I have had the SP01 TACTICAL IN 9MM for several years and also own the 75D Compact PCR. Both excellent highly dependable firearms AND highly accurate! The SP 01 Tactical is THE REAL DEAL
Over 8 thousand rounds of the cheapest ammo I can run (Monarch 115 grain 9MM from Academy) and I have never had but a hand full of malfunctions. All ammo related. Monarch is Russian made and have hard primers. I can almost be certain it is the ammo and not the gun. CZ is flawless. It was designed and tested for the Military.
U should cast and reload. Then u can totally control the quality for the same price or cheaper . Surplus powder is available and small primers are easy to come by right now . About 16c a rd right now. Maby 14 depends on your lead and powder choices
It's definitely the mag. I had the same exact problem after buying two additional 18 rd mags from CZ. I identified the one with the hang up, returned it for a swap out. No problems!
I absolutely love my sp01 tacticool. Mine has had zero malfunctions even with WWB. Although, aside from my baby eagle, none of my other 9mms like WWB. If I'm testing reliable function, I will try cheap reloads and WWB to get them to fail. Once broken in, that cz will chew through anything. Much love y'all!
shells in truck, good way to save them for reloading. Love CZ, specially all steel ones. p.s. old man here I like the safety over the decocker. Over all nice video. thank you. the Win. White Box, I have had troubles with also.
not having a saftey is one less thing to fumble with during a home defense situation, where that one second difference could effect your chances of survival. just my opinion
I think it's the ammo. I have an SP-01 too and have had similar malfunctions with WWB. The SP-01 has the restrike capability with the double action that might have been useful on the second malfunction (light primer strike). The first one didn't let the pistol go fully into battery, so the restrike was not even possible. Still another great video!
Watching this video made me confirmed it was the Winchester ammo that caused a no discharge on my Beretta 92fs. I also thought it was the magazine. Thank you.
Got my first cz today! SP-01 with thumb safety. put 350 rds through it with no malfunctions! Good ergonomics, low recoil, and pretty accurate! happy so far.
My Sp-01 eats whatever ammo I run through it, including hollow points, steel and aluminum case. Don't run WWB very often. Maybe its the ammo, maybe the mag.
I don't know if you planned it, but the way the camera lined up showed the horizontal eave of the shed just above the horizontal top of the pistol, and that made it easy to see just how little muzzle flip it has.
Just bought this gun the other day, haven’t fired it yet... got some Harnady Critical Defense for my carry mag and the other two are filled with S&B hollow points. $139.00 for 125 rounds of 9mm! I’m a custom holster maker so I’m gonna make a standard OWB right hip holster and an appendix holster for when I don’t want to wear long shirts... the slide is longer than my other compact guns. I have been carrying some high end compacts and polymer framed guns (Kimber EDC & Walther PPQ M2) for a few years and the Kimber simply isn’t reliable and the Walther is super sweet, but the muzzle flip makes it hard to get back on target. My thinking is the CZ will solve these problems for me and I will just have to deal with the extra 12 to 15 ounces of weight to get a reliable, straight shooter. The fact that it came with 3 18 round mags is a plus. I’ll also make a double mag carrier so with 1 in the chamber that gives me 55 rounds to get out of any BLM or Antifa clowns that want to introduce me to their special brand of “Socialism” lol. Let’s hope the price of ammo comes down once we introduce these Democraps to President Trumps second term. God Bless The United States of America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
A friend of mine just got a CZ 75 SP-01 tactical Cajunized. It handles most factory/range ammo fine, but Hornady Critical Duty 135 gr FlexLock jammed up the slide ... didn't go into battery and had to hold the frame in one hand and strike the rear of the grip with the palm of his other hand to clear it. (Same problem as with the WWB in this video.) He said that the Hornady passed the plunk test, but the gun seems to have something against Hornady Critical Duty. How did the Hornady Critical Defense go? Did you try any other defensive ammo?
