I have the P-01 and the P-07. They are both great guns and I am not letting either one of them go. I give a slight edge to the P-01 because it is an all metal gun.
I shoot a CZ P-07 ever since I tried one in my hand for fit. I have factory night sighs and everything is all factory. I won't shoot anything else until someone convinces me that another pistol is better. I've been shooting it for 6 years now! Thanks for the video!!!!
Both are 2 of my absolute favorite pistols of all time. I have shot hundreds of pistols, used to be a range officer. I used to rent out a P07 and most normal people never heard of it, i used to nudge people to try it and most of them were shocked at how easy and well it shoots. Both of them are on my must have list. Glock, CZ, and Steyr are my top 3 pistol brands today. Lots of others i love too but those are my top 3 picks
I bought my P-07 when they first became available here. Many years and thousands of rounds later, I still think it's great. I was always a CZ fan, and had CZ-75B's and CZ-85's among others - I love them all. The P-07's huge trigger guard is great for shooting on the outdoor range during the 8-month winters here in the Great White North. I heard comments like "Polymer isn't good in the cold" when I bought the P-07, but never had any problems. My P-07 seems to run on whatever I feed it. It's comfortable, accurate, easy to service, rugged and reliable, like all my CZ's. We don't have Concealed or Open Carry permits here in Canada. However, before retirement I worked in the U.S.A. several times. Wherever they were available, I would always get a carry permit (this was actually in quite a few States). My P-07 was my go-to choice for EDC, as it would be if & when we get legal carry permits here. (We won't always have SoyBoys in Ottawa!). I found it hilarious, if ironic, that I had to bring the P-07 to the airport in a sturdy locked case, but as soon as I'd arrived at my destination, I could put my P-07 on my belt. Since retiring, I haven't bought every new CZ handgun that's come along - I'm more inclined to spend money on ammo - and I have a several very nice CZ rifles and handguns. I'm glad I've got the P-07 - the only downside is that if I visit friends in the U.S.A. as a tourist, I can no longer get a carry permit in most places. While working, I was "legit" - now I'm just a retired cyber-geek/pixie-wrangler. If I try to bring a firearm into the U.S.A. now - for example if I have an invitation to compete in a pistol match or service rifle event - U.S. Border Services just flip right out. Even with all the right paperwork, it's just not worth the hassle. Pity.

The less snappy/muzzle flip result I find to be true in my full size SP-01 tactical vs. my P09 as well. My only knock on the P09 or P07 is the ergo is great but I prefer the SP01 and the P09/P07 could use just a little more tacky in the grip. All are excellent guns. I just picked up a Phantom and it bridges the gap between all steel tactical and the P09, it just isn't quite as sexy. So the Phantom has become my car pistol.
I have a CZ 75B Omega and it's an old school style tack-driver! It's my favorite pistol. I just recently got rid of my Sig P320 AXG Carry (LEO/First Responder all metal) compact for a CZ P-07 so I could have a lighter hammer-fired DA/SA pistol that was easy to carry & shoot! I got a set of talon grips, Dawson sights, a CGW SS guide rod and spring, M-Carbo Spring Kit and smoothed out the internals! I now have around a 7 1/2 lb DA and 3.3lb SA trigger pull. It shoots like a dream after one box of range ammo. I'm guessing it'll smooth out much more after about 500 rounds! Thanks for the videos!
I shot both of these guns and as much as I don’t want to admit it, I actually prefer the p07. It’s plastic and doesn’t have the NATO certification cool factor and all but it just left a better overall impression on me. Believe me, I wasn’t expecting that and wish that wasn’t the case because I think the p01 is classic and more cool 😎. Good stuff
And how much importance has the fact that it has no NATO certification? Sorry for my language, but I don't give a shit if my pistol has or has not a NATO certification. If it is precise and reliable it is enough for me. I use for a decade a piece of junk called Carpati in 7.65 mm as service pistol, and I am making steps to obtain the permit for a personal weapon and to buy an CZ. The gun laws in Romania are quite restrictive, but fortunately for myself as being in active service it is easier. And I am trying to figure out if I should go for that alloy frame and classic look of the P-01 or should I put my trust in that plastic cool looking P-07. Regards.
