@@mrimd4643 You can get the steel roll pin from CGW that will fix that problem. But definitely agree on the roll pin. If you dry fire you definitely need to upgrade to the steel roll pin.
knox2613. Treat yourself, buy the Sig Legion. You won't be sorry, there'a no better pistol on the market..The Legion has all the best upgrades, the CZ doesn't.
@@ClearBrookExotics You're very welcome. You'll pay a little more for the Sig, but the quality will more than make up the difference, I have several sig Legion pistols, the trigger reset, and quality is amazing.
Sig P229 Legion. I own one and it's the best shooting handgun I've ever owned. I've owned Glocks, Walter PPQ, Sigs, S&W's, Springfields, and the P229 Legion shoots smoother and more accurate than all of them....and I have the .40 cal version. I've shot the CZ as a range rental...shoots very nice, but i had tighter shot groups with my Legion. Great video!! 👍👍
From your 4th shot on the accuracy test for the CZ you started to pull the trigger and your accuracy trailed off. First 3 shots were steady and you grouped very well. Sig u took ur time and got great grouping. I'm a sig guy. But it's clear you rushed every shot after the 4th on the CZ. Good thing you already shows it's great on the first 3 shots.
No doubt about it that Sig makes quality firearms, but when it comes to my pistols I go with CZ. Besides who is Sig trying to rip off with a retail price of 1,200. I am an average working man here come on.
Lots of sig p229s for 550 to700 in and around seattle ,and we are expensive,usually a cz is pretty close ,both go up extensively when there is custom work done
What are you talking about? That was the standard P-01 (not the Omega trigger). The only thing he changed out for the test was the grips. Personally I like the stock rubber grips.
@@easyfiveOsink Not if you consider their quality and reliability compared to most other makes. However, the CZs are actually comparable at almost half the price.
I have an SP-01 and 226. Slightly different, but close enough. The 226 Scorpion was my holy grail gun, but when I got talked into buying the SP-01, I quickly understood what the fuss was all about. Not only is it as well-built, if not better than, the 226; the SP-01 fits like a glove and is incredibly accurate. It can out-shoot the 226 every time. Design-wise, the CZs recessed slide makes a huge difference in recoil, and is a vastly superior design to the full-height Sig slide. It's probably why CZs are used so much in competition. My 226 is just a Nitron version, but I added the SRT kit [and a new grip], so it's functionally identical to my nephew's Scorpion. (I love the look of the Scorpion. It was $600 more than my Nitron tho.) It's amazing that Sig would sell a 226 without the SRT, since it shoots like ass. My trigger feels just like the Scorpion now, but for some reason the SRT doesn't thrill me like the first time. (Probably because the Sig isn't as natural to hold as the CZ.) It is still a fantastic gun if you want to spend the money. Otherwise, you can get just as amazing performance from another gun that's half the price. If you love the Sig, my advice is to buy the cheapest version, add the SRT kit (about $40+install) and customize as desired. Sig charges a lot more for upgraded versions than the upgrades are worth IMO. I shoot my nephew's Scorpion better than my 226, but my nephew shoots my 226 better than his. Other than the color, the grips and the tail, [and $500+] it's the same gun. Last week I picked up the CZ75 Tactical Sport. It proved to me that even CZ's more expensive guns are just as good bargains as their cheaper ones. IMHO, the Tactical Sport has one of the best triggers of any production handgun in any price range. It is completely for competition, but at $1,300 it is an insane value - a 2lb. trigger pull right out of the box! [and three mags] I'm still a Sig fan, and it's a fun gun to shoot, but if I had to pick one, the CZ just wins hands down - even if the price were the same! I think the SP-01 [and the whole CZ line] is easily one of the best values in steel-frame 9mm guns, and one of the best designs too. I'm still keeping my 226 though. Two great guns at very different price points.
Own both. Love both. Did cajunize my CZ and upgrade the sights. Legion is my home defense gun. Cz is my carry gun. It’s just so much easier to conceal than the Legion. The short reset trigger on the Legion is unbeatable. Great video!
@@Joe-dd5fi the cz is not near as bulky. That Legion is a hammer! I did get a hidden hybrid holster for the legion which is very comfortable and makes appendix carry of the legion much more doable.
Both pistols are really nice! I had the Sig Legion but I couldn’t overcome the large grip and high borax, so I sold it. Now, the CZ, has been the best pistol I’ve ever shot, grip is awesome and the lower borax makes follow up shots much easier! The sights were so, so..so I bought some TruGlo TFX’s, huge improvement. IMO, the CZ was the much superior pistol for me.
The CZ doesn't have a low bore axis.... Just because the top of the slide is short doesn't mean that its barrel is lower. The bore axis is 1.57", higher than a Browning Hi Power, Walther PPQ, Canik TP-9, and essentially all of Ruger's hand guns. The reason follow up shots are easier is the grip and slightly lower reciprocating slide mass. But this is NOT a low bore axis gun.
I own both and my biggest gripe with P01 is difficulty in racking the slide. Some people just have strong fingers, I guess. Hopefully, the red dot will help me out, if it can withstand being used to rack the slide.
Picked up my P-01 second hand, but never used with the extra mag and case for $419. SIGs like Glock are great guns, but you're always paying premium for that brand name. If I ever find a SIG at a sensible price, I'll buy one. Until then there are a lot of other good guns priced to sell.
yeah but its still a pretty close comparison performance wise, if you up the anti on the CZ by say comparing the Legion to a shadow line P-01 or a Cajunized one the CZ would likely blow away the Legion.
I like the CZ better If it's set up in the same way as the legion. if you were to list out all the extra cost to bring it up to the legions level the pricing would come out around the same Gun $550-600 Night sights $100-150 Cajun trigger- I think those are around $350 And legion comes with 3 mags so that's another $35-40 Total cost for CZ set up the same, or close to the legions = $1000-1100
Low Light I’ve had both and yes the P01 in an excellent handgun. I have a Sig now. It’s all about how they fit your hand and witch one points more naturally. I do miss my P01, but I don’t have but a few handguns that have specific purposes. The P01 is a fine handgun and a very good value quality firearm.
P229 Legion, it requires no upgrades out of the box! CZ P-01 could use some custom work (e.g. trigger, sights) - not a fair comparison IMO. Regular P229 sure but not a Legion.
