Got my P01!

chris in va · September 22, 2012, 12:52 AM

Had a 75bd for years, finally decided on the P01 as it's sucessor.

Using it in a match tomorrow but I'm already impressed. This thing was built with speed in mind. That beveled magwell makes the gun practically reload itself. First thing I did was install a 16# hammer spring and next will be a fiber front sight. Wow.

You are going to love this gun. I know mine has quickly become that one I would pick from my collection if I could only have one. The ergonomics are superior, at least in my hands.

Congrats Chris! I've always wanted one..Haven't seen any here locally. I'm going to have to hit the internet to be able to find one.

Enjoy!

Congrats on your new pistol.

You know what they say......pictures or it didn't happen.

Awwww yeah! Congratulations on your fine new pistol!

Agreed. This thread is in desperate need of pictures.

They are great guns. I love the way mine handles. Not a pic of the OPs gun but its all I got. LOL

^ Those are some nice grips.

WVsig · September 22, 2012, 10:28 AM

They are from CZ Customs. They make the guns super slim. One word of caution about the rubber coated factory grips. There are metal stays inside the grips and as the ribber wears those metal stays can gauge the frame.

Not as good picture quality as WVSig's...

But it's what I can get, quickly, with an iPhone.

VZ Tactical Diamond grips, Black Desert Sand; replaced the grip screws with blued hex screws from CZ Custom shop. Tuned by Matt Mink.

Same pistol, with Kadet .22LR kit.

(Edit: Kadet kits are getting harder to find, but I was able to order mine - in stock - from Cheaper Than Dirt.)