Same exact thing happened with my first few mags in my Urban Gray CZ 75 B with WWB. Locked up so bad my LGS had to beat it off the counter in the store to free it up. Tested it, said it was the ammo. Not a single issue with the gun ever since.
I love my SP-01 Tat, although it's still pretty new to me, it is by far my most favorite handgun. I have shot a few hundred rounds trying different ammo types and brands and so far have had no malfunctions... never used Winchester white box, and never will.
Winchester rides again - just sayin'. I replace the magazine springs with the stronger ones (as per CZ Custom advice) and I put thin aluminum grips on mine and it is super sweet. I have a Crossbreed IWB and it rides snug and smooth. Absolutely love this pistol :)
Hey Nolan I almost exclusively shoot 9mm handguns anymore, with that said I was buying the Winchester 124 grain NATO stuff from my LGS for a while then switched to CCI blazer brass 124s, with many other brands in between. All shot fine but were horribly dirty. About a year ago I got on the Freedom Munition band wagon and I really like what they have to offer. I order in bulk so that’s a plus and I’ve had great luck with their 124 grain new and reman, 135 grain extreme hollow point target, and my favorite is the 147 grain new or reman. My CZ’s, Glock’s, and Sig’s love it, AR 9mm pistol too. I encourage you to try Freedom Munition. At checkout use the code “MAC” for 6% off your order, you can thank @MilitaryArmsChannel for that. Nice video as always brother!
Rick Anderson with the few cent difference I can get 50-100 more rounds of the reman when ordering in bulk compared to what I’d pay for new. I shoot 2-3 nights a week and haven’t had one hiccup with any of the thousands of reman/reloads from Freedom.
Kyle G , me too. Freedom Munitions 124 shoots like a laser in my CZ and Canik pistols. The 115 gr does the same in my Glock. Will have to try the 147 gr.
I own one of these in Urban Grey with the suppressor-ready barrel. Shoots like a dream, but it hates the WWB. It is the only ammo I consistently get failures to feed with.
Winchester white box is known for light loads. I just bought the new omega and ran a 100 rounds of umc Remington with some reloads i did with no issues!
Federal American Eagle is usually my range ammo of choice. It's cheap but it seems cleaner than Winchester White Box (I've actually _seen_ the flash behind my hammer with Winchester 😬).
Thanks for the video, Nolan. Don’t sweat it, I’d have to agree that it’s the WWB. My Experience with Winchester has always been good, the White box, not so much. Always enjoy your videos.
I have a Sphinx CDP Duty that will do that with 147gr. ammo. I have also seen it with a VP9. Some searches found that some Euro guns have tight chambers and will jam like this. Not sure why it would with 115. I have an SP-01 Tactical and have had zero issues. It is my current HD gun...and possibly my best shooting pistol. I love my CZ's...SP-01, PCR, P07 and a RAMI.
I had my SP 01 Tactical last week and used Winchester white box 115 grain. Out of 84 rounds i had 4 malfuntions similar with this video. I had hard time in slider in the 4th malfunction, so tight and i was able to clear it the following day. I cleaned it and went back and shot 3 diffrent ammo brand (S&B, Remington -both 115 grain...and Blazer -124 grain, 50 round each). NO malfuntions at all. I decided to use the remaining 16 round of Winchester white box...i had malfunction on the 15th round, same issue, failure to chamber/jammed/whatever you call it. Contacted CZ-USA and i was told to send it back to them to check and will try the Winchester. Hopefully they will fix the issue because CZ-75 SP01 Tactical is the smoothest pistol i ever try.
