New member feedback on P07 size for big guy
« on: June 08, 2024, 01:52:32 AM »
Hey, I’m new to Cz forum. Looking at purchasing an auto 9 mm. Like the features hammer fired, manual safety/ or decocker, DASA omega trigger, low bore axis etc.  of the P07 that I’ve read about and watched reviews of on YouTube. I’m a big  guy at 6’7” with large hand. Have  not had a p 07 in my hands yet. Of course Wondering if it is going to be too short on the grip. I’m in NJ so limited to 10 rds. Have not seen any pinky extensions that don’t also increase mag capacity would love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Thanks in advance   Have not looked at site at all so if this has already covered please point me accordingly

As far as concealment goes, I'm only 6'3" tall (or used to be when I was younger).  These days at the doctor's office they sometimes check weight but no one measures height.  I've carried mine concealed (IWB, right side) for close to 12 years now.  I've carried it in the same holster in the same place year round.  T-shirt tucked into my pants, button up short sleeve shirt over top of the T-shirt to hide the pistol during the hot summer months.  Sweat?  Yeah, I sweat anyway, button up shirt or just T-shirt, makes no difference for me.

A good, tough strong/stiff belt is a good idea.  I got a big thick leather belt at a gun show about 10 years ago that has kept it's shape in spite of the years, the sweat, the weight of the gun/magazine pouch (spare mag is a P09 .40 magazine with a +2 base IWB on the left side.)  The standard 12 round (15 round ?) in the 9MM is better for concealment the way I carry.  I don't care if the spare sticks out the bottom of the pistol frame if it gets to the point I've run through my 12+1 carried in the gun.

Can't say how big/small my hands/fingers are but I can say my little finger is on the bottom of the P07 mag but very close to the bottom edge.  I do notice it sometimes when gripping the pistol, but not when shooting it.  Mine kicks a good big more than some as it's a .40, not a 9MM. 

You can get 10 round magazines for the P07 and P09.

One idea, if your stuck on the P07, might be to get a P09 magazine with one of the length adaptor sleeves that are being sold to fill the gap between the base of the longer magazine and the bottom of the P07 mag. well.  Then again, that makes it harder to conceal for most people (pistol is taller from top of the slide to the bottom of the magazine) but that might not be much of an issue for a person taller/larger than the average.

Good luck with your choice/carry.

I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

I'm a very "average" guy. 5'10" medium hands. The 75 and P-07 fit me fine. My son in law has big hands and thinks the 07 fits him much better. That said, if you find the grip too short you can add a plus 2 extention. It won't add anything to your 10 round magazine so is legal. Shipping it to you is another matter. Know your laws!

I let my son in law shoot my p07 and he is a big guy with big hands. He shot it well and owns one now. I don’t think it’s too small. Have you held one?  If not, find one at a gun store and see what you think. I’m not as big as him and find it fits me perfectly. I wear xl gloves.

I have big hands; the P-07 fills my hand with a little left over.  Nothing hangs below the grip using standard mags.  The P-07 feels REALLY GOOD in my hands, that's why I have multiple in the P-07/ P-09 family.
