The one I’ve wanted for years. You said it, there are long stretches where they are unavailable and the budget gets used elsewhere. Like the P10c or P07. Why didn’t CZ design those with the same grip as the 75 series? That elongated grip shape just puts the trigger a touch out of comfortable and solid reach for me. Argh! But, if you’re big enough they do shoot very well. “You guys know there are days when you connect better or worse” (paraphrased) and that is so true. And one of the reasons I enjoy your reviews so much. A regular guy telling us about a gun without oozing perfection. I suspect editing helps keep that facade up with some reviewers. Anyway, great review!
Well said on the grips Jake! As for the shooting, you have to bae able to be honest when it's a bad day. I have many, lol. It just makes the good days that much more sweet! Editing perhaps does do a little trickery but thankfully I don't deal with speeding up frame rates or anything... I think it actually looks worse to do that and people catch on pretty quick. Better to just call it what it is and have a laugh about it. Thank you as always and cheers brother!
I have an Omega and like the feel of the straighter trigger. Changed grips to LOK thin checkered and helped with trigger reach, as well as overall fit & feel.
Easy trick for the takedown: Use the corner of the magazine baseplate to get the takedown pin popped out. Of course you can always use a tool, but if you don't have one handy, or like me you just want to keep it simple, using the magazine definitely works. Great video!
As it goes, this is an older video, but it pops up when I want to watch CZ videos. I have the P01 with the U.N. numbers and have had it for about 8 years. Absolutely love this gun and it pretty much is my EDC, appendix carry in a Vedder holster. Early on I had the P06 which was in 40 S&W, equally a great pistol, but when I cut back on all the calibers, I got rid of it. I don’t think they make it anymore. Anyway, great video!
My CZ PO1 is my favorite shooter. Accurate and smooth at the range. I installed the Cajun spring and trigger kits. Also replaced the rubber grips with similar thinner grips like yours. Definitely a keeper.
The easiest way to improve the SA trigger on a CZ Omega-action is to swap out the decocker for the manual safety. I did this with my P-07, and the SA trigger pull dropped to 3.75 lb.
Love CZ handguns, I sold my Glock 19 to buy a CZ PCR! Loved the PCR so much I bought a CZ SP01 Phantom in polymer! P.S. I purchased a used CZ P07 for a truck gun.
I am amazed how long CZ stayed off my attention list. I intend to rectify this in the future. I sure love the 9mm Phantom for sure. This one looks a little more compact.
Hey KS, I bought my first p-01 Omega and was really happy with the trigger. But I had already ordered the full Cajun kit lol. And it made a nice trigger even better. I am amazed at how good the trigger is cajunized. and honestly enjoy the omega more than my old p-01
I feel the same able CZs. I still have my 75B. Tactical OD green frame. Don't care for the trigger and the sights could be better but it's accurate. Not as good as the sp01 Phantom I traded away. (Idiot).
I just found that out a few weeks ago when I picked up a used P07. Now I’m getting a P01! These guns have the best ergonomics and I love the DA/SA system. I carry appendix and the decocker is the absolute best way to avoid decocking yourself.
Just picked one of these up. Traded in a Hellcat OSP, also a reliable quality pistol , that I’ve been carrying daily for a year now. I want to switch to appendix carry and do not feel comfortable carrying a striker fired pistol in that manner. Also I like that you can change the grips on it like a 1911. I ordered a set of the Lok Matrix thin grips in blood red with ivory accents that I think is going to look amazing can’t wait to get them. The only other thing I’ve done is change the guide rod out fo a stainless one.
Give me a p01 over a p10c any day of the week and twice on Sunday. I just like the hammer fired cz’s more than their new striker fired guns. I’ve yet to see a P01 omega in the wild. I love my standard P01. P01 for the win!
Love it. I own one and sent it to CGW to have my Dawson sight installed and their 3 Piece Spring Kit. Made all the difference and it's one of my nicest shooting pieces, next to my Dan Wesson 1911 Eco, and that's saying something! Nice video!!
That sounds like a sweet P01 with the CGW kit! I do agree if it’s being compared to a Dan Wesson, it must be something very special. Thank you and cheers!
I love my P01's, I think they really did knock it out of the park developing this pistol it seems to fit everyone's hand,everyone loves the feel of it it's easy to carry and does not print much at all, and you can do whatever you want to have them with aftermarket parts
Great review! I'm absolutely a CZ fan. I own a SP 01 Tactical, 75 B Omega, P-07, and a 75 D PCR (ECD). Absolutely no issues with any of them. Looking to purchase the P-01 soon, can't wait.