I run exclusively s&b ammo. Before the craziness I was getting 1k fmj for $169 and 1k JHP for $240 from lucky gunner. It's always been 100% reliable and consistent. You should give them a try man. Even my tight spring guns function fine with it. Great review
I love Cz’s but at the same time I will fully disclose anything about any gun that’s not good. I’ve seen a few problems with sp01’s over on gun forums and a RUclipsr Connor over at Guns & Stuff finally ditched his sp01 for problems that would not go away and bad customer service from CZ. I’ve had great luck with CZ guns but apparently even they let some lemons out the factory sometimes. Run it hard and see does it get any better, but I wouldn’t be willing to say it’s definitely ammo related just yet. I’ve been thinking about getting a sp01 phantom to carry this winter
I've shot my buddy's SP-01 and liked it, but also heard the same things from more than a few people online. I have personal experience with CZ type guns FTEing and I'm not alone. I'll check out Connor's videos, thank you.
@@lon242 Don't get an SP-01, get the newer P-07 or P-09. The new ones lock up differently and fixed basically all the problems left on the old designs.
never used white box, but i have used their 9mm nato and never had issues. however anything aluminum cased tends to cause issues due to the case being to soft.
Update on my previous comments 4 and 6 months ago: Since i got it back from CZ-USA (they polished the feeding ramp) because of the same issue like on this video i never had any issue/problem at all. I used the questioned ammo (Winchester white box 115 gr) without any malfunction. I tried Tulammo 115 gr steel-case and no issue. I also tried 50 rounds of hollow point and any brand will fire smoothly. To date, i shot 1,200 rounds. This pistol is one of my home defense firearms now and very confident of it.
Great stuff Nolan! I have terrible luck with WWB so much so that I no longer use it at all. The quality control is terrible! I think you’re going to love the SP01. It’s a great shooter!
WWB runs poorly in many guns. Hard primers are the most common complaint but loose tolerances on brass size and seating depth happen frequently, too. CZ’s tend to run their cambers a little tight, too which is part of the reason they have such great accuracy.
I’m pretty damn sure it’s ammo. Winchester White Box can be two things. It can be relatively decent and reliable, and sometimes can be total schitt. It cannot be magazines since CZ mags just don’t fail like that, so WWB is probably the reason for that weird malfunction or two.
If the round made its way into the chamber, it's not the magazine's fault if the round didn't fire when the primer was hit. I've had the same issue several times over with Winchester White Box in 9mm.
I might become a CZ hipster in the near future. I held a 75 BD at a gun show a while back and the price was so good, if I see it again, I might have to get it. Ugh... Being broke sucks.
I’ve shot maybe 1,000-1,200 rounds of the same Winchester white box without any issues. I’ve shot them in my Beretta PX4 Storm as well as my Springfield XD9 without any issues.
Must be nice to prefer and get whatever gun you want. Here in California we can only get the safety version of the SP-01 because it was already legal when our stupid handgun roster came out. We are stuck to what’s only on the the roster. From what I can tell we never get the newer stuff unless it meets our ridiculous laws. We are so limited here. Can’t wait to move out of California.
A little constructive advice. Better to sling shot the slide stop when chambering a round, rather then releasing the slide stop (it's not a slide release) forward. The sear takes a severe pounding which will lead to bigger problems down the road. I found out the hard way. Enough side. Awesome shooting. I could hear the steel ring from two rooms away!
Sling shot release of the slide can result in slam fires. The slide stop is aptly named as it stops the slide and locks it to the rear on the final round, but it is also used to release the slide from that position. The sear on the SP-01 has nothing to do with the slide stop being released, and during the firing cycle is experiencing a far more violent movement than simply releasing the slide from the stop. Perhaps you had other issues with your firearm that were incorrectly diagnosed?
@@prairiehawkaerialimagery2443 Just how the hell would a gun with a firing pin block safety slam fire? Especially from slingshotting the slide to load it but not from the slide actually cycling at super speed?
Rocketman9mm the slide stop is positioned by the manufacturer to release the slide from a captive position where all forces are optimum to chamber a round from stop. Slingshot adds extra force because of the added travel. This is from manufacturers and NRA instructors, not my opinion. Also, while firing pin blocks are great and all, they are still a mechanical device that can fail at any point for a multitude of reasons. I’m not telling you that you must do this or your weapon will explode in your hand. It’s safe and prudent weapon handling. Do what you like and shoot safe.
