I've had the P 01 since 2014 and have used it as my primary carry weapon. 0 failures, 0 flaws, its perfect. I don't have an issue with the sights. It's insanely accurate and reliable. I've got the standard Rubber grips which I really like but for concealed carry I run a CZ aluminum grip. It cut almost 3/8" off the grip width. The pistol simply disappears now.
I just bought one. I live in Hawaii, so I have to wait for the permit, but the gun shop has a range and let me fire it and I am impressed. It shoots incredibly well (probably better than my Sig 239). Needless to say, I'm a happy camper.
I just bought my first CZ P01 and I picked up a set of LOK Matrix Grips for it. I used your 10% off discount code, Thank you for that. This gun is the most ergonomic gun I’ve ever held. I like the added weight over a polymer frame gun. It feels very well built like a tank. Mine has the NSN# on the side which I wanted, but unlike others I’ve seen the NSN# was blacked out instead of being color filled white. Which was a quick fix with some white nail polish. Great review on these two amazing firearms.
We got the SP01 last year. I absolutely love it! In the 10 day waiting period for the P01. I can’t wait to shoot it. I’m sure I won’t be disappointed. Thanks for the video
@@gouldayheem7344 No I haven’t done any mods. All stock. And the P-01 didn’t disappoint. I may do mods on that. The grips for starter, solely for aesthetics lol.
A little late to the CZ game, got a P01 decocker, after 200 rounds, disassembled polished and installed a Cajun trigger kit and truglo tritium sights, super smooth 6 1/2 lb DA and 2 3/4 lb SA trigger pulls, awesome gun, forget the omega trigger, this is my new carry, it is just plain fun to shoot, my last four gun purchases have been CZ, Shadow 2, P 01, 97B with trigger kits and SP 01 tactical, stock so far. Damn you CZ, wish I would have discovered them years ago, might have a few less guns, or more CZ's, also Thanks to Cajun Gun Works or their parts and tutorials and all others who have provided youtube vids. And a shout out to the Honest Outlaw and his vids and LOK grips for their awesome palm swell checkered grips.
My 2 year old stock P-01 pulls at less than 11lbs in DA (10.3 ->10.12) and between 4.4 ->4.10 in SA and is a point and shoot dream. Mine does have NSN 1005-16-000-8619 stamped on it's side, that may be part of the difference. The stock sights aren't tritium or LPA SPRs , but they aren't "terrible" either. They are functionally decent. Terrible would describe the stock Glock (17 -19) plastic sights. And if truth be told, the P-01 ergonomics are so sweet, it just points accurately at 7 yards and in without even using the sights. That's what makes CZs so popular around the world, they work GREAT STOCK!!! They Point-and-Shoot accurately!!! And that is what is really important when using a firearm under stress!!! The stock grip works great hot or freezing; wet or dry!!! You want to make it look pretty, and modify it, feel free, it's your gun. But it's great Stock! It doesn't need a metal guide rod. P-01s received it's NSN rating with the polymer guide rod. That's why it usually rates one of the top 3 spots on most recognized top 9MM lists. I love my P226 MK25, but my P-01 shoots better for me and costed $400 less. The Sig gets plenty of range time, but lives in my safe, while my CZ is always loaded and ready for action. And you want to talk snappy with a 9MM; sorry but P-01s aren't snappy, my Kahr CW9 or my S&W M&P Shield is snappy. An all metal CZ 75, even if it is alloy would never be considered snappy in my world. With due respect, Peace and Blessings.
CZ makes some really nice checkered, or 1/2 checkered Cocobolo & Rosewood grips right from the factory. Wood always feel & look better to me. I also got 14 round mags with a nice hard rubber butt plate for my original CZ 75 B compact from the factory that gave me the perfect grip. Not sure if the PO 1 has a longer grip, but the original compact held 14 + 1 also. I carry my all steel 75 B compact a ton, very accurate, never have had a hick up.
I have a P01 myself. You're comments were pretty spot on. I got it used for 300. I think it was someone's duty gun. It looked like it has been dropped a few times and the finish was pretty marred up. Had it cerakoted tan, thinking it would be unique. Heh. Then CZ started releasing their guns in the exact seem color scheme. I think they copied me. lol
After your weekly gun chat this week I had to rewatch this video as I am excited that I will be purchasing this gun in the next few weeks. Can’t wait to get my hands on it.
Snappy, I have shot a lot of handguns in my day, and the CZP01 is one of the least snappy I have shot. The gun is designed with the slide riding inside of the frame. which makes the CZ recoil more straight back into your palm, making it less snappy! Most people have liked the curved trigger. the only thing I really agree with you is the factory sights. I had tru glo night sights on mine with in a week. I have shot close to 2000 rounds in mine. Absolutely the best hand gun I own.
I’ve chosen this as my carry and training pistol. My instructors have discouraged me from modifications outside of sights and grips ,saying it won’t make you a better shooter. Looks like the best trigger job is a 5000 round trigger job. I drill with this pistol every day and now prefer carrying and shooting it over my P365.
I just got a 75D last week...you are correct about the sights, they do suck! Picked up some Tru Glo TFX’s that I will be installing as soon as my sight pusher device gets here.
