Nutnfancy Video Review on the .40 cal P-07 Duty

[Twmaster]

Love him or hate him Mr. Nutnfancy has posted a review of the P-07 Duty in .40 S&W.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQvitmcpGLQ (26 minutes long)

Overall good comments and more than a few gripes. Some of them deserved.

I noticed a couple FTF were aluminum cased ammo.

Why the hate on him? I never seen anything to hate him over... but I haven't watched every video.

[Twmaster]

I don't hate on him. I know many folks do. Which I don't quite understand.

While he's long-winded I like his review style and love seeing the products in action.

[marine6680]

Maybe its because they classify him as a suburban/mall commando.

[Twmaster]

That's sad. I don't see too many other folks spending the time and money to do in depth reviews. Most of what I see on poo-tube is some dude with a handy-cam says crap like: "Here's my wizz-bang 40. I really like it"

[777TRUTH]

I like Nutnfancy. Can he be long winded? I think so. But I also think he gives an honest review.

For the P-07, I never held one but the failures to go into battery are a concern.

[marine6680]

Some of that may have been ammo related... it was also the 40 version, which might play a part into it.

[Twmaster]

My 9MM P-07 has never failed to go into battery.

I know from comments in other Nutnfancy videos he buys cheap ammo as he says he pays for it out of his pocket.

I am a long time subscriber to NutnFancy.  I watch most of his gun videos.  He presents his honest data and does it all on his own dime.  Yes, that means running cheaper ammo.  He shoots alot of Blazer aluminum cased, PMC, and WWB.

That being said, I've never seen anyone have as many problems with CZ's as he does.  He has a Phantom that he can't say enough about.  He has a 75 Commemorative that he has issues with, but apparently he got it used and someone else did spring work on it.  Then this video.  All in all, it doesn't paint a very good picture for CZ's, which I have personally had fantastic history with.

[Twmaster]

He absolutely crows about his CZ-75B.

I don't have a P07, but I was interested in purchasing one until I watched this video. I am hoping that some of the more experienced people on this forum with a P07 could reassure me that the P07 is a reliable pistol so that I can continue my search for one.

[Twmaster]

Jarv, read this forum. Ask questions. Loads of people have this gun. Yes, there are or were issues. My 9MM has been flawless.

[marine6680]

From What I hear... the older ones had some issues with the frame being too soft and a spring causing a bulge.

New ones have fixed this problem by using stiffer polymer, but some of the older ones are still lurking unsold. If you get one, CZ will usually replace it for a newer one.

Most on this forum have high opinions of the P-07.

The 9mm may be more likely to be 100% reliable than the .40, but that is speculation. There are a few instances of lemon P-07s out there, but CZ repaired/replaced the pistol and the person was satisfied. Any gun model will have a small percentage of defects in a production lot... its when a model has a very high rate of lemons that you should be wary. I have not seen that with the P-07 from my research.

The biggest major defects I have seen have been a few cases of a broken spring that caused the pistol to stop functioning.

The rest have been FTF that are either ammo related, or pretty easy to fix with a good polishing of the breech face, extractor, and feed ramp. (maybe an hour's work using a dremel polishing wheel) Or let CZUSA do the work under warranty.

All the problem guns have shown up in the first few hundred rounds. (500 or so) So if you get one, start putting rounds through it and see how it does. If you can get through 500 rounds with no problems then you are probably good to go.

I have two CZ 75Bs but not a P-07... I have had one FTF in my .40 and a quick polishing sorted that out. The 9mm has been flawless so far.

Marine6680,

     I am going to be a first-time buyer soon and the P-07 Duty appeals to me. I also like the P-06 Compact (the .40 cal version of the P-01). You state that cz will usually replace an older one that has flaws with a newer one. How can anybody, who doesn't know by serial and lot number, when the improvements actually begin?

     I guess that question should be directed to the company.

Pdx,

I am not sure on the .40 but with the 9mm the later "A" S#'s are fine as far as the frame bulge and mag problems are concerned. I want to say that anything after A7xx is fine but I'm not sure. Just to be safe do what I did, hunt for a "B" S#. No frame bulge and magazines fly out. Keep in mind this is in regards to the 9mm.
