a breeze and I have seen people who were not a real good shooter become almost inebriated with confidence while there shooting it, it is so accurate that it becomes boring hitting reactive targets at 21 ft’ have not really took it long distance but I’d be willing to bet that you could Deliver the aspirin to the headache out to 50 ft fairly easily
I went to a gun store to purchase my first semi-auto pistol, my only other handgun is a Ruger 357, and on their pistol display table had about 20-25 semi of many different models and make, but it was this little gun czp01 that caught my eye and it fit perfectly to my hand. It had the best feel among other guns. Asked the gun shop owner to hold it for me..and buying this little gun tomorrow as i speak or commenting. Thx for the review, your detailed explanation and description confirmed i made the right choice.
Got the aftermarket aluminum grips and never felt better, brings the width down to almost 1911 size. I may upgrade the sights, but everything else is awesome
I have this exact pistol it’s a sexy looking thing. The machining is incredible giving it an extremely tight fit, it feels like one piece when you hold it. It shoots straight and the grip fits the hand perfect love this pistol.
I love the cz p-01 so much….I have the original model and the omega. I’m sending both off to CGW to get Cajunized. Can’t wait to see how even more awesome the trigger can get. Great video!
Just bought my first one today. I’ve already ordered aluminum grips. Might replace the sights down the road. Can’t make a definitive judgement till I take it to the range. What a beautiful and comfortable pistol. I hope it shoots as good as it looks.
The differnces in CZ models are very subtle, especially with the 75 series. The P01 75 is an even deeper rabbit hole. CZ has made approximately 16 different P01 models. It starts with the standard P01 ( in this video) and extends to the P01 pro tek 2. The difference are subtle, but enough to drive anal retentive guys like me into buying them. I have 4 P01's and each of them are slightly different.
Thank you. Both excellent. I have the P0-1. I love it, feels natural in my hand. It does have stuff i don't like but what doesn't. You learn to adapt to shortcomings with practicing. Yes, as you advised " Try it " It took me awhile to give the CZ a chance. I thank a good friend who persistently encouraged me to try it
TAking these apart is a task!!!---saw on a forum to make a stand as you need 3 or 4 hands to work on these--- I used like a 6x 12 bottm and a piece of 1x2 whittled down to fit the mag well (not fit all the way up the mag well)--screwed to the bottom piece at about a 10 degree or so angle----makes working on these tons easier!!!!
little FYI, I do reload myself, so of course there are some out of spec ammo, primer not seating correctly, case bulge, the p-01 and sp-01 will still fire those flawlessly while glock on the other hand won't..
I've found these for about 540 and I think it's one of the sexiest handguns on the market. I just worry a little about how heavy it will be carrying it.
One of my favorites. Only downside to ccw is the stinkin beavertail pokes me in my gut, so AIWB isn't nearly as comfortable for someone with a dad bod compared to say am HK or a striker fired gun. Other than that it's dead on accurate and amazing trigger, and very customizable.
@@thefrogking481 tactical muffin top bro lol. Eh, two kids myself and drinking too much beer for years added a bit to the mid section, not fat, just a bit of a belly that should be flatter if I worked out and cut out carbs.
You can get a P01 for under 600bucks online pretty easily and in the shops at least in my area of the country they can be had for under 650 if you shop around. If you are paying 800 dollars for one you are getting fleeced
I so want one of these, but the size and weight are close to the Beretta px4 compact carry, and I sold that. The Beretta was a fine handgun, but I just found it too big and clunky to carry here in SW Florida. Replaced it with a HK P30SK. I’ll have to look at a larger CZ for home defense.
My P-01 Omega is my favorite handgun, replaced the grips with some slim grips and feels perfect. Between my P-01, P-07 and a Walther 3.5" PDP-F you couldn't ask for a better line-up. If you've never shot a CZ SA-DA gun you missing out on some of the best pistols made. The problem is you can' hardly find a P-01 or any of the 75 Compacts. If you find a good used one, BUY IT.
I have the P-01...airgun, and, although it is not the most well-made airgun pistol I have, the firearm one would be my definite carry gun, if I were lucky to live in the States. Nothing compares to the feeling of holding it, it becomes one with your hand and the rubber grips add to that; I do not understand why people do not like them and prefer slippery and cold metal grips. The double action is something I would also want for my carry gun, for safety and a sense of engaging with all the mechanic movements that lead to the shot. Very pleasant to look at with perfect proportions and rounded in the right places. Excellent
Dude, you have a radio voice! Great ad for Don's Weaponry!! I guess radio voices help you remember ads lol normally i never remember the name of anything people say in the sponsor parts.
