I have gotten mine all cleaned and lubed but haven't had a chance to get to the range. I was thinking about changing out the grips but I dont think I am going to. The stock grips feal really good.

I just got notice that mine will be delivered on Wednesday. It took a little longer due to Veterans Day. I can't wait to get it  :D

It's interesting to see what everyone ends up doing to theirs... Stock, polishing, upgrades... Share pics of em and when ya'll take them to the range.

I need to put some rounds through it before I decide, but the trigger feels fine to me . Better than my HK45ct. Probably change the sights , maybe the grips just for aesthetics.

Just received an email stating that my gun has shipped and will arrive Thursday! Also my neighbor and shooting partner just ordered a P07 that will be in Wednesday. Sounds like a good weekend at the range! :)

I hear the aftermarket  aluminum grips on the are a bit thinner than stock.  They do look nice.Any opinions on these? Thanks in advance.

    I have medium sized hands, so I don't like any extra grip thickness on the grip under my trigger finger (joint and what not) because it reduces my reach. The thin aluminum grips are definitely thinner than the stock rubber grips and give me more reach with my trigger finger. I have them on all three of my CZ's.
    They are pricey through, so you could consider the Lok grips. They are a little thicker than the thin aluminum grips, but I hear great things and I think they are on ebay for around $50...

Thanks  for the reply!I have large hands so the stock grips are not an issue for me. The aluminum grips do look nice! I may get a set to try them out.

CGW has some pretty nice grips with a starburst type of pattern at a very nice price. They were out of the compacts the last time I checked though.

You might want to pick up a used set first then. I wear an XL glove and I couldn't get used to them. They look nice, but I prefer the LOK palm swell bogies, rubber grips and VZ diamonds in that order.

Some thoughts after putting 140 rounds down the pipe today .

I see no issues with the trigger , both DA and SA felt fine and pretty crisp. I also didn't find the DA heavy  ( I am use to issued M9s and my HK45ct so I am not exactly a trigger snob)

The grips felt good, kind of ugly but I'll deal (my hands are massive ).

POI was slightly left of POA, not sure if it was me or the sights ( I am an experienced shooter, but by no means perfect ).

It fed the !@##ty range reloads pretty well, one stove pipe but it was pretty obvious that it was a weak round ( felt like a .22)

Felt pretty balanced, and sturdy . I'd like to say it pointed naturally but with the slight POI/POA issue I am not sure I am ready to say that
