The CZ P01 - Best Compact Pistol Ever Made?? 

I bought my P01, installed a CGW trigger job, and have put 4000 rounds through it with only 1 malfunction due to weird ammo that none of my guns liked. The trigger that was already the best of all my guns, is now the smoothest and fastest after 4000 rounds. Definitely an excellent firearm that has been more reliable than even my Glocks.

The biggest problem with the P-01 is it's expensive. Not expensive to buy, expensive to feed because it eats ammo like Rosie O'Donnell in a Hershey candy store. It's one of the most fun guns I have to target shoot.

Love my P01 Omega from CZ Custom Shop! Upgraded springs, pins, sights, guide rod, and cut for an RMR!! It just might become if I can only have one pistol

P-01 just wins love it! I recommend the Shadow 2 Compact as well; same size and ergos with a better trigger action.

P01 is my first gun, i’ve shot glocks, shields, p365, but the ergonomics of how it felt in my hand and how consistently i was able to shoot it compared to the others was why i purchased it.

Hell yea man! Great video brother !! Those grips look sweet on the gun too

Some say I only have one semi-auto handgun - and this is it! Nothing else needed!

lol grips are a must upgrade. Good choice! Cajun makes a lite spring kit for around $30 that makes the double action pull even smoother. They also offer a fiber optic front sight that will work with the stock rear sight for $40 Both are great

Great review Alex!!

I love my CZ P-01. Even though the sights suck, it's very pointable and easy to acquire the target, as long as the sun's shining outside. It's a great do-everything-gun. Incredibly reliable. Looking forward to Cajunizing the trigger and adding a fiber optic sight.

I rented a PCR at the range and enjoyed it so much that I ordered the P01 when I got home. It’s one of those that you can pick up and hit intuitively. Even Double Action is not hard to be accurate. Hoping for it to be my go-to-carry piece.

Love this firearm, thanks for sharing

Need to pick this one up. Love my PO7. It’s my favorite out off all my nines.

I have the OD Green P-01 and I absolutely love it and carry it everyday! I also have the P-07 and the PCR! Shadow 2 compact coming soon! You just can’t beat a compact CZ 75!

I replaced my Glock 43X with a P-01. It’s night and day. And the G43X was properly modified for daily carry. A SCD (striker control device), shield arms 15 round mag, and a Trijicon RMRcc, and a super slick Kydex holster. Even with the SCD, I carried it strong side. Not having a striker fired gun pointed at my junk. No thanks. Bone stock, the P-01 is awesome. Looking for an edge, I shipped mine to Cajun Gun Works for their professional hand fitting and a barrel bushing. Now? It is simply amazing. 7# DA, 3# SA. Added a TLR-8a light / green laser combo along with a Southern Trapper leather holster and carry it AIWB. If I could only have one gun, this would be it.

Good Vid 👍🏾 Running my Omega with cool hand grips - 11.5 HS/ short rest kit/ and a few other CGW parts with a DPM system recoil rod and spring kit. My DA is approximately around -7-7.5#’s / SA is at 3 to shy of 3.5#’s. I have no complaints. May get the slide milled for RMR type of Dot. Currently using Dawson sight - tack accurate.

My shadow 2 compact is DA BOMB. I'd like to see a true side by side test. Not just bench top but a true comparison

nice review dude. i have a p10s for daily carry, but i also want a po1 compact for carry and home defense. i love the double action/single action concept with a decocker. for some reason tho i was more accurate with the p10 series at the range so thats why i chose the p10 over the p01. i was also considering the p07. hopefully ill have them all before too long!

First time viewer. Enjoyed the video. The P-01 Omega can be swapped from de-cocker to safety very easily, and the lever works in the opposite direction, like a 911 safety. The trigger is much straighter. You gotta try one. RockOnStayFree.

One of my greatest regrets ever is selling my P01. It's so accurate. I want to get another and get it ported and cut for an optic, but I hear CZ is making all of their guns optics-ready soon. I might wait.

Damn, I wish I could shoot like you! And by the way, those grips are just flat sexy on that P-01. Nice work, brother.

Very informative video

Every CZ sidearm I've owned has been unbelievably great. CZ is one of the best manf. in my opinion. Long history of combat proven firearms. I adamantly stand by that the only people who don't like CZ's just haven't fired a CZ.

I dont have the p01 but love my c75 SP-01 tactical. She is a joy to shoot.

I just got those same grips in brass, feels amazing!

P01 is magical. I think what makes that gun special is its return to zero and of course cz errgos.

Just picked one up and let me say it is impressive.

My P01 is stock except for the sights. I love it!!!

Did a CGW Pro Package and mag brake mod, finding extra mags is a pain now everything is OOS, good review. BTW I am a lefty and have no problem with the decocker

Chechzellent! One of the best pistols on the planet! I Just put a Cajun Gun Work Pro kit in mine, and can’t wait to take it to the range!

I have every holster type under the sun for my P-01 Omega. This gun deserves the best

Great review

It's the one gun I have, I don't want a dot for, kept it stock, just got more visible sights...

IMO the best mass produced firearm ever. The only things better cost 5 to 15 times more.

Your response is priceless. Thank you. 😂

I own several compact size pistols and I thought that the M&P 2.0c was my absolute favorite compact due to its light recoil and how flat it shoots, that is until I finally got the CZ P01. It is an absolute tack driver and I can easily hit 100 yards with it.

I Love Mine!

Every pistol shooter should get a CZ 75 variant, even if it's just for the range. They're bad ass.