I like the feel of the P01 but the trigger on the P07. I also found the reach to the trigger is much shorter on the P07. The triggers really smooth out over time. Hard to say which I like best. These should be sold in pairs.
Just to throw out some random useless info. I ended up with a CZ 75 D compact, it looks exactly like a P01 with the lull lingth frame and rail, and had no NSN markings on it. When looking at their website they do not show a 75 compact with a rail which threw me for a loop ordering a holster. After calling them it turns out that US sales have blown up enough that they are struggling to keep up with demand (finally got my fde p10 after searching in local stores for a year). Turns out mine was not a US market gun but was shipped here to keep up with demand and was a P01, which is also a 75 compact d with rail to some other part of the world. Either way after adding g10 grips to slim it down a hair and big dot sights its pretty much the perfect gun.
I might be a little old school, but I think there's something special about a hammer fired metal pistol, especially if it's a CZ. Love my 75B Omega. Thanks, Big J! #CZLIFE
I thought by CZ would have done something about those sights. Several years ago I bought a CZ-75 BD, a fantastic gun except for the small sights and after shooting it a few times they had to go and I had them replaced with fiber optic sights that made a world of difference.
Just to be sure everyone knows, the CZ decocker pistols are typically carried in a half cock hammer position with a significantly lighter DA pull. This was not the testing method used.
I practically shoot entire bullseyes out on every target with my factory Olive Drab NSN P-01. The factory grips are great and the factory sights are perfect. The smaller the better. It leaves less room for the inaccuracies that stem from much larger dots. Speaking of sights, its actually important to learn not to use them. I was introduced to this method and passed my LTC certification with flying colors, without using sights AT ALL. So sights are the least of my worries. Especially night sights. In the real world, you wont have time to line up your night sights with a flanking target 5 feet away from you. When you begin to neglect your sights, you will find that every gun is accurate and shoots straight. You will find that no barrel is curved. Its the shooter who is pointing in the wrong direction. This is how I out matched a G19 with my cheapie SD9VE.
Big Johnson Guns and Gear will do as soon as I get a chance. By the way you just gained a subscriber. Can’t believe I haven’t seen you before I’ve watched a lot of cz videos. I’m currently going back and forth between my sig stx and my Sphinx sdp for my carry. Love that sdp great cz variant
That’s funny you say that, I have the SDP Compact as well, I just put the Modern Weapon System Trigger Kit in it & it’s awesome, vid on it as well. Trigger now feels like my CZ Shadow 2 but in a Carry version. Thanks for the sub, Carry On
Fired 100 rnds thru my P01 this past weekend, great shooter. Do agree about the sights. Having said that I have ordered a set of Trijicons and they should be here in about 3 days. Looking forward to seeing the improvement.
I used to be a big fan of the steel/alloy frame CZs but the polymer P-series has totally supplanted them in my collection. I do still have a Canik C-100 that CGW worked over for me... that scratches the itch if I ever need to shoot a metal-framed gun...but that is becoming a rare occurence.
What is the first thing some one does when they buy a new glock, They put new sights on it. So what is your point? one of my favorite guns. My P01 is all custom except the grips and sights. I love the black soft rubber stock grips which are already perfect as they are for carry. THE OEM GRIPS THAT COME WITH THIS GUN ARE PERFECT. I had planed before I ever bought the gun to put the TRUGLO TFX pro sights on it. TFX sights are the best of both worlds, for both day and night. Fiber optic combined with night Tritium(Bright during the day and glowing in the dark at night).The recoil only feels some what different because of the way the barrel sits low over the frame which causes the recoil to come straight back low into the hand rather than riding up higher with more muzzle flip. Less Muzzle flip is the name of the game. The interlock slide and tight barrel fit are one of the reasons why this gun is so VERY MUCH more accurate than most other under $1500 dollar carry guns. Can not go wrong with this gun combined with the TFX TruGlo sights. My P01 is my first choice for carry over all my best guns.
I love czs. The steel ones especially, although i have the new p10c. However, the sights always suck on the steel. They are super tiny and hard to pick up. Also, the aluminum frame cannot absorb recoil like the polymer wonders do. Metal doesnt flex. 1000 rounds of dry fire will smoothen up the trigger and make a world of difference. The new omega po1s come with better sights. Just fyi. Great video and review
I know man. I've been staying away from guns lately trying to be good with money. Every time someone posts a CZ vid though my Visa starts calling to me.
I have one of these on hold at my FFL. I'm picking it up tonight. I'm excited. I have the P07 and I love it. I always wanted a P01. I'm looking for a rami and that will conclude my CZ collection unless I decide to buy a P10 , P09 or SP 01
Awesome gun! Luv my p01. Those thin bogies are a great alternative to the thin aluminum grips. Great review on another great firearm. Cz fanboy 4life!!!
+filoIII I will have my Gunsmith do it for mine. There are videos on installing them in a CZ 75 which are almost the same. To walk you thru it! Carry On!
