The po7 in 9 mm cycles flawless. Never had one failure. And cz offers plenty of site choices as well as nite sites I have them. There customer service is outstanding. Also a leather Tagua belt slide holster for a xd fits like a glove
Hey Nutn! Another great vid. Glad to see you with a myriad of pistols on the table. I was surprisedand not surprised to see a G17 Gen 4. Can't wait for that vid to air!!!! Thanks for all you do for the outdoors/firearms community. And for your service and sacrifice in the USAF.
I'd like to see an updated review of the 2014 version of the CZ P-07. They fixed a lot of things that Nutnfancy talked about and also added some stuff. Smoothed edges, user replaceable back straps, steel sights with luminova dots, reduced mag capacity by one round(easier to load now), new slide finish, new trigger(not as curved), front and rear slide serrations.
CBRNe8310 Just Picked up a new P-07, haven`t got taken it to the range yet. The magazines are 15 rounds, but it came with 2 magazine extensions which look like they should increase them to 17. Haven`t loaded them up yet.
Just a heads up, the USPc serpa holster does fit the p-07, retention functioning flawlessly for those interested in purchasing holsters. I've used this combo for IDPA extremely successfully. I'll add a model number for the correct version at a later date. Good to see this video finally up!
Maybe this has been pointed out already, but if you use a corner of the plastic magazine base to push out the takedown pin, you can usually push it in far enough to pull it out with your fingers from the other side. Love your reviews! Thanks!
I have the PO7 Duty in 9mm and absolutely love this gun. Extremely accurate out of the box. I'm a big guy with big hands and I love the grip. Was surprised to hear smaller hands like it as well. Having said that, all of Nutn's comments about sharp edges, sights, lack of accessories are all true. However, I've had no problems with the edges snagging on anything in real use. For concealed carry, I have an Alabama IWB kydex holster that I carry at 5 o'clock and I can get it out every time without an issue. The frame IS a little fat but it doesn't print at all carried in that position (BTW, Alabama holster makes an awesome holster that fits this gun like a glove but their customer service is beyond deplorable- 14 weeks to delivery and an obnoxious attitude to a single email status request doesn't cut it). The weight is very nice and the gun is well balanced. Magazine prices ARE ridiculous and CZ should do something about that. Still, my favorite carry and a GREAT gun to own.
I love my P07 duty! I just had to work out the kinks. Deburr and smooth out slide, extractor, and take a little off the slide stop so it doesn't touch the rounds. Runs flawlessly and super accurate!
I have the CZ 75 p07 duty and love it! Zero malfunctions. Cz manual recommends using the mag to push out the takedown pin. Field striping not bad once you get use to it. I highly recommend this pistol.
I have this in 9mm. It is my sidearm for 3 gun matches ( till I get a P-09). Mine has been 100% reliable and quite accurate. Mine came with a lighter trigger 7 lbs double 3 single. I tried my regular CZ-75 mags in it and they work. A little bit of play side to side as the width of the P-07 mages are a bit wider. They lock back after each round. Fed with 100% reliability with any and all bullet types and weights. they do stick out a bit longer as well. These in 9mm are great pistols!!
I, too, have a P-07. It works just fine for me at the range. The shorter barrel (compared to my 1911 and CZ SP-01 Tactical) is a little more challenging. I am totally satisfied with this pistol. I opted for an older model, mainly because mine has night sights, front and rear, an extended barrel (not threaded), and a trigger I just love (more of a hook shape compared to the 2014 model).
There are not extended mags specific to the P07 Duty, But you can use the P09 mags which are 19rds. . . or you can get mag extensions from CZ or CZ Custom shop which will take your factory mags to 20rd mags.
I had the 9mm and no problem with any factory rounds the whole time I had it. Everything else you said was correct on extra magazines, etc. I gave it to my brother as a gift since he needed a pistol and the PO-7 was my cheapest pistol.
Great video. I was looking at the CZ P-07 and the CZ 75B both in 9mm and you gave me a lot of good info if I decide to purchase. BTW, I had a PPQ .40 and it failed to go into battery as your P-07 .40 did "all the time." I got so frustrated with it that I traded it to my local gun dealer for a XDs 9mm. that gun has it's own issues but that is another story..
Nice review. Thanks for the detail. I bought a P-07 in the 9 mm variant because of the failure to feed issue in the .40 cal. I read a couple of articles that stated they had an issue with certain FMJ angles. That being said, I have really enjoyed my 9 mm. Shoots very nice and accurate. First shot out of the box at 25 yards was dead center bulls eye. I plan on buying an inside waistband holster that is molded for this gun. There are a number of them on the market now. Overall good gun.
I haven't read through all five hundred or so comments or anything so this may have been mentioned, but the floor plate of the magazine works perfectly for taking the slide pin out. Also another mention for one in 9mm with zero problems
From working at a large-retail store that sells this model (in 9mm), customers who hold the gun really like the way that this gun feels in hand. A lot of people are bugged by the low slide when they try to charge it, but their love for the ergonomics tends to outweigh this. Also something interesting to note is that the safety can only be engaged when hammer is cocked. The safety does not decock the pistol either.