I noticed you appendix carry,🤔 what was the holster you were using? Just the other night I came home with a 75d compact PCR. I appendix carry a lot and I have a 1791 gun leather owb and that fits great. Let me know thank you. Great video 👍

Ive got to try those grips

Hey Alexander, I have the PO-7,crisp trigger,controlled recoil and a very handy handgun.I am considering on buying the PO-1,and i would like a recommendation from you on whether buying the PO-1 or keeping the PO-7. Thanks!

Yeah... When my grandson got his carry permit, I opened the safe and said, "Pick one". Of course, he picked the CZ P-01 w/Dawson night-sights and LOK Palm-Swell grips. Now I need to get another P-01.

It's Flat now, it would be even flatter if you add the DPM Spring to it

My biggest complaint with my p01 is the factory mags it comes with with that glorious pinkie extension are unobtainium

Thank you for the video! How does this firearm compare with the HK P30SK?

I highly recommend the Cajun Gun Works Pro Carry Package! If you like it now you won't believe what the boys at Cajun Gun Works can do to that pistol!

That’s interesting you found the 147 snappier than 124. It’s always been the other way around for me. I also found that 147 is more forgiving with a less than perfect grip for me. Do you plan on milling it for a dot?

Is there any reason why you didn't shoot paper so we could see any accuracy this P-01 provides instead of you pulling the trigger ?

Quick question though. Who makes that base pad for your mags??

I'm glad you like it but I owned one for a while and didn't have the best experience, the trigger on mine tended towards 12lbs/high 8lbs+ and in both da and sa stacks in 2 to 3 stages with a gritty inconsistent break, I want to say at least they're reliable but I cant even give them THAT. YMMV but my pre-covid model had the firing pin break shortly after 200 rounds. it has a "good" after market but not having three quarters of an inch of slop or an eighth of an inch of trigger wall that breaks at ??? point or a firing pin retaining pin that doesn't peen until it's broken or a brittle steel trigger spring that could snap or become damaged if you breathe on it funny should be things you get from the factory especially for $500-$650, I couldn't even get the thing to group tighter than 6 inches at 7 yards - so much for flat and precise lol lmao even - even with a heavier recoil spring to dampen the factory snappiness and a full trigger, hammer, and sear job. I was taken aback when shooting it for the first time and it was snapping harder than my subcompact walther ppsm2

Shadow 2 Compact!🔥🥃🇺🇸

i have the omega trigger in the p09 that i carry love the trigger.. id take the sp01 as the cheap mans shadow 2 compact lol

I just bought my P-01 and Im able to pick it up today. But I only have one problem and Im feeling some kind of way about buying it. Why and if so can anyone tell me if we can get somehow a Ambi decocker on it. Im a lefty and thats my only issue. So far all vids Ive seen say No it cant be done. If thats true then yeah im not happy. But they look great.

Great vid. I love my PO1 and treated it well with some recommended upgrades, springs, sights, grips etc. I recently ran into an issue with the pistol not resetting in the double action position. No I am considering putting all the old springs back in. Any thoughts?

Is this much different from the CZ 75 compact without the decocker? Thats why I have. Shoots pretty nice.

And another Cz angel got its wings… so many have had the same response, don’t feel bad at allllll lol! So could a staccato cs shoot just as flat, probably but most of us don’t have 2.3k to blow on a pistol, now 600 and tune and tweak when you got the extra bucks.. everyone is biased and yup I’m a CZ fanboy for sure

What mag basepad and mag springs were you running in your range footage? Thanks.

You need to get a CZ shadow 2 compact. You will really be smiling!

Those grips are nasty 😫 I gotta get me some.

I would love those grips, if they were OD Green. What the hell is this fashion of making your guns incredibly visible when they are meant to be concealed. P01 and PCR are my Daily Carries if I am not concealing my 10mm Grand Power P40.

What mag extension do you have the the thumbnail?

Is this version aluminum frame or all steel one?

maybe someone knows? Shadow 2 upgrade kit fits Shadow 2 Compact especially interested in the spring for a lighter bolt

OWN 2 CZ PO7 AND 75 D PCR QUESTION ?? WHAT IS ALL THE TALK ABOUT FIRING PIN BLOCK AND DRY FIRING ISSUSES ??

CZ is the best kept secret in the USA

Wasn’t going to buy another CZ BUTTTTTTT

Would the firing pin block keep it drop safe with the CGW extended firing pin?

Where to find one, no one has them in stock nation wide

Thumbs up! I have 2

I can’t even a new one online

minute 03:00 and I liked your video, I subscribe to your channel. Thanks for this great video.

No tanfoglio compact 10mm

This or a 43x mos for conceal carry?

What base pads are those ?

I think the P10c is a much better option, 👍

These pistols are just about impossible to find right now

It’s very frustrating that this company can not keep up with the demand. They are Sold Out Everywhere. It makes me think that as a company not keeping up production with demand is a huge red flag 🚩 for future growth and sustainability. Just a thought.

infamous means unworthy, terrible, or well known for some bad quality. I don't think that is the word you wanted to use.

Too many negative reviews on the slide rack being more difficult.

Wait until you get the Omega version. It really will have you in shock and aw

No.

Love the CZ P01, but I haven’t purchased a CZ pistol in years. I absolutely refuse to reward CZ with any more money for their laziness for not coming out with optics ready slides on their hammered fired pistols. Save your money and go with the CZ Shadow 2 Compact or wait for the CZ engineers to wake up from their stupor and retrofit their designs on their pistols.

The shadow 2 compact Way better

Too bad it’s being discontinued

🇮🇱👌❤️👍💋🇮🇱

No it's not bought mine for 479.

Mileniums trying to be “cool” 😮
