Bought a CZ P-01 yesterday........

[missiontrails]

I don't get it for 10 days obviously. I just sold my Glock 21, and I had a Beretta 92FS prior to that. I missed the $10/box 9mm ammo for practice shooting. I was torn between a Beretta 92FS Type A1, and a CZ 75B. Then I saw and read about the P-01 model. At first I was a little apprehensive about the 3.9" barrel, but then I viewed range reports from this gun, and realized that guys were dinging metal targets @ 50 yards easily. Even though it has a barrel just short of 4" (similar to FP FNP 9, and Beretta Strom etc), the entire gun measures only a pinch shorter than a Glock 17, so the sight radius can't be all that bad. Plus, it has a rail. Then I read about the NATO designation.... blah blah...... I think it will be a durable shooter.

I have one and love it. Very accurate and reliable. You will not be disappointed

How is the trigger on yours?

When I first got it the trigger was pretty stiff. It stayed pretty stiff for several hundred rounds then mellowed out. The DA is still sort of a stretch but with no safety I wouldn't want it any lighter!

I'd also recommend getting a Kadet kit for it. If you do, make sure to get in touch with CZ. The Kadet slide release will not work in the P01 and the P01's release does not hold the slide back after the last round. CZ will send you a PCR slide release which will solve the problem.

The P01 is my very favorite pistol.

In fact I think I'm gonna buy a second one as a birthday present to myself.

I love my P-01! I'm gonna take it out later for a trip to the range after work this evening, along with my Beretta 92 and Sig SP2022!

You are trolling...... You dropped this same EXACT post in a Beretta 92FS discussion thread a couple of hours ago. So, I will tell you the same thing here... NO Glock has a NATO serial number/NATO certification. Um, last I checked, the P-01 has that, along with better accuracy than a GLOCK 17 or 19. Not knocking Glocks, I have owned a few.... just stating facts.

Congrats. Random question: when did the p-01 come to the US market?

I want to say 2005-ish?? I bought this one from Turners.......

[evolixsurf]

buying that is a no brainer. They shoot and feel soooooo sweet. Super accurate too.

my P-01 is made in 2003 that will be almost first P-01 with NATO number on frame.

I belive they(CZ) start bring P-01 since 2002 same year with NATO serial number/NATO certification.

Do you feel that you gave up any accuracy due to the 3.9" barrel, compared to say the 4.9" barrel of a 92FS or the 4.7" barrel of the 75B?

Not at all!