Probably the first time I’ve ever heard anyone complain about the P01 being snappy or having poor sights! I want to put some brighter tritium sights in mine but I like the sights so much that I don’t want to change them until I can find identical profile sights. I’ve put at least 2,000 rounds through it without a single hang up. I also love the hooked trigger; to each their own I suppose.
...suggestion: TruGlo TFX Pro sights, fiber optic and tritium...even looks better...have that for all my three CZ's (so far)...even have a set on the way for the P-01 I'm budgeting to buy end of month...but, you're right, the stock sights need replacing.
I have CZ 75 PCR like you it is snappy and yes i dont like hock Triger and sight is so small and hard to see. i just purchase Beretta M9 and after shooting it i become in love with it . have nice Triger not snappy at all and have nice sight and less recoil now i thinking to sell my cz .
Nice!!! You should really consider sending to CAjun or Custom Shop. The Custom Shop calls it their SDP Package. They have Hiene straight 8s. I got one and love it. Of course CAjun can do a heck of a job as well. Nice grips very nice. Looking forward to getting a set
It really depends on if YOU want a full size gun or a compact? They are both great guns, the SP-01 is heaver & larger & easier to shoot if your new to them. Hope that helps, Carry On
The sights and trigger on the P-01 Omega is similar to the one on the P-07 Gen 2. Just not sure if those are available for purchase at CZ-USA or even if it interchangeable. CGW offers trijicon night sights and a "old style" trigger which has a less of a hook or curve to it.
I tend towards fiber front/black rear since I carry with a WML and RMR ... but that CZ Custom tritium front with the gold outline looks pretty interesting.
s0nspark Yes Sir, on all my carry guns I always use night sight, just in case gun & FL were knocked from your hand, NS can help you locate your Gun quicker & get back in the fight! I appreciate ya brother! Carry On!
My P-01 has Trijicon sights that are far superior to the lousy stock sights, a 15# CGW hammer spring, and a reduced weight firing pin spring. Along with Lok palm swell G10 grips, it’s a fantastic carry pistol.
+Durhamite77 compared to the P-07 it is a little more snappy. I shot it fine just trying to give viewers an idea of what to expect compared to other types of pistols. I have others who have shot it & said the same. Don’t get me wrong I love the pistol. TFW Carry On
I bet, it looks amazing. I was really wanting the CZ75 SP-01 Phantom ever since OTG showcased his. However, I don't have any of the all alloy frame CZ's.
Beautiful pistol ! And I deffenitly going to buy one of these Models , I think there Sweet ! But only a few things ! it's not against The Firearm Nor you BIG J , I know you like your 19X . But the P0-1 kinda of Sounds like Glock , Yet many CZ owners don't speak much about this ! You Spoke about some of the dislikes BIG J., but Many Don't ! They will Bash The Glocks , how they are Made , how the Factory sights Suck that Come from The Factory , How the Triggers Sucks , How it Feels so Horrible in the Hand ! But Yet , They Do The Exact same changes as Glock owners Do ! They say How The P0-1 Factory Sights Suck / The Factory Hook Trigger Sucks and needs to be Changed / Q Cajun Gun Gun works Kit would enhance the Trigger pull and or Feel / the Factory Grips Aren't so Great and most Change the Factory Grips , and purchase some Lok Grips cause Man o Man there Sweet ! And it's not just with the P0-1 many say the same things about the Factory version of the P0-7 , the P0-9 , the P10-c in regards to there Aluminum Sights and the small Tritium front sight ! I cannot say about th Phantom of a few of there other Models . I don't Understand the Difference ? Most Firearm owners do Personalize there Firearms . But I'm not talking about that ! Most CZ owners are making the same exact changes as the Glock Owners Do !!! Because they say the same parts from the Factory suck ! Yet they bash Glock !!!! It's Kinda of Hypocritical to me !!!!! Not bashing the CZ , nor siding with Glock ! I love both , just something I've been observing for some time ! And the Upgrades aren't Cheap with the CZ's .... Thanks for the Awsome Video BIG J . Just my two cents about the CZ's....
I have po1 and a 75d....your right sights do sick....replaced mine with true glow tritium sights...stick up a little high but you can really pick the sights better...by the way like the grips
Just bought one of these today. Well I'm pretty sure I did lol. It's the same gun but stamped CZ75D compact. I think that's what we got in Europe rather than the P01
Superunknown yep, has a rail. It’s a really early model that the rail slot isn’t actually cut right across the bottom of the gun. It’s stamped 2003 so must be an early gun.
Love my P-01. You're right about the sights an I replaced mine with some Tru Glo TFO Pro's... big difference 👍. All in all, these are great pistols and shoot really well.
When it comes to guns, you know you can trust a guy named Big Johnson 😁 I have seen many positive reviews of this pistol and they almost all complain about the sights. At the factory level it would seem they could upgrade them for a few bucks to make their customers happy.
I love my P07. I've tuned it to a butter smooth DA 7.5-8.0 SA 4.0-3.5 crisp as an October apple, totally consistent & reliable. Yes, the stock sights suck audibly. I replaced mine with Big Dot with a big Tritium dot up fron & a rail master laser. Lots of guys rave about Red Dots but a much prefer my green laser. My P07 beats my Sig 226 with CT Laser Grip in every way & the P226 is a deservedly Ledgendary pistol deserves the great respect it gets.