I love CZ’s. Aftermarket parts are a little harder to find, but all in all I feel that, for the price, the 75 platform is at the top of a lot of folks lists.
Excellent video, very well thought out. I'm currently in the same pickle, trying to choose between keeping my new CZ-75B Omega convertible, or trading it for the Sig-Sauer Legion. The CZ had a gritty trigger that improved greatly after a couple of boxes of ammo. Love the way it shoots, though, better than the Sig except the Legion does have that fantastic trigger. The problem is that my CZ is full sized steel frame so kinda heavy for daily carry, where the Legion is perfect for me. I'd love to keep both, but I also have a Sig P210 Legend, so need a 3rd 9mm like I need (another) hole in my head. Life is so full of terrible, terrible choices.....
I own both... F'n love my CZ... But it's Sig P229 L for those who are asking... My CZ is chambered in 9mm and the Legion is .40 cal The CZ is a less expensive but my $1,300 Legion is in it's class of its own, very soft shooting! Well worth the cost you get what you pay for!
Very fond of DA/SA. CZ P - 01, fits like a glove 👌 feels so good, grips so good, shoots dam well. The Sig P229 sturdy, strong, I feel like I could chop on par with Paul Bunyan reminds me of the X-Files of FBI Agent Mulder and Scully. Honestly I liked them both can't go wrong or one over the other in my opinion. - Honorable mentions: Beretta 92x ahh man, shoots so good, the open top barrel, leveled slide action, just saying. If you got the $$$$ Beretta LLT oh man flawless victory.
It's 1 less round. 1, not 3 or 4. And besides, you have more mags for a CZ P01 over a sig 229 or 226. And mags are less than half the price for the same mag for the most part. You sound like a fud.
Internal slide rails do not lower the bore axis. They raise the sides of the visible portion of the slides. Internal external rails makes NO difference. Go DCMA!
With a difference of $600 you can definitely have CGW build out your P-01 to probably a better gun than the SIG and still have enough money eft to buy an extra 10 mags.
Yeah I got a cgw production legal kit for $150? Put it in myself, via a youtube walk through. Now I have around a 5-6 lb DA and 2.8 lb single action. I think my trigger is better than my friend's legion, but his is still good and it's a nice gun.
Look a cajun gun works to fix that reset an lighten that DA pull on that cz. Once you get the cgw parts installed it takes the P01 to a unbelievable level
I have fired both of these pistol types extensively, however the CZ P-01 Omega, in Urban Gray suppressor ready. As for the SIG, in fairness, it is actually a P228. The difference between the P228 vs the P229 is that the '28 was made witha stamped steel/welded block slide (in Germany) and the '29 is made in New Hampshire, with a slide milled from billet (to accommodate .40 S&W/.357SIG rounds. The Legion is well regarded as it is a 'factory custom'. I find both pistols outstanding. I have found that the accuracy a draw (as good as you could ever want). The CZ Omega trigger is swappable from decocker to safety, and starts smooth and REALLY smooths out after a coupl hundred rounds. The standard SIG P228 came back from a factory refurbishing with a great trigger. I would say that the CZ is the better buy, better in your hand, but the P228 is slightly easier to conceal. The suppressor ready CZ has FANTASTIC sights, no need to change them! I have at least 5k rounds through the CZ without a hiccup, the SIG has closer to 8k rounds but doesn't like all ammo.
I also wear a medium sized glove and I have trouble reaching the CZ trigger in DA. When I got my first CZ, which was a PCR, I noticed the reach issue and went online to see if there was anything that could be done. I found out about CGW and immediately ordered their pro package (which includes their reach reduction kit) and some other miscellaneous parts. Once I got everything installed, that gun went from great to phenomenal and I had no problems reaching the trigger anymore. With the polishing job that I did and the aftermarket parts, I got the trigger in the PCR down to a buttery smooth 8lb DA and a 3.5lb single action that broke like glass with absolutely no overtravel at all. Ever since then, if I’m buying a CZ, I go ahead and place that order with CGW as well. Granted, it raises the cost of the gun pretty significantly but it’s worth every penny to me. I actually just received another pro package that I’m about to install on my brand new P-01 Decocker that’s supposed to be arriving any day now. Considering the price on the Legion pistols, it would actually make a lot more sense to compare it to a Cajunized P-01. I’m familiar with Sig triggers and Bruce Gray’s triggers and I don’t think either of them can hold a candle to a CGW trigger. A P-01 with a full pro package will end up costing you roughly $900, depending on the cost of the gun itself and these Legion guns are still significantly more expensive.
@@kylestewart4444 it’s because the cz75 pistol type was one of the first that basically asked the question no one asked pre 1970’s. “How do we make a browning high power but better” Thus, the cz75’s original variation was born. The smith and Wesson generations were basically product improved 1911’s, the 220 was a DA/SA 210. The beretta 92 was the 92.
I have the legion p226 and CZ Shadow 2, believe the Shadow 2 is the best competition handgun on the market, I think the legion is the best defensive/tactical pistol on the market.
@Grant Archer Yeah, I've had several CZ pistols and rifles. The quality was poor, at best. Accuracy wasn't all that good either. FYI : NATO chose the Sig P 320 not the CZ. Look at the Sig group in this video, it was by far more accurate than the CZ. Sig cost more, because they're built better. I'm not "butt hurt." I can afford quality, not cheap Czechoslovakia made junk.
@@ricktaylor3748 well said and if anyone things a cz 75 is anywhere near the quality of a sig legion they dont know guns. The cz trigger is like pulling on a ball of playdo. Crap trigger reset and squishy. The sig is crisp and instant reset. Better grips better sights better trigger and made in America.
The Legion will only go up in price as times goes by. Saw one for sale once for $800(discounted) when it first came out. Now they are like $1,200-$1,600 depending if it have the Romeo red dot.
If you think that grey guns trigger is the best you have to Get a Cajun gun works trigger in that po1 trust me. I have one in my p07 it changed that gun
Um, for the price difference you could buy at least ten, probably 20, more mags for the CZ P-01! Also, you dropped a round or two on the small plate with the SIG. That smaller rear sight cutout on the CZ is intended to give better accuracy. To me this isn't even a question. For the money, I'll take the CZ every single time. Especially for how evenly they are matched.