I bought the p07 because I wanted to try the polymer lower my alloy rami cracked at mag release(rami leads a tough life). Did shoot p01 and the one I shoot was a good shooter just wanted polymer to see how it handles the same life rami has endured. I run with safety not decocker so trigger is a bit better. The gun is very easy to shoot well.
P-07 for me, all day long. I keep meaning to buy some other CZs but end up just getting more P-07s :) One huge pro for me with the P-07/P-09 is that the slide can easily be milled for an RMR. I still have CZ Custom MTAC rear/fiber front sights on one P-07 but the rest have RMRs with custom suppressor-height plain black rear/fiber front sights. I absolutely love this setup.
Nice review. Thanks. I've never held a CZ-P01, but I carry a CZ-P07 which I love. As others have commented, I think you meant to say that the short front sight causes you to aim too high.
I don't know which I like more , your table top itself , or the P-07 , or the P-01 ! I like "all" three...... Ok , ok , if I could only have one , "drumroll please " I'll take the P-07..... 👍 great review and info BIG J. Thank you sir !!!!!
I have a P-01 and love it. I agree about the recoil being a little snappier than what I expected it to be. I dropped in a DPM recoil system and have noticed a difference. Of course, that costs $80 to get it. But since the P-01 is a carry gun I want all the advantage I can get. I also ordered Dawson night sights from CGW. I got them in and the dots were almost as small as the original sight dots (which are smalllll). Ended up putting on some Trijicon night sights.
Justin, in addition to the CZ P-07 I also own a CZ P-10C. I really do enjoy shooting them both at the range. However, my very 1st pistol and the one I still carry is the M&P Shield 9mm. For me, the Shield is super easy to conceal and the most comfortable for EDC.
I own both, the CZ P-01 was my favorite 9mm until I got the P-07, not only is it extremely flat shooting and accurate, but in my opinion its one of the best looking handguns ever made. And i also run a stainless steel guide rod in my P-01 from NDZ performance, fired 800 rounds through it so far, not damage, not a single malfunction. They are both highly reliable but for me its the P-07
Ive been debating and losing sleep over these 2 pistols for months. Please help me make a final decision. P01 just looks so sexy. Most people prefer P01 but often doesn’t have a concrete reason rather than it looks good or it’s an all metal firearm. The minority that picked the P07 have all said that it shoots much better. P07 also felt better in my hands. Since you own both could you sell me on or the other?
@@kevinc.cucumber3697differences in shootability are probably very minor. I shot a p-01 and it felt completely normal to me. p-01 probably has a better grip and you could upgrade the guide rod. So if you have a connection to the p-01 then just go with that. I’m in the exact same situation
PCR for me. It’s been my EDC for a little over a year now. Tack driver. I prefer the classic look and don’t carry with lights so I chose the PCR over the P-01
Nice video Big J! I have a P-01 and a P-06 (which is essentially a .40 caliber P-01). I love the P-01 and it was a straight shooter right out of the box. The P-06 was hitting about 6 inches low at about 50 feet. Had to change the sights on it and still shoots consistently about an inch lower than it should. Both pistols group nicely, even though the P-06 is a little lower than I like. I put a set of TFX Pro sights on the P-06, which brought the point of impact up about 5 inches. Crazy.
The cgw dawson precision night sights were the correct height for my cz 2075 rami, though I did have to take quite a bit off the rear sight to install it. It is a very nice tritium night sight. I did not know they would be dawson precision sights until I received them. It was my fifth set of night sights that I have installed on different guns and was the best kit of all of them since it came with installation tools and detailed instructions, kudos to dawson. I think the reason that I went to cgw was that trijicon or dawson did not list sights for the cz rami on their respective websites.
I really like my P-07. Esp. after installing $35 worth of springs from CGW and a few hours time polishing the internals. Thanks for the comparison - I've been curious about the P01, but I think I'll stick with what I know and love.
i recently purchased the p07 , curious what springs did you choose, i was gonna order the short reset kit and hs 18 spring and maybe a new roller? any info be awesome thanks
For my P-01 Omega, I use Beretta 92 mag base plates for all my mags. Polymer over steel construction, perfect fit and function, doesn't grab my cover shirt like the rubber. And they only cost about $6 a piece.
I have both of these and the P01 is my favorite shooter and go to. The girlfriend has claimed the P07 as her own. But lately the Sphinx SDP compact (all aluminum upper/lower frame) has become my all time favorite.
