Finally someone that knows how to lower the hammer on a CZ 75 type of pistol: there's the half notch, use it! Use it also to field strip the pistol as the instructions manual states because with the hammer in the half cock position you can easily align the signs between the frame and the slide to put out the hold open. A little advice: to lower the hammer on the half cock position in total safety, you can hold the hammer with your weak hand fingers, putting the index finger between the hammer and back of the slide. That's the way I lower the hammer on a CZ 75 type of pistols: I hold the hammer with my middle finger on the left, the thumb on the right and the index deep in front of the hammer. I pull the trigger, release the hammer, release the trigger and slowly put the hammer on the half cock position.
Nice review. I've owned my P-01 for about 10 years. One of my favorites. The only thing I've wanted to upgrade is the sights. At the range, they are fine and I shoot it very well. In a defensive-use scenario they are not easily picked up.
I have a 75 D Compact. It is steel. I also have the light attachment. It has the decocker on it instead of the safety. I have had this several years. It's great. It also has the serrations on the front and back of the grip. It's like a hybrid between the two.
This was a really well made video. It kept my attention throughout the whole video, maybe its because I'm so interested in the difference between the two guns, but you brought up many good observations between the two guns which I am grateful for.
@@publiuscorneliusscipio2874 I did get the CZ 75 SP-01 Full size it's the same exact size as My Beretta 92 XI SAO but weights about 8 oz. more. I did well at first range day , happy with it. The glitch in the trigger is the firing pin safety plunger I think, I try a spec. Of oil or gun butter on the face surface
Have the p-01 with night sights installed by a local gunsmith plus lock grips...very accurate. Have several CZ's..all of them are derivatives of the 75b which started life as the Communist Browning with the derivatives really being upgraded refinement of the original 75b. You can't go wrong with any CZ...accurate, easy to field strip for cleaning, size fits multiple uses so it you can only afford one these will do the trick plus quality made to where they'll be heirlooms for grandchildren.
After a lot of research and agonizing over which one, I just ordered the Compact model 91190. I hope the right one is shipped. Great video. I subscribed.
I had a huge problem with the angle of the beaver tail on the Jericho 941. I loved the pistol, and it was super accurate, but that downward swept beaver tail didn’t agree with my high grip and after long range sessions the meat of my hand between my thumb and index finger would be throbbing and I’d have a noticeable mark there as well. Traded it off. Looks to be a similar angle to your 75 compact. Thanks for the video as I was thinking of getting a 75 compact as the steel frame P01s are impossible to find. Already have a p01 omega in urban grey.
@@erik22lax the cz subreddit leads me to believe that they only come into the country once a year, just like the od green p01. When they get scooped up, that’s it until the next year. CzCustoms sells a steel frame one, but it goes by a different name and the price is bananas. I could be wrong, but I believe the steel frame model has a safety as opposed to the decocker. As for the .45, you can see them pop up on occasion for 900 and slightly under, but as time goes on the price seems to be going up since they’re discounted.
There is a in between model, it is called cz 75 semi-compact, a compact slide with full size grips. CZ custom makes another semi-compact model with bull barrels calling it the bull shadow semi compact. And some times you can find Israeli surplus semi compacts stamped as Massada.
I have several DA/SA’s, and all have a decocker. I really struggle with the idea of a DA/SA where one has to manually lower the hammer on a live round as the only way to use it in DA mode. To each their own, but no way I am doing that.
i prefer the decocker feature on a DA/SA but I really do like the 75 compact b/c it is all steel. IDK why CZ doesn't offer the 75 compact w/a decocker option. They do with the full size 75 & 75 SP01.
My Beretta's weigh 33. Oz unloaded it's heavier than the G-19 but the Beretta's shoots very good . I guess you own both on your table top review , Double action is a safe carry because of that first pull but you have to train that . My M9A4 DA/SA is so smooth 6.94 lbs and the SA 3.5 lbs follow up is great . My 92 XI SAO. SA.-4 lbs. Is more Glock (only carry) like both are Beautiful ❤️ styling , Much more Beautiful than CZ 's. However I nearly bought the P0-1 the other day very good in hand ergonomic feel , I probably will add one soon. PS DON'T DRY FIRE WITHOUT A SNAPCAPS IN CHAMBER . I HEARD A GUY TELL HOW HIS HAMMER ROLL PIN SHATTERED FROM DRY FIRING IT hard to get part.
I like the Safety Model better , because you can never have that first strike capability single action with the decocker Model, ( Cocked & Locked ) but you can still can carry it in quarter cocked double action like the decocker Model . So with the Safety Model you have that option that you can't have with the Decocker Model , hope that makes sense . I think both Models would be better with a little bit lighter double action pull , 7 lbs. DA/ would be great, 3.5 lbs /SA also ,....like My Beretta M9A4 . My brand new CZ 75 SP-01 has a bad glitch in the SA. just before the brake ( a BIG CLICK before the brake) fucking terrible ! Maybe it will either brake in. Or just brake, however i did pay for a full warranty at purchase extra $30. bucks . But i did get very good groups +/- 4" at 35 ft. Not bad first time out.
If you change a few of the springs you can get the DA/SA pull to 7.5/3.5. I have done it with a few of my czs. Cajun Gun Works parts not expensive either.
@@TheLoneRanger745 it makes sense, but man, there is no way I am ever gonna get comfortable manually lowering the hammer on a live round. All my DA’s have decockers. If I want cocked and locked I guess I’ll have to get a 1911.
Ive held both in a CZ gunstore. Both are beautiful in the metal, vids and pics dont do them justice. The P01 however is better imo since it has a picatinny rail for a wml adn front serrations for more grip. Also held the P01 Omega which I think is a little better than the P01.

