Borsig, what can happen, and does occasionally. If they sit on Hicks shelf's longer than they want. You could see them at Gander as a clearance item.

Tombstone tactical had free shipping on these, which was nice as I only had to pay the $15 transfer fee .

  • Is it broken? Then why are you fixing it?

I have a stock P01,  well my dad does,  and while I like it enough to want to mod it I also like the heft a little.  I'm just concerned with carrying it all day. It took my back a while to get used to the P7 and that's 34. 4oz loded I believe.  This would be another 9 oz roughly loaded.  Not terrible.

I've been after a p7 for years. It's a shame they're off the roster but it's a feat of engineering and reliable. Too bad they're so pricey cause I'd have one if they weren't. Nice piece bud. I'm jealous.

Wife: Is it broken?
Me: No.
Wife: Then why does it need to be fixed?
Me: I knew you wouldn't understand.
Me: You're way smarter than I am babe.
Wife: Ok, so if it's not broken and not fixed, what exactly is it?
Me: It's taking time Hun. Just taking some time.

so it appears they are going to be to heavy, or very close to working for IDPA CCP weight?

Thanks man.  Love the pistol,  very unique 9n so many ways.  The cool thing is it points exactly the same as a CZ so swapping between them feels familiar.

I ordered on the 6th, got tracking on the 12th, and is expected to arrive on the 16th. Such a long 10-day stretch. I don't think I've ever been this anxious.

Mr.Gundealer's site still shows stock. Good price, just a little slow on turn around time.

Glad this helped ya! I'm a snob on triggers and definitely recommend polishing, a few springs and one of the competition or race hammers. It will turn it into a real gem IMHO. Enjoy and let us know if you have any questions or need any help!

Pretty good choice for a first CZ IMHO. I'm betting there will be full size SP01 - or better yet, a Shadow - in your future.

You guys suck, made me have to have one. Going to get it now. Going to look good next to my full-size stainless and my other compact. I got a set of mepro lights to put on it right here along with a 13-pound spring kit and some aluminum grips on the way.

Twenty seven pages in!  Are there any women out there to provide shooting/handling feedback?

So, got mine together yesterday and put 250rds of mixed stuff through it today...

Thoughts so far are: this thing is a tank, even unloaded! It's called a "compact" but it weighs about as much as a full-size (which doesn't bother me a bit because I figured it would, and all-steel, well, shoots like all-steel, and I dig that).
Like others have said already, this is probably the best finished CZ I've ever purchased (and I've had 8 of them over the years), no real machine marks or rough spots anywhere.

Mine has got the full Cajun Gun Works love, meaning the Production-legal kit + SRS-1 short-reset + T-2 disconnector: so without me going too OCD on the polishing (some 400, 1000, and 1500 grit did get used on the sides and bottom of the trigger bar and on the sides of the hammer, but I consider that fairly normal when doing a trigger job), it's pretty ridiculously close to my Shadows in trigger weight, feel, and trigger-reset. Yeah, the new hammer/springs probably makes the biggest impact, but if anyone is on the fence about doing the SRS-1 + T-2 disconnector, I'd say if you've got the scratch, DO IT.
What is really interesting to me is how CGW's SRS-1 works and I didn't completely get it until after I installed it: when you let the SA out to reset it "clicks" and resets BEFORE it re-engages the firing-pin-block (so maybe equal too or within 1-2mm of a non-FPB Shadow's/85C's reset), if you get off the trigger or let it out maybe 1-3mm's further, it then resets the FPB and STOPS... so if you get off the trigger in SA, thanks to the T-2 disconnector, you only have 1-2ish mm's of take-up (just deactivating the FPB which I can't feel is still in there), then BANG! I'm pretty impressed. Also, put in a 14lb reduced-strength recoil-spring so it shoots flatter and I can track the sights better.

I also installed Dawson sights because I like to actually be able to aim and hit stuff and I'm one of those weirdos who likes sights that are super-crisp and free of distracting gimmicky stuff, the "thick" 97 trigger 'cause I just prefer them, and a P-01 slide-stop... because it should have gotten one already as it fits it way better while not sticking out the other side like 1/4" and I'm pretty sure whomever the guy at CZ was who grabbed and installed the TS slide-stops on this run of guns was drunk or something. I'm pissed at myself for forgetting to order a solid firing-pin-retaing pin from CZC because I feel they're essential if one plans on dry-firing a lot, but I'll be getting one and installing it soon.

Set off everything I brought today except for some light-strikes on some crummy steel-cased Russian manufactured Monarch crap I got at Acadamy for $9 a box... it was the ammo, as I was skeptical enough to where I pulled the 13lb hammer-spring (all went bang on the second pull though) and reinstalled the stocker: still got the same results w/ a light-strike every 8-10rds. I just wanted to see if it would run and extract the crappy stuff, and it did flawlessly.
As far as accuracy: didn't take much to hold a 1.5-2" group at 20yards off-hand, even w/ my local indoor range conspiring to make it impossible for me to see my all-black irons, as apparently they didn't think decent or even adequate lighting was needed when they designed their range (they've got lots of goofy zombie targets and Duck Dynasty type gear if you're into that sort of thing though).

Oh! Before I forget, someone had already mentioned it but: SAVE YOURSELF LOTS OF CUSSING AND CLIP THE STUPID LITTLE TAB OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE MAG-BRAKE WITH SOME TIN-SNIPS! That stupid/useless tab on there turns an easy hammer-spring swap into a curse-filled !@## show LOL.

I bought some VZ grips for it which normally I like w/ the 97 trigger, but the "palm-pinch" when doing fast reloads w/ the thin grips is no bueno, and these days I'm preferring the "meatier" palm swells so I'll be returning them and trying the LOK palm-swells, stock works ok for now...


can you give a model or item number for those dawson sights??