Big Johnson Guns and Gear I saw the video, and it was great. I’d like to see some hard primer ammo testing (Freedom Munitions) and others as MWS said it could happen. Maybe another video testing that to help choose this upgrade for a carry gun?
Hmm very interesting. I ride a motorcycle alot, and hike/hunt in the winter so wearing gloves can really screw with you CCW wise. I think this sounds like my experience. I was looking for a P-01 but could not find one. I found an SP-01 tactical, liked it very much still wanted the P-01 when I bought a P-07 in the Suppressor ready package. I told myself when I bought it that it was a mistake and that I would still want a P-01. I was at my local shop a year later and they had two P-01 and a RAMI in stock... I had shot the SP-01 and P-07 enough to know that I basically fell in love with the P-07. I like the trigger, grip,light-weight and the way it seems to just hold flat when shooting....and the controls can be used with winter weight gloves. I figured the P-01 is just a smaller SP-01 so I bought the RAMI instead just for fun.
I like the looks of the P-07 better. Saw one at a gun shop. Got to handle it and liked it. The next week when I went back to the gun shop a guy in front of me purchased it. These days if you see what you have been looking for you better buy it.
I have. Both with the Omega trigger and love them both. The P01 is the tactical versions and has the best night sites I have ever seen even though they are suppressor height they shoot point of aim. I have to say the P01 was made for my hand and my favorite pistol of all time.
The reason I got the P-07 was after shooting the P-01 I wanted one but a little lighter for carry. After shooting both the P-07 is just a little less "snap" after each shot - maybe the polymer frame?
The P-07 was my first gun. Maybe it's the round count, but my stock trigger has been drooled over by guys at the range who "hate" DA/SA for that initial pull weight. I don't have but a bout a thousand rounds thru my P-01(also omega), so I really wouldn't judge. When I carry on a belt, it's the 7 for me.
Cannot comment on the P01 but I can comment on the P07 Duty I own. Everything works well, except the slide is more difficult to rack then my Sig P226. Maybe it’s just me! Own a number of CZ firearms as they are well made and reasonably priced. P07 will not be sold and is used often. JMO
Both have the same length barrel and weight is the same according to CZ specs. P-07 has a polymer frame and P-01 has alloy frame. Polymer frames flex a little and absorbs recoil impulse whereas the alloy frame is rigid and transmits recoil impulse. P-07 should shoot a little softer but some prefer the overall feel of an all metal pistol.
I carry the P01 omega and just got a P07 OD green last month. Haven't changed anything on the P01. P07 trigger was considerably stiffer out of the box so I installed a spring kit from M-CARBO . Now the trigger is lighter and smoother but I still am more accurate with the P01. I think the palm swell grips fill my hands better. Thanks for great videos. Your probably responsible for me looking at the P07 to start with.
Something is funky here. If you're shooting low then making the front sight lower (or the back sight higher) will fix it. (If the front sight is lower then you have to point higher to make it line up.)
I have two P-10C’s, one original with Chech markings and one KS tactical, P-10F and a Shadow 2. Both the tac 10C and 10F have HB Industry triggers. The Shadow 2 is in jail, as Hawai’i is a registration state and with Corona they are doing online appointments and are three months out. I have mine at the end of July and have been fawning over my pistol since early April. I have the Cajun trigger kit and wanted to put it in during my time off but haven’t yet as my gun shop has been super busy. I am now going to put a Norso slide on my P-10C Tactical so I can get my RMR on it. Plus I have to block my +2 mags. Hopefully I can get that done today on my last day of time off
I set my P-07 up the same way: blacked out rear green fiber optic front. As someone else mentioned, I went with the lowest front I could find since I usually hit lower. Even though it's just a pistol I do not recommend anyone doing a whole lot of your own gunsmithing with the sights unless you're set up for it. I tried to change out my own sights and could only do so much with the peen hammer and presses that I have. I had to detach the new sight over a garage floor that still needs to be grouted (big exposed split in the middle) and I almost lost them in that crack!! Also lost the screw for the front, but the Smith I ultimately took it to hooked me up with some type of thread lock (it also had to be hammered on, so I wasn't too worried).
