Just as an update, I sent my P-01 back to CZ to address the issue mentioned above. They had it for 6 weeks, replaced the slide stop just as I had and sent it back with only one of the two magazines I sent. I called them and luckily they were able to find it and shipped it back to me, arriving a few days later. The issue is still present and has not been resolved. I guess it’s just something I’ll have to live with. The major annoyance with it is it prevents the magazines from falling out and they have to be stripped out by hand. Otherwise I love the pistol. I love the way it feels, shoots and looks.
Again, thanks for all of the input from everyone.

Something is a tad fishy here. I think it strange that they would send the gun back with such an obvious problem. Are we getting the whole story here? Have you contacted them again to address this?
I haven’t withheld or manufactured any misleading information regarding the issue, there would be no benefit in doing so.
The only information provided on the return document was that the slide stop was replaced and it function fired good. I called after getting it back in the hopes of getting more information but didn’t get a return call, which I don’t hold against them because I’m not under the illusion that I’m their only customer. I am not bashing CZ, if I was it would be quite a bit more obvious, plus I don’t work like that.
I’m not typically a forum poster but I was hoping that I would find that someone had seen this issue and would say that CZ had a run of short slide stops or something and it be an easy fix.
With the contact I’m getting it almost always fails when inserting an empty magazine and pulling the slide back, something commonly done while performing a function check, because locking the slide back whether firing or not is a function of the firearm. It does however manage to lock the slide open a majority of the time when firing. With this said, it is only barely doing so by the edge of the follower, which is going to wear quickly due to the small contact surface area and it being metal against polymer. I foresee it failing more once it sees more use.
My initial post was prior to having fired it yet, so I was going off how it functioned manually. I was surprised to find that it did lock the slide back while firing but it’s still an issue nonetheless and concerning because of the lack of contact and the potential of being a regular issue down the road.
Here is a photo of the followers themselves which shows the tiny contact mark when it does make contact.
To answer the second question, I have only tried the two magazines that were included with the pistol but I’m looking at getting more. I’m sitting at 3 different slide stops through the pistol so far with no change. Was there ever a longer slide stop?
Thank you