Just found the P01 unicorn last night. CZ 75 Compact w/ rail and steel reciver. looks just like a P01 but it all steel. Only 500 in the US. they have two left as of today. SKU: 99021 Happy hunting.
Very nice Big J. I was looking at a P-01. But I don't need the rail. So the PCR is on the Hit list. I like the look of the Matrix grips, but I prefer that aggressive texture of the Bogies. Gotta pick up another set of grips from Jayson. Got a CZ Pre B project. And LOK's would be the right finish to a Pre B. Thumbs up brother, as always.
+MatteoSixSeventyFour Thanks Brother, I appreciate ya! I wanted the rail so I have a mini to match my SP-01. I like more aggressive as well.#CZM4L..Pre B 👍🏻 Carry On!
Thanks for the info about the 01. I was wanting to compare it to the 07. Now I'm thinking I might want to compare the 75D PCR to the 07. Having trouble finding them to hold.
I bought one and the only let down so far? is it's not a shadow 2 other than that. I do have the omega version i can't do that hook trigger on the non-omega versions.It's perfectly fine. The muzzle flip isn't reduced like it is in on the cz-75B or the Sp-01 or the shadow but it's a CZ so it's all good.
I have heard of security personnel using these as duty weapons. I'm thinking them more in terms of a personal carry/home defense weapon. But I have some really good buddy's that are X-LEO's and military folks who will chose CZ over Glock or Sig any day of the week. Hmm...😉😉😳😳
I appreciate the review. I had a P09 and really liked it, but got rid of it because it was a little big for my personal carry tastes. I consided the P07 but have settled on the P01 for now. I will get one whenever I get around to it. LOL...No worries. I'm well armed right now, so I have no reason to hurry. I am fortunate to have multiple well stocked gun stores in my area, so I will go with the best deal...Are you considering the CGW upgrades? Depending on how much I like the P01 initially will decide if I send it off. That is, if I think it will be worth the $1k total investment. Thanks again
I'm not surprised. The big brother P09 was very nice. I want to try all metal next, for a SA/DA carry gun. The light alloy frame is nice. Metal just feels right in a hammer fired handgun, IMO. As much as I liked the P09, I would prefer a CZ75b for that very reason.
Hey Johnson. Was at the range yesterday was shooting all our glocks our dan Wesson 1911 , XDS, and the CZ-75D. My EDC firearm is my G48 Gen 5 but my next buy is either the CZ-75D or the 75-p01 what you have. Only have shot the 75D not the P01, but love both. So which one should i add to my armory for more of a Home defense night stand firearm?
If its for a night stand gun, I would have a light on the gun, so that would be the P-01. But ultimately it’s which ever YOU like the best. Thanks for Watching, Carry On

Measure the trigger pull after decocking the pistol (half cocked) That's how it would be if loaded.
That's a damn fine looking CZ brother!

Just picked up the CZ P01 Omega. It's a fantastic gun. Sights on it are much better even the Tru-glo are in it's near future.
+Durhamite77 Good Deal, Enjoy it Brother! Carry On
My 2 year old stock P-01 pulls at less than 11lbs in DA (10.3 ->10.12) and between 4.4 ->4.10 in SA and is a point and shoot dream. Mine does have NSN 1005-16-000-8619 stamped on it's side, that may be part of the difference.
The stock sights aren't tritium or LPA SPRs , but they aren't "terrible" either. They are functionally decent.
Terrible would describe the stock Glock (17 -19) plastic sights. And if truth be told, the P-01 ergonomics are so sweet, it just points accurately at 7 yards and in without even using the sights.
That's what makes CZs so popular around the world, they work GREAT STOCK!!! They Point-and-Shoot accurately!!! And that is what is really important when using a firearm under stress!!!
The stock grip works great hot or freezing; wet or dry!!!
You want to make it look pretty, and modify it, feel free, it's your gun.
But it's great Stock! It doesn't need a metal guide rod. P-01s received it's NSN rating with the polymer guide rod.
That's why it usually rates one of the top 3 spots on most recognized top 9MM lists.
I love my P226 MK25, but my P-01 shoots better for me and costed $400 less. The Sig gets plenty of range time, but lives in my safe, while my CZ is always loaded and ready for action.
And you want to talk snappy with a 9MM; sorry but P-01s aren't snappy, my Kahr CW9 or my S&W M&P Shield is snappy.
An all metal CZ 75, even if it is alloy would never be considered snappy in my world.

I thought by CZ would have done something about those sights. Several years ago I bought a CZ-75 BD, a fantastic gun except for the small sights and after shooting it a few times they had to go and I had them replaced with fiber optic sights that made a world of difference.
Which fiber optics did u het
@@TRLgoodvibesdotcom To be honest with you it's been so long ago I have no idea, what ever would fit a CZ-75.
Abner Doubleday i ordered the truglo. I have some on my glock theyre pretty nifty
Just to be sure everyone knows, the CZ decocker pistols are typically carried in a half cock hammer position with a significantly lighter DA pull. This was not the testing method used.