Seems like few are aware of it's slightly older, lesser known brother -- the P-02. The P-02 only comes with the safety (no decocker) to cocked/locked it the way to go. I find it more compact "in hand" than my 19 probably due to the better ergonomics vs Glock "brick". It "costs" one round down (14 vs 15), willing to do that for the great CZ trigger and internal slide rails.
I saw a used one in a pawn shop but didnt have the cash. Stopped in a couple times to ogle and fondle. The third time I came to visit she was gone.... I was sad.
Great looking pistola KS. I have the original P01 and I love it. I put a tiny scratch around the takedown pin while taking the gun apart using the magazine base plate. It's bugged the heck out of me ever since so good on you for being careful!
11/2020 i couldnt wait out the pandemic craze and paid $699. i dont mind paying a little more going through local shops, our gun shops near me are family owned and i am proud to support them. shout out MN and the other still “free” states!
Great video. Camera work is professional quality and the lighting is beautiful which makes for a great viewing experience. The icing is this amazing firearm. Love CZ. Thanks, KS.
I haven't been able to find one. I ended up with a Canik 120 clone. Ran great with whatever I put through it. But it was no CZ . The inside edges of the slide could slice open a finger.
I have a standard P-01 and love it. I was disappointed a little with how much muzzle flip there is. I really thought the internal rails and the alloy frame (as opposed to polymer) would make it a flatter shooting gun. I did put in a DPM guide rod system that calmed it down a little. It's the most accurate compact pistol I've shot.
Great review of a great gun. I had one a few years ago and foolishly sold it. At the time they were almost impossible to find. I got a lot more than I paid for it. I’ve been eyeing a high polish stainless one lately.
I love my P01 Omega... That being said, i will be sending to CGW soon for Pro Carry work. That take up on the trigger is a problem that Doesn't necessarily go away with trigger work. If you are planning on doing some trigger work anyway.... i would go with the standard P01 which has a more workable trigger setup. The Gun is a little bulky for Summer carry. I usually switch to my Shield in .45ACP for summer.
I believe the lower recoil of the CZ's is more so due to the slide being made of less material and thus has less reciprocating mass than other firearms, rather than it sitting "lower" in the frame. I believe the lower slide mass is actually the greater factor although I have not looked into this so I'm not exactly sure.
Absolutely beautiful firearm. I still have not had the opportunity to buy one, but hoping someday to add one to the collection. CZ makes some very high quality guns. Great review, Thanks for showing us your P01 Omega.
Great vid KS I have the O1 and O7 and the rami. And I have a few of the tri- star knock off. All shoot well and I feel that confidence if you have to pull the trigger it goes bang and not click. Glad u made this vid with great subject matter.
I just rented one of these after seeing the video last night. I swear it was reading my mind, meshed real well with me. Shot it as good as my full sized 75B Ω. This wasn't on my radar and now I want one.
The reason the the slide sits in the the receiver like it does. Is because the Chech police and military use fully automatic pistols. It makes the gun shoot tighter when full auto.
Nice review. Love my regular P-01, I liked the trigger pull better than on the Omega version. Funny thing I have the P-09 Urban with the Omega Trigger, I changed it to the safety and the trigger pull seemed a "little better". Love the green trim on the LOK grips.
Thank you Keanon! I do agree that the regular is very smooth and you can do more with it if you choose. I hear that the safety helps with improving the trigger pull rather than the decocker. Cheers brother!
To me, the P01 is the better of the two, but of course it’s one guys opinion. For whatever reason, the reset and break distance on P07s/09s seems to be longer which I’m not a fan of. That said, the P07 is uber popular and many swear by them. Thank you and cheers!
The P-01 is one of the sexiest pistols ever made... Being a lefty, I'm definitely getting an Omega for the "ambi" features. I never knew they bevelled the magwell from the factory, that is sweet! Nice review 👍.
CDon02 not ambi mag release though and saw that turning the mag release around could give problems putting the mag in. I am looking at the rex zero 1 compact as it has ambi mag release
I have this gun and it's absolutely amazing. Out of all my handguns the only one that gives it a run for its money is my Beretta M9A3. Those are the two best shooters in my collection, and the P-01 is concealable.
Nice Steve! CZs continue to impress me and several are in the top 5 of all time on my list. I totally understand about the red dot. Thank you and cheers!
Found a urban grey tactical about a month ago in Kentucky and had to have it. I never shot one prior to owning one and I was very impressed. Best shooting gun I have to date. I’d like to have a black one to carry. So I’m on the hunt 😉
Good review KS. I had a P-01 and I liked everything about the gun except the curved trigger. I ended up trading it and always missed it. I kept looking for the P-01 Omega with the flatter trigger, but at that time i could not find one anywhere. I did buy another P-01 and I put the flatter CZ 85 trigger in it and now I really like the gun. I might be a little bit of a trigger snob.