To compare a P01 to a Legion is a bit unfair. If you compared a Cajun Gun Works P01 with an extra mag and Night Sights you would actually be in the same price range for both. The Legion's features cost more so it should reflect that, of course.
Even though the legion is basically twice as much, its ready out of the box for me. The cz, i have to add night sights, change out the rubber grips, and get a cgw firing pin retaining pin to replace the crappy one cz uses. And ye si know even with that its still cheaper than a legion but my time is worth more to me than the price difference. I love my cz’s but sig nailed it with the legion series
I just got my legion as well. The hump on the grip pf the p01 hits me in the exact wrong spot on my hand, almost as bad as the glock hump. I really wanted to love the p01 but it wasnt meant to be
I only own SIGs, a P75 and a P229 Legion R2. The slide release on the Legion is a little too tiny, consequence of being adapted to the U.S. market. My next pistol will be a SIG P49, probably the best SA handgun ever made.
CZ 75 P-01 all the way! I have carried the P-01 as my daily for well over 2years. Trigger and sights are the weakness. But easily changed. Cajun Gun Works has some great upgrades that make the P-01 even better
I own both, the CZ 75 P 01, and the Sig 229. Both are great, but I prefer the CZ. The first time I hefted a CZ I thought "It feels just like my Browning Hi Power"! I have six other CZ's and have never liked the stock triggers, so I replaced them with CZ 85 triggers. Much more comfortable for ME. I did have some challenges swapping the trigger and hammer and wound up sending it to Cajun Gun Works and then made it right, also upgrading other parts. I have six Sigs, four 1911's, two S&W's, and various other semi-autos. My favorite of them all is the CZ 75 P-01. Unfortunately, I live in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Kommiefornia and I can't buy many desirable hand guns or rifles .Support the second Amendment , and your local police.
I own a standard Sig non railed P229.40 for HD and CZ P-01 for CCW in 9mm. Both outstanding. I love DA/SA with decocker. Very different feels. Each shoot differently. Both wonderful.
I have owned both. P-01 for me because of reliability. Had multiple malfunctions with my P229 Legion. Ergos also work better for me for CZ. The slide release on the P22X series pistols is right where my thumb is, so I tend to ride it when shooting. I don’t have that issue with CZ pistols. The Legion series triggers are very special, although I got the CGW Pro Package installed, which shortens the reach for DA, shortens the reset for SA, and lightens the trigger pull to just under 8 lbs. DA and about 3.75 lbs. SA. Also upgraded to Dawson Precision night sights. Ended up selling the Legion.
@@ricktaylor3748 the legion is so overrated it’s not even funny. This comment aged TERRIBLY. The p01 with cgw trigger is a wayyyyyyy better gun in every way, ask me how I know 🙄
Checking Gunbroker today (December 2021), for the same money you could buy a used 229 Legion, or a new P-01, three extra mags, a decent weapon light for it, and any holster you want. For the price of the least expensive new 229 Legion, you could get all that stuff, plus 150 defensive hollow points and a hi point.
I’ve had nothing but great experiences with CZ. Therefore, it’s my tool of choice. Right out the box it’s very user friendly when it comes to ergonomics & accuracy as you’ve stated. I currently have a SP-01 & PCR on the way and plan to sell or trade my XD-9 for a P-01 when I get the chance too so that when I train, I don’t have to think of how to manipulate a different pistol.
really like the split screen. very helpful. also, on the bullseye at 5:00 really shows how amazing the cz is. we all know the sig legion is a high class pistol, just didn't know how close cz was to it.
I was a huge fan of Sigs...I mean, HUGE fan. I had obviously heard of CZs, but never held one or shot one. I bought a P01 Omega (omega trigger), and my goodness, now I know why it's the best kept secret with most gun experts. All aluminum frame (all metal, but lightweight), perfectly balanced, even when unloaded...The CZ P01 is unbelievable. It's one of those guns where you literally feel like buying a second one (if you can find another), just incase a gun like that is never made again. It's probably the best ergonomically designed pistol ever made, shoots like a dream, and made like a tank. Bar none, CZs are the best of the best.....yes, I think even better than Sigs. They're just a tad better, and you know that when you shoot one.
I own both, with the exception my 229 isn't a legion, but both are excellent firearms. I'm fortunate to have both. To choose between the two I just flat out wouldn't. Both are in my daily carry rotation. Both are flawless in function and I do stake my life on them when carrying them. I'm just happy neither of them are a glock .
I consider CZ and Sig to be equal in quality and reliability. I love my P-01 (9mm) and p239 (357sig). I would really like to get a p229 in 357sig (my preferred carry round) but they are cost prohibitive. I agree Sig has a better trigger. I ordered a Cajun trigger kit and will add that to the mods I've made to my CZ (along with g10 grips and truglo sights - if you haven't ordered these yet you are going to love them!). I put grips and sights on my Sig as well. If CZ would make a 357sig chambered gun this debate would be a no brainer for me, until then I'll just have to own both.
It appeared the 229 had a little more muzzle flip, and was not quite as fast on target reacquisition during rapid fire.. As magazines go, there is a 16 rd factory mag available for the P-01. Ergonomics, for me, goes to the CZ; but that is a personal thing. For the price difference, I'd have to go with the P-01.
The sig has a notoriously high bore axis. And the cz has a notoriously low bore axis. Add to that fact that slide has less mass. That’s why CZ’s shoot so soft. Both are great pistols though
Very fair assessment IMO. I love my Sigs, but I can't justify the cost for this one when you can buy a trigger kit from Cajon, MCarbo, or Apex. The CZ P-01 is like a hammer fired Glock 19. More safe and smooth AF.
CZ p-01. For $600, either shoot it alot to smooth out the action or get cajun gun works stuff for a few hundred more and you'll have a marvelous handgun with "almost" crystal break trigger (return distance still not the greatest) for LESS than a Sig factory stock. Also, it is almost unanimous among people who have shot the CZ75 is that the gun melts into your hands. The very aggressive swept grip angle just makes a non-backstrap/panel grip gun be almost heaven in ergos in your hands.
Nice review! Thanks! But the difference in cost is huge. $600 for the CZ and the Legion is what like $1250? I’d like to see the CZ with the Cajun pro package at an additional cost of $460 bucks go up against the Legion. Then we’d be a lot closer in cost. I love the Sig Legion but for $1060 I’ll take a Cajunized P01 every day of the week.