+Chris Goodwin True, I didn't want to decock pistol after every shot! TFW & Carry On!
Excellent review! Another model from CZ I didnt know about so thanks for the detailled info and your experience with it. Totally impressive!
Thanks Brother, I love CZ’s & have many vids on all of mine! I appreciate ya watching, Carry On
I practically shoot entire bullseyes out on every target with my factory Olive Drab NSN P-01. The factory grips are great and the factory sights are perfect. The smaller the better. It leaves less room for the inaccuracies that stem from much larger dots. Speaking of sights, its actually important to learn not to use them. I was introduced to this method and passed my LTC certification with flying colors, without using sights AT ALL. So sights are the least of my worries. Especially night sights. In the real world, you wont have time to line up your night sights with a flanking target 5 feet away from you. When you begin to neglect your sights, you will find that every gun is accurate and shoots straight. You will find that no barrel is curved. Its the shooter who is pointing in the wrong direction. This is how I out matched a G19 with my cheapie SD9VE.
Great, thanks for Watching! Carry on
I want an urban grey P-01 with a comp and a SAO flatty trigger and some fiber optic sights! Great Vid!!
Cool, TFW Brother! Carry On
Those grips look amazing. I like the carry grip too.
+pinkiewerewolf Thanks So much, LOKGRIPS does a great job! So glad to hear from you again, TFW & Carry On!
Great shooter! love it.
changed out the sights and grips too
Great looking gun. I’m a cz and a 1911 junky. Can’t wait to get one. It will be soon
Good deal, #CZLIFE Indeed! Check out my other CZ vids, TFW Carry On
Big Johnson Guns and Gear will do as soon as I get a chance. By the way you just gained a subscriber. Can’t believe I haven’t seen you before I’ve watched a lot of cz videos. I’m currently going back and forth between my sig stx and my Sphinx sdp for my carry. Love that sdp great cz variant
That’s funny you say that, I have the SDP Compact as well, I just put the Modern Weapon System Trigger Kit in it & it’s awesome, vid on it as well. Trigger now feels like my CZ Shadow 2 but in a Carry version. Thanks for the sub, Carry On
Big Johnson Guns and Gear I’ll check that video out I’ve been looking at that kit
Fired 100 rnds thru my P01 this past weekend, great shooter. Do agree about the sights. Having said that I have ordered a set of Trijicons and they should be here in about 3 days. Looking forward to seeing the improvement.
+Gordon Casazza Good Deal Brother, Carry On!
I used to be a big fan of the steel/alloy frame CZs but the polymer P-series has totally supplanted them in my collection. I do still have a Canik C-100 that CGW worked over for me... that scratches the itch if I ever need to shoot a metal-framed gun...but that is becoming a rare occurence.
+s0nspark The polymer are nice, I really like my all steel CZ's as well! TFW & Carry On!
Really one of the best looking guns out there!
+GunCollector007 She is a little Beauty! TFW & Carry On!
What is the first thing some one does when they buy a new glock, They put new sights on it. So what is your point?
one of my favorite guns. My P01 is all custom except the grips and sights. I love the black soft rubber stock grips which are already perfect as they are for carry. THE OEM GRIPS THAT COME WITH THIS GUN ARE PERFECT.
I had planed before I ever bought the gun to put the TRUGLO TFX pro sights on it. TFX sights are the best of both worlds, for both day and night. Fiber optic combined with night Tritium(Bright during the day and glowing in the dark at night).The recoil only feels some what different because of the way the barrel sits low over the frame which causes the recoil to come straight back low into the hand rather than riding up higher with more muzzle flip. Less Muzzle flip is the name of the game. The interlock slide and tight barrel fit are one of the reasons why this gun is so VERY MUCH more accurate than most other under $1500 dollar carry guns. Can not go wrong with this gun combined with the TFX TruGlo sights. My P01 is my first choice for carry over all my best guns.
Good deal, TFW Carry On
10lb DA trigger with a 4.5lb SA is quite nice. Those grips are sweet
Thanks Brother, it’s a nice Pistol for sure! TFW Carry On
This might be the one for me! Carry on
Paradox2311 Thanks Brother, Its really nice in the hand as well! #CZM4L Carry On!
Given the title of the video... I knew exactly what was in the box lol
I love czs. The steel ones especially, although i have the new p10c.
However, the sights always suck on the steel. They are super tiny and hard to pick up. Also, the aluminum frame cannot absorb recoil like the polymer wonders do. Metal doesnt flex.
1000 rounds of dry fire will smoothen up the trigger and make a world of difference.
The new omega po1s come with better sights. Just fyi.
Great video and review
+Scott McNamara Yes Sir, TFW Carry On!
Maybe that's why at a shooting range when I handled a Glock17 & CZ75B, there was more felt recoil with the CZ75B.
@@perplexingperceptions8888 that and the Glock has a lower bore axis. It’s hard to beat the low bore axis of the Glock. Takes away the muzzle flip
Try a touch of orange paint on the front sight instead of yellow . It works for me.
