Sorry, I switched photo hosting my site and forgot to update this post.
I will get the images back up and add some new additions when I get back to the states next week.

Oh, please do not go to any trouble on my account good folks! I really thought it was an error on my end and wanted to just confirm. This forum has been fantastic and is a great way to fill that 10 day wait!

I really appreciate the help BTW, cntrydawwwg!!!


Side Note:

Oddly, I am here on this forum (and now owner of a CZ) as a result of looking @ Sig stuff on Google, and it was a posting I read on this forum (no way to recall which one now) that did it. All I recall is the comment stuck in my head and it went like this:

(in reply to someone defending their love of Sigs)
"I understand you love Sigs, and no doubt it is a great weapon. However, if reliability is your utmost concern - look at the CZ P-01. There are those of us that love them and find with just a little work they perform quite well, some even say close to the Sig - if not a bit better with some parts and polishing for a fraction the cost of the Sig. It is certainly worth a look anyway, hope you find what fits your needs......."

Paraphrasing, but that was my recollection of it. I knew nothing about "CZ's", and frankly I've spent my life sticking to collecting the "classic" names: Colt, Glock, Sig, Springfield, Remington Smith and Wesson, Etc.

IDK why, but the kindness in the tone from the "CZ guy" on here was shocking to me when I read it. I had to look into this gun. And this forum.

What I found is a really great forum, about a really great manufacturer of guns, with a really great group of inhabitants! I am grateful to you all.

So I searched the P-01. Forever, it seemed, but probably only a good 40 hours online + hitting up the few ranges I frequent and speaking to people there + my gun shops + a couple friends later and.... Darnit, this is one helluva gun and I had absolutely zero idea!!!

Tuesday is the day I get the P-01. Thanks again all!

Have a great day!

To set the record straight, my gun was test fired 3-6-16 @ CZ. My rear sight had a set screw and it was 1.5mm.

Here are pic of the new weapon. I was successful (mostly) in installing the front and rear sights without issue. I lost the little pin for the front but CGW tracking number says that (and a few other spares) will be delivered today so no harm, no foul.

Anxious to get to the range!

Sorry guys, having a real hard time with posting pics. I have searched for info on the site to no avail, I will keep at it and get them up soon I hope!

Posting pics ( From the FAQ section)[emoji6]

http://www.czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=14704.0
   Long story short, you need to host pics to an offsite host like image shack. Then link from there.
   If using a mobile device, install the Tap a Talk app. You can post directly from the app.
If guns are outlawed.........
 Only outlaws will have guns.

Your welcome. Pics look good, now you just need to play around with resizing them a little smaller[emoji6]
   800x600 or smaller works better for those viewing on a computer screen. I've used one of the resizing apps called Simple Resize. Works great. [emoji6]
    Also my Tap a Talk app for I Phone asks for your preferred size, so yours might too.