CZ Custom can easily upgrade the stock trigger to give it a shorter reach, a shorter reset, and the smoothest action of any DA/SA trigger . . . and it will still cost you less than the Sig. CZ ergos are fantastic. To me, Sig's are as "blocky" as Glock's . . . its just something you need to adjust to.
Like others have said, you're comparing a $600 gun to a $1200 gun. A CGW short reset trigger on that P01 will take care of the trigger for you and come in far less.
I own a CZ 85 and a couple of 229s. The CZ is definitely more accurate, but I love them both. A more accurate comparison would be the CZ and the 226 full sized pistols. I have those as well. Still love them both. Still give the accuracy win to CZ. Having said that, I carry the SIG.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the 229 Legion is twice the price of the Zero One. Twice the cost, but you get an extra mag for that $600. lol A more fair comparison would’ve been to the CZ Shadow 2. But you do you.
Probably the 2nd or 3rd time i watched this video, had a P01 and sold it (dumb move). I quickly replaced it with a PCR which have a few differences, but basically the same thing as the P01. I don't use the rail at all on my carry rotation so i like the PCR more, conceals a little better for me. Thanks again for all your experiences Nolan, hopefully I'll be able too handle a sidearm as well as you......
Cool video. Ive been looking at a made in usa hammer fire with decocker. Saw the CZ, but thinking i want an all metal pistol. Looking at p229 in 40 so i can 357 and 9mm swap it. Other option is the new M9A4 Beretta made in Tennessee. Both about the same price, but law enforcement models can be cheaper. P229 for the win btw. All metal 229 has been around for a min.
Why are you comparing a Legion and not a standard P-229? Because you've had one for a while? With the price difference the P-01 could be enhanced for an apples to apples comparison to a legion. Did a comparison several years back that compared the P-01 directly to the P228, the closest SIG counterpart. Something that's usually over-looked is what happens when you decock these pistols. The SIG hammers drop to the slide while the CZs drop to half-cock. Guess which first pull DA will be longer?
I'm a CZ P-01 fan, love mine. I know Sig people love Sig... but he's putting a $750 pistol against a $1250 pistol (in 2022). So it's a weird "versus video" premise...people do care about price... you could upgrade a P-01 trigger, springs, sight OR get it Cajunized and still be under $1250.
I think the CZ is an incredible gun, regardless of the price. It's my personal favorite that I own.
I agree i sold both of my B92 and bought cz s
@@metallampman You messed up. Arch Stanton was the name on the grave in~ The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Sell that cheap @$$ CZ.
@@mrimd4643 You can get the steel roll pin from CGW that will fix that problem. But definitely agree on the roll pin. If you dry fire you definitely need to upgrade to the steel roll pin.
I know no one is going to see this, but I rather own 2x the CZ’s all day.
I guess I am kind of off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch new series online?

P229 for me but the CZ is sweet as well...
Tough cal for me. I am in love with nearly all things CZ, but the 229 has always been a dream gun for me. Either is a winner in my collection.
knox2613. Treat yourself, buy the Sig Legion. You won't be sorry, there'a no better pistol on the market..The Legion has all the best upgrades, the CZ doesn't.
Rick Taylor Thanks for the recommendation!
@@ClearBrookExotics You're very welcome.
You'll pay a little more for the Sig, but the quality will more than make up the difference, I have several sig Legion pistols, the trigger reset, and quality is amazing.
@@ricktaylor3748 a little? More like double the price
Sig P229 Legion. I own one and it's the best shooting handgun I've ever owned. I've owned Glocks, Walter PPQ, Sigs, S&W's, Springfields, and the P229 Legion shoots smoother and more accurate than all of them....and I have the .40 cal version.

The Sig is overpriced for what it is.
Lots of sig p229s for 550 to700 in and around seattle ,and we are expensive,usually a cz is pretty close ,both go up extensively when there is custom work done
Unfortunately; Sig Sauer doesn't give two $h!ts about lefties 😵
The vast majority of the gun community doesn't give a shat about "Lefties". HAR!
Better comparison would have been a standard CZ p-01 vs standard Sig 229.
What are you talking about? That was the standard P-01 (not the Omega trigger). The only thing he changed out for the test was the grips. Personally I like the stock rubber grips.
He's saying the Sig isnt standard. It's the higher end version. The Sig in this video is roughly twice the cost of the CZ.
The only Sig I have is an older P230 I bought second hand. Good guns, but overpriced.
@@easyfiveOsink Not if you consider their quality and reliability compared to most other makes. However, the CZs are actually comparable at almost half the price.
Is this not a standard CZ?
I have an SP-01 and 226. Slightly different, but close enough.
The 226 Scorpion was my holy grail gun, but when I got talked into buying the SP-01, I quickly understood what the fuss was all about. Not only is it as well-built, if not better than, the 226; the SP-01 fits like a glove and is incredibly accurate. It can out-shoot the 226 every time. Design-wise, the CZs recessed slide makes a huge difference in recoil, and is a vastly superior design to the full-height Sig slide. It's probably why CZs are used so much in competition.
My 226 is just a Nitron version, but I added the SRT kit [and a new grip], so it's functionally identical to my nephew's Scorpion. (I love the look of the Scorpion. It was $600 more than my Nitron tho.) It's amazing that Sig would sell a 226 without the SRT, since it shoots like ass. My trigger feels just like the Scorpion now, but for some reason the SRT doesn't thrill me like the first time. (Probably because the Sig isn't as natural to hold as the CZ.) It is still a fantastic gun if you want to spend the money. Otherwise, you can get just as amazing performance from another gun that's half the price.
If you love the Sig, my advice is to buy the cheapest version, add the SRT kit (about $40+install) and customize as desired. Sig charges a lot more for upgraded versions than the upgrades are worth IMO. I shoot my nephew's Scorpion better than my 226, but my nephew shoots my 226 better than his. Other than the color, the grips and the tail, [and $500+] it's the same gun.
