For this years tax return gun i decided to pick something out of my box. i am mainly a M&P guy but have always loved the looks of the CZs. picked up a new P-07 2014 model from a FFL buddy. paid $503 out the door. i could have saved a few more bucks but figured i help my buddy and local business out.
i knew i wanted to carry it sometime for SD so i also ordered a new Crimson Trace CMR-205 light laser combo. i have several models of streamlight but i really like the thin profile and looks of this combo. price was right too at $175 from ebay.
picked it up yesterday. this morning i swapped from decocker to safety mode since i will carry cocked and locked. i have no other DA pistols so i prefer the SA mode. Small backstrap felt good to me so left it on. broke it down, cleaned it, and froglubed it. i also when ahead and beveled the edge of the safety lever a bit so my thumb could clear it better and grab the far side of the safety to get the leverage.
I plan on picking up a few more mags, one with extended basepad. and will be stippling the grip. swapping to a plain back rear sight and red fiber front. might undercut the bottom of the trigger guard a bit as well.
Course i will have to make a holster for it too. i build custom kydex holsters and im thinking IWB canted worn around 4 o'clock. will use Kryptek Highlander print just like i used for my Shield holster.
RANGE REPORT
I am blessed to have a range in the back yard. dueling tree, movers, rolling targets, paper targets, steel hanging from 0 to 150 yards. First 10-12 rounds out of the gun were factory brass at 7 yards. all shooting was SA. not a bad group:
I also ran a mag of tula steel cased thru the gun. mostly i ran my 125Gr reloads with Falcon Falcoat bullets. i had exactly one stovepipe using my reloads. i chalked it up to a it being a new gun. no other issues.
Also practiced defensive style shooting. simulated holster draw, safety disengage, double or triple taps to mid mass, or Mozambique. might have have a few 4-5 shot dumps to mid mass or head in there too.

Also had to take a glamor shots!
Here is an example of my holster work. i will be offering my services to members if you want a custom holster.
