Buying my first CZ. P01 or P07?

[Vinny]

My polycoat CZ's have held up fine to carry wear. That said, I wouldn't pay $650 for a P-01 just to buy it locally. Over MSRP is little unreasonable in my opinion, they are too easy to find online. P-07's on the other hand have a fair amount of variation in trigger quality so I'd prefer to dryfire one before buying.

+1 Very good advise from Earl.

Oh no. That remark about trigger quality consistency didn?t make my decision any easier. They don?t have a new P-07 in stock. The one I handled was one of their range rentals. If I tell them I want to go with the 07 instead then it has to be ordered

FYI:
For comparison here's an image of my P-01 barrel (foreground) and my P-07 black nitrated barrel after ~3,000 rounds each. I log my shooting so this is not a guess. Probably no effect on accuracy, but the P-01 is clearly more 'worn-in'. Ditto for the slide rails. I use EWG Extreme Weapons Grease or Slide-Glide grease on both. The P-07 nitrate finish is just flat-out much harder and more durable.

It'll more than likely be fine. You don't have to accept it if it's not to your liking.

IMHO, the finish on the P-01 barrel seem to be just an afterthought on CZ part. Originally the barrels on all the 75 variant pistols were uncoated.  I even heard some people removing the coating and having no issues with the uncoated barrel.

I?m probably going to be calling the dealer tomorrow and placing an order for the P-07. Unless anyone has any last minute advice. Worst case scenario I waited too long and they take the offer off the table to transfer the funds and then I just HAVE to get the P-01

I think you'll be happy whichever way you go. That's why most of us own both. Or multiples of both. . .

Go for it, you cant go wrong either way. Judging from your thread, the other pistol will likely join you sometime in the future anyhow!

As much as I would like to say get the p01, I think you should get the P-07 use the extra money to buy a holster an extra magazine or two, carry it, train with it and whenever you have the ability do the same with the p01. I just bought a p01 and am going to be buying a PCR because I liked it so much. I like the metal framed pistols more than the polymer. But I have been thinking about getting a p09 suppressor ready with the 21 round magazine as a bedside gun.

Any idea what holsters out there would fit the P-07 with an APLc on it? I have an aliengear iwb and they allow you to do free shell swaps for life but they don?t have a shell for a light bearing P-07. I was hoping not to have to spend the money for a new holster but if I put the light on the gun it looks like I?ll have to.

JM has them for both the 01 & 07.

Funny how majority of people actually responding to the post seem to be pushing me towards the 07 but if you just look at the poll results it tells a different story

Exactly. What does that tell you ?
You would have to be some special case of Einstein not to get this message.

Get one now, buy the other one later. Easy.

Since the P-01 is above MSRP, the P-07 is a better deal. Buy the P-01 later when the big dealers get the next shipment in and the price is more reasonable.

You will eventually get both.  And yes, I do get paid to convince people to buy CZs.

Like I said, the heart says P-01, but the head says P-07. I think the 01 has earned a certain level of status that is equal parts logic and emotion. Emotion just doesn't seem to come into play as much with polymer guns. Then again, I've never been a member of a Glock forum.