Thank you Randy! I agree about the curved trigger. I think the Phantom was the only one I found to be fine. I changed the SP01 tactical out for an 85 combat which really helped like you did with yours. As for finding an Omega, they’re out there but I agree that they can be a bit elusive. No shame in being a trigger snob! Cheers brother!
A local gun merchant told me why CZ s come in waves. Apparently, the Czech government has export laws that require CZ to ship a certain minimum numbers of pistols in a batch, so they make them, then store them until they reach the minimum, then ship them all at once. One hopes that the new plant in this country provides a more uniform availability.
The CZ P-01 is, in my humble opinion, the finest made handgun in its class. Lighten the double action trigger and it may be the best all around pistol in the world.
I’ve been on a waiting list for one of these for almost 8 months (with good reason) but I know it’s worth it! Thanks for yet another thorough and in-depth review KS, you don’t ever disappoint 👍🏽
I carried my P-09 as a duty gun for a while, and I thought it was one of the smoothest shooters in 9mm that I’d ever owned. So that’s why I’m picking up a P-07 as well, but I just *love* the P01 for its aesthetics and steel frame. Awesome grips by the way.....almost forgot to mention that! You could call it the “Saint Paddy’s Edition” 😁 My wife’s Irish and she saw the shamrock, so the name is her idea LOL
11 years ago I was a road supervisor for a company that responded to bank alarms, and did armed security for some of the low-income Projects in and around Boston, and I wanted a higher hi-capacity gun than the normal 17+1 most gun manufacturers make their magazines. My two choices at the time were the Springfield XDM (19+1) and the P09 (also 19+1).....CZ for the win! Yeah she’s got a weird sense of humor 😅
Vey Nice Review, Standard P-01 is not my favorite because of the hooked trigger, may have to put an 85 Trigger in it. I bought some 15 rounders with rubber base plates for mine as well. TFS Carry On
Big Johnson/and KSGunGuy you both bring up an excellent question, though, if one wanted a different trigger for an "P-01Omega series" is there an option? (I believe the 85C trigger is not compatible with the Omega's?)
Very informative video. Thanks for taking the time. I won't sell any of my Glocks but may add this CZ P-01 Omega. It really feels good in the hand and it shoot just as well as a glock, sometime better. I am a believer its the indian not the arrow. But, 1st time in my hand some really nice groups at 10 yards. Thanks again!
I bought one after watching this vid and a gunsmith scratched the slide when installing new Dawson sights… I’m still pissed. Word of advice watch out for hack gunsmiths and make sure you show that your firearms is flawless before any work is done. And yes I usually install my own sights but the factory ones were practically immovable and I wrapped the slide in protective tape when I tried to move them myself.
Thanks for the review KS...The P01 Omega is currently available from CGW with their pro grade package. I ordered mine yesterday with the Trijicon night sights😁 I’m all giddy !
No Lie. I am a new shooter. Went to the range with a very good shooter buddy and he was teaching me how to shoot. I bring out my brand new CZ-P01 and from 7 yards I shoot the same hole in center bullseye with 10 plus rounds. My buddy says, "are you sure this is the first time you've shot this?" I say yes....he goes out and buys the same gun. No lie. And I'm a hack.
Nice video KS! I have a plain black P-01 and its .40 S&W bigger brother, the P-06. These are fantastic pistols. The first time I took my P-01 to the range, I hit the steel cowboy at 93 feet all 28 times. So easy to shoot and shoot well.
I love my p01 omegas. I have one standard and the urban that was suppressor ready. i have the CGW kits in both of them and after polishing the parts my DA trigger pull is ~7 lbs.
My favorite to shoot in my collection so far is my Sig SP2022, love the decocker with SA/DA. I carry a Glovk 42 but want something bigger.. I like my P938 but refuse to carry with a safety. I want a CZ as my next firearm. I think this is the perfect storm. My "unicorn" if you will. Now... to find one lol
I wanted this to be my first pistol but could never find one :-( For me it ticks virtually all the boxes of the proverbial “if I could only have one gun...” checklist that’s often thrown around in RUclips land. Another great review... the ☘️ clearly represents being lucky enough to find my fave Cz model.
The one I’ve wanted for years. You said it, there are long stretches where they are unavailable and the budget gets used elsewhere. Like the P10c or P07. Why didn’t CZ design those with the same grip as the 75 series? That elongated grip shape just puts the trigger a touch out of comfortable and solid reach for me. Argh! But, if you’re big enough they do shoot very well.