I prefer the P 07..... Love that Omega trigger system. Oh and for the record I had the same sights you got on the P01 on my CZ 75 B Omega... Mine shot high ... hated them and couldn't get them off fast enough. Replaced them with Truglo TFX. Great vid thx
I to have both the P-01 and the P-07. Both are just awesome to shoot. I carry my 07 everywhere. However I don't agree with your comparison on "snap or muzzle rize" out of the 01. You sa8d yourself in the video you must raise your 01 already to compensate for the I'm correct front sight, so your 01 is already canted up before the shot is made, where your 07 is properly sighted and shoots level. My experience is the the complete opposite. The recoil is fit right in the center of my palm and hardly any muzzle rise with the 01. I still get the same feel with my 07 in the palm but not as extreme. I have a tlr on my 07 urban grey tb and I still get a little more rise then the 01. Just my 2 cents. Different strokes for different folks lol
I don't have the P-01 but I have the P-09 (21+1 supressor ready) and just got the P-07 (17+1 supressor ready). I fired about 300 rounds from the P-09 and love it. I have yet to fire the P-07 since I had to leave out on the road a day after I got it. I'm going to get to a range next time home (weather permitting) to put some rounds down range. I want a colt python 357 6.5" barrel military issue but that will come in due time
@@scottperson9487 Whoever you talked to is wrong,ask them about product code 99021 if I remember it correctly, as far as I know there’s only about 350 of them in the country and it is a steel frame with a rail and the slide is marked P01 and a manual safety
Let's see, I own a PCR PRO from CGW and 2 PO1s that I installed the PRO upgrades with the CGW 10X bushings. I have the Dawson F/O sightson my first P01 and I am working on installing my second set of sights on my second PO1.(F/Os) and patiently waiting on XS F8 sights...which could be a long wait.
Tough question! I have both, p01 and 07. Recently I have been carrying the 07. To me the p01 carries easier than the 07 yet both are neck and neck on accuracy and comfort to shoot, it to mention accuracy.
First I have ever heard of someone having a bad experience with CGW. Kinda disapointed to hear that. I order from them fairly regularly, never had a problem. Sorry to hear of your bad experience with them.
Good video and information to put out there . My P-O1 doesn't have a NSN # either and when I spoke with CZ in K.C. they told me they are all NATO. Certified. 25 years of owning CZ's and a wonderful firearmhands down.
I have a PCR and a P-09. So, very similar to the P-01 and the bigger version of the P-07. But compact vs full size. I shoot the P-09 much better. First time I shot it, put 38 rounds right through a 2 inch hole in the center of the target at 10 yards. Never done that on the first time shooting a new gun. It is probably the gun I shoot the best.
Haven't shot a P01 yet, now probably won't either since you say the P01 is a bit more flippy. Will probably go with another P07 with a threaded barrel plus decocker. ..and yessiree, the P07 is an amazing shooter with the Omega trigger, I shoot mine better than I can shoot a G45.. which is another really good shooter. Two favorites but I'd take a P07 over the G45 by a hair bc it does shoot so well. Thanks, you helped me decide what I was going to get as far as a P01 or a P07 tactical, the P07 tactical now. ..and I think its cheaper anyway.
The P-01 isn’t a bad shooter by any means. I was trying to just share my opinion of both in felt recoil. However I’m not recoil sensitive at all personally. Thanks for Watching, Carry On
Cool review. Been looking into these 2. Was looking into the PO7 until I saw the PO1 then came the debate. Hoping my LGS has them so I can give the a try. Thanks.
If I’m not mistaken, a taller front sight would cause your shot to impact even lower.
Yes I thought the same thing.
Unless it had an up arrow painted on it
Yeah, I had the same question.
Marty De Mille yep. A taller front sight will shoot lower.
Exactly, what you do to the rear sight, you do to the bullet trajectory.
What you do to the *front sight* you do the *opposite* to the trajectory.
Dawson has the best customer service on the market. I'm a big fan
Yes Sir they do, TFW Carry On
Yup. I got a front sight height replacement from them. As friendly and accommodating as they could be.
I have the P-01 and the P-07. They are both great guns and I am not letting either one of them go. I give a slight edge to the P-01 because it is an all metal gun.
Good deal, thanks RR I appreciate ya! Carry on
As long as they work they are both good guns. P-01 is pretty

I've had a 97b for years, unfortunate that as the black sheep it doesn't get a ton of custom options but it's a great gun. CZ is amazing.
