Help me decide - 75 Compact or P-07
« on: October 07, 2015, 10:55:35 PM »
Hello all - I'm looking to add another CZ to the family in addition to the SP-01 that I picked up earlier this year. Looking at the compacts as I am wanting to use this one not only at the range but also as a carry piece. I was leaning heavily towards a P-07 based on the feedback on this board but came across a lightly used 75 Compact that has me torn.

My SP-01 is the only CZ that I have shot but I have handled a P-07, P-09 and a standard 75 B. I have not had a compact in my hands yet. My buddy had told me about this used 75 compact and I called tonight to confirm it was available, verified the model and condition (was told it was in immaculate shape). I'm 100% on board with a manual safety, that is the setup on my SP-01, my 1911's of course and the setup that I would run on a P-07 if I went that route.

Either gun that I pick up with get some goodies fro CGW down the road.

Price on the 75 Compact is $399+tax (probably looking at $425 out the door). Price on the P-07 at Bud's plus transfer fees I'm looking at $480ish so they aren't too far apart.

I honestly know I won't be stopping at 2 CZ's and if I don't pick up the P-07 then I will probably add a P-09 to the stable down the road.

What say you?

Compact.

All the full size mags will work and you can add a spacer for a fullsize grip. Why buy a gun that requires a whole different set of mags. Down the road when other vendors can enter the market and we start to see some competition and the price per drops then I will get on board. Maybe that's just me, I'm a mag hoarder.

Don't get me wrong I love me some P09 FDE and wouldn't pass on a gen 2 P07 deal, but I would love them a whole lot more at ~$25/mag.

Being able to use the same mags certainly is a bonus. I've quickly collected a number of mags for my SP-01 that I could use for both guns.

+1 on what AZ CZ said. It sure is nice having multiple guns that use the same magazine.

Yup, that was the deciding factor for me, too. I'm now pretty committed to the 75 series instead of the P series (though if they ever bring back the P-02...).

Remove the base plate from a 16 round mag and replace it with an SP01 base plate.

Another  vote for Compact. Mag Sharing and very similar ergonomics to your SP01 are a powerful combination...

Let us know what you decide!

Cheers

They work great, and I use them on my Beretta full sized mags in my compact.

Are you talking about a spacer for the mag or the SP-01 baseplate?

I have two compacts - one a P01 and the other a .40 compact - plus a P07. I personally prefer the compacts. More ergonomic grip and I get 16 rounds +1 with a 16 round mag with SP01 base plate and my backup mag is an 18 round SP01 mag.

That would be my preference but then the 97B get's tossed in the mix and things get complicated.  ;D