Last week I picked up the CZ75 Tactical Sport. It proved to me that even CZ's more expensive guns are just as good bargains as their cheaper ones. IMHO, the Tactical Sport has one of the best triggers of any production handgun in any price range. It is completely for competition, but at $1,300 it is an insane value - a 2lb. trigger pull right out of the box! [and three mags]
I'm still a Sig fan, and it's a fun gun to shoot, but if I had to pick one, the CZ just wins hands down - even if the price were the same! I think the SP-01 [and the whole CZ line] is easily one of the best values in steel-frame 9mm guns, and one of the best designs too. I'm still keeping my 226 though. Two great guns at very different price points.
Love my legion 229!
The Sig has less muzzle rise. High bore axis is a non-issue.
Own both. Love both. Did cajunize my CZ and upgrade the sights. Legion is my home defense gun. Cz is my carry gun. It’s just so much easier to conceal than the Legion. The short reset trigger on the Legion is unbeatable. Great video!
Why is it easier? I’m between both for CC
@@Joe-dd5fi the cz is not near as bulky. That Legion is a hammer! I did get a hidden hybrid holster for the legion which is very comfortable and makes appendix carry of the legion much more doable.
@@jimmyzuniga6838 Hidden Hybrids! That's where I get all of my holsters. Never had a complaint. Glad to see another believer.
Kinda unfair to compare the Legion to a vanilla P-01
Hoping Oakland holds together at this time. Meanwhile, I miss Laureano’s throws and Chapman’s late-inning heroics.
You right CZ wins everytime
No, its fair. CZ's punch above thier weight.
@Rocketman9mm, you're right. The plain CZ beats out that fancy Sig. A tricked out CZ would totally Destroy a Sig or Anything other gun out there.
Love my Sigs love my CZs, thank God I dont have to choose.
I’m surprised anyone would make a big deal about 14 rounds vs 15 rounds. Ridiculous to make that an issue in choosing either of these guns.
I decided not to choose, I purchased both!
I'll sell the Sig & buy 2 CZ's 😂
Jason Milschmidt buy me one
Jason Schmidt
That's like selling your Ferrari and buying two Toyota Prius cars.
@@ricktaylor3748 Yeah, keep the Sig and Buy a P-01.
@@kentnordland5034
I. don't care for cheap, stamped out Czechoslovakian toys.
Both pistols are really nice! I had the Sig Legion but I couldn’t overcome the large grip and high borax, so I sold it.
Now, the CZ, has been the best pistol I’ve ever shot, grip is awesome and the lower borax makes follow up shots much easier! The sights were so, so..so I bought some TruGlo TFX’s, huge improvement.
IMO, the CZ was the much superior pistol for me.
The CZ doesn't have a low bore axis.... Just because the top of the slide is short doesn't mean that its barrel is lower. The bore axis is 1.57", higher than a Browning Hi Power, Walther PPQ, Canik TP-9, and essentially all of Ruger's hand guns. The reason follow up shots are easier is the grip and slightly lower reciprocating slide mass. But this is NOT a low bore axis gun.
@@conman1395 "1.57 higher"?
As in 1.57 inches?
Not even close.
I own both and my biggest gripe with P01 is difficulty in racking the slide. Some people just have strong fingers, I guess. Hopefully, the red dot will help me out, if it can withstand being used to rack the slide.
Stock CZ is 1/2 the price of the Legion.
MedicRNMike stock but when you start adding you start adding...
Picked up my P-01 second hand, but never used with the extra mag and case for $419. SIGs like Glock are great guns, but you're always paying premium for that brand name. If I ever find a SIG at a sensible price, I'll buy one. Until then there are a lot of other good guns priced to sell.
yeah but its still a pretty close comparison performance wise, if you up the anti on the CZ by say comparing the Legion to a shadow line P-01 or a Cajunized one the CZ would likely blow away the Legion.
Who cares, it's the Sig Legion. Cost isn't an issue.
@@ricktaylor3748 For you maybe. But it is an issue for others.
I like the CZ better If it's set up in the same way as the legion.
if you were to list out all the extra cost to bring it up to the legions level the pricing would come out around the same
Gun $550-600
Night sights $100-150
Cajun trigger- I think those are around $350
And legion comes with 3 mags so that's another $35-40
Total cost for CZ set up the same, or close to the legions = $1000-1100
Jake Wells my point exactly
And the sig still shoots better
CZ sells 16 round mags for the P-01, with grip extension. I bought a couple for my P-01, also fits my PCR.
Steve Browning My urban grey P01 came with two 16rd mags. My black P01 came with two 14rd mags. And I believe any 75 mag will work..
Steve Browning which do you like better your PCR or P01? I can’t decide between the two of them for EDC.
Mec gar also makes flush 16 round mags for all the 75 variants.
Love seeing videos on DA/SA pistols. Keep up the good work man!!!
That's a rough choice! "Both are great handgunds". I think the cz p-01 is the one I would say is slightly better, I like the ergos on a 75 design.
Low Light I’ve had both and yes the P01 in an excellent handgun. I have a Sig now. It’s all about how they fit your hand and witch one points more naturally. I do miss my P01, but I don’t have but a few handguns that have specific purposes. The P01 is a fine handgun and a very good value quality firearm.
Excellent comparison brother! Keep on with what you are doing because in my humble opinion your content is as good as any out there!
229 is much more comfortable. Fit my hand perfectly. Snug fit into the beaver tail
Why decide on one??? You have two hands, keep 'em both.
CZ P01 every single time, not even in the same ball park. CZ are the Lord's of Pistols, Sig not so much, they tend to copy others poorly
The Sig P229 Legion is on another level. Is also a very sexy gun. With that said I'm thinking of adding a CZ to my collection.
P229 Legion, it requires no upgrades out of the box! CZ P-01 could use some custom work (e.g. trigger, sights) - not a fair comparison IMO. Regular P229 sure but not a Legion.
I love CZ’s. Aftermarket parts are a little harder to find, but all in all I feel that, for the price, the 75 platform is at the top of a lot of folks lists.
We make
Excellent video, very well thought out. I'm currently in the same pickle, trying to choose between keeping my new CZ-75B Omega convertible, or trading it for the Sig-Sauer Legion. The CZ had a gritty trigger that improved greatly after a couple of boxes of ammo. Love the way it shoots, though, better than the Sig except the Legion does have that fantastic trigger. The problem is that my CZ is full sized steel frame so kinda heavy for daily carry, where the Legion is perfect for me. I'd love to keep both, but I also have a Sig P210 Legend, so need a 3rd 9mm like I need (another) hole in my head. Life is so full of terrible, terrible choices.....