I've had the CZ 97 B for a tad over a year and it's my favorite hand gun. I even like it better than my Kimber Stainless Raptor .45

Justin, in addition to the CZ P-07 I also own a CZ P-10C. I really do enjoy shooting them both at the range. However, my very 1st pistol and the one I still carry is the M&P Shield 9mm. For me, the Shield is super easy to conceal and the most comfortable for EDC.
Clyde Shufran thanks a bunch
I own both, the CZ P-01 was my favorite 9mm until I got the P-07, not only is it extremely flat shooting and accurate, but in my opinion its one of the best looking handguns ever made. And i also run a stainless steel guide rod in my P-01 from NDZ performance, fired 800 rounds through it so far, not damage, not a single malfunction. They are both highly reliable but for me its the P-07
Ive been debating and losing sleep over these 2 pistols for months. Please help me make a final decision. P01 just looks so sexy. Most people prefer P01 but often doesn’t have a concrete reason rather than it looks good or it’s an all metal firearm. The minority that picked the P07 have all said that it shoots much better. P07 also felt better in my hands. Since you own both could you sell me on or the other?
@@kevinc.cucumber3697differences in shootability are probably very minor. I shot a p-01 and it felt completely normal to me. p-01 probably has a better grip and you could upgrade the guide rod. So if you have a connection to the p-01 then just go with that. I’m in the exact same situation
I have a steel guide rod in my pcr and have had no problems
Never shot the P01 but own a couple P07s and love em.
Good deal, TFW Carry On
I prefer my P07 over my P01. I like both, but I carry the P07 way more.
I agree, TFW Brother! TFW Carry On
Do you carry appendix or 3 oclock? I have trouble hiding the butt of the gun at 3 o’clock
AIWB, TFW Carry On
P-07 for conceal. P-01 for competition
Good Deal, Thanks For Watching! Carry on
I really like the PO7. I didn't think to ad another guide rod. Very interesting.
Thanks for Watching, Carry On
I know it's a bit off topic, but I have the PCR model with the decocker and I absolutely love it! Great guns all of these CZ's👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes Sir, #czlife! TFW Carry On
I bought my blacked out rear sight for my PCR from CZ Custom. It went on fairly easily, and works great.
Good deal, TFW Carry On
PCR for me. It’s been my EDC for a little over a year now. Tack driver. I prefer the classic look and don’t carry with lights so I chose the PCR over the P-01
Good deal, TFW Brother! Carry on
Without seeing this vid I never would have known this info on the P-01 Dawson sights. Thank you
I have a P-07 and it's one of the greatest firearms ever produced.
Nice video Big J! I have a P-01 and a P-06 (which is essentially a .40 caliber P-01). I love the P-01 and it was a straight shooter right out of the box. The P-06 was hitting about 6 inches low at about 50 feet. Had to change the sights on it and still shoots consistently about an inch lower than it should. Both pistols group nicely, even though the P-06 is a little lower than I like. I put a set of TFX Pro sights on the P-06, which brought the point of impact up about 5 inches. Crazy.
Good Stuff Brother, TFW Carry On
Very informative and thorough. But THAT, that rear sight on P-01... is that...but even...c'mon it's like bolting a rear wing to a Civic!
😂 I agree but that’s what Cajun Gun Works offers for it! Thanks for Watching, Carry On
I prefer the cz 75 pcr compact alloy classic cz look. great vid thanks
TFW Carry On
Thanks. Great video. Just information without any unnecessary padding to make up time.
That’s the way I roll, TFW Carry On!
The cgw dawson precision night sights were the correct height for my cz 2075 rami, though I did have to take quite a bit off the rear sight to install it. It is a very nice tritium night sight. I did not know they would be dawson precision sights until I received them. It was my fifth set of night sights that I have installed on different guns and was the best kit of all of them since it came with installation tools and detailed instructions, kudos to dawson. I think the reason that I went to cgw was that trijicon or dawson did not list sights for the cz rami on their respective websites.
Haha I found you! We were just talking about these exact two about a week ago when you were in the store! Good stuff
Yes Sir, 😀 TFW Brother! Carry on
Well, one big point in favor of the P-07 is it's retailing for around $500, whereas a lot of retailers want damn near $800 for the P01.
I really like my P-07. Esp. after installing $35 worth of springs from CGW and a few hours time polishing the internals. Thanks for the comparison - I've been curious about the P01, but I think I'll stick with what I know and love.
