PCR PRO-TEK 1

[mtnmasher]

Anyone here have a PCR PRO-TEK 1?

I'm wondering how extensive the hand fitting is, and what the performance is compared to a standard PCR.  Slide to frame fit, trigger pull, etc.

Is it worth the price?  Is it the ultimate 9mm carry?

I've been drooling over one for a while now.  A friend held one at shot show and is really impressed with them.  And he is hard to impress.  Hopefully someone that owns both will comment.

I haven't owned both, just my PCR, but to put things in perspective, CZs top shooter Angus Hobdell carries a ProTek 1 as his personal CCW pistol. I would love to have one, but the scratch necessary is a bit out of my league.

Hi  I recently purchased the Pcr-Protek from Rob at the custom shop, believe me if you buy one you won't regret it . Fit,finish and preformance are excellent. I bought this  pistol after buying both the p07 duty and the sp01 phantom. Personally I always swore that I would never own a polymer framed hand gun and now I have 4. But getiing back to the PCR PRO-TEK it has the best trigger out of all my CZ pistols . I also love the novak sights. It is now my preferred carry pistol.

I checked one out when I was at the shop 6/7 months ago. It was like holding my PCR, but nicer. Biggest difference was the trigger, very nice, and the thinner grips, like my wood grips better.

Brian,
Does you Pcr Proteck have front slide serrations?  The pictures on the CZCustom website show both with and without.

[Brian Ahearn]

Yes my Pro-tek has front and rear serations on the slide. Just spent yesterday at the range again and was able to consistently hit a 5 inch steel  gong at 25 yards shooting from a standing posistion. This pistol has the best trigger out my collection of CZ's and 1911 pistols. I have no regrets about spending that much money on a 9mm pistol. this pistol hits where you point and in a life threating situation it would be the pistol that I would want to be carrying.

I bought a pro-tek 1 a few weeks ago. I already have a P01, which was my favorite gun to shoot with regards to accuracy. The Pro-Tek 1 is awesome. The work quality is tremendous, the trigger pull is significantly smoother than any CZ gun I have shot. I also took the gun to different gun shops I have been to. I found the people who either had negative feelings or were ambivalent about CZ's. The one Die Hard Glock Guy kept asking me "is this really a CZ?" after I told him it was one. He dry fired it and continued to remark how awesome the trigger was. I let a die hard Beretta Guy who is an excellent shot shoot the Pro-Tek 1 and he asked me if I would consider selling it to him. He remarked how snag-free and balanced it felt...I wish I had a hidden camera....it was almost like a commercial with a relatively unknown product-compared to most guns, and having people with preconceived notions truly enjoy handling the gun...I agree with the sticker shock....I contemplated buying it the last year...I recognized though I have purchased a handful of guns that I like.....but you can only shoot one gun at a time.....and paying for a quality gun...pcr p01 to me are awesome guns in their own right, with the custom work, it is worth it....Generation 4 Glocks are now going at about 600 a pop...this is like buying two of them....with a little extra....for an awesome, unique, super-accurate gun that you can carry-shoot at the range, use for home defense, and kind of show off a bit lol. I would recommend getting one....I would look at what guns you have in stock now and ask self if you would give up two to get a pro-tek-1 I sold a Beretta 92FS and a Glock 19 to help finance the Pro-Tek-1...and if I "needed" a glock 19....I am sure I could get a used on for 400 or less within less than 24 hours...where pro-tek-1 is custom, unique and a great purchase.

If I could be sure of getting Dept approval I would sell more than one thing to finance a ProTek One for authorized Off Duty, but until I can get CZ on the manufacturers list, I have the only authorized CZ around.

Don't mean to hi- jack. Does the Pro Tek still have
the loaded chamber indicator?

[armoredman]

No hi-jack, legitimate question. From the pics I have seen, I'd say yes, and nothing on the website says no. I didn't call them to ask, but you could, if you have the scratch to get one. Still trying those $1 applications to be a millionaire, then I will carry two of them.

[JCCZ75]

Have the scratch, but is an itch and just can't reach!

[Onegoodshot]

Pro-Tek 1 are amazing! Angus and Eric deserve some kind of award for that one! No, they lose the loaded chamber indicator. The top of slide is milled to facillitate the night sights, and blend with the champhered sides of slide. They are very slim to hold or carry. A super value in a completely hand built custom pistol. I have dry fired Angus's Pro Tek, and I believe the trigger job they did for me, on SP-01, PO-1, and PCR, is equal to work they do for themselves. I can't say enough good stuff about Ghost Products.  Yes, Pro Tek is top of the list!

I can't recommend the Pro-Tek 1 enough. I've owned mine for about six months now and use it as my daily carry gun. Performance has been stellar. For concealed carry I find that the 14 round magazines imprint less under clothing and I use the Beretta baseplates. The grip tape that came with the gun is great for shooting but no good for concealed carry. I replaced it with a rubbery/textured grip tape I got at the hardware store. Here are some photos of the gun and Hazel leather.

That's a setup that can't be beaten...if I win the lottery, I will have the same thing, awesome!