I have had several times with a round of WWB where the case was not sized properly and it did the same on an M&P and P320. I reload so I tried to put these rounds through my chamber gauge and they would not go....
100% ammo related. I've seen numerous different types of pistols jam up out of battery to the point you have to grab the slide and judo chop the grip to get it out like that and every time it's the round that is out of spec. The misfire may just be a dud round. Did you try to shoot that one round again? I know one upgrade Cajun gun works does is put an extended firing pin in the gun for more reliable ignition specifically because some cheap ass ammo can have hard primers.
I happens in brand new cz because chamber is too tight and some Cooper in ring shapes is deposited gradually while shooting and this problem is solved after shooting 100 hundred rounds with it.
Winchester white box is the shittiest ammo on the market. Iv had several cases literally disintegrate in the chamber. Luckily didn't ruin my firearms. Use anything else and u'll be happy
@@jOhNDoE-rz4kr true but only if the cartridge is to factory spec. a shit round that gets through the quality control in factory will malfunction in ANY gun, an Winchester white box has no quality control lol. ive gotten .223 rounds, rounds with no gunpowder, and just cartridge components in the 9mm box. shit ive gotten rounds with the primers in backwards from a box of Speer Gold Dots, an excellent ammo with HIGH quality standards. i shoot on my own property and reload an got seriously like 10,000 fired through my SP01 and not one malfunction ever (except from some low powered rounds i was experimenting with while reloading)
Dumb Idiot No doubt. Thats also the main thing, cheap rounds such as steel will inherently have a few hickups every few hundred or so. im talking about a weapon that consistently fails to run this ammo should be tossed out of service and to the operation table to figure what the fuck is up.
Handloaders will understand exactly what happened cz barrels are tight and not forgiving to longer rounds the 9mm headspaces off case mouth so a locked slide out of battery is excessive headspace for that barrel
I had a bad mag from the factory with my sp01 tactical, don't know the cause but any malfunction out of 5 mags (3 purchased elsewhere) was the same mag, other then that flawless
Welp I was looking up reviews on this gun thinking about purchasing one but not now lol. My glocks have never had a problem with this or any other Ammo lol. Not one single malfunction in 20 years of shooting glocks… I’ll stick with Glock, sig, HK lol dammit. I really wanted this gun lol
I’ve certainly had problems with Glock. It’s a new gun I’d assume the chamber had some burrs and sharp edges. I’ve got a Glock with a lonewolf barrel that has tight chamber the rifling sticks in the projectiles and is sticky. Slide sticks all the time and when dirty hangs up chambering. It also hung and jammed because the extractor dug into the rim and it would load but I beveled it with a dremel. Don’t kid yourself all guns can have issues especially running various ammo. I had glocks blow the magazine out. They don’t have a fully supported chamber. And the trigger is mushy. But their ok . Not a nice cz or a beretta to each their own.
I think the malfunction was ammo related, ive had soo many failure to fires running reduced power springs in my glocks to the point i stay away from Winchester. I stick with Remington and never have problems.
is it just me or at 3:12 if you look at the front of the ejection port. is there something hanging out? but id say its either light hammer spring or hard primers on WWB. i dont own this pistol but i have a shadow and it has a light hammer spring.
My SP-01 tactical has been fussy at times also with failures to feed and eject in particular. I haven't been able to pin down the cause but it runs great most of the time and it's certainly one of my favorites. The gun just feels great in hand and hits what you're aiming at.
Does anyone know whether or not the CZ 75 SP-01 has what is considered a "match" (tight) chamber? If it does, this might explain the failure to go into battery with a cartridge that was a little larger than specifications and could be one of the reasons that the CZ 75 series of pistols shoot so well...?
