I sold every handgun I had and replaced them with an SP-01 for the house and a P-01 for the road.

I was never a big fan of the CZ, until I spent sometime with one during a class, it was rock solid dependable and without a hiccup. I was sold on it!

I was an early adopter of the P01. Mine has well over 8k rounds of all kinds down the pipe, I can’t remember the last malfunction, I think there have been two. No mods, and the trigger is smooth as a babies ass in both modes. Beats Glock ergos all day long.

Fanboy here, so glad that I found them before making the progression from cheap, to Sig, to Glock, to CZ. First pistol was a M&P Shield for EDC. Wife wanted to have a home defense gun and we rented a Glock19 but she wasn't happy with the muzzle flip. I did some research and found a SP-01 for her for home defense, while doing the research I wound up a fanboy. I managed to find a PCR for my EDC and am incredibly happy with the change. Having guns that are fun to fire makes it that much easier to make an excuse to go to the range. The M&P Shield was a great gun, but I didn't enjoy shooting it, having pretty much a piece of art that is reliable and in addition fun to shoot makes training on our tools much more enjoyable.

CZ is makes some of the finest firearms in the world!

In the mid 1980’s I read a story on how CZ pistols are manufactured. To add to your story, not only are CZ pistols placed in a vise like structure but, they’re also sprayed continuously with oil. The oil spray assists with wearing in all contact points and washes away any metal from the wear in process. I was stationed in Berlin, FRG in the mid 80’s when I read that story. I had been a rifle and shotgun guy growing up and had just entered my early 20’s. I was legal to purchase handguns and began taking interest in them. A fellow soldier worked, part time, at the rod and gun club on post and excitedly told me about the CZ-75 pistols that had arrived. Never heard of them so I decided to have a look at one. It felt amazing in the hand and the price was $298. That was the price based on the current dollar to Deutchmark exchange rate. The only issue was that CZ’s weren’t able to be imported into the U.S. because they were made in a Communist country, I would have to be able to be the importer and apply to the ATF for permission to bring it into the States. At that time, it was my understanding that any CZ’s that were in the U.S. were imported through Canada and cost about $1,000. I didn’t have enough time time left, in Germany, to wait for approval so I passed on the purchase. I think back about owning one that wasn’t imported into the U.S. sans import marks on it. Fast forward to today. A little over 20 years ago I bought my first CZ. They weren’t very well known in the U.S. and I bought it for just over $300 NIB. I currently own six CZ’s, one being a Cajunized 97BD, and plan on adding more to my collection. Even today, people aren’t familiar with the brand and that surprises me. I own many handguns by different manufacturers but CZ is still my favorite. I always recommend owning at least one to anyone deciding to add a firearm to their collection.

Speaking of the CZ factory, they're starting to contract out work on their new North American headquarters 30 miles from my house. I was starting to think it wasn't going to happen, but apparently it's for real.

This is one of the best reviews on KZfaq about this cz po1. Good job bud! Keep making more great reviews!

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for my CZ 75 variants. Crazy how often they win out over my P365XL when I'm grabbing my carry pistol for the day.

My CZ75 has 5000 plus rounds. All types of ammo. Cheap FMJ, RNL, hollowpoint, even random reloads some guy at the range insisted I try, you name it. Still waiting for that first stoppage.....

i myself have a cz-75 sp-01 phantom and i love this pistol! it is as advertised, i have had no problems .

I bought a handgun magazine in 2006 and learned about the CZ brand, they impressed me. I am going to get this one. Great review! Thank you!

Have the P-01 and love it. I have done the Pro package, stainless guide rod and improved spring, new sights, lok grips and cerekoted.

From a guy southerner at heart in lockdown behind enemy lines just outside of Chicago. I dig you videos sir, and this whole channel has guys with good feeling personalities. Yes, everyone can get hardcore and gruff to make a gun video. But it's nice to have those videos that are just pleasant to watch with good personality people. Keep up the good work.

Love, Love, Love my CZ Pro Tek II (aka, a highly customized P-01) My edc of choice.

Love my CZ pistols. P01 was the 1st, followed by 97B, SP01 Phantom, P10S and a TSO. And I added a Dan Wesson TCP. All are awesome to shoot and the ergonomics are superb.

I actually have the same P01 and it will be a permanent part of my collection, I also have a steel frame P01 which also I will never sell

The OD green is what made me finally "pull the trigger" on this purchase for my CC. Irresistible.

I love my green CZ P-01! Mine has the decocker.

You got me smiling too! Love that color! I have the BD and just ordered a P-01 today.