+Nick Chlomoudis Yep, but I'm going to change them, there to small for my aging eyes, TFW Sir! Carry On!
I have a CZ P07 Duty. I love it. I wan the newest version. Actually, I’m looking for the CZ P10S (optics ready) 3.5” barrel w/12 rounds.
Good deal, I have the CZ P-10C now Optic ready with an RMR & a CZ P-10F with the SRO & I love them both. Thanks for Watching, Carry On
Dammit Big J. You and Pops keep getting all the CZs I want to try. Add this one to the running list!
UziNineMillomeetah Haha, Thanks UZI I appreciate ya brother! #CZM4L Carry On!
Time to join Uzi. #CZM4L
I know man. I've been staying away from guns lately trying to be good with money. Every time someone posts a CZ vid though my Visa starts calling to me.
I just bought stainless 75 for my B-day and another polymer 75 clone. They're addicting! #CZM4L
+UziNineMillomeetah Haha..Uzi be well brother! Carry On!
I have one of these on hold at my FFL. I'm picking it up tonight. I'm excited. I have the P07 and I love it. I always wanted a P01. I'm looking for a rami and that will conclude my CZ collection unless I decide to buy a P10 , P09 or SP 01
+socc69 Can't stop there, gotta have the P09 & Sp01 and Shadow 2 & TSO as well! 🤣 you will like your P01, TFW & Carry On!
Beautiful CZ man.I have the Phanton and love it,I would love to add one these to my collection.
+ammohead73 Thanks Brother, it's a nice pistol for sure! I am always looking to grow my CZ collection! 😜 Carry On!
Another great looking pistol. Keep on Keeping on, brother!
Ambiguity Thanks Brother, I appreciate ya! Carry On!
Awesome gun! Luv my p01. Those thin bogies are a great alternative to the thin aluminum grips. Great review on another great firearm. Cz fanboy 4life!!!
+Fill Emm Thanks Brother, I appreciate ya! #CZM4L Carry On!
Please do a VERY detailed installation of the 85c trigger.
+filoIII I will have my Gunsmith do it for mine. There are videos on installing them in a CZ 75 which are almost the same. To walk you thru it! Carry On!
You already have a Sphinx now this very nice pistols that I want!!
Luke DAWG yes Sir, we may do a head to head on those 2! TFW LD, Carry On!
nice 1911 style. Not my favorite to carry though. beaver tail digs in. nice review. thnks B.J.😉
Abaddon 12 Thanks Brother, I really appreciate ya! Carry On!
Probably the first time I’ve ever heard anyone complain about the P01 being snappy or having poor sights! I want to put some brighter tritium sights in mine but I like the sights so much that I don’t want to change them until I can find identical profile sights. I’ve put at least 2,000 rounds through it without a single hang up. I also love the hooked trigger; to each their own I suppose.
Yes Sir, TFW Carry On
...suggestion: TruGlo TFX Pro sights, fiber optic and tritium...even looks better...have that for all my three CZ's (so far)...even have a set on the way for the P-01 I'm budgeting to buy end of month...but, you're right, the stock sights need replacing.
Wow thats a cool concept. Jason does some good work
Joey Cuz Yes Sir he does! TFW & Carry On!
Too much CZ Pron! Keep it coming Dude!
defshrimp Haha, will do, I appreciate ya! #CZM4L Carry On!
I have CZ 75 PCR like you it is snappy and yes i dont like hock Triger and sight is so small and hard to see.
i just purchase Beretta M9 and after shooting it i become in love with it . have nice Triger not snappy at all and have nice sight and less recoil now i thinking to sell my cz .
I kind of like the new grip. Cool pistol.
+Muzzle First Thanks Muzzle! I appreciate ya, Carry On!
Nice!!! You should really consider sending to CAjun or Custom Shop. The Custom Shop calls it their SDP Package. They have Hiene straight 8s. I got one and love it. Of course CAjun can do a heck of a job as well. Nice grips very nice. Looking forward to getting a set
Scott Jernigan May do, I love Hiene 8 I have a couple of them on 2 other pistols! TFW Brother Carry On!
You finally bought a CZ! CZM4L Carry On!
+Jack Ammo I think so, #CZM4L Carry On!
Im looking to buy a cz 75 but I can’t make my mind up if I want a sp01 or p01.
It really depends on if YOU want a full size gun or a compact?
They are both great guns, the SP-01 is heaver & larger & easier to shoot if your new to them. Hope that helps, Carry On
The sights and trigger on the P-01 Omega is similar to the one on the P-07 Gen 2. Just not sure if those are available for purchase at CZ-USA or even if it interchangeable.
CGW offers trijicon night sights and a "old style" trigger which has a less of a hook or curve to it.
+Pnoy Geek Yes Sir, the 85C trigger will fit a P-01 Not sure which sights I want for it yet! I have a P07 as well, TFW & Carry On!
I tend towards fiber front/black rear since I carry with a WML and RMR ... but that CZ Custom tritium front with the gold outline looks pretty interesting.
s0nspark Yes Sir, on all my carry guns I always use night sight, just in case gun & FL were knocked from your hand, NS can help you locate your Gun quicker & get back in the fight! I appreciate ya brother! Carry On!