Thanks for the review. I have a p-07 in 9mm and have not had a single feed problem yet after about 1000 rounds, though it's all been brass-cased ammo. As usual, the rest of your review is spot-on. It's comfortable to shoot with ergos similar to a 1911. Mags are painful to load and expensive. Overall, it's been a positive purchase for me.
Huge sigh of relief when you said that no problems reported were reported on the 9mm version. I just bought one two days ago, extended barrel and factory night sights. It feels amazing in the hand and the trigger is top notch.
Nutn, I was JUST thinking about this gun this afternoon before I knew this Vid was posted. I shot a .40 cal S&W SD for the first time and now i see this video by you. You sir have just made my day. ~TJ
Funny story...I watched this review when it came out. A short time later I bought a P-07 in .40 Just re-watched the review 12/2015, and based on your final comments, I asked myself why I bought it in the first place! Oh well, mine primarily serves as home protection. It only has 50 to 100 rounds through it, with no malfunctions. I occasionally travel with it, as it's less expensive to replace.
Cool review, thanks for the effort!! I have about 800rnd through mine, no issues but I did smooth the side before I got busy per your review, Some stuff is hard to find, but overall, my favorite carry pistol, Good job guys!!
Just a little something I found useful in disassembling CZs without tools: use one hand to prop back the slide by drawing back on the rear sight with an index finger, while preventing movement by using the beaver tail as leverage with that same hand's thumb, (squeezing the slide to the frame). Then use the side or under-side of an off-hand knuckle to press out the slide stop, (the underside of my thumb knuckle works well for me). The trigger guard can be grasped for pressing-hand leverage.
Just got this blue gun in a week ago for the CZ P07 Duty as I design custom concealment kydex holsters and even the blue gun makes you want to have one. The looks are amazing
Got a CZ P07 in OD Green, after the fix to frame bulge and mag-drop. I went for it cuz I wanted something more carriable over the CZ 75B which has always been solid for me. CZ compact and P01 just aren't easy to find around here. P07 vs G19 was my debate when purchasing, I went CZ cuz it's what I favored in my hand. Good gun.
I have a .40 p07 that I've put over 2k of Win white box through,as well as other loads. No failures or problems. Got a IWB holster from Crossbreed tat is great, love this gun.
The P-09 magazines (19-round capacity) *do* fit the P-07 very nicely. When I'm shooting my P-07, I take my P-09 mags with me to get a few extra shoots between reloads. They extend below the grip a little (like about as much as the G21 mags do when used with the G30), but not much.
My question is, what kind of ammo were you using when you had the FTB malfunctions. I have only ever heard of this issue with the 40 S&W with reloaded ammo, and only with reloaded ammo. I noticed that you said different "loads" and not different ammo, which makes me highly suspicious that you may have been using reloads.
Longtime subscriber, 1st time commentor. I really enjoyed the review/comments on the P-07. I'm a big CZ fan but don't own one yet. I've been debating whether to purchase the P-07 or a Glock in .40S&W. The debate is ongoing after this review. Another issue I have is magazine compatibility. P-07 magazines won't fit it any other CZ handgun. Glocks allow this across the board, compact to subcompact included. Hopefully CZ works out the kinks & makes a subcompact P-07. I'm in the market for both.
I have the P07 in 9mm. Pure perfection. I have only ran 250 rounds through it so far (50 of those being H.P) and 0 failures of any kind. That sucks that the .40 is so non- reliable. Bummer.. I was actually thinking of getting one in 40 as well; having been so happy with the 9mm. Thanks for the informative vid. You just saved me 450.00 and a whole lot of frustration. If anyone is looking for a DA/SA Midsized 9mm; check out the P07. That one DOES run- unlike its .40 sibling.
Great vid Nut! i noticed that the first target you showed said XDM on the top just noticed check the comments and i guess no one else noticed.. Also was just wondering if you where going to do any more vids on any of the HK's im a big fan of hk and would love to see some more vids!
Thanks for the (as always) honest review Nutn. Shame the gun wasn't reliable for you. I'm honestly not a huge CZ fan, just don't dig 'em (2nd kind of cool) but good info here for those considering this gun! BTW, are you testing some Gen 4 Glocks now too!? I've just ordered a Gen 4 G17 for my 1st pistol and would love to see your thoughts on those guns too. Hope to get a review on them soon but I know you're busy. Keep up the great work man. long live TNP!
You can take a file to the notch at the end of the slide stop to make it removable with a thumb. What you want to accomplish is changing the "U" where the retention springs rests into a ramp with a half-notch at the bottom so the spring can still do its job. Making a ramp as opposed to just filing it down straight will ensure that the massive tension of the spring will keep the slide stop in the gun even if it is somehow knocked loose.
