The P-01 is a rare item to find, at least here in the East Valley of Phoenix, especially with the massive uptick in firearm sales ongoing for quite some time.
Finally gave up waiting and ordered a P-01, from Os*ge County Guns. My Mesa, AZ, FFL received it just two days ago and I took possession of it the same day after the 4473 transfer paperwork was completed. Been shooting striker-fired pistols so long I wanted a change... a "return" to a reliable, hammer-fired, pistol.
Very impressed with the fit and finish of this pistol, it's design, and ergonomics. Digital scale revealed a DA trigger pull of 9.06# (average of 10 pulls) and a SA trigger pull of 3.44# (again, average of 10 pulls). Quite a bit of gritty stacking though.
I had already ordered three additional 15 round magazines from a major retailer - who shipped 16 round magazines by mistake, which I decided to keep anyway, leaving a magazine-pistol frame gap.
CZ Cu*t*m is about a 15 minute drive from my home, so I drove over and picked up three SP-01 magazine base plates. First time ever visiting this shop. It has a very small client reception/showcase area when compared to a local gun shop, and a larger stockroom and work area. Had the opportunity to meet Stuart and Angus, both very friendly and outgoing types. Talked with Stuart about a trigger job to smooth out my new P-01. He allowed me to dry fire a P-01 that had the CZ Cu*t*m trigger job. The difference was really remarkable... even stunning.
I haven't yet had the time to fire my new P-01. I'll run 500-750 rounds of various ammo types though it this weekend to check for function/reliability issues, accuracy, ammunition preferences (if any), that sort of thing. I expect my P-01 will handle whatever I feed it. If it suddenly experiences failures after CZ Cu*t*m work, then I know it's changes were responsible. I suspect this to be very unlikely though.
I doubt my new P-01 will supplant my EDC P365 for summer time carry in the 105-115+ degree heat here in the Phoenix area. After 2,650 rounds fired through it, with a fairly smooth 3.5# pull, it has never had any failure of any type, including firing dirty, 40 year old, Egyptian army 9mm surplus ammo fed as a "torture test".
But, as I said, I was due for a change... a larger firearm, but not full-size, than the P365... and a return to a de-cocker, hammer fired, pistol.
Long-time lurker... gained a lot of info here, but blew through the Terms of Service agreement, and so that's why you saw "*" edits, in case I was violating the "rules".
