[s0nspark]

Picked it up about an hour ago.

Very nice!

Forgot to add this.  In VA the threaded barrel makes it an "assault pistol".  That means you have to have proof of US citizenship (birth certificate or passport).

Please throw a evil flash hider on it to make it more assault like!

I almost ordered my favorite holster for my soon to be new Urban Grey P-01 but then I remembered that the front suppressor site would most likely not allow it to fit.

Can we start a list of holster that will for this new P-01 and its front sight?

It fit my Comp Tac International that I use for my SP01 just fine.

I'll have to try it in the SP-01 holsters that I have once I receive the pistol

OR Voter Registration.


I'd like to see CZs come with ledge sights also.  I like the looks of the Omega trigger - very nice.  I never liked the recurved trigger.

Interesting.  I'm not big on threaded barrels.

Is the standard compact barrel interchangeable?

Well, I "know" a little more about it now.

Took it apart and cleaned it and lubed it.  Didn't need cleaning.  It was about the cleanest new gun I've ever seen.

The finish is worn off the rails on the frame where the slide rides back and forth (fine with me) even before I shot it.

Frame is aluminum (didn't realize that when I bought it,  but again, fine with me.)

Sights are night sights.  Nice glow, all night long.

Very nice trigger in single action.  Very much like my P07 DUTY when I first bought it.  I haven't checked pull weights, yet.

The two supplied magazines drop free when the mag. release button is pressed.  The CZ 75 magazines I've been buying up in preparation for the P01's arrival do not drop free.  I though they were the same magazines but there's some small difference.  I'll have to take care of that before I start carrying it.

There's something a little funny with the safety.  If I drop the slide to load a round from the chamber the safety goes to the safe position just fine.  If I shoot it and then put it on safe, again, no problem.  If I start to take up the trigger pull, then decide not to fire it the safety will not move to the safe position.  I mean pull the trigger to the point where the firing pin block is lifted, but not far enough to release the hammer.  Something else I'll need to figure out/fix prior to carrying it.

I can pull the hammer back slightly and the safety will move into the safe position.  The hammer must be moving ever so slightly during that last part of the trigger movement before it fires and the hammer moving is blocking the safety.  Or, some other internal part moved, but not the hammer.

The grips are black, like my wife's CZ 75 compact, but these are soft rubber while the CZ 75 compact has hard plastic (?) grips.  The look the same but the P01's grip is "grippier" due to the material it's made out of.  The front and back of the frame on the P01 are machined with long slots to aid in gripping the pistol, while the 75 Compact's frame is not.

Range report tomorrow with target pictures, once I get my phone out of the car (car's in the garage and it's raining like hell outside).

I like it.  Not, so far, in the same league as the P09 9MM, but I still like it.

Awesome info - please keep it coming.

Do you have a pair of calipers? Can you measure the distance from the trigger face to the back of the back strap where the web of your hand rests under the beaver tail on both the new Omega trigger and the SP-01 with the recurve trigger?

Also, I want to buy your decocker levers!

Mine is waiting at my ffl till my OD SP01 comes in from Kentucky Gun Co.

[K3JB]

Really good looking.

Sorry for the delay in answering a couple of the questions.  I'd think about the calipers when I was inside but when I went outside to walk/feed the dogs it never occurred to me to get them from the garage.

So, The distance between the front of the trigger and the rear of the frame at the closest point is 2.98"

I also got out the trigger pull ga.  SA the trigger pull repeats at 3.5 to 3.75 lbs.  DA is something right at, or just above 11 lbs.  My ga. only goes to 11 lbs.  The DA trigger pull is different than on the P07 and P09 though.  On both of those the hammer starts to raise at some point, moves part of the way back (can't confirm it's before, or after, half cock) and then finally moves to the rear and releases.

The P01's hammer appears to be glued to the back of the slide as the slider on the ga. moves up the scale, then suddenly, at about 11 lbs. it flies rearward and releases.  I tried it several time make sure I wasn't missing some movement of the hammer.  It's just pull, pull, pull, bang (or in this case, click).  No idea why the P07/P09  trigger pull is different for DA vs. this P01.

Thanks for the info. This really makes me want one...except in black. I'll admit the urban grey or whatever it's called is also growing on me, but my carry guns are always black.
