Suppressor Host?
« on: September 28, 2018, 08:44:47 AM »
I have been a long time lurker here on the forums and have always been impressed with the helpfuness and knowledge posted here.

That said I am in the market for a suppressor host and can't decide between:

P-01 Omega
P-07
P-09
P-10

I have shot the SP-01 Tactical with a suppressor it is a bit heavy with a suppressor.

Can one of the other guns equal it's performance in a lighter package?

Thanks.

Well I can?t compare to any other CZs as far as suppressor hosts go as my P-07 is the only CZ I?ve shot suppressed. However, that said I?ve been very pleased with it. It compares very well to my SIG 226 which is a very good suppressor host. So, sample size of one, take it for what it is. I?m sure others will chime in shortly.
Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.

There are many variables which will help you decide which would be the best suppressor host for you.

My first thought is what size suppressor are we talking?  Is it light weight or heavy for its size?  Seems the weight might be an issue for you based on your SP01 comment.  Any suppressor will add weight out front of the pistol.  The more you shoot it suppressed you'll adjust to it.
 
Are you looking for the most compact package or is overall length of the pistol with mounted suppressor not important?   

All you really need is a threaded barrel and a suppressor of sufficient caliber to run suppressed.  But, is that good enough for you?   Personally, I hope not.  I mean, you are on the CZ forum not a Hi-Point forum so you must have some standards and taste ;)

I know, lots of questions but I don't expect you to post answers.  Rather, consider these and it will help you choose the right pistol for you.

In my case, I choose a P-09 to host an Octane 45.  A full size pistol for a full size suppressor.  Balance is great and I'm happy.  Also, for the heck of it, I run a threaded 19 barrel in a Glock 26 with the same suppressor which is fun.  Small pistol with large suppressor, hardly practical but fun and folks at the range eat it up.

Another comment, not that you asked, but I don't have any use for 'suppressor height' sights.  My pistols have standard height sites.  It helps that I shoot both eyes open and even though the front sight is just below the rim of the suppressor there is no problem sighting on a target. Accuracy does not suffer in the slightest, I can clear a plate rack in similar time or maintain similar size groups on paper whether suppressed or not.

Long post, but in summary, any of the pistols on your list will work very well in this role.  But, they are different types of pistol, ie hammer fired, striker fired, etc so consider the above and then choose the pistol which pushes all of your buttons.  Or, make it easy on yourself and get one of each  O0

I am slowly consolidating my pistols down to CZs and 1911s and a couple of revolvers.
The suppressor sizes  varies because my friends and I have different taste.

I have been thinking about calling CZC or CGW and seeing what they could work up.

Glocks even though I have one as a host they don't have any soul to me, like a red solo cup.

My friends get a hold of my CZs and they go "bleep...Thats NICE!"

I like the balance of a steel pistol with a suppressor.

I have a Glock 19 Gen 3 that I put a Brass Seattle Slug into the handle to counterbalance the can.

I have a Mars Armament THUG 1911 that balances the can, too.



I have handled and shot Omegas but I just prefer steel. 

Even with my integral suppressed Ruger Mark IV Target, I wanted SS over a lightweight.
