P01 On the Way

[KennyE]

Finally!! Had my LGS order a P01 yesterday. She's not a CZ dealer, so it may take a few days. But I can't wait. I'm a big boy. 

I'd waffled back and forth between the P01 and the PCR. Originally wanted the PCR. But when it came time to "pull the trigger", so to speak, for some reason I said P01. I knew I'd want a spring kit for it, regardless of which compact variant I ended up with. That's on its way. It's all the other stuff I've read about here. (really need to read less!!!  ) Sights, different triggers, grips, etc. Since I  have a limited budget for the pistola, got to do some hard figuring on what I need vs want. Thing is, I rarely modify my handguns. Especially if carrying. But for some reason I see myself making a few changes to the base P01.

Grips, I've always liked the rubber grips. But I've seen the Lok Grips and they keep calling me! But still, a "want".
Sights, probably a "need", but should try the stock first.
Ben Stoeger has a slim profile slide catch/release. Def a "want". Wondering what good that would be if the decocker lever isn't low profile as well. Haven't seen one of those in the wild.
IWB is a "need". Already ordered a new shell for my Alien Gear.
Ammo - def a "need". Need lots and lots with a new gun.

Thoughts? More for me to read? ....

Congratulations !
You've read enough already 
I like your list of "wants" and "needs". I think you will change status for sights to "need" - the factory sights are horrible (of course this is personal preference... but you will see)

Can you post a link to "Ben Stoeger slim profile slide catch/release"? I couldn't find one for P-01. Thx.

My P-01 only has different sites. The rest is great out of the box.

Congratulations on your new pistol. For me, I installed the spring kit, blackened the rear sight with a Sharpie, and replaced the front sight with a fiber optic Dawson. It has become my favorite handgun, even though I have spent more time and money on others.

Enjoy,
Richard

Kinda making a leap here. Figure for the $35 + shipping it wouldn't be too bad if it didn't fit. This is a slim profile catch for the Shadow 2. If you look below the release it shows the standard size for the P01/Shadow2. Logic says the slim for the Shadow 2 should then fit the P01. ... uh, right?

Just finished the fluff n buff and CGW parts on the P-01 I picked up last week off the for sale section here.  Great feel a perfect size in hand.

Encouraging! What parts did you install?

[DJK11]

Pistol I purchased has the srs-1, tru dot sights and aluminum grips installed. I did the complete tear down and installed the rrk-2, floating trigger pin and the reduced power springs.  Changed the three decocker cage springs, and polished ALL metal-to-metal contact points including the hammer, sear and decocker parts.  I removed two coils from the #13 hammer spring.  Super smooth action now.

Lots of fun re assembling the decocker cage the first time, second time much faster after growing the third hand.

Srs-1? I think I can do all of the mods I'm wanting, myself. Except ^^^^ that! I have no interest in tackling the sear cage with a decocker. Kudos to you for jumping in and doing it yourself. So, what do you do with the third hand when you're not fixing pistols? .......... 

[DJK11]

The third hand is a hinderance at times, shirts, gloves, jackets stuff like that.

First experience with a de cocker CZ pistol.  Not enamored with the de cocker prefer a safety.  Apex Tactical has a very good video on the de cocker and a slave pin is a must have.