I have an Omega and like the feel of the straighter trigger. Changed grips to LOK thin checkered and helped with trigger reach, as well as overall fit & feel.
I know Im pretty randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to watch new tv shows online?
@Juan Tobias lately I have been using flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Landon Jay yea, have been watching on Flixzone for since april myself :D
This video inspired me to get a CZ P-01 and make it my EDC. KSGunGuy I miss your gun reviews so much! You were the best gun reviewer on RUclips.
I'm a CZ fanboy for sure....have a 75 compact, a P-01 and an SP-01 Phantom. Love them damn CZ's!!!!!!
Well said! Thank you and cheers!
No shadow2? I’ve owned 6 czs, only two I kept is the s2 and p01
If you had to pick 1 from the p01 and sp01. Which one would you pick?
Easy trick for the takedown: Use the corner of the magazine baseplate to get the takedown pin popped out.
Of course you can always use a tool, but if you don't have one handy, or like me you just want to keep it simple, using the magazine definitely works.
Great video!
Great recommendation! Thank you and cheers!
I believe that recommendation is strait out of the owners manual. My P09 manual recommends it.
Additional tip: Those takedown lines line up perfectly with the hammer at half cock.
As it goes, this is an older video, but it pops up when I want to watch CZ videos. I have the P01 with the U.N. numbers and have had it for about 8 years. Absolutely love this gun and it pretty much is my EDC, appendix carry in a Vedder holster. Early on I had the P06 which was in 40 S&W, equally a great pistol, but when I cut back on all the calibers, I got rid of it. I don’t think they make it anymore.
Anyway, great video!
My CZ PO1 is my favorite shooter. Accurate and smooth at the range. I installed the Cajun spring and trigger kits. Also replaced the rubber grips with similar thinner grips like yours. Definitely a keeper.
I love reading positive comments about this gun. I just ordered the P01 Convertible Omega.
I was soo happy to find that this gun doesn't have jamming issues, it's one of the reasons I got over my 92fs.
The easiest way to improve the SA trigger on a CZ Omega-action is to swap out the decocker for the manual safety. I did this with my P-07, and the SA trigger pull dropped to 3.75 lb.
For great improvement keeping & DA SA see MCARBO Kit & polish
Love CZ handguns, I sold my Glock 19 to buy a CZ PCR! Loved the PCR so much I bought a CZ SP01 Phantom in polymer!
P.S. I purchased a used CZ P07 for a truck gun.
That’s awesome! Thank you and cheers!
@Bernie R. The Phantom is my service pistol.
My first CZ was the 10s followed by the p07 then the pcr and most recently the Rami 2075. Now I want the p01. All bought since July 2020.
I am amazed how long CZ stayed off my attention list. I intend to rectify this in the future. I sure love the 9mm Phantom for sure. This one looks a little more compact.
Hey KS, I bought my first p-01 Omega and was really happy with the trigger. But I had already ordered the full Cajun kit lol. And it made a nice trigger even better. I am amazed at how good the trigger is cajunized. and honestly enjoy the omega more than my old p-01
That's awesome Brian! The CGW kit sounds very cool. I need to do that as well at some point. Thank you and cheers!
Once you own a a CZ everything else is compared to it.
I own P-07 and P-09 and I want more CZ!
I feel the same able CZs. I still have my 75B. Tactical OD green frame. Don't care for the trigger and the sights could be better but it's accurate. Not as good as the sp01 Phantom I traded away. (Idiot).
I went from owning just the P10C, to the P01 Omega, to the P10F in .45 and the CZ EVO Scorpion micro
Yup...
I just found that out a few weeks ago when I picked up a used P07. Now I’m getting a P01! These guns have the best ergonomics and I love the DA/SA system. I carry appendix and the decocker is the absolute best way to avoid decocking yourself.
Just picked one of these up. Traded in a Hellcat OSP, also a reliable quality pistol , that I’ve been carrying daily for a year now. I want to switch to appendix carry and do not feel comfortable carrying a striker fired pistol in that manner. Also I like that you can change the grips on it like a 1911. I ordered a set of the Lok Matrix thin grips in blood red with ivory accents that I think is going to look amazing can’t wait to get them. The only other thing I’ve done is change the guide rod out fo a stainless one.
Give me a p01 over a p10c any day of the week and twice on Sunday. I just like the hammer fired cz’s more than their new striker fired guns. I’ve yet to see a P01 omega in the wild. I love my standard P01. P01 for the win!
Great to see you Railroad! I do agree about the P01 vs P10. Hopefully you’ll see an Omega soon. Thank you and cheers!