I hear ya, TFW Carry On
i recently purchased the p07 , curious what springs did you choose, i was gonna order the short reset kit and hs 18 spring and maybe a new roller? any info be awesome thanks
For my P-01 Omega, I use Beretta 92 mag base plates for all my mags. Polymer over steel construction, perfect fit and function, doesn't grab my cover shirt like the rubber. And they only cost about $6 a piece.
Cool, TFW Carry On
You do great reviews. I'm considering getting the P01 even though that'll give me 3 and P07 is my favorite edc
Thanks Brother, I appreciate ya.
I have both of these and the P01 is my favorite shooter and go to. The girlfriend has claimed the P07 as her own. But lately the Sphinx SDP compact (all aluminum upper/lower frame) has become my all time favorite.
I love my Sphinx as well, I just put a trigger kit in mine & did a vid on it! TFW Carry On
Big Johnson Guns and Gear I saw the video, and it was great. I’d like to see some hard primer ammo testing (Freedom Munitions) and others as MWS said it could happen. Maybe another video testing that to help choose this upgrade for a carry gun?
Kyle G I have some IWI with super hard primers, I’ll test it with that on video & see! Carry on
Big Johnson Guns and Gear Thank you sir! Much appreciated. Keep up the great work and keep those videos coming!
Will do brother, Carry On
I haven't ever found a CZ that I didn't like!
Hmm very interesting. I ride a motorcycle alot, and hike/hunt in the winter so wearing gloves can really screw with you CCW wise. I think this sounds like my experience. I was looking for a P-01 but could not find one. I found an SP-01 tactical, liked it very much still wanted the P-01 when I bought a P-07 in the Suppressor ready package. I told myself when I bought it that it was a mistake and that I would still want a P-01. I was at my local shop a year later and they had two P-01 and a RAMI in stock... I had shot the SP-01 and P-07 enough to know that I basically fell in love with the P-07. I like the trigger, grip,light-weight and the way it seems to just hold flat when shooting....and the controls can be used with winter weight gloves. I figured the P-01 is just a smaller SP-01 so I bought the RAMI instead just for fun.
Cool, TFW Carry On
I like the looks of the P-07 better. Saw one at a gun shop. Got to handle it and liked it. The next week when I went back to the gun shop a guy in front of me purchased it. These days if you see what you have been looking for you better buy it.
Yep, Carry On
I have. Both with the Omega trigger and love them both. The P01 is the tactical versions and has the best night sites I have ever seen even though they are suppressor height they shoot point of aim. I have to say the P01 was made for my hand and my favorite pistol of all time.
Good deal, TFW #CZLIFE Indeed! Carry on
Siglite night sights are the best
The reason I got the P-07 was after shooting the P-01 I wanted one but a little lighter for carry. After shooting both the P-07 is just a little less "snap" after each shot - maybe the polymer frame?
Great comparison Big J!
Thanks Brother, I appreciate ya! Carry on
I wonder if the milder recoil is the polymer flexing and soaking some of it up while the metal frame just pushes it directly into your hand.
I was trying to give a newbie an opinion, neither really bother me.
Love my P 07. Thanks for the advice.
Thanks for Watching my Brother! Carry on
The P-07 was my first gun. Maybe it's the round count, but my stock trigger has been drooled over by guys at the range who "hate" DA/SA for that initial pull weight. I don't have but a bout a thousand rounds thru my P-01(also omega), so I really wouldn't judge. When I carry on a belt, it's the 7 for me.
Dang that rear sight looks jacked up! Great comparison
Thanks my Brother, Carry On
Cannot comment on the P01 but I can comment on the P07 Duty I own. Everything works well, except the slide is more difficult to rack then my Sig P226. Maybe it’s just me! Own a number of CZ firearms as they are well made and reasonably priced. P07 will not be sold and is used often. JMO
This is a great comparison video. Thanks for the insights. Lots of help in making a buying decision.
Your welcome & thanks for Watching!👊🏼 Carry On
Both have the same length barrel and weight is the same according to CZ specs. P-07 has a polymer frame and P-01 has alloy frame. Polymer frames flex a little and absorbs recoil impulse whereas the alloy frame is rigid and transmits recoil impulse. P-07 should shoot a little softer but some prefer the overall feel of an all metal pistol.