I've had same experience on my CZ p09.. they have short chambers. If any reloads are alittle long or wide THEY WILL NOT CHAMBER & or go in battery. I believe that's y they shoot so good. Powder coated bullets I've reloading are the biggest problem. Most work & then you'll get a few that don't..really pisses you off. Buddy of mine had same problem n Glocks. I believe it's bad bullets/out of spec. But I'll never get rid of my CZs. I've got 3.. CZ craze. Nice video
Sand-Paper-Pistol-Grips my SP-01 has never had any problems, I'd be willing to bet the one round was out of spec and the other had a bad primer. About all I shoot is "cheap" ammo for practice, save the good stuff for "important" work (self defense and the few competitions I've done), and the only issue I've had in 5k+ is a hard primer that went off with a 2nd hammer strike. I think the accuracy CZ'S have is more to do with the full length rails and how the barrel locks up with the slide as opposed to a tight chamber.
I shoot nothing but Winchester white box and have no issues with it. From what you have shown it is the gun not the ammo. CZ sp 01 is known for not going into complete battery.
Great gun and video... this happened to one of my pistols after about 30 rounds, we had to push the slide back against a wood block for the ejection... it never happened afterwards. It was some range reloaded ammo, We assumed it was breaking in being i shot two boxes of the same ammo without any problems afterwards
Judging from the comments everyone else has had a negative experience with WWB. You need to stop doing videos and this gun! You're making me want a full sized CZ that no one will buy concealment holsters for! haha
The mags that come with CZ are a pos. I had to buy new mags (they were different mags) and everything went perfect. Although with the stock mags I never had a malfunction like yours in the video I did have issues with the stock mags not pushing the slide release far enough to catch it on the last round and it felt like i was shooting an AK-75SP01 lol
Hmm... I know tbe SP01 has a good rep but I've seen more than a few of them with issues. They're not thr same gun, but I had an Israeli Jericho that just wouldn't stop FTEing. You can maybe chalk it up to WWB, but do you think your M9 or Glock would've ran those rounds perfectly? I'd count on it.
I'm not sure about that. WWB is kinda wimpy but it's not the worst, Winchester steel case is even worse. And a hard lock up like that, I dunno. I hope it works out for Nolan.
Yeah, I've had M9's, G19's and G17's that would lock up with WWB. I have run just about every ammunition through my SP-01's including hand loads and the only failures were with WWB. Over 2000 rounds fired with just those malfunctions.
This is my favorite 9 of all time. A dream to shoot.
Hope all is well. Lost track. Haven’t been around much for three or so years. Glad to see one of your videos (even if from the good old days) pop up.

Nice video. From a fellow Hoosier and cz fan boy
Update on my previous comments 4 and 6 months ago: Since i got it back from CZ-USA (they polished the feeding ramp) because of the same issue like on this video i never had any issue/problem at all. I used the questioned ammo (Winchester white box 115 gr) without any malfunction. I tried Tulammo 115 gr steel-case and no issue. I also tried 50 rounds of hollow point and any brand will fire smoothly. To date, i shot 1,200 rounds. This pistol is one of my home defense firearms now and very confident of it.
I love mine! No other gun has felt better in my hands!
Great stuff Nolan! I have terrible luck with WWB so much so that I no longer use it at all. The quality control is terrible! I think you’re going to love the SP01. It’s a great shooter!
KSGunGuy I agree KS, use to buy it all the time cause it was cheap....now I dont ever buy it.
You had one more malfunction /jam in first five minutes with the CZ than I've had in decades shooting my Beretta M9
I like my SP-01 Tactical, nice size, small for me.. light weight... IT"S A WINNER!!
WWB runs poorly in many guns. Hard primers are the most common complaint but loose tolerances on brass size and seating depth happen frequently, too. CZ’s tend to run their cambers a little tight, too which is part of the reason they have such great accuracy.