I almost bought a P-01 to be my EDC. I have carried a few CZ pistols, starting with the P10S, then the P10C (because my hands are big enough that quick mag changes in the -S are a challenge), then the P07. It took going to the DA/SA trigger in the P07 to make me tolerate carrying with one in the pipe. The Omega decocker is good, but not perfect for me, so I looked at the baby 75 series, including the P-01 and the PCR. It's almost like the P-01 and the PCR differ in just the dust cover--my PCR doesn't have the rail. The sights on the two as shipped to my local shop were slightly different, and I preferred the ones on my PCR, along with the decocker that is more ergonomically suited for me.
What practice I'm allowed to do at the range I use is limited, so I tend to practice at ten yards rather than at seven. My reasoning is that if I can hit targets farther away that appear smaller compared to closer that appear larger, my odds in a defensive encounter improve a little bit. Of the several pistols I've used for the drills I've worked at doing somewhat well, I do best with my PCR. My P-07 is third, after my P--09, which has the advantage of having a red dot sight--it's my home-defense pistol because it's DA/SA, 19+1, has a red dot sight, and has a weapon light.
Ive been looking for a new 9mm, my star has become unreliable. Shot the hell cat and sig p365, didn't like them. fella at the range put this in my hand and was in a 8in grouping rapid fire 10r... The trigger is butter! love it! 5'2 small hands
Nice video i agree with you my bad luck i sold mine and now i try to find agin it’s really hard to find now day with omega 😢 so i just recently get S2C but very big difference with p01 and S2C
I am new to your channel and liked the content of your video. It seems to me that CZs, overall, are both reliable and affordable, and they’re also good quality and shoot straight too. Honestly, what’s not to like about them? Due to availability, I’m looking at a slightly different model, but I do appreciate your well thought out review today. Thank you and God bless!
I love my P01...it's the steel frame version with manual safety..a little heavy but very comfy in a Harry's holster appendix rig...great video, thanks for sharing
@@thefrogking481 yes it is the 041 model...the slide is out getting an optic cut... I've only put 25 rounds thru it...Will certainly keep you in mind ..thanks
What price have people been picking this up at? I want to get a P01 but theyre so marked up where I live, $800 usd. I cant in good faith pay that when I heard people have paid $600 for it in the past.
@@DuayneHoward man if i could find one for 650 i would get it in a heart beat. My LGS is selling it for 780, and Sportsmans Warehouse has it for 800. makes no sense
About $779 in my area (NE Ohio). Interestingly, CZ USA decreased the MSRP of many of their handguns this year (even the Shadow 2). Their website lists the P01 at $649. The P10C and P10C optics ready are listed at $399and $449, respectively. I bought them both a couple years ago and spent $549 and $599.
@@Sirgromulus Ah ok I am in CO and i've seen them for 800 which is crazy. Like you mentioned, on the website its MSRP for 650. If i were to get one, might be better off buying online and shipping to a FFL. Sucky thing is most my LGS don't have them in stock, they just told me they can order it for $800. Can't even get my hands on one to see how the it fits.
Hammer down? How do you place the hammer down all the way safely? One slip and the pistol will fire. Similar to a 1911. Maybe you should have mentioned the “decocker” that places the hammer in about a half cocked position to be carried safely place the hammer in that position correctly. Of course you can put the 1911 and the cz fully down but that would mean the firing pin is where ? Probably protruding out of the hole and resting where on the cartridge? Primer maybe ?
I can't believe I missed the omega version. I wanted one for years and just went to buy one, and they're discontinued. I live the hammer shape on that version much more.
How hard to get this optic ready from the factory? I would buy this on the spot if I don't have to spend additional $$ to install red dot. Not everyone has 20/20 vision getting older.....
IMO you get a USP because they're cool and in the movies/video games. The P01 is more practical with nicer magazines and a significantly cheaper price, with more places available to get a slide milled.
I am seriously looking at this weapon as my next carry gun. Does anyone know if it's safe to carry chambered? I live in Oklahoma and retail at my LGS is $635, btw.
I purchased mine a couple days ago for 500. It was in the used case but it had never been fired. I used to never carry with one in the chamber because I train to rack a shell while drawing from the holster. But with the double action and de-cocker on the p-01 I’ve been carrying loaded. The only issue I have with it is the slide is skinny and hard to rack new. But the slide sits in the frame and not on the frame so the clearances on it are super tight making it a tack driver!
@@ryanpayne6215 Much appreciated. Yeah, I've heard that 'low slide' is a thing with the CZ75 & its copies. But it doesn't keep me from wanting one. Congrats on you getting yours
There is a lot to not like. Such as not going bang when you pull the trigger. Sticking slide, sticking magazines, feed issues. If you're buying one gun for protection, make this one a hard pass.
@scooter5940 I spent $800 and got a shitty gun and a run around on the warranty. When you do that, I'll give a bucket of piss about what you have to say Scooter.
Just odered a Mossberg 940 PT. Also wanted to oder a Mossberg MC2C, but unfortunately it's not available in CA. So this CZ P-01 or the CZ SP-01 are going to be the one I get. Good enough for NATO good enough for me!