I’ve always regretted selling any of my guns…
I own both...
F'n love my CZ...
But it's Sig P229 L for those who are asking...
My CZ is chambered in 9mm and the Legion is .40 cal
The CZ is a less expensive but my $1,300 Legion is in it's class of its own, very soft shooting! Well worth the cost you get what you pay for!
Very fond of DA/SA. CZ P - 01, fits like a glove 👌 feels so good, grips so good, shoots dam well. The Sig P229 sturdy, strong, I feel like I could chop on par with Paul Bunyan reminds me of the X-Files of FBI Agent Mulder and Scully. Honestly I liked them both can't go wrong or one over the other in my opinion.
- Honorable mentions: Beretta 92x ahh man, shoots so good, the open top barrel, leveled slide action, just saying. If you got the $$$$ Beretta LLT oh man flawless victory.
It's 1 less round. 1, not 3 or 4. And besides, you have more mags for a CZ P01 over a sig 229 or 226. And mags are less than half the price for the same mag for the most part.
You sound like a fud.
Great video.. I have been looking at both and decided with the sig...
I wonder how this woulda went if it was a standard P-01 vs standard P229...then do a upgraded CZ custom or a CGW P-01 vs the P229 legion.
Cgw p01 wayy better
I love the legion.
Internal slide rails do not lower the bore axis. They raise the sides of the visible portion of the slides. Internal external rails makes NO difference. Go DCMA!
With a difference of $600 you can definitely have CGW build out your P-01 to probably a better gun than the SIG and still have enough money eft to buy an extra 10 mags.
PlanetRigo $$$ left over for a few16rd factory P01 mags, night sights and a 1000rd case of ammo!
Yeah I got a cgw production legal kit for $150? Put it in myself, via a youtube walk through. Now I have around a 5-6 lb DA and 2.8 lb single action. I think my trigger is better than my friend's legion, but his is still good and it's a nice gun.
Had to click on this video because it features my two favorite pistols. Love them both so much.
Look a cajun gun works to fix that reset an lighten that DA pull on that cz. Once you get the cgw parts installed it takes the P01 to a unbelievable level
Not even going to watch the video I owned both guns CZ all the way not even comparable thanks have a great day.
Lol short sweet and to the point
@@SCRAMBY18 Well I kept one of them made it super easy happy Easter =)
I think a better comparison would have been the CZ Shadow 2 vs the Sig Legion, either way great review. Love me some CZ!
This was about as fair a comparison as could be had I think. The shadow shits all over the legion
Isn't Shadow 2 a larger gun.
very nice review. Now it would be very interresting to see a review of the Shadow 2 and the P226 sao Legion ;-)
My CZ75 sp01 and Sig p226 elite are both great guns
I have fired both of these pistol types extensively, however the CZ P-01 Omega, in Urban Gray suppressor ready. As for the SIG, in fairness, it is actually a P228. The difference between the P228 vs the P229 is that the '28 was made witha stamped steel/welded block slide (in Germany) and the '29 is made in New Hampshire, with a slide milled from billet (to accommodate .40 S&W/.357SIG rounds. The Legion is well regarded as it is a 'factory custom'. I find both pistols outstanding. I have found that the accuracy a draw (as good as you could ever want). The CZ Omega trigger is swappable from decocker to safety, and starts smooth and REALLY smooths out after a coupl hundred rounds. The standard SIG P228 came back from a factory refurbishing with a great trigger. I would say that the CZ is the better buy, better in your hand, but the P228 is slightly easier to conceal. The suppressor ready CZ has FANTASTIC sights, no need to change them! I have at least 5k rounds through the CZ without a hiccup, the SIG has closer to 8k rounds but doesn't like all ammo.
I also wear a medium sized glove and I have trouble reaching the CZ trigger in DA. When I got my first CZ, which was a PCR, I noticed the reach issue and went online to see if there was anything that could be done. I found out about CGW and immediately ordered their pro package (which includes their reach reduction kit) and some other miscellaneous parts. Once I got everything installed, that gun went from great to phenomenal and I had no problems reaching the trigger anymore. With the polishing job that I did and the aftermarket parts, I got the trigger in the PCR down to a buttery smooth 8lb DA and a 3.5lb single action that broke like glass with absolutely no overtravel at all.
Ever since then, if I’m buying a CZ, I go ahead and place that order with CGW as well. Granted, it raises the cost of the gun pretty significantly but it’s worth every penny to me. I actually just received another pro package that I’m about to install on my brand new P-01 Decocker that’s supposed to be arriving any day now.
Considering the price on the Legion pistols, it would actually make a lot more sense to compare it to a Cajunized P-01. I’m familiar with Sig triggers and Bruce Gray’s triggers and I don’t think either of them can hold a candle to a CGW trigger. A P-01 with a full pro package will end up costing you roughly $900, depending on the cost of the gun itself and these Legion guns are still significantly more expensive.
Are you me? This describes my time with CZ as well.
CallMeTaste I love my CZ’s. Every time I let someone else shoot one of them, they’re totally blown away by it.
@@kylestewart4444 it’s because the cz75 pistol type was one of the first that basically asked the question no one asked pre 1970’s. “How do we make a browning high power but better”
Thus, the cz75’s original variation was born. The smith and Wesson generations were basically product improved 1911’s, the 220 was a DA/SA 210. The beretta 92 was the 92.
It would have been interesting if you could have compared it to the P01 with the Omega trigger.
Sig without a doubt
I have the legion p226 and CZ Shadow 2, believe the Shadow 2 is the best competition handgun on the market, I think the legion is the best defensive/tactical pistol on the market.
Which is better? In quality and durability. Thx
All depends CZ for competition, sig is an excellent gun for a handgun class and training because of the decocker.
Surely Sig
CZ P - 01 for me without a doubt.
Agreed!
Try getting a job, you won't have to buy cheap shit.
Ah, never mind, you don't need a gun anyway.
@Grant Archer
Yeah, I've had several CZ pistols and rifles. The quality was poor, at best. Accuracy wasn't all that good either.
