JesseM Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I've been thinking about picking up one... looking for opinions. Looking for a carry gun that I might shoot some IDPA and USPSA matches with occasionally. I'm mostly a Glock guy but I started off competing with a CZ, I just told myself I'd never get another gun that I couldn't reverse the mag release on which is they the P-07 is on my radar. Anyone have any experience with them? Good sight or holster recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pivoproseem Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Make sure you get a recent production model. They improved the materials of the frame...the first generation had a tendency for the frame to bulge. I love CZs, but never been a fan of plastic guns...

gixxerjunky Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Get a P01 The P07 is an ok pistol but I like the P01 better. A lot of people love them and the omega trigger isn't half bad but also can't be improved much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZinSC Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I have a P07, and I like it. Well, I really like it because it was a raffle prize from the Florida Open! Anyway, it's been my carry gun since I got it. I'm a big guy and its easy for me to conceal in the winter and spring months, but during the summer it's a little tougher. I use a Crossbread Super Tuck. The gun shoots pretty well. I don't shoot IDPA so can't help you there, and I wouldn't consider it for USPSA, ( i shoot an SP01 in Production ). When I shoot USPSA, I want competition sights, not carry sights. I suppose I could change them, but just never saw the need. I recently picked up a S&W Bodyguard for summer carry. NIce little gun I can stick in my pocket and run out the door. When the weather gets cooler, I'll switch back to the P07. i've never held a P01, but looks like a nice shooter. Like I said in the beginning, I won my P07. Not sure I would have purchased it as my carry gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxerjunky Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Here is my P01 and I carry it in a CBST as well. http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/pp56/2005gixxer600/C337EC7F-F815-4C9D-853D-03D5144B0697-3004-0000036294025FD7.jpg Edited June 18, 2013 by gixxerjunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eerw Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Been playing with a P07. Haven't done much, but so far its been good. It feels and points pretty good. Trigger is reasonable. Sights need some improving. 75 mags will fit and function , SP01 mags will fall out. Looking forward to having some fun with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxerjunky Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 My biggest complaint on the P07 were the plastic sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspiredm3 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 The P07's look pretty nice, would love to shoot one some day! Even though I haven't shot a P07, I'm pretty sure i'd pick my PPQ over it in that category pistol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akacala Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Fun review of the P07 I like mine, picked it up after I started shooting a 75 shadow in IDPA. Shoots and points well for me, would not hesitate to shoot it in IDPA, would like different sights though. After shooting the 75 shadow from CZC I feel like the trigger could be improved a bit, but I figure tats just cause I'm spoiled from my shirt reset trigger. Will be waiting to see what Eerw does with hs project Edited June 18, 2013 by Akacala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people love them and the omega trigger isn't half bad but also can't be improved much either. I really like that I can reverse the mag release on the P07. As far as I know there is no way to do so on the P01 or I'd be looking at that. That's a big must for me on any gun from here on out. I have a P07, and I like it.

Not sure I would have purchased it as my carry gun. Most of my matches I go to I go to because I'm looking to compete but sometimes I'm looking to just have fun, I don't think the P07 would be my primary competition gun but it'd be cool to shoot some matches with it just for the hell of it, to get some practice with it... partly I just like knowing I could shoot it in a match if I wanted to.

eerw Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 The P01/P06 and Compact L compact guns you can switch the mag release to right hand side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxerjunky Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 You can reverse the mag catch on the P01 FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And things just got more interesting... I like this option much better as I already have some mags that will work... hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried them,,,and when I shoot it the mag will drop out. I can also wiggle them free off the mag catch. so probably just a slight tolerance issue.

JesseM Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 So how difficult is it to swap the mag release on the P01? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 If you want a hell of a carry gun and a decent game gun. The P-01s with the safety not decockers are awesome. Mine WILL see some IDPA use!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were still a month out for the 9mm models. There have been some P-09s out there. Matt Mink has one listed on Gun Broker at http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=348126016. I followed an old link to that Gun Broker auction and it redirected twice to new auctions so I guess no one has been snapping that gun up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