@relayer5628 i changed to night sights bc the factory sights are low profile, and the dots are not bright white but rather dull white

@@edgybob1 sounds like a discontinued model. There was a p01 steel frame previously. Now it's only alloy.

Scored a P06 today. That's the .40 version of the p01. Discontinued in 2016 still looks great
love the sound effects
I can't decide which one I like better, so I decided to get a PCR.
Solid choice
Good video, thanks. P01 for me, prefer a de cocker and less weight. Ordering mine today.
Loved the shooting sound effects. Great review.

You can just cut off the Lanyard loop. Ive done that on all my CZ's, just smooth it out with sand paper afterwards & hit it with a Paint Pen.

Perhaps you can compare the PCR with the CZ 75 and the P01. All great guns.

Sounds effects were appreciated pow pow pow (silent) 😄
Prefer CZ 75 PCR. Much slimmer and somewhat less recoil. Next, I will choose P-01. Both the location of Decocker is perfect.
Why would PCR have less recoil? It's an aluminum frame pistol. CZ75C is a steel frame pistol and has less recoil.
@@bloodycrepeit is not that noticeable. About same recoil. I may felt a little bit less recoil on PCR cause I shot more than P01.
@@ExpertShooter CZ75C recoils way less than PCR and P01. It's very noticeable.
They feel any different in the hand?
my cz 75 compact came with rubber grips, but it think i may have an all steel p01 that was just stamped as a 75 compact
You probably have the pcr model of the 75 compact
cz should put this website on their website and pay you do compare all their funs
Do they make the P-01 in all steel?
@@keithgerlack7264 not anymore only alloy frame model now
75 PCR does have a vertical gtip line front and back of frame.
Great video!
Thanks!

BOTH TOO HEAVY TO CARRY

Get a better belt and holster
Ive held both in a CZ gunstore. Both are beautiful in the metal, vids and pics dont do them justice. The P01 however is better imo since it has a picatinny rail for a wml adn front serrations for more grip. Also held the P01 Omega which I think is a little better than the P01.
too bad they discontinued the Omega series.