My P-01 has Trijicon sights that are far superior to the lousy stock sights, a 15# CGW hammer spring, and a reduced weight firing pin spring. Along with Lok palm swell G10 grips, it’s a fantastic carry pistol.
Glad you enjoy it
Sweet CZ my friend.
live4wild Thanks LFW, I appreciate ya! #CZM4L Carry On!
Snappy? For a Glock 19 size gun it handles recoil well
+Durhamite77 compared to the P-07 it is a little more snappy. I shot it fine just trying to give viewers an idea of what to expect compared to other types of pistols. I have others who have shot it & said the same. Don’t get me wrong I love the pistol. TFW Carry On
Durhamite77 right. First time I've ever heard someone say any CZ was "snappy". The reason I got a CZ was bc of it reputation of not being snappy.
What does snappy mean!?😂😂
You can Google it, Carry On
I would think the polymer frame would have been snappier
Another great looking pistol bro, I need to get an all alloy CZ. Outstanding my friend!!
+fumasterchu12 It feels great in hand! TFW Brother, I appreciate ya! Carry On!
I bet, it looks amazing. I was really wanting the CZ75 SP-01 Phantom ever since OTG showcased his. However, I don't have any of the all alloy frame CZ's.
fumasterchu12 There ya go Brother! Carry On!
Congrats on the new CZ!

AirborneVet 2008 Thanks Again KB32 is a great guy! Welcome to my channel! Carry On!
Beautiful pistol ! And I deffenitly going to buy one of these Models , I think there Sweet ! But only a few things ! it's not against The Firearm Nor you BIG J , I know you like your 19X . But the P0-1 kinda of Sounds like Glock , Yet many CZ owners don't speak much about this ! You Spoke about some of the dislikes BIG J., but Many Don't ! They will Bash The Glocks , how they are Made , how the Factory sights Suck that Come from The Factory , How the Triggers Sucks , How it Feels so Horrible in the Hand ! But Yet , They Do The Exact same changes as Glock owners Do ! They say How The P0-1 Factory Sights Suck / The Factory Hook Trigger Sucks and needs to be Changed / Q Cajun Gun Gun works Kit would enhance the Trigger pull and or Feel / the Factory Grips Aren't so Great and most Change the Factory Grips , and purchase some Lok Grips cause Man o Man there Sweet ! And it's not just with the P0-1 many say the same things about the Factory version of the P0-7 , the P0-9 , the P10-c in regards to there Aluminum Sights and the small Tritium front sight ! I cannot say about th Phantom of a few of there other Models . I don't Understand the Difference ? Most Firearm owners do Personalize there Firearms . But I'm not talking about that ! Most CZ owners are making the same exact changes as the Glock Owners Do !!! Because they say the same parts from the Factory suck ! Yet they bash Glock !!!! It's Kinda of Hypocritical to me !!!!! Not bashing the CZ , nor siding with Glock ! I love both , just something I've been observing for some time ! And the Upgrades aren't Cheap with the CZ's .... Thanks for the Awsome Video BIG J . Just my two cents about the CZ's....
Yep they are changes that slot of people like to make to any firearm, so I say make it your own & what makes you happy. TFW Brother, Carry On
@@BigJohnsonGG Absolutly Agree BIG J . Have a Blessed Sunday evening ...👍
I have po1 and a 75d....your right sights do sick....replaced mine with true glow tritium sights...stick up a little high but you can really pick the sights better...by the way like the grips
+Doug Vogel Thanks Brother, I appreciate ya! TFW & Carry On!
Just bought one of these today. Well I'm pretty sure I did lol. It's the same gun but stamped CZ75D compact. I think that's what we got in Europe rather than the P01
Superunknown yep, has a rail. It’s a really early model that the rail slot isn’t actually cut right across the bottom of the gun. It’s stamped 2003 so must be an early gun.
Love my P-01. You're right about the sights an I replaced mine with some Tru Glo TFO Pro's... big difference 👍. All in all, these are great pistols and shoot really well.
Thanks for Watching, Carry On
From what i hear the tfx's pros shoot abnormally downward from the intended p.o.i.
Those "Matrix" grips are nice
+Arnold Gayden Yea there pretty nice, I'm going to give them a run! TFW & Carry On!
I love prototype grip as they look like they're COACH design.
+Gary Gallant Ok, TFW Carry On!
I put some LOK “mini” G10 grips on my 75D, life them!
When it comes to guns, you know you can trust a guy named Big Johnson 😁
I have seen many positive reviews of this pistol and they almost all complain about the sights. At the factory level it would seem they could upgrade them for a few bucks to make their customers happy.
Thanks 😜, It’s just there old school ways! But they make great guns..I have many CZ’s, ✔️ Out my newer vids as well. Thanks for Watching, Carry On
I love my Cz p 01 👏🏽
I love my P07. I've tuned it to a butter smooth DA 7.5-8.0 SA 4.0-3.5 crisp as an October apple, totally consistent & reliable.