FYI : NATO chose the Sig P 320 not the CZ. Look at the Sig group in this video, it was by far more accurate than the CZ.
Sig cost more, because they're built better. I'm not "butt hurt." I can afford quality, not cheap Czechoslovakia made junk.
@Grant Archer
If the trigger on the CZ was any more forward, it would be outside the trigger guard. _VERY_user unfriendly.
@@ricktaylor3748 well said and if anyone things a cz 75 is anywhere near the quality of a sig legion they dont know guns. The cz trigger is like pulling on a ball of playdo. Crap trigger reset and squishy. The sig is crisp and instant reset. Better grips better sights better trigger and made in America.
Would rather have 2 p01’s than a legion
Mike Lawry. You've obviously never held the Legion.
I wouldn't trade one Legion for 10 CZ P-01 pistols.

You rather have two Czechoslovakian pieces of junk, than the Sig Legion ? You have poor taste in handguns.
@@ricktaylor3748 you just have a very obvious bias
@@jaredthompson8188
Not really, I have high standards in handguns. I despise cheap firearms.
@@ricktaylor3748 you confuse cheap with value
The Legion will only go up in price as times goes by. Saw one for sale once for $800(discounted) when it first came out. Now they are like $1,200-$1,600 depending if it have the Romeo red dot.
If you think that grey guns trigger is the best you have to Get a Cajun gun works trigger in that po1 trust me. I have one in my p07 it changed that gun
I own the p229 in a 40 handles well good groping very nice to shoot
Um, for the price difference you could buy at least ten, probably 20, more mags for the CZ P-01! Also, you dropped a round or two on the small plate with the SIG. That smaller rear sight cutout on the CZ is intended to give better accuracy. To me this isn't even a question. For the money, I'll take the CZ every single time. Especially for how evenly they are matched.
P229 is too fat for my hands. The CZ is perfect.
To compare a P01 to a Legion is a bit unfair. If you compared a Cajun Gun Works P01 with an extra mag and Night Sights you would actually be in the same price range for both. The Legion's features cost more so it should reflect that, of course.
Even though the legion is basically twice as much, its ready out of the box for me. The cz, i have to add night sights, change out the rubber grips, and get a cgw firing pin retaining pin to replace the crappy one cz uses. And ye si know even with that its still cheaper than a legion but my time is worth more to me than the price difference. I love my cz’s but sig nailed it with the legion series
MSRP is double the price. Literally just picked up my legion yesterday for 950
I just got my legion as well. The hump on the grip pf the p01 hits me in the exact wrong spot on my hand, almost as bad as the glock hump. I really wanted to love the p01 but it wasnt meant to be
@@mrgoodkat8567 to each their own
Why not the Omega vs the Legion instead of a stock CZ against the upgraded Sig?
Omega triggers will never be as good as a traditional 75 trigger.
@@zarinkai2927 thanks for that.
I only own SIGs, a P75 and a P229 Legion R2. The slide release on the Legion is a little too tiny, consequence of being adapted to the U.S. market. My next pistol will be a SIG P49, probably the best SA handgun ever made.
CZ 75 P-01 all the way! I have carried the P-01 as my daily for well over 2years. Trigger and sights are the weakness. But easily changed. Cajun Gun Works has some great upgrades that make the P-01 even better
CZ for the win 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
I own both, the CZ 75 P 01, and the Sig 229. Both are great, but I prefer the CZ. The first time I hefted a CZ I thought "It feels just like my Browning Hi Power"!
I have six other CZ's and have never liked the stock triggers, so I replaced them with CZ 85 triggers. Much more comfortable for ME.
I did have some challenges swapping the trigger and hammer and wound up sending it to Cajun Gun Works and then made it right, also upgrading other parts.
I have six Sigs, four 1911's, two S&W's, and various other semi-autos. My favorite of them all is the CZ 75 P-01.
Unfortunately, I live in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Kommiefornia and I can't buy many desirable hand guns or rifles
.Support the second Amendment , and your local police.
FYI my p01 came with 15 round mags and I have the CZ +3 extensions for a total of 18+1
I own a standard Sig non railed P229.40 for HD and CZ P-01 for CCW in 9mm. Both outstanding. I love DA/SA with decocker. Very different feels. Each shoot differently. Both wonderful.
I have owned both.
P-01 for me because of reliability. Had multiple malfunctions with my P229 Legion.
Ergos also work better for me for CZ. The slide release on the P22X series pistols is right where my thumb is, so I tend to ride it when shooting. I don’t have that issue with CZ pistols.
The Legion series triggers are very special, although I got the CGW Pro Package installed, which shortens the reach for DA, shortens the reset for SA, and lightens the trigger pull to just under 8 lbs. DA and about 3.75 lbs. SA.
Also upgraded to Dawson Precision night sights.
Ended up selling the Legion.
Selling your Legion was stupid. CZ's are a dime a dozen.
Anyone who has "multiple malfunctions with my P229" is an idiot, period!!
Red Car looks like I hit a nerve.
Rick Taylor to each his own.
Legions are not exactly rare. I can easily obtain another one if I had the desire. But I don’t miss it at all.
@@ricktaylor3748 the legion is so overrated it’s not even funny. This comment aged TERRIBLY. The p01 with cgw trigger is a wayyyyyyy better gun in every way, ask me how I know 🙄
Checking Gunbroker today (December 2021), for the same money you could buy a used 229 Legion, or a new P-01, three extra mags, a decent weapon light for it, and any holster you want. For the price of the least expensive new 229 Legion, you could get all that stuff, plus 150 defensive hollow points and a hi point.
I’ve had nothing but great experiences with CZ. Therefore, it’s my tool of choice. Right out the box it’s very user friendly when it comes to ergonomics & accuracy as you’ve stated.
I currently have a SP-01 & PCR on the way and plan to sell or trade my XD-9 for a P-01 when I get the chance too so that when I train, I don’t have to think of how to manipulate a different pistol.
really like the split screen. very helpful. also, on the bullseye at 5:00 really shows how amazing the cz is. we all know the sig legion is a high class pistol, just didn't know how close cz was to it.