Love it. I own one and sent it to CGW to have my Dawson sight installed and their 3 Piece Spring Kit. Made all the difference and it's one of my nicest shooting pieces, next to my Dan Wesson 1911 Eco, and that's saying something! Nice video!!
That sounds like a sweet P01 with the CGW kit! I do agree if it’s being compared to a Dan Wesson, it must be something very special. Thank you and cheers!
I found a new one for 609. Still pretty expensive but worth every penny. Thank you for the review.
609 is superior affordable lol damn your cheaper than mex)
This video motivated me to get a shadow 2 compact. That pistol is special!
Looks so much like the Canik Stingray. I loved that firearm.
I own the P07 and currently looking for a P01. In my opinion it is one elegant firearm.
I 100% agree! Thank you and cheers!
I love my P01's, I think they really did knock it out of the park developing this pistol it seems to fit everyone's hand,everyone loves the feel of it it's easy to carry and does not print much at all, and you can do whatever you want to have them with aftermarket parts
Well said Scott! I agree, they are pretty universal and I haven’t met anyone that hates them. Thank you and cheers!
This is by far one of my favorite guns. Also the grips look really nice good choice
Right on! Thank you very much Jeff. Cheers!
I have one of these. I got a cajun gun works pro package and VZ grips and it is by far the sweetest shooting 9mm I have ever touched!
That’s awesome and I agree! They are fantastic guns. Thank you and cheers!
damn, love the look of that green inner liner. I would personally go with blue or red but either way that looks awesome!
Thank you very much! Cheers!
Very sharp looking pistol. Clean lines, low slide, beautiful finish, great grips. Everything about it says high quality.
Thank you very much Wolfe! I appreciate that. It’s a great gun for sure. Cheers!
I've found the easiest way to push the slid catch out is with a magazine, never marred my gun doing so.
Great review! I'm absolutely a CZ fan. I own a SP 01 Tactical, 75 B Omega, P-07, and a 75 D PCR (ECD). Absolutely no issues with any of them. Looking to purchase the P-01 soon, can't wait.
Thank you very much! CZ definitely makes some amazing guns. I’m with you on that. Cheers!
Seems like few are aware of it's slightly older, lesser known brother -- the P-02. The P-02 only comes with the safety (no decocker) to cocked/locked it the way to go. I find it more compact "in hand" than my 19 probably due to the better ergonomics vs Glock "brick". It "costs" one round down (14 vs 15), willing to do that for the great CZ trigger and internal slide rails.
The P02 sounds pretty awesome! Although I really like the G19, the P01 is definitely something special. Thank you and cheers!
My LGS had three P-01's 5 days ago. I bought his last one 2 days ago. My first CZ. I am already scheming for my next one.
That's awesome! Congrats on the P-01. Thank you and cheers!
I saw a used one in a pawn shop but didnt have the cash. Stopped in a couple times to ogle and fondle. The third time I came to visit she was gone.... I was sad.
Definitely a miss but it happens to us all! Hopefully there will be others for you Bradly. Thank you and cheers!
That's why many places do layaway.
I was lucky enough to find a used one today at my local store. It is on layaway!
Congratulations on that, you Scored!!!
Those grips just make the pistol pop out as nice call on it....Nice review and detailed info again....Good stuff....
Thank you very much Scott! I appreciate it brother. Cheers!
One of the best video reviews on RUclips. Outstanding thanks for the info!
CZ's seem to multiply like rabbits,,,be careful! 😉
P-01 and Lucky Charms....they are magically delicious!!!
Well said! Thank you and cheers!
lol...well said brother!
Very nice. I didn't remember the unusual barrel block below the chamber. Not exactly classic Browning. Have a nice week.
Thank you very much Frank! Yeah, something a little different for sure. Cheers brother!
the p01 double action pull really makes me appreciate the kimber k6s trigger pull.
Great looking pistola KS. I have the original P01 and I love it. I put a tiny scratch around the takedown pin while taking the gun apart using the magazine base plate. It's bugged the heck out of me ever since so good on you for being careful!
I’ve had many of those dings as well my friend. It’s a bummer but sometimes these things happen. Thank you and cheers Micky!
11/2020 i couldnt wait out the pandemic craze and paid $699. i dont mind paying a little more going through local shops, our gun shops near me are family owned and i am proud to support them. shout out MN and the other still “free” states!
Great video. Camera work is professional quality and the lighting is beautiful which makes for a great viewing experience. The icing is this amazing firearm. Love CZ. Thanks, KS.
There is no "notch" on the spring, the "dimple" is on the end of the Guide Rod.
Thanks for a great video, been wanting the P-01 for a while, your video just seals the deal for me.