I’m pretty damn sure it’s ammo. Winchester White Box can be two things. It can be relatively decent and reliable, and sometimes can be total schitt. It cannot be magazines since CZ mags just don’t fail like that, so WWB is probably the reason for that weird malfunction or two.
If the round made its way into the chamber, it's not the magazine's fault if the round didn't fire when the primer was hit. I've had the same issue several times over with Winchester White Box in 9mm.
Yep
Agreed except that primer strike seemed light. Also when you get a new gun clean that grease out of them. Great video.
I might become a CZ hipster in the near future. I held a 75 BD at a gun show a while back and the price was so good, if I see it again, I might have to get it. Ugh... Being broke sucks.
I’ve shot maybe 1,000-1,200 rounds of the same Winchester white box without any issues. I’ve shot them in my Beretta PX4 Storm as well as my Springfield XD9 without any issues.
I'm looking for a used one but they are not easy to find. Awesome video as always!
Thanks Brother
Sub’d after you said “Make best with what we got”. Rock on boss👍🏼
That's weird I've never had issues with WWB and I've shot thousands of rounds of it
consider yourself lucky lol, WWB has terrible quality control. when its good its good but sometimes you get a box full of powder and brass casings lol
Shades where did you buy or what brand & model are they?
If you get a click and no bag, does it not go back to double action and if yes couldn’t you just pull the trigger again like a double action revolver.
Sweet toy Nolan!!! Stay away from the white box.... Try some Remington UMC.... All of my 9mm eat that stuff with no complications
I had a locked gun also, and it happened at the last shot in a clip, just like yours.
Must be nice to prefer and get whatever gun you want. Here in California we can only get the safety version of the SP-01 because it was already legal when our stupid handgun roster came out. We are stuck to what’s only on the the roster. From what I can tell we never get the newer stuff unless it meets our ridiculous laws. We are so limited here. Can’t wait to move out of California.

Even with that malfunction. Strange. You can send me yours an see if it's just your luck 😜🤓
must be a dud SP01, ive had mine for years and not a single malfunction ever. still my favorite handgun.
A little constructive advice. Better to sling shot the slide stop when chambering a round, rather then releasing the slide stop (it's not a slide release) forward. The sear takes a severe pounding which will lead to bigger problems down the road. I found out the hard way. Enough side. Awesome shooting. I could hear the steel ring from two rooms away!
Sling shot release of the slide can result in slam fires. The slide stop is aptly named as it stops the slide and locks it to the rear on the final round, but it is also used to release the slide from that position. The sear on the SP-01 has nothing to do with the slide stop being released, and during the firing cycle is experiencing a far more violent movement than simply releasing the slide from the stop. Perhaps you had other issues with your firearm that were incorrectly diagnosed?
@@prairiehawkaerialimagery2443 Just how the hell would a gun with a firing pin block safety slam fire? Especially from slingshotting the slide to load it but not from the slide actually cycling at super speed?
Rocketman9mm the slide stop is positioned by the manufacturer to release the slide from a captive position where all forces are optimum to chamber a round from stop. Slingshot adds extra force because of the added travel. This is from manufacturers and NRA instructors, not my opinion. Also, while firing pin blocks are great and all, they are still a mechanical device that can fail at any point for a multitude of reasons. I’m not telling you that you must do this or your weapon will explode in your hand. It’s safe and prudent weapon handling. Do what you like and shoot safe.
I have had several times with a round of WWB where the case was not sized properly and it did the same on an M&P and P320. I reload so I tried to put these rounds through my chamber gauge and they would not go....
I own one like that..the best!
Just got a cz. It’s just a pleasure to shoot.
I just bought a CZ SP 01 Tactical, still waiting to shoot it. Any idea where I can get a decent price on mags?
