First Time CZ Owner - Page 2

My new winter EDC is an alloy framed compact, but that's just because I managed to find a set of (discontinued) Lasergrips for it. I actually like the P-07 more.

Think Glock 19 but without the "shoot yourself in the leg" trigger and with a comfortable grip angle. If there were a laser for the P-07 it would be my new carry gun instead of the compact.

Does Crimson Trace have the rail mounted laser that you could put on it... I have the rail mount one on my Glock 19 and it fits and looks awesome on it. Very accurate.......!!!!

gmoney · February 16, 2017, 08:43 PM

Hello Elkins45, check out the Crimson Trace (CMR-201) Universal Railmaster
laser.........locks right on to your P-07 Rail....! They run around $159.00, give or take.....

farmboy · February 16, 2017, 09:52 PM

I went shopping for the SP-01 and came home with the P-07 a little better than a year ago, and I feel like I hit the lottery. I've handled the steel guns, love 'em, I'll own one someday, but I wanted a poly carry gun anyway, so....

What it boils down to is that CZ makes one of the best, if not THE best poly and steel guns available.

I paired my P-07 with a Kramer scabbard holster, and I feel I have the best carry rig a guy could own at any cost.

Yes. I have an IWB single clip holster from Blue Line Concealment.

Aliengear also makes a good dual clip IWB for it.

In a couple weeks I'm getting a custom holster from Black Rhino Concealment to accommodate my P07 with a Streamlight TLR-3 attached. Also IWB.

I think quite a few companies offer a P07 holster now.

These are "old" ones I have, but I think they are all outstanding. I would recommend sll for anyone: CZ75B, CZ70, CZ52. Have had outstanding performance by all

I love my CZ75 P-01 and CZ97B. Great guns. Maybe one day I will trade the CZ97B because its too big for my hand but I still love it.

The P-01 is my favorite gun of all the ones I have.

gmoney · February 17, 2017, 06:01 PM

Viper99, I still plan on getting a P-01 someday soon if I can locate one.

armoredman · February 17, 2017, 10:53 PM

Crimson Trace doesn't make lasergrips for CZ any more, too bad. My set finally quit working for my P-01, still in the back of the safe somewhere. The RAMi isn't actually a CZ-75 direct model, it's a shrunken version of the CZ40B, itself a slightly reworked version of the CZ/Colt hybrid the Colt Z-40. Great little gun, and my wife loves hers. Nice grips on yours!

Good holsters are around - personal preference is High Noon for my rigs, and they carry everything for CZ.

Oddly enough, the one CZ pistol I have never had is the actual original CZ75B, weird, isn't it?

GoPappy · February 17, 2017, 11:12 PM

I agree with the comments here about the steel and alloy CZs. I've got an SP-01 Tactical that is the sweetest shooting, most accurate pistol I own. I LOVE that gun.

And I recently bought a CZ Rami BD (decocker) model. It feels great in the hand and shoots well, although I'm not nearly as accurate with it as I am with the SP-01 Tactical.

Congrats on your P-07. I've never shot one, but I've handled them in the store and they feel great. It sure seems like a bargain for what you get.

jetinteriorguy · February 18, 2017, 05:47 AM

A couple years ago I got a P09, nice gun. Probably the most accurate 9MM I'd had up to that point. But for some unexplainable reason it just didn't excite me. So I traded it for a model 28. Been through a few other 9mm's since but always wondered about a P07. Picked one up a couple days ago an just shot it yesterday. I put a couple hundred rounds through of my various loads and wow do I just love this thing. Just as accurate as my P09 but the size is perfect for me and I'm so glad I gave it a chance, a definite keeper.

Sorry Pilot, my bad. I meant to say all "metal". I am old and blonde.

Well I'm just old! No worries! I thought maybe CZ snuck something by me. I like the RAMI, but have a PCR so.....

Lantern,

My PCR is totally stock, but if I did modify it, I'd copy yours if that is OK. lol!
Beautiful. Let us know how the CGW upgrades go!

armoredman · February 18, 2017, 01:37 PM

There IS an all steel frame CZ Compact pistol with decocker, but finding one ain't easy - Israeli Contract CZ75 Compacts, which were built with a decocker instead of the safety. I would give an unused body part to get one....

gmoney · February 18, 2017, 04:45 PM

I put some Tractiongrips.com...grips on my P-07 yesterday and they look and feel incredible on the gun....! give the grips a more rubber grip feeling.....
I also got to digging around my gun room and found an old Bianchi model 4584 Evader retention holster I had bought years ago for my Sig 2022 and guess what....it fits my CZ P-07 perfect ..!!! locks up good and draws smooth, Nice...!!

Totally happy. Here are pics of the 10 pull averages of the DA and SA and one of how she looks with the new trigger, hammer and grip screws.

Sorry about the cell phone pics. The DA has smoothed out from being longish and having 3 notches(from decocked position) to having 2 very light notches and being a shorter pull. Also, the reset is IMO fantastic. After a few hundred rounds it'll be even better as I had the guy simply install the parts instead of buffing/polishing like the guys at CGW would have if I had sent it in.

gmoney · February 19, 2017, 07:54 PM

Very Nice....!!!!

Viper99 · February 19, 2017, 08:19 PM

Lantern2814,
That is one gorgeous PCR. Where did you get the grips? I think I will put them on my P-01.

lantern2814 · February 20, 2017, 06:41 PM

I got them from Cajun gun works. BTW.....they also come in olive.

FYI, they come with a rectangle piece of grip tape to go into the area you see on my grips. You have to cut it to fit. Super easy, but just thought I'd let ya know since nobody told ME. LOL

^^^^^^^Really, really nice. Good job!

rmi63 · February 23, 2017, 01:31 PM

Cajun gun works also came out with a new set of thin aluminum grips. I am still waiting on any feedback. I use the same thin grips as above but added even more grip tape.

Finally got out and broke in my new P-07 today , first impressions are that this is a keeper,,,! second magazine I shot 14 out of 15 in a 3" group from 12 yards........ not too shabby considering my first time as a CZ owner....., was very happy. Put 250 rounds through today , not one hiccup.. , would have shot more but battling a bad headcold right now....

Good to hear. Enjoy.

gmoney... the accuracy of the P-07 is very impressive. Look up JoeMustang (I think that's his handle) on YouTube. He uses one for bullseye sometimes just for the heck of it.

gmoney · March 8, 2017, 07:58 PM

I will....., Thanks TBT....!