Yes, the stock sights suck audibly. I replaced mine with Big Dot with a big Tritium dot up fron & a rail master laser. Lots of guys rave about Red Dots but a much prefer my green laser. My P07 beats my Sig 226 with CT Laser Grip in every way & the P226 is a deservedly Ledgendary pistol deserves the great respect it gets.
Great Review!
Ed USAF Thanks Ed, I appreciate ya! Carry On!
Love those grips....CZ is looking good from the fan boy club...Good stuff...
+Scott F. Thanks Brother, I appreciate ya! #CZM4L Carry On!
They break trigger return springs quite regularly. But, it's a $2 part and it's somewhat easy to replace.
Hans Blitz Yep, thanks for watching! Carry On!
I like this gun but not really sure about the aluminum-framed. Is it gonna last? Thinking about getting one of this.
+Dav Dub Yes it will, its very strong. TFW & Carry On!
Just found the P01 unicorn last night. CZ 75 Compact w/ rail and steel reciver. looks just like a P01 but it all steel. Only 500 in the US. they have two left as of today. SKU: 99021 Happy hunting.
+Rot05 Yes Sir, as have seen them. Enjoy it Brother! Carry On!
Very nice Big J. I was looking at a P-01. But I don't need the rail. So the PCR is on the Hit list.
I like the look of the Matrix grips, but I prefer that aggressive texture of the Bogies. Gotta pick up another set of grips from Jayson. Got a CZ Pre B project. And LOK's would be the right finish to a Pre B. Thumbs up brother, as always.
+MatteoSixSeventyFour Thanks Brother, I appreciate ya! I wanted the rail so I have a mini to match my SP-01. I like more aggressive as well.#CZM4L..Pre B 👍🏻 Carry On!
So how's the search on that pcr going? Lol
TFW Carry On
I got some extra CZ sights just like those you can make some jewelry with
TheHumbleMarksman Haha, 🤣 I appreciate ya! #CZM4L Carry On!

+treesablowin Haha, I appreciate ya trees! #CZM4L Carry On!
Looks nice keep them coming!
Keith Gregory Thanks Brother, O appreciate ya! Carry On!
looks like a nice pistol I would swap the triggers and lighten it if you are planning on keeping it
+badbilly429 I'm sure I will change them out. Yes Sir I'm keeping it! TFW & Carry On!
Can't wait to shot mine today. Thanks for the video and cheers!
Nice review...love the new grips.
+God, Guns & Gears Thank you Sir, I appreciate ya! Carry On!
CZ P-01 and you have a lot of fans.
Thanks Brother, Carry On
Thanks for the info about the 01. I was wanting to compare it to the 07. Now I'm thinking I might want to compare the 75D PCR to the 07. Having trouble finding them to hold.
Your welcome, I have a P-01 vs the P-07 vid as well! TFW Carry On
I think I've watched. Starting to lose track!
😂 TFW Carry On
I bought one and the only let down so far? is it's not a shadow 2 other than that. I do have the omega version i can't do that hook trigger on the non-omega versions.It's perfectly fine. The muzzle flip isn't reduced like it is in on the cz-75B or the Sp-01 or the shadow but it's a CZ so it's all good.
Yep it’s Nice, but I do love my Shadow 2 ! TFW Carry On
My sole complaint is my gun had very heavy springs from the factory. NATO ammo is hot. Many people swap the main spring (Cajun Gun Works).
+Kim Siewers Yes Sir, TFW Carry On
I have heard of security personnel using these as duty weapons. I'm thinking them more in terms of a personal carry/home defense weapon. But I have some really good buddy's that are X-LEO's and military folks who will chose CZ over Glock or Sig any day of the week. Hmm...😉😉😳😳
I appreciate the review. I had a P09 and really liked it, but got rid of it because it was a little big for my personal carry tastes. I consided the P07 but have settled on the P01 for now. I will get one whenever I get around to it. LOL...No worries. I'm well armed right now, so I have no reason to hurry. I am fortunate to have multiple well stocked gun stores in my area, so I will go with the best deal...Are you considering the CGW upgrades? Depending on how much I like the P01 initially will decide if I send it off. That is, if I think it will be worth the $1k total investment. Thanks again
I displease the crown Your Welcome, I actually prefer my P-07 over my P-01. Thanks for Watching, Carry On
I'm not surprised. The big brother P09 was very nice. I want to try all metal next, for a SA/DA carry gun. The light alloy frame is nice. Metal just feels right in a hammer fired handgun, IMO. As much as I liked the P09, I would prefer a CZ75b for that very reason.
Nice new rig, I like it.

Hey Johnson. Was at the range yesterday was shooting all our glocks our dan Wesson 1911 , XDS, and the CZ-75D. My EDC firearm is my G48 Gen 5 but my next buy is either the CZ-75D or the 75-p01 what you have. Only have shot the 75D not the P01, but love both. So which one should i add to my armory for more of a Home defense night stand firearm?
If its for a night stand gun, I would have a light on the gun, so that would be the P-01. But ultimately it’s which ever YOU like the best. Thanks for Watching, Carry On
Hey man, I have read quite a bit of rumor about the SS guide rod doing damage to the alloy frame, can you check it to confirm ? thanks.