100% ammo related. I've seen numerous different types of pistols jam up out of battery to the point you have to grab the slide and judo chop the grip to get it out like that and every time it's the round that is out of spec. The misfire may just be a dud round. Did you try to shoot that one round again? I know one upgrade Cajun gun works does is put an extended firing pin in the gun for more reliable ignition specifically because some cheap ass ammo can have hard primers.
I still need one of these for my #czechawesomeness collection. Decocker for the win. 😉
I happens in brand new cz because chamber is too tight and some Cooper in ring shapes is deposited gradually while shooting and this problem is solved after shooting 100 hundred rounds with it.
shot a box of Winchester white box Saturday and had NO FTF's
I have had major sizing issues with Winchester White box
Winchester white box is the shittiest ammo on the market. Iv had several cases literally disintegrate in the chamber. Luckily didn't ruin my firearms. Use anything else and u'll be happy
I stopped using Winchester white box years ago and haven't had any problems since. I use Federal, Fiocchi, and Speer and never have any issues.
If a duty style pistol cant chew through steel or white box. Throw it away.
@@jOhNDoE-rz4kr true but only if the cartridge is to factory spec. a shit round that gets through the quality control in factory will malfunction in ANY gun, an Winchester white box has no quality control lol. ive gotten .223 rounds, rounds with no gunpowder, and just cartridge components in the 9mm box. shit ive gotten rounds with the primers in backwards from a box of Speer Gold Dots, an excellent ammo with HIGH quality standards. i shoot on my own property and reload an got seriously like 10,000 fired through my SP01 and not one malfunction ever (except from some low powered rounds i was experimenting with while reloading)
Dumb Idiot No doubt. Thats also the main thing, cheap rounds such as steel will inherently have a few hickups every few hundred or so. im talking about a weapon that consistently fails to run this ammo should be tossed out of service and to the operation table to figure what the fuck is up.
I’ve had good luck with WWB but had a few Tulammo rounds that the case was too long and would not go into battery
Handloaders will understand exactly what happened cz barrels are tight and not forgiving to longer rounds the 9mm headspaces off case mouth so a locked slide out of battery is excessive headspace for that barrel
I had a bad mag from the factory with my sp01 tactical, don't know the cause but any malfunction out of 5 mags (3 purchased elsewhere) was the same mag, other then that flawless
Welp I was looking up reviews on this gun thinking about purchasing one but not now lol. My glocks have never had a problem with this or any other Ammo lol. Not one single malfunction in 20 years of shooting glocks… I’ll stick with Glock, sig, HK lol dammit. I really wanted this gun lol
I’ve certainly had problems with Glock. It’s a new gun I’d assume the chamber had some burrs and sharp edges. I’ve got a Glock with a lonewolf barrel that has tight chamber the rifling sticks in the projectiles and is sticky. Slide sticks all the time and when dirty hangs up chambering. It also hung and jammed because the extractor dug into the rim and it would load but I beveled it with a dremel. Don’t kid yourself all guns can have issues especially running various ammo. I had glocks blow the magazine out. They don’t have a fully supported chamber. And the trigger is mushy. But their ok . Not a nice cz or a beretta to each their own.
I don’t use El cheapo Ammo such as WWB ... to save a few bucks.....my guns are too good to put that crap thru em.
I carry a PCR. Love it. Friend offered to trade me his SP-01 Tac in .40SW for one of my M&P 2.0s. Not sure I want to go to that caliber though
I use primary the cheapest ammo Winchester white box and federal champion from walmart never have had any issue with that ammo on my sp01 tactical
I think the malfunction was ammo related, ive had soo many failure to fires running reduced power springs in my glocks to the point i stay away from Winchester. I stick with Remington and never have problems.
is it just me or at 3:12 if you look at the front of the ejection port. is there something hanging out? but id say its either light hammer spring or hard primers on WWB. i dont own this pistol but i have a shadow and it has a light hammer spring.
My SP-01 tactical has been fussy at times also with failures to feed and eject in particular. I haven't been able to pin down the cause but it runs great most of the time and it's certainly one of my favorites. The gun just feels great in hand and hits what you're aiming at.