I carry the P01 omega and just got a P07 OD green last month. Haven't changed anything on the P01. P07 trigger was considerably stiffer out of the box so I installed a spring kit from M-CARBO . Now the trigger is lighter and smoother but I still am more accurate with the P01. I think the palm swell grips fill my hands better. Thanks for great videos. Your probably responsible for me looking at the P07 to start with.
Good Deal, Thanks For Watching! Carry on
Very well done. Information presented very well. Thanks
Thanks, I appreciate ya watching! Carry on
"Big Johnson comin' at ya!" Wow, I don't think I heard a word you said after that for a minute. lol
Something is funky here. If you're shooting low then making the front sight lower (or the back sight higher) will fix it. (If the front sight is lower then you have to point higher to make it line up.)
Understood, TFW Carry On
I machined a titanium guide rod for my P-01 & it runs just fine.
CGW for pro package and reach reduction (less curvature to the trigger), and TFX™ PRO TRITIUM sights transforms this pistol P01).
100% agree.
My Canik mags will also work in the CZ's but not vice versa!
I have two P-10C’s, one original with Chech markings and one KS tactical, P-10F and a Shadow 2. Both the tac 10C and 10F have HB Industry triggers. The Shadow 2 is in jail, as Hawai’i is a registration state and with Corona they are doing online appointments and are three months out. I have mine at the end of July and have been fawning over my pistol since early April.
I have the Cajun trigger kit and wanted to put it in during my time off but haven’t yet as my gun shop has been super busy. I am now going to put a Norso slide on my P-10C Tactical so I can get my RMR on it. Plus I have to block my +2 mags. Hopefully I can get that done today on my last day of time off
I set my P-07 up the same way: blacked out rear green fiber optic front. As someone else mentioned, I went with the lowest front I could find since I usually hit lower. Even though it's just a pistol I do not recommend anyone doing a whole lot of your own gunsmithing with the sights unless you're set up for it. I tried to change out my own sights and could only do so much with the peen hammer and presses that I have. I had to detach the new sight over a garage floor that still needs to be grouted (big exposed split in the middle) and I almost lost them in that crack!! Also lost the screw for the front, but the Smith I ultimately took it to hooked me up with some type of thread lock (it also had to be hammered on, so I wasn't too worried).
Heard great things about the P-01 but I love my P-09 so getting a P-07 that fits the same holster was a no brainer. Same holsters enem with a TLR1-HL
Awesome guns Big J ! Great informative video . Keep up the good work !
Thanks My Brother! Carry on
hard hitting firearm journalism from a source you can trust.

Thanks my Brother, I appreciate ya! Carry on
I prefer the P 07..... Love that Omega trigger system. Oh and for the record I had the same sights you got on the P01 on my CZ 75 B Omega... Mine shot high ... hated them and couldn't get them off fast enough. Replaced them with Truglo TFX. Great vid thx
TFW Brother, Carry On
I to have both the P-01 and the P-07.
Both are just awesome to shoot. I carry my 07 everywhere. However I don't agree with your comparison on "snap or muzzle rize" out of the 01. You sa8d yourself in the video you must raise your 01 already to compensate for the I'm correct front sight, so your 01 is already canted up before the shot is made, where your 07 is properly sighted and shoots level.
My experience is the the complete opposite. The recoil is fit right in the center of my palm and hardly any muzzle rise with the 01. I still get the same feel with my 07 in the palm but not as extreme. I have a tlr on my 07 urban grey tb and I still get a little more rise then the 01.
Just my 2 cents. Different strokes for different folks lol
That’s funny you just watched this vid, I just released an updated vid on these 2 Pistols today. TFW & sharing your opinion. Carry on
Haven't shot P-01 but I love my P-07! Great video buddy.
Thanks Brother, I prefer the P-07! YFW Carry On
I don't have the P-01 but I have the P-09 (21+1 supressor ready) and just got the P-07 (17+1 supressor ready). I fired about 300 rounds from the P-09 and love it. I have yet to fire the P-07 since I had to leave out on the road a day after I got it. I'm going to get to a range next time home (weather permitting) to put some rounds down range. I want a colt python 357 6.5" barrel military issue but that will come in due time
I own the P-09 want to put Dawsons on them . Carrying on !
Good deal, TFW always Carry On!