I hope the P01 Omega drought doesn’t dry up before my permit comes in. It’s my dream pistol. Love the review!
I think they will still be around. Thank you and cheers!
VERY NICE, with all the great looking firearms you're showing me I need a rich relative to pass
Thank you MP! We all need a rich relative or two, lol. They would come in handy. Cheers brother!
Not to brag, but I can push the slide stop out with my right thumb.
This is my favorite comment on the internet
👏
Show off!
Hard flex
Thank you KS for the G19 comparison, exactly what i was curious about! Great video.
Glad you liked it Brian! Thank you as always and cheers brother!
@@KSGunGuy01 One more question KS. Do you have a preferred holster for the P-01? Researching EDC options...
I haven't been able to find one. I ended up with a Canik
120 clone. Ran great with whatever I put through it. But it was no CZ . The inside edges of the slide could slice open a finger.
I have a standard P-01 and love it. I was disappointed a little with how much muzzle flip there is. I really thought the internal rails and the alloy frame (as opposed to polymer) would make it a flatter shooting gun. I did put in a DPM guide rod system that calmed it down a little. It's the most accurate compact pistol I've shot.
That’s awesome! I agree, it can have some muzzle flip but the shooting experience is otherwise fantastic. Thank you and cheers!
Great review of a great gun. I had one a few years ago and foolishly sold it. At the time they were almost impossible to find. I got a lot more than I paid for it. I’ve been eyeing a high polish stainless one lately.
It’s rough when we regret a sale brother. Been there many times myself. Those polished ones look pretty sweet. Thank you and cheers Knuckles!
I love my P01 Omega... That being said, i will be sending to CGW soon for Pro Carry work. That take up on the trigger is a problem that Doesn't necessarily go away with trigger work. If you are planning on doing some trigger work anyway.... i would go with the standard P01 which has a more workable trigger setup. The Gun is a little bulky for Summer carry. I usually switch to my Shield in .45ACP for summer.
I agree with the regular P01 for trigger work. Thank you and cheers!
That is a very spiffy firearm. I really dig that Monster green myself, goes great w/black. VOTE RED!
Thank you! The green definitely pops. Cheers!
I believe the lower recoil of the CZ's is more so due to the slide being made of less material and thus has less reciprocating mass than other firearms, rather than it sitting "lower" in the frame. I believe the lower slide mass is actually the greater factor although I have not looked into this so I'm not exactly sure.
Nice grips that looks good. I ordered a set of OD green for mine. Lok makes good stuff.
Love my SP-01 Tactical with the tritium night sights if SHTF that's the one I grab!
The SP01 is another favorite of mine. They are sweet shooters for sure. Thank you and cheers!
Chris Kellas same here
Absolutely beautiful firearm. I still have not had the opportunity to buy one, but hoping someday to add one to the collection.
CZ makes some very high quality guns. Great review, Thanks for showing us your P01 Omega.
Thank you James! Hopefully you can find one soon. They are out there. I do agree about CZ. They continue to impress. Cheers brother!
Just dropping in to say we miss you KS!
Great vid KS I have the O1 and O7 and the rami. And I have a few of the tri- star knock off. All shoot well and I feel that confidence if you have to pull the trigger it goes bang and not click. Glad u made this vid with great subject matter.
Right on Eric! CZ definitely puts out some great guns. At some point, I need to try the rami. Thank you and cheers!
I just rented one of these after seeing the video last night. I swear it was reading my mind, meshed real well with me. Shot it as good as my full sized 75B Ω. This wasn't on my radar and now I want one.
That's awesome Epic! They really are fantastic guns. Thank you and cheers!
The reason the the slide sits in the the receiver like it does. Is because the Chech police and military use fully automatic pistols. It makes the gun shoot tighter when full auto.
Fun fact.... CZ mags work in (IWI. IMI, Magnum Research) Jericho 941/Baby Eagle guns, and vice-versa.
That’s true! Thank you for sharing and cheers!
Nice review. Love my regular P-01, I liked the trigger pull better than on the Omega version. Funny thing I have the P-09 Urban with the Omega Trigger, I changed it to the safety and the trigger pull seemed a "little better". Love the green trim on the LOK grips.
Thank you Keanon! I do agree that the regular is very smooth and you can do more with it if you choose. I hear that the safety helps with improving the trigger pull rather than the decocker. Cheers brother!
Love the CZ. Need to get my hands on the P-01 Omega soon. If it's anything like my P-07 it'll be a gun I keep for a while for sure.
To me, the P01 is the better of the two, but of course it’s one guys opinion. For whatever reason, the reset and break distance on P07s/09s seems to be longer which I’m not a fan of. That said, the P07 is uber popular and many swear by them. Thank you and cheers!