I was a huge fan of Sigs...I mean, HUGE fan. I had obviously heard of CZs, but never held one or shot one. I bought a P01 Omega (omega trigger), and my goodness, now I know why it's the best kept secret with most gun experts. All aluminum frame (all metal, but lightweight), perfectly balanced, even when unloaded...The CZ P01 is unbelievable. It's one of those guns where you literally feel like buying a second one (if you can find another), just incase a gun like that is never made again. It's probably the best ergonomically designed pistol ever made, shoots like a dream, and made like a tank. Bar none, CZs are the best of the best.....yes, I think even better than Sigs. They're just a tad better, and you know that when you shoot one.
The metgar mags that come with the canik t100 hold 15 rounds and fit and function just fine in my cz p01 nato green edition.
. . good info right there ! . . Thx
Can't go wrong with either, but I would still get both just for the collection.
I own both, with the exception my 229 isn't a legion, but both are excellent firearms. I'm fortunate to have both. To choose between the two I just flat out wouldn't. Both are in my daily carry rotation. Both are flawless in function and I do stake my life on them when carrying them. I'm just happy neither of them are a glock .
I would take the CZ P-01. The legion is a great! gun, but you are paying extra for the name, and the membership perks, in my opinion.
I consider CZ and Sig to be equal in quality and reliability. I love my P-01 (9mm) and p239 (357sig). I would really like to get a p229 in 357sig (my preferred carry round) but they are cost prohibitive. I agree Sig has a better trigger. I ordered a Cajun trigger kit and will add that to the mods I've made to my CZ (along with g10 grips and truglo sights - if you haven't ordered these yet you are going to love them!). I put grips and sights on my Sig as well. If CZ would make a 357sig chambered gun this debate would be a no brainer for me, until then I'll just have to own both.
It appeared the 229 had a little more muzzle flip, and was not quite as fast on target reacquisition during rapid fire.. As magazines go, there is a 16 rd factory mag available for the P-01. Ergonomics, for me, goes to the CZ; but that is a personal thing. For the price difference, I'd have to go with the P-01.
Throw a stainless steel guide rod in that CZ with a slightly heavier recoil spring... stock sights suck but meprolite makes solid replacements
The sig has a notoriously high bore axis. And the cz has a notoriously low bore axis. Add to that fact that slide has less mass. That’s why CZ’s shoot so soft. Both are great pistols though
I own both but ended up using the CZ as a prop to keep my table from wobbling. All its really good for honestly.
I believe the Sig locks longer in the firing position, like an HK. Used 229's are in 400's and still shoot sweet.
Austin Horne lmao.
P229 baby
CZ new $500. Sig police trade $400.
Very fair assessment IMO. I love my Sigs, but I can't justify the cost for this one when you can buy a trigger kit from Cajon, MCarbo, or Apex. The CZ P-01 is like a hammer fired Glock 19. More safe and smooth AF.
CZ p-01. For $600, either shoot it alot to smooth out the action or get cajun gun works stuff for a few hundred more and you'll have a marvelous handgun with "almost" crystal break trigger (return distance still not the greatest) for LESS than a Sig factory stock. Also, it is almost unanimous among people who have shot the CZ75 is that the gun melts into your hands. The very aggressive swept grip angle just makes a non-backstrap/panel grip gun be almost heaven in ergos in your hands.
That 229 sao though
I've shot the P229 and P226. I've even shot a ported P229 with a dot, and goodness they shoot SUPER flat.
Nice review! Thanks! But the difference in cost is huge. $600 for the CZ and the Legion is what like $1250? I’d like to see the CZ with the Cajun pro package at an additional cost of $460 bucks go up against the Legion. Then we’d be a lot closer in cost. I love the Sig Legion but for $1060 I’ll take a Cajunized P01 every day of the week.
Canick p100...could have 3 for price of sig...way overpriced.
CZ p01 is NATO issue
I'd buy the P-01, get the Cajun Gun Works trigger job in a bag and have a much improved firearm that still costs way less than the Sig Legion.
CZp01 all day
CZ Custom can easily upgrade the stock trigger to give it a shorter reach, a shorter reset, and the smoothest action of any DA/SA trigger . . . and it will still cost you less than the Sig. CZ ergos are fantastic. To me, Sig's are as "blocky" as Glock's . . . its just something you need to adjust to.
AZ-Chris and less expensive
Like others have said, you're comparing a $600 gun to a $1200 gun. A CGW short reset trigger on that P01 will take care of the trigger for you and come in far less.
I own a CZ 85 and a couple of 229s. The CZ is definitely more accurate, but I love them both. A more accurate comparison would be the CZ and the 226 full sized pistols. I have those as well. Still love them both. Still give the accuracy win to CZ. Having said that, I carry the SIG.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the 229 Legion is twice the price of the Zero One. Twice the cost, but you get an extra mag for that $600. lol
A more fair comparison would’ve been to the CZ Shadow 2. But you do you.
Probably the 2nd or 3rd time i watched this video, had a P01 and sold it (dumb move). I quickly replaced it with a PCR which have a few differences, but basically the same thing as the P01. I don't use the rail at all on my carry rotation so i like the PCR more, conceals a little better for me. Thanks again for all your experiences Nolan, hopefully I'll be able too handle a sidearm as well as you......
I have both and they're both quality guns. I like SA DA guns much better than striker fired
Cool video. Ive been looking at a made in usa hammer fire with decocker. Saw the CZ, but thinking i want an all metal pistol. Looking at p229 in 40 so i can 357 and 9mm swap it. Other option is the new M9A4 Beretta made in Tennessee. Both about the same price, but law enforcement models can be cheaper. P229 for the win btw. All metal 229 has been around for a min.
CZ for me, please. Feels so right in my hand. Plus if looks count, if the two were girls, the CZ is the one you'd ask out.
Why are you comparing a Legion and not a standard P-229? Because you've had one for a while? With the price difference the P-01 could be enhanced for an apples to apples comparison to a legion. Did a comparison several years back that compared the P-01 directly to the P228, the closest SIG counterpart. Something that's usually over-looked is what happens when you decock these pistols. The SIG hammers drop to the slide while the CZs drop to half-cock. Guess which first pull DA will be longer?
I'm a CZ P-01 fan, love mine. I know Sig people love Sig... but he's putting a $750 pistol against a $1250 pistol (in 2022). So it's a weird "versus video" premise...people do care about price... you could upgrade a P-01 trigger, springs, sight OR get it Cajunized and still be under $1250.
