CZ P-01 Omega Convertible ( Suppressor ready ) Initial Range Report

[SpazC]

This might be a little boring as the gun ran flawlessly while I broke her in with 150 rounds. Here are some of the first observations I had:

- The gun (unsurprisingly) shot very similarly to my SP01, just with a bit more felt recoil and heavier stock springs still installed.

- The suppressor height sights were less awkward to adjust to than I had imagined during dry fire. It was actually a lot easier to catch the front sight post if you didn't draw into good sight alignment due to its height.

- I LOVE the new trigger. If replacements/spares ever hit the states my SP01 WILL get one.

-  POA was slightly below POI with my 147 gr match loads. POA was roughly at POI with 124gr Federal HST's

- The two factory mags dropped free without issue, my 6 Mecgar mags that I run in my SP01 would not drop free with the rubber grips on. I found some of the wear points and plan on taking a razor blade to them.

- Shot it with both the decocker and safety installed. The difference in trigger pull between the two was negligible with the Omega feeling slightly mushy.

- With the threaded extended barrel, the front of the gun was a lot cleaner than my SP01 at the end of the range session. The gun is just as long as the SP01 with the barrel as well, which for me kind of defeated the purpose of the size of the gun.



I bought it because the regular black Omega P-01 isnt available yet. With that I'll probably be taking off the suppressor height sights and possibly doing something sacrilegious and having the barrel cut down and recrowned back to P-01 length.

Man, I love that thing. If I'm not one of the lucky ones to get a black P-01 Omega then I will be going the same route as you. Don't need a threaded barrel or suppressor sights.

Keep us updated! Thanks for the review

The sights look odd?  Yeah.  So what.  Compared to an AR15, or some of the newer bullpup rifles the sights are no where near as far off the bore.  People shoot AR15/bull pups all the time with those big old high sights and do okay with them.

I figure we can do the same with high pistol sights.  Just shoot it, figure out where it hits at different ranges and compensate with your sight alignment on the target, just like we do with an iron sighted AR15.

The high sights will make finding the right holster a little (a lot??) more difficult.

Def wouldn't be buying new sights, I have a set of tritiums glowing away in a drawer that came off my SP01 when I swapped for fiber optics.

I don't think the sights will be difficult to fit on a lot of kydex holsters (they fit my comp tac) but they def don't fit my leather holster.

Do you think the sights had anything to do with the POI? Obviously they're a little higher. I'm just curious where the POI and POA are with "regular" sights.

Nope just the difference in bullet weight + velocity. The 124 HST's are flying MUCH faster than my 132 power factor 147gr handloads. Typically faster lighter 9mm bullets will shoot lower than their slower heavier counterparts at normal handgun distances. The sights seem to be dead on for 124 gr loads, which again is pretty typical for handgun irons from factory.
