Yay! Stock triggers suck, need CGW treatment for match grade. All depends what you want really?

Hey now Copemech, the G.P.'s trigger is awesome for stock, just that trigger comparison aside, my CZ currently edges it out for EDC.

Awesome pic Firemanjones! Is there any way possible that you could please do several comparison shots for me with the P-01 and P-07 like how I did with my Grand Power and CZ; views of them back to back, nose to nose, top to top, side by side from the rear and the front? Figure that would be a good set of comparison pics not only for me, but for anybody else who might also have similar questions.

OK Cyanide, these are for you.

Outstanding, and thank you very much Firemanjones! It's nice to be able to see them side by side just to see the small differences here and there. Definitely narrower from the front and top views, but thicker/wider in the grip, unless that is strictly your wooden grip panels.

Thinking I will probably invest in replacement night sights down the road for it (and my P-07). As for what you guys have told me about the trigger, I'm sure that I can get it smoothed out fairly quickly, as my daily ritual consists of dry firing a lot while out here on the road since I cannot actively get to the range as much as I would like.

Yeah, work needs to keep me hustling so I can get this thing out of layaway and fast. Just a matter of seeing if it dethrones the P-07 for EDC once I get it and put it through its paces at the range!

Keep the comments/suggestions/input coming please. Y'all be safe and have a great day!

Good pics Fireman.

Wow, the decocker on the P-01 is much further back.  I love the placement and action of the CZ 75 decockers.

Glad I could be of assistance.

Cyanide, the thickness is the grips. I have read here that the alum. grips are much thinner. I like my grips with some girth and the palm swells.

Towns, the decocker on the P-01 was at the half cocked position while the P-07 was all the way down.
Mind you, both were UNLOADED.

Thanks again FJ! The stock rear sights look almost identical to my Grand Power, which is one of my only gripes on that. But no biggie, I like shooting my stuff extensively in a stock condition before I ever decide to change anything.

I know it has nothing to do with performance but, the more I look at it I find the P-01 an extremely beautiful, aesthetically pleasing pistol begging to be shot, and shot A LOT. Y'all are going to you think I am crazy, but I look at my P-07 and Steyrs the same way!

I think the P-01 is one of the most beautiful handguns made!!!!!

It just looks like it wants to be taken to the range!

It shots holes right where you aim as well. Hard to do much better then the P-01 In My Humble Opinion

Of the CZ compacts I own, the PCR is my favorite. It has the best looks and in now fully Cajunized like my 75BD & P09.

I like my PCR as well and it is a great shooter. I carry it almost exclusively in the winter.
I just like how that P-01 looks no offense to my other CZ's or other hand guns it is just the one that wins the beauty crown in my safe.

Recoil guy, That is why there is horse racing, different cars  and guns. There is something different for someone's  preferences.

Cyanide...no, I like it.  How did you do it?

Just used the basic photo editing program on my, followed by an image combiner app. The same thing I use for all of my other pistol comparisons you see either here or the Walther forum.

I have seen your pictures on both sites. I have an iPad so will these apps work for me? And what app if it does.