@@KSGunGuy01 that is definitely one draw back of the P-07. When i used it for competition i'd get hung up on the reset of the trigger.
I just bought my first gun and is this one. I am actually going to pick it up right now!
The P-01 is one of the sexiest pistols ever made... Being a lefty, I'm definitely getting an Omega for the "ambi" features. I never knew they bevelled the magwell from the factory, that is sweet! Nice review 👍.
Well said! Thank you and cheers!
CDon02 not ambi mag release though and saw that turning the mag release around could give problems putting the mag in. I am looking at the rex zero 1 compact as it has ambi mag release
In 2021 these bad boys are going for $650-$700.
I still bought one last week. Merry Christmas to me
I have this gun and it's absolutely amazing. Out of all my handguns the only one that gives it a run for its money is my Beretta M9A3. Those are the two best shooters in my collection, and the P-01 is concealable.
That's awesome! Great guns for sure. Thank you and cheers!
Just picked up the P-01 Omega today.
EXCELLENT choice!!!!
I miss watching your videos always good information. Are you still making new videos?
I have had a CZ-75 for years. Love it . Traded the P320RX for a S&W MP Sport 2. 556. Didn't like the red dot.
Nice Steve! CZs continue to impress me and several are in the top 5 of all time on my list. I totally understand about the red dot. Thank you and cheers!
Love them. Just bought one! Stoked AF!🏆
I don't know much about the CZ pistols, but I've always been interested. Thank you for an interesting review.
They are well worth checking out! Thank you and cheers!
Just picked one of these up today...thing looks awesome. Next up is custom Lok grips!
Those lok grips look amazing!👍
Found a urban grey tactical about a month ago in Kentucky and had to have it. I never shot one prior to owning one and I was very impressed. Best shooting gun I have to date. I’d like to have a black one to carry. So I’m on the hunt 😉
ZeroFourTwentyFive check on grab a gun website
The tactical model is fantastic. Glad you like it! Thank you and cheers!
Good review KS. I had a P-01 and I liked everything about the gun except the curved trigger. I ended up trading it and always missed it. I kept looking for the P-01 Omega with the flatter trigger, but at that time i could not find one anywhere. I did buy another P-01 and I put the flatter CZ 85 trigger in it and now I really like the gun. I might be a little bit of a trigger snob.
Thank you Randy! I agree about the curved trigger. I think the Phantom was the only one I found to be fine. I changed the SP01 tactical out for an 85 combat which really helped like you did with yours. As for finding an Omega, they’re out there but I agree that they can be a bit elusive. No shame in being a trigger snob! Cheers brother!
Great video,i own a Vz 75 P01,ihave a P01 cz 75 on hold can you please tell me the pro &cons for both guns.
Thank you great job

A local gun merchant told me why CZ s come in waves. Apparently, the Czech government has export laws that require CZ to ship a certain minimum numbers of pistols in a batch, so they make them, then store them until they reach the minimum, then ship them all at once. One hopes that the new plant in this country provides a more uniform availability.
The CZ P-01 is, in my humble opinion, the finest made handgun in its class. Lighten the double action trigger and it may be the best all around pistol in the world.
I'm inclined to agree with you Mark! Thank you and cheers!
That's a badass looking pistol, I would add a threaded barrel, a custom compensator and a weapon light, it would be like a Roland Special.
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
I’ve been on a waiting list for one of these for almost 8 months (with good reason) but I know it’s worth it! Thanks for yet another thorough and in-depth review KS, you don’t ever disappoint 👍🏽
Definitely worth the wait brother! Hopefully you’ll get it soon. Thank you and cheers!
I carried my P-09 as a duty gun for a while, and I thought it was one of the smoothest shooters in 9mm that I’d ever owned. So that’s why I’m picking up a P-07 as well, but I just *love* the P01 for its aesthetics and steel frame. Awesome grips by the way.....almost forgot to mention that! You could call it the “Saint Paddy’s Edition” 😁 My wife’s Irish and she saw the shamrock, so the name is her idea LOL
That’s awesome that you carried a P09! You don’t see that often. Thank you for the great name.... I think it’s a perfect fit.
11 years ago I was a road supervisor for a company that responded to bank alarms, and did armed security for some of the low-income Projects in and around Boston, and I wanted a higher hi-capacity gun than the normal 17+1 most gun manufacturers make their magazines. My two choices at the time were the Springfield XDM (19+1) and the P09 (also 19+1).....CZ for the win! Yeah she’s got a weird sense of humor 😅
That’s awesome!
I just got a non-omega P-01 for 600 flat used. It's coming in on Monday, hoping it performs!
