My P01 OD Deal
« on: October 06, 2015, 11:03:33 AM »
I had been looking for a P01 for a few months and could not find any locally that someone did not want an arm and a leg for, so I settled on a CZ 75 Compact that I found for a good price.
A friend of mine told me that Cabela's had an used OD green P01. So yesterday, I went and looked at it. I ended up purchasing the used P01 OD with 3 magazines for $380 plus tax ($418 total).  I think I got a good deal.
 I would have preferred a black one but the OD green has grown on me now that I own it.
The bad:
2 out of the 3 magazines are factory 10 rounders. I live in a state that can have large capacity magazines, so I prefer to have the larger capacity.  I will probably buy some of the extended 16 round magazines from Greg Cote and sell the 10 rounders.
I cannot start modifying it until I finish modifying the 75 Compact, as I don't want to have multiple projects going at the same time. Patience is not one of my virtues.
Cannot wait to shoot it, I will be taking it to the range on Thursday.

I really want to stick with P07s and P09s to keep the magazines pretty much standard.

But every time I see one of those green P01s it makes me think having yet another type of magazine might not be that big a deal.  You know what I mean.
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

Congratulations, that was a great buy! It's really amazing that you got a deal like that at a Cabela's! I could never get a deal like that at the Cabela's in my area.

Well done.
The "used" PO1 does not look used at all.
Even the magazines don't appear to have gone in and out of the gun much.
Well done indeed.

Fantastic price!  I paid around $550 for mine brand new from kygunco.  Here's a pic of my OD green P-01, with new grips, meprolight sights and some cajun upgrades :)

I love the gun especially in green! I would have one in a second if it wasn't for the stupid Canadian gun laws! Nothing 4" or less can be imported, RUGER & SW got around this by making revolvers 4.2" but that's harder to do with a semi. I have a 85b with a kadet dedicated to it, an 85 combat for 9mm plus I finally got myself a SP01 SHADOW. I figure if I can't get a compact that I will look for a nice pre b cz75. A club member has one and he really wants my hammerli exesse target .22 which I don't shoot anymore because KADET  with upgrades shoots just as good or better plus I enjoy shooting it. AWESOME P01 JUST NEEDS A CGW HAMMER! just a thought . LOL

Congratulations on a great find. I purchased mine just because of the color so it's different from my black guns.
