Just ordered - CZ P01 in Urban Gray

[M1A4ME]

I had a CZ (bought it from CZ USA) for the P07 DUTY.  It's one of those drop leg holsters.  Kydex with a spare mag pouch in front of the holster.

Once the RMR was installed on the P07 DUTY (with the taller front/rear sights) that pistol won't fit the holster anymore.

I got it out today and started fiddling with it and the new P01.  The P01 has tall sights on it but it slid right in, to a point.  The rail was hitting the portion of the holster right in front of the trigger guard locks.  I got out the old saw (one of those new fangled jobs that oscillates the blade back and forth but doesn't spin it) and made two cuts down the bottom of the holster to right in front of the trigger guard portion.  I cut across (between the saw cuts) with a razor knife.

At that point the P01 would slide on it, but not quite lock up (this holster uses two latches that grab the inside of the front of the trigger guard on the pistol).  I cut out a short notch in the top/front of the holster to clear the tall rear sight and it slid right in and locked up.

Carried it that way while walking the dogs, mowing the yard and the back lot, no issues.

Oh, mag pouch - a 14 round CZ 75 compact magazine fits just fine (little loose really).  The 16 round CZ 75 magazine fits okay, just a little tight.  The 18 round magazines with the extension on the bottom won't fit at all.

I'm happy, for now, the old holster is once again useful and I can carry the new P01 around while doing yard work, walking the dogs, etc.

picked up my urban grey P09 the other day and shot it at the range today.  Amazing gun.  Made the mistake of looking at the gun counter on the way out and they had a 75 P01 Urban Grey and had to put it on lay away..... these things are contagious.  Amazing guns.

Bought a Streamlight TL3 and put it on the rail.  Had to change the piece that fits into the notch on the rail.  The one in the light set the light way too far forward.  Changed it out for one of the other ones (don't remember the letter designation) and if moved the light back so the rocker switch tabs were in about the same place as the TL1 on my P09.

Then, of course, I had to take the light back off to put the P01 in the drop leg holster and go out to work on a couple trimmer (got one of two fixed, the second one is a design issue that new parts only fixed for 4 rope pulls before it broke again).  Then I took the working trimmer, got the high speed adjustment set so it wouldn't bog out when the throttle was pressed and did some trimming.  You get grass fragments all over everything in the area of that spinning head.

Oh well.  I'd rather be able to set the guns up the way I want vs. getting the weed eaters fixed.  The guns are more important and last a hell of a lot longer.

Got a new phone, pictures of the P01 with the light on it.

Mine came in today too. 

I thought that $579 was a reasonable price.
The only one in the store.

I even got to shoot it suppressed or the first time.
The LGS has a shooting range and they rent suppressors.
It was cool once, but I am not sure that I would spend the money to buy my own.

Also, the LGS ad said that it came with 14 round magazines.
Mine came with two 16 rounders.

Shot it again yesterday with 115 and 147 grain hollow points and 147 grain lead bullets (the ones that don't tumble.)

100% reliable again.  It's what I've come to expect from my CZs.

My youngest son said it felt good in his hand, but the trigger was too light.  He said he could not feel the last little stop where it's lifted the firing pin block, but not released the hammer.  He came feel it on his P07 and my P09, but not on the P01.  I can feel it, he needs more practice.

Edited to change 158 grain hollow points to 147 grain.  Must have had .357 magnums on my mind.

I am liking the looks of this gun. I will need to put one in my hands to see how well it feels. Would make a nice HD gun with light and suppressor.

These have a soft rubber grip on them vs. the compact we have with a hard plastic grip.  The grip panels looks the same, but the soft rubber one "grabs" your hand so much better.  I thinking about ordering a pair for the CZ 75 Compact so I can remove the skate board tape that helps us keep a grip on that slick satin nickel frame.

I've not said this till now, but the more I handle it, the more I like the feel in my hand and I'm beginning to think I like it better than the P07.

Might have been the wrong thing to put one in my hand. Left the LGS with the only one they had.

Will be going to the range today to shoot. I just purchased a P-07 less than a month ago and I like it. This P-01 feels better in the hand than the 07 does. The trigger on this 01 is better than the 07, not that the 07 is bad. If i would have bought this first I don't think I would have purchased the 07. I would have 2 P-01s.