That's a gorgeous pistol. I've owned several CZ75s and I currently have a CZ75B and a CZ97 they are absolutely so smooth and a dream to shoot 🙂🤤😁👍

Another outstanding video from the rooftop Appalachian 😆 i just picked up my cz p09 tactical last week . Put 500 rounds through it both suppressed and rowdy . Hitting clay pigeons on the berm 25 yards away then picking off the pieces 😍 not one single malfunction.

I just picked up the P-01 recently and I absolutely love it...it's such a well built piece.

Felt like listening to a friend

I started with one CZ. A P01 and now I’m up to 4. I have a P01 Sp01 P07 and a Rami 2075. Very addictive.

CZ and SIG Sauer and Colt, these are a few of my favourite things

I am a cz fan boy myself.

Love CZ as well. Can't go wrong with a P01. I have a P01 UG/SR Omega. Need to pick up a standard black one some day.

I've been shooting CZs since before it was cool. Eight so far. Sadly, they are at the bottom of Lake Erie.

Have one and love it! Slightly heavier than G19 but shoots a lot smoother. Replace the rubber grips and good to go

I've had 4 cz loved all of them and had it not been for life showing up I'd still have all 4

What a nice little gun and a real tack driver! I love my CZ P-01!

im losin my mind i think, i came across pats own channel a while ago, hes why i bought a taurus 605 a while back, he sold me on it. and now im looking at a p01 and just randomly clicked this video and heres pat again.

My edc. I love the rubber grips. They just feel right in the hand.

This is the best P 01 video I've seen by far. Fine I'll subscribe

I love my CZ 40P and have had it for many years but have never had any issues with it.

Look at pat's face when he's shooting from the holster he's just happy to be here

I have a 2075 Rami for my EDC. Smooth like Buttah, and ohhh so accurate. Great video Sir!

Love my P-01 and all of my CZs. Need to find a steel framed model to add to the collection.

I've been torn between a P-01 Omega and a Beretta 92X. There's still some Berettas available, due to them being $700. But the CZ was difficult to find before the covid19/race wars.

5 for 5 cz75 's that I've had they all were flawless from the box . I've added CGW springs and FP to my 5 to get DC trigger to 7/8 lbs. And SA pull to 3.5/ 4 lbs . The one I have now is the 75 p01 and I like it a little better than the 2 omega p01's . Nothing bad to say about CZ

CZ P 01 compact is my next purchase. Good video. Thanks

What a gem.

My carry is a p01 and I couldn’t be happier with it

So it's been one year since I watched this review and I don't know if I should Sue you for my new found addiction or my cult following I pretty much switch my primary pistols to all CZ75 compacts and SPO 1 And I'll have to say that's probably one of the best decisions I've made you should do some more reviews the content is great the delivery is fantastic

Man, that green just hits different. Has that retro/ modern vibe going.

Great review, as soon as I held one in hand, I knew this was gonna be my EDC. Read many reviews, did online research, but nothing speaks greater than holding one in hand and shooting it. My gun dealer just so happens to have one in stock, can't wait to get my greedy mitts on it (Taxi-Commiefornia makes you wait 10 days)!

The p01 was my 1st cz. Then came the p09, pcr, p10c, and now the p10s.

Love your content delivery. My first video of you and I’m hooked. Can’t wait to see more. Btw, what holster do you use for your p-01?

As an Englishman I sometimes despair at the way you Americans have mangled our language, but "Toad-strangler" I love that and will use it next time there's heavy rain!

I bought a CZ-83 off some guy who never shot it and kept it in his car all day. Immediately, the gun ran with no hiccups. I have since cleaned the external rust off and nearly fully restored the pistol, it shines like my hair now. Even their rusty 80's milsurp .380 pistols run well. I've carried a variety of Glock and CZ pistols personally and professionally, even the ones that were poorly maintained or altogether abused still run well. I have no qualms trusting my life to either of those guns.

Pat, if Remington had done that slide break in test, just like CZ did I wouldn't have went through 6 days of hell, working the slide back and forth to break it in. With that info you might have just created a new CZ fan.

I like “those who like CZ and those who haven’t tried CZ yet”!

I will consider it, thanks. Jim from Leesburg Virginia.

Cz Master race.

Love CZ

Just bought an od green p-01. Dream gun. Great vid

Just got me a P01 yesterday it’s wonderful

Great vid RMG! CZ makes a good yeeter! Looks like you are working double u tube duty 💥💥💥

I carry a p10c, love my cousins p01 omega. Shoots well, I have to get one of my own.