Shot one first time out on the range today awesome shooter.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
The famous 3 stage cz trigger 😂. Once you get used to it it’s great but it is an art onto it’s self.
Well said! Thank you and cheers!
Vey Nice Review, Standard P-01 is not my favorite because of the hooked trigger, may have to put an 85 Trigger in it. I bought some 15 rounders with rubber base plates for mine as well. TFS Carry On
Thanks Big J! The 85 combat will really dial it in. Cheers brother!
Big Johnson/and KSGunGuy you both bring up an excellent question, though, if one wanted a different trigger for an "P-01Omega series" is there an option? (I believe the 85C trigger is not compatible with the Omega's?)
You would need to go with the standard P01 to do major trigger work. The Omega is as it is I believe.
Very informative video. Thanks for taking the time. I won't sell any of my Glocks but may add this CZ P-01 Omega. It really feels good in the hand and it shoot just as well as a glock, sometime better. I am a believer its the indian not the arrow. But, 1st time in my hand some really nice groups at 10 yards. Thanks again!
It's definitely a fantastic gun. I think you'd really enjoy it. Thank you and cheers!
This will be my first cz I purchase any maybe my last. I only buy glock sig and hk but this gun is just beautiful
just bought this, thanks for the review!
You certainly can use a special tool to take gun apart but you don’t really need one as you can use the edge of the magazine to punch the pin out.
I bought one after watching this vid and a gunsmith scratched the slide when installing new Dawson sights… I’m still pissed. Word of advice watch out for hack gunsmiths and make sure you show that your firearms is flawless before any work is done.
And yes I usually install my own sights but the factory ones were practically immovable and I wrapped the slide in protective tape when I tried to move them myself.
Great gun. Nice grips. Big fan of Lok Grips. All my CZ's wear them.
They make amazing grips indeed! Thank you and cheers!
Thanks for the review KS...The P01 Omega is currently available from CGW with their pro grade package. I ordered mine yesterday with the Trijicon night sights😁 I’m all giddy !
I saw those! I am so jealous of you right now. Keep me posted on what you think. Thank you and cheers!
KSGunGuy will do KS. Love your videos
Much appreciated brother!
I love that gun and the rail is more my type than the picintiny rails on most pistols
No Lie. I am a new shooter. Went to the range with a very good shooter buddy and he was teaching me how to shoot. I bring out my brand new CZ-P01 and from 7 yards I shoot the same hole in center bullseye with 10 plus rounds. My buddy says, "are you sure this is the first time you've shot this?" I say yes....he goes out and buys the same gun. No lie. And I'm a hack.
Nice video KS! I have a plain black P-01 and its .40 S&W bigger brother, the P-06. These are fantastic pistols. The first time I took my P-01 to the range, I hit the steel cowboy at 93 feet all 28 times. So easy to shoot and shoot well.
Thank you SPPG! They really are fantastic guns. Glad you like yours! Cheers brother!
You can use the corner of your magazine baseplate to pop out the slidelock
I love my p01 omegas. I have one standard and the urban that was suppressor ready. i have the CGW kits in both of them and after polishing the parts my DA trigger pull is ~7 lbs.
That's awesome! Thank you and cheers!
Was the CGW Kit worth it? I am considering having the CGW kit installed on mine and getting the slide milled. Thanks
I'm considering getting this for my first gun.
Did you end up getting it or you aren’t of age yet
You can't go wrong.
Great gun. I just picked one up yesterday.
My favorite to shoot in my collection so far is my Sig SP2022, love the decocker with SA/DA. I carry a Glovk 42 but want something bigger.. I like my P938 but refuse to carry with a safety. I want a CZ as my next firearm. I think this is the perfect storm. My "unicorn" if you will. Now... to find one lol
The P938 is a killer gun, I love the trigger and the ergos.
@@joshuasterling2144 wanna trade for your P-01? 😂
I went and got the Tristar P-100 a clone to the P-01 and it's outstanding.
That's awesome! Thank you and cheers!
Do you conceal carry it? If so how is it in terms on comfort?
Good Job KS dude!
That’s one nice gun!
Thank you very much! Cheers Kelly!
I also like green and the P-01 so I got one finished in green instead of black.
Those are awesome looking! Thank you and cheers!
I wanted this to be my first pistol but could never find one :-(
For me it ticks virtually all the boxes of the proverbial “if I could only have one gun...” checklist that’s often thrown around in RUclips land. Another great review... the ☘️ clearly represents being lucky enough to find my fave Cz model.
Thank you very much and I hope you come upon one soon! They are worth the wait. Cheers!
order online you can just about always find one there. have it shipped to you local dealer
