CZ Carry Weapon of Choice
« on: March 25, 2014, 04:10:27 PM »
Just for fun, I would like to know reasons and thoughts on why you went with or would go with one of the compact CZ models.

I realize some folks can carry a full size handgun, but I'm more interested in the differences in choosing a particular compact.

I personally went with the P-01, but not before changing my mind several times.  I left out some of the different variants for simplicity sake.

I had my P-01 and a RAMI. Sold the RAMI and kept the P-01. Not a lot of difference in size and the P-01 felt so much nicer in my hand.

Made pretty good $ on the RAMI also.

PCR = because I'm not fond of the 40 cal or CCW'd a flashlight and I like the low profile sights, LCI and a Decocker for carry.

P-01. Lightweight, and just as easy to shoot as my full size CZ's.

Clearly, we aficionados of the vz.50 and vz.70 are being discriminated against by those who wish to flaunt their larger calibers.   ;D

I've CC'd the P-01 in the past. I'd like to revisit it again in the future, but when I do I will have a new holster that accommodates it better in regards to the custom hammer that I installed on it. Sometimes it would dig uncomfortably into my side. Never tried the stock hammer, but I suspect it was the holster that was lacking. But right now I've selected a caliber currently unavailable on CZ's.

I carry a compact pretty much all year around.  There are occasions when I will carry a full size 75B in the winter or a RAMI in the summer.  But my go to gun is the compact.  I care a lot less about comfort of carry and a lot more about how quickly and accurately I can employ the weapon.

Hurryin Hoosier,

I happen to like the .32 calibers.   I guess you deserve to vote for it.

I also added Dan Wesson compacts.

I voted for the P01. I currently carry a P07, eventually i would like to have my P07 as a carry only and have a CGW 85 combat for the range.

For compacts, I vote P-01, because I have one.
Rcade, get with High Noon Holsters and try this one out, the Double Jeopardy,







Another option that might shield the hammer is the High Noon Slide Guard, a favorite of mine. Shown here with a Kimber and a Glock version, and no, I don't own a Glock - that's for work. :)





The P-01 and PCR both carry well, and I have used both for CCW, (look at THIS oddball setup I used for my PCR as a BUG, and yes, it worked great, and no, the company that made it is out of business),



...and I wouldn't feel at ALL underarmed carrying either again, but this is my carry choice right now, on me as I type this. ;)





High Noon Down Under holster with straps, and High Noon Rock Steady gun belt.



But...it's NOT a campact by ANY stretch of the word...unless compared to a Desert Eagle... ;D

I went with the CZ75 Compact because that was the only CZ for sale at my LGS.;)

My CZ75 Compact rides in UBG Striker IWB gunhide. Its comfortable and has good retention. The mouth of the holster is stiff enough that re-holstering the gun is no problem.

I typically carry a fullsize CZ75 mag for reloads, a Fenix LD10 light and a Kershaw 1760DAM blade. Ammo is HSTs or Gold Dots of the 147 gr variety.

Very nice Gentlemen. I voted for the Rami, but I also carry the 75 compact. I also prefer to carry OWB with a button up shirt. I also use full size mag for reload.

I personally carry a 75 compact. I find it just the right size for me. I would love to try a pcr because of the alloy frame but I dont mind a little extra weight. I had a rami and while I enjoyed carrying it I found I couldnt let the mags drop free because of the way my hand came over the bottom of the frame I still want another rami to carry though. With the compact I use a Don Hume Jit slide holster that I really like and find very comfortable and easy to conceal at least for me anyway.