Thanks for this ,nice to see somebody out enjoying their gun. CZECH guns have always inspired me with their beauty and accuracy.

I have 1 CZ pistol (P-07) and I absolutely love it. I plan on getting more. Thinking of selling off some of my other pistols to replace them with CZ pistols!!! 😍

Multiple CZ's. I've got a couple of 75 SP-01's and just picked up my second P-01. I have already reached out to Dave at Cajun Gun Works to send this one in for the full treatment...

Great video Pat!

Great video review, the P-01 has been an excellent side arm for me and truly has the best ergo's of any pistol. Glad to see another person delve into the perfection of CZ. If or when you get the chance, shoot the P-07, another fine CZ. Got one in South Georgia if you want to try it out....

I'm getting mines tomorrow I'm excited

If Sig didn’t exist I might have already bought one. They might have the best out the box double action pull.

I am seriously looking at a CZ P-07 for my next purchase. I will be getting to the range to rent one in a couple of days to finalize what I am thinking. I like everything I see though and it is different.

Now that is a nice pistol Pat, love the color too 👍

Awesome channel.

Nice. I do like them . Looking at the 75BD

Enjoyed the video, thanks! Upvoted!

I was going back reviewing CZ models and looking for P-01 Green finish. I have one and had forgotten it was a "D" model decocker. For some reason I was thinking it was just a manual safety. These aren't marked D on the slide like the full size guns are. Now looking for a steel framed model CZ of some sort.

Love my CZs!! Nice job

Thanks for the KZfaq-friendly content.

What holster were you running? I'm going to purchase an omega and knowing what holsters are available will help.

Just a heads up from an LE firearms instructor. Whhen you draw, you are bringing the muzzle above the target then dropping it back down. If you draw and punch out it is more efficient than drawing with a straight arm.

I love my CZ so much that it’s the only DA/SA that I have not and won’t pass up. The other CZs I have are all fantastic and dependable

Awesome review

I have the same nsn od green cz only grip is the horrible stock sights but a few $ later and a mcarbo kit boom sig killer One of the items about this specific pistol that completely amazed me was its lack of weight it is almost identicle to a glock 19 which I don't know a kinder voodoo magic they do over theregreat video as ever

Man, you aren’t wrong about CZ’s. The only non CZ firearm I own is a Masada Slim. Thankfully, it takes CZ75 magazines, so I always have plenty of mags for it. My PCR and P01 get the most trigger time. I love the green P01 you have, very cool color, and VERY hard to find 👍🏼 Thanks for the video!!!

*OOOOOOH CZ!* Beautiful aluminum HAMMER, for when your mags run dry.

I have black P-01 w/ Cajun kit and OD Green w/Apex... both with LOK grips...keepers for sure... would like to add FDE version.

Great video! Great gun!!!

I'm looking for a good holster that won't scratch up the gun, what do you recommend? It's a p01

Liked... Subscribed... Enjoyed the video.

Love my CZ

Almost negligable recoil. I got a notification that the OD green p01 I wanted was back in stock in two different stores, and they were sold out in a couple of days. I have been waiting for a long time to find one in that color. I have been wanting one for a few years now.

Nice! I've got an OD Green P01 that I've internally polished and into which I've installed some MCARBO springs and CGW parts. It's terrific. DA 4lbs, SA 2 lbs. Have you tried a steel framed P01? Even nicer than the basic P01s. Basically a cut down version of the SP01. Safety only but has an extended beaver tail compared to stock P01s and of course it's a lot heavier than the aluminum framed stock P01. It's a very, very sweet/soft shooter. The added weight and longer beaver tail make a pretty big difference in comfort and shootability. I recently found one at a decent price and man, it's a keeper.

GREAT firearm.

I think that practicing with the three dot sights gives better practical experience for military pistol qualifications.

Getting my P-01 today!!!

Love the green version of this

Nice review! I can't decide between a P-01 and a 75D PCR....they both look so good and feel really nice in my hands. Hope to decide soon....

Lok grips, olight pl mini 2, polished barrel, feed ramp and, rails. A little over 1200rds over the last year. I haven't had a malfunction aside from using any aftermarket mags not made by mec gar.

Toad strangler?! Lol, love it! Great review, a CZ is my next pistol, still deciding between the SP-01 or the compact P-01

Love it

Very Nice ! 👍

I've sold a few guns... this being the only one I regret. But I got a p10c with the money, not a total loss.

I'm late to the party when it comes to Cz. I'm a Sig guy but love the hell out of my Cz SP-01. I have 4 Legions but when I train I use my Cz and my X5 320. Who knew?