I own 2 P-01’s, an alloy frame one and a steel frame one, with the exception of the phantom I don’t like the cz polymer hammer fired guns
@@scottperson9487 Whoever you talked to is wrong,ask them about product code 99021 if I remember it correctly, as far as I know there’s only about 350 of them in the country and it is a steel frame with a rail and the slide is marked P01 and a manual safety
Let's see, I own a PCR PRO from CGW and 2 PO1s that I installed the PRO upgrades with the CGW 10X bushings. I have the Dawson F/O sightson my first P01 and I am working on installing my second set of sights on my second PO1.(F/Os) and patiently waiting on XS F8 sights...which could be a long wait.
Good Deal, TFW Carry On
Raising the front sight will make it shoot lower, smart guy.
Smartest Guy!
The sights on that po1 seems that it should shoot high?
Thata intersting that you feel the p01 is more snappy than the 07. Ive heard there opposite.
Yea my P01 SDP came w a steel guide rod haha. So idk where those people who say it damages the firearm get their stuff..
Who knows, TFW Carry On
Tough question! I have both, p01 and 07. Recently I have been carrying the 07. To me the p01 carries easier than the 07 yet both are neck and neck on accuracy and comfort to shoot, it to mention accuracy.
Good deal, TFW Carry On
OK, but tell me which one would you buy for Carry P07 or P01 if you could only have one ?
L F For me Both are great but P-07 is better IMO. Carry on
The P01 suits me best! I love the P07, but more trigger time with the former leaves me a little biased.
Good deal
Really good comparison thanks for all the good info.
Thanks Brother, TFW Carry On
Look into Night Fision sights. I returned my Dawson sights twice. Night Fision my go to on everything
Sold gun long ago
First I have ever heard of someone having a bad experience with CGW. Kinda disapointed to hear that. I order from them fairly regularly, never had a problem. Sorry to hear of your bad experience with them.
We all Live & learn, TFW Brother! Carry on
Good video and information to put out there .
My P-O1 doesn't have a NSN # either and when I spoke with CZ in K.C. they told me they are all NATO. Certified. 25 years of owning CZ's and a wonderful firearmhands down.
Thanks Brother, Carry On
I, like you, have both and I, like you, prefer the P07. I have other CZs and the P07 is my favorite of all of them.
Love spending the first minute of every gun video watching a guy clear his gun for the viewers on TH-cam...
TFW Carry On
Considering a p-01 or p-07 for my first hammer-fired gun.
Good review. Just what I needed. Thanks. Is the front sight on the 07 pinned for easy replacement like the other CZ’s?
@@NMranchhand Yes Sir
@@BigJohnsonGGThanks. And that pine table took stain nicely. Hard to do with pine. Looks good.
Thanks for the tip on what place to get your CZ sights from.
Yes Sir! TFW Carry On
CZ P07 is the Best🇿🇦💪
It’s a great gun
I have a PCR and a P-09. So, very similar to the P-01 and the bigger version of the P-07. But compact vs full size. I shoot the P-09 much better. First time I shot it, put 38 rounds right through a 2 inch hole in the center of the target at 10 yards. Never done that on the first time shooting a new gun. It is probably the gun I shoot the best.
I have 2 P-09’s as well & love them! I carry my P-09 all the time! Carry on
I shoot my p09 better than any other gun. The only gun that comes close in shootability is a Beretta 92.
Good deal, TFW Carry On
Haven't shot a P01 yet, now probably won't either since you say the P01 is a bit more flippy. Will probably go with another P07 with a threaded barrel plus decocker. ..and yessiree, the P07 is an amazing shooter with the Omega trigger, I shoot mine better than I can shoot a G45.. which is another really good shooter. Two favorites but I'd take a P07 over the G45 by a hair bc it does shoot so well. Thanks, you helped me decide what I was going to get as far as a P01 or a P07 tactical, the P07 tactical now. ..and I think its cheaper anyway.
The P-01 isn’t a bad shooter by any means. I was trying to just share my opinion of both in felt recoil. However I’m not recoil sensitive at all personally.
Thanks for Watching, Carry On
Cool review. Been looking into these 2. Was looking into the PO7 until I saw the PO1 then came the debate. Hoping my LGS has them so I can give the a try. Thanks.
jlcruz2402 Thanks For Watching, Carry On