Hmmm i dont like those malfunctions. Thanks 4 sharing time to pivit to the rex 01
No problem EVER with my mags with both CZ’s with thousands of rounds. White Box is less than junk!
Which would you guys prefer? The sig p2022 or the cz sp01 ?
Hey I’m in Indiana too
At 3:14 you can see something sticking out next to the cartridge. Could be a chunk of your glove.
Was this new gun cleaned before shooting?
think you may have decocked it during fire. did same thing with my 226 a few times
Winchester white box was all I had to hear to know why the gun locked up lol
Big fuckin brass catcher man! I've had PLENTY of issues with WIN White box. Toss that shit.
I own a CZ sp01 tactical. what laser would you recommend I attach to it?
Does anyone know whether or not the CZ 75 SP-01 has what is considered a "match" (tight) chamber? If it does, this might explain the failure to go into battery with a cartridge that was a little larger than specifications and could be one of the reasons that the CZ 75 series of pistols shoot so well...?
I've had same experience on my CZ p09.. they have short chambers. If any reloads are alittle long or wide THEY WILL NOT CHAMBER & or go in battery. I believe that's y they shoot so good. Powder coated bullets I've reloading are the biggest problem. Most work & then you'll get a few that don't..really pisses you off. Buddy of mine had same problem n Glocks. I believe it's bad bullets/out of spec. But I'll never get rid of my CZs. I've got 3.. CZ craze. Nice video
Sand-Paper-Pistol-Grips my SP-01 has never had any problems, I'd be willing to bet the one round was out of spec and the other had a bad primer. About all I shoot is "cheap" ammo for practice, save the good stuff for "important" work (self defense and the few competitions I've done), and the only issue I've had in 5k+ is a hard primer that went off with a 2nd hammer strike. I think the accuracy CZ'S have is more to do with the full length rails and how the barrel locks up with the slide as opposed to a tight chamber.
Are you getting any trigger bit.
I shoot nothing but Winchester white box and have no issues with it. From what you have shown it is the gun not the ammo. CZ sp 01 is known for not going into complete battery.
I got a Glock does this all the time.
Great gun and video... this happened to one of my pistols after about 30 rounds, we had to push the slide back against a wood block for the ejection... it never happened afterwards. It was some range reloaded ammo, We assumed it was breaking in being i shot two boxes of the same ammo without any problems afterwards
CZs are the best :D
How does it handle hollow points?
awesome
Judging from the comments everyone else has had a negative experience with WWB. You need to stop doing videos and this gun! You're making me want a full sized CZ that no one will buy concealment holsters for! haha
Harry's Holsters I will Dammit! 😜 Carry On
I want one, what do they retail for?
The mags that come with CZ are a pos. I had to buy new mags (they were different mags) and everything went perfect. Although with the stock mags I never had a malfunction like yours in the video I did have issues with the stock mags not pushing the slide release far enough to catch it on the last round and it felt like i was shooting an AK-75SP01 lol
There is good ammo, there is bad ammo, and there is un-usable ammo. Winchester white box is un-usable ammo.
Hmm... I know tbe SP01 has a good rep but I've seen more than a few of them with issues. They're not thr same gun, but I had an Israeli Jericho that just wouldn't stop FTEing. You can maybe chalk it up to WWB, but do you think your M9 or Glock would've ran those rounds perfectly? I'd count on it.
lon242 its the ammo, Winchester white box is the worst ammo on the market
I'm not sure about that. WWB is kinda wimpy but it's not the worst, Winchester steel case is even worse. And a hard lock up like that, I dunno. I hope it works out for Nolan.
Yeah, I've had M9's, G19's and G17's that would lock up with WWB. I have run just about every ammunition through my SP-01's including hand loads and the only failures were with WWB. Over 2000 rounds fired with just those malfunctions.
