I turned my nearly new EMP into a P-01
« on: June 03, 2024, 09:41:46 AM »
Friday after work, I was checking out my better stocked LGS and they had obtained a p-01 in trade. I believe it is a 2023 model.
In any event, I have kind of committed myself to trying not to grow my gun collection and when possible, reduce.
So traded my nearly new EMP Ronin for the P-01. I have been looking at the Cz 75 compact and the P-01 for a while.
Once I got the P-01 home it became clear to me this gun was probably never shot as it was loaded with oil and could not find any wear marks on the ramp, slide, etc.
Cleaned it up and took it to the range the next morning and it shot my reloads and factory ball ammo without a glitch. I shot it OK, not great, but OK.
I usually leave my guns stock for most part, but actually considering which I want more for this gun, better sights or an improved trigger. It's fine in SA mode, but not loving the DA function.
I don't think the P-01 will replace my PPS M2 as my default carry piece, so not too worried about its carry possibilities.
It did come with 2 10 round factory mags and 1 15 round aftermarket mag.
It joins an older 75B and a 40 S&W SP-01 tactical in the safe. Previous CZ include two 2075s and and a P-07 (kind of miss it).

CZ - 75B, SP01 tactical, P-01;
Walther PPS, /PPK/s;
1911 - Taurus 9mm, RIA Government, Mil spec;
Assorted other revolvers, automatics

Send it to Cajun Gun Works.  You'll not regret it.

Before going the "Customizing" route, put about 1000 rounds through it or so and see if it wears in.

For all of those killed by a 9mm: "Get up! You are not dead! You were shot with a useless cartridge!"

I found mine like that.  I went looking and found a P01 Omega that was tagged used.  It had no wear at all on it.  In just a few rounds it showed wear on the frame from the slide.  I knew it had not been shot.  I have probably a couple thousand rounds through it.  The only thing I did to it was put the 13# spring in it.  I really like it and shoot it good.

I can attest to the fact that CZ triggers can wear in perfectly. I was accused of having a trigger job done on my P-01 for years, because thousands of rounds made her glass smooth. Enjoy!