Nice i was going off their website.. as the site says *prices may vary from store to store*.. hopefully CZ figured out the slide rail problems, happy shooting to ya
Nutn, I love your reviews... Like the mostly unbiased "exception to glocks" reviews. I wish you had done one on the 9mm Out of all my pistols USP, PPS, P239 my duty is my absolute favorite, probably because I shoot it well. Here's another " please review the 9mm" Comment.
I'm buying my first full size pistol because i have a Bersa thunder .380 which you gave a 10/10 on your review and also i have a 20 gauge Remington 870 express mag and i am buying the normal p-07 not the reduced length duty.
I own the gun as well for almost a year now. Put more than a 1000 rounds through it. I love it. Previously I owned a 1911. I really was worried about how it would be to move to the duty, but it's an awesome gun, very accurate very light weight. I love it. so far, more than 1000 rounds and not even a hiccup (NO FTF/FTE) all smooth. BTW, I have the 9mm gun.
Just curious, the first target you lay on the table is Labeled XDM 40. Are you wanting to see who is paying attention, or was that just an error on your part?
Have you considered do a review and the second gen of this gun. I just sent my early model 07 in for issues. I believe I will be getting a NIB 07. Its my understanding that several issues have been addressed
Nutn, I got my Christmas present, the TLR-4 (light and laser), installed on my .40 CZ P-07 Duty. The on/off/momentary switch has maybe 1/16" before it makes contact with the trigger guard. Love it. Picked up some Fiocchi 165gr JHP.
I am so glad I picked up the Phantom instead of this p-07. The sp-01 is much sexier! Thanks again for the great advice and thorough reviews, and they are never too long.
+1 would love to see an update review on the updated P07 model & for that matter, the P09 full size big brother; just make it a 2fer quicky. While I am making a wishlist, would LOVE to have a Barnes Precision Machine BPM-15 5.56 Wylde 18in & .300BLK pistol as well as the newly introduced LR-10 .308 battle rifles on your table. Known to be excellent 3gun & comp machines but I wonder how they fair in rough & tumble hard usage & far too few user reviews online. Know your dislike of reviewing much the same again AR platforms but they are THE only company that gives me exactly the options & niche features (18in SS button rifled barrels, Wylde chambering, rifle & midlength gas options, factory freefloat non-quad handguards, larger barrel nut for extra support, tensionable upper & lower receiver, etc) I want (imagine everyone could benefit) in one package at less ridiculous prices nearly all machined in house in the USA. Love to see a .45 vs 10mm shootout as well. Thanks for the entertaining informed opinion deduced from data & testing as always. Cheers
I have to agree with Angus, the P-07 in 9mm is superb. The only problem I had was the paint on the front sight chipped off after a couple of years, I went to a red fiber optic and now I like the P-07 more than ever. I've run it in all weather and never once had any kind of failure, I can't say that about my Glocks or my H&K USP. The ergonomics of this gun inspires confidence which becomes evident on your target, give the P-07 9mm a try and I'm sure you'll enjoy similar success.
I found for my purposes that if you push the corner of the rubber base plate against the pin, it will push through about 1/4 inch and the you can just pinch with your fingers and pull out, no tools required.That's me on my P 01 but all the CZs are the same.
About the failure to feed issues: I owned a CZ 2075 RAMIP in .40 s&w. I had the exact same issues. It would fail to feed at least once per magazine. I finally realized that the lips on the sides of the magazine were cutting into the case of the round causing it to hang up. It seems almost as if the top of CZ's .40 cal magazines is not wide enough. I purchased the P07 in 9mm afraid i would have the same problems but to my relief i have fired 800 rounds through it with zero failures. Great Gun!
Just an observation: (The lady in the videos uses the "tea cup & saucer" grip when shooting a hand gun.) I've wanted a CZ of some sort for years. The fit my hand like no other handgun I've held. Another great review. Thanks.
Have the .40 loading problems been fixed for 2013? I'm looking to get one for myself as a all around and concealed carry. Yours is the only review I have found mentioning the reliability problems.
Today, I picked up the "Blackhawk Nylon Ambidextrous holster with mag pouch" at a sporting goods store. It is black and comfortable. I chose the size '05'. I like that it is ambi since I am left-handed when firing.
I have this gun in 9mm it works great havent had any problems with it the only thing i dont like is the price of extra mags they were 42 bucks other wise the price was good got it for 450 with free tactical light you should try it in 9mm think it will run good keep up the good videos!!
The reason they call these midsize auto loaders like the Glock 19 and the p07 duty dates back a long time. When most automatic handguns consisted of a 4.5"-5" barrel and had large grips. People didn't use to conceal handguns and didn't really care about their size. The word compact means "smaller than" so they are compact. Just not by much. I can say though. A Glock 19 is easier to carry than a Glock 17. Then we get into the term "sub-compact" which is a difficult definition that basically means "smaller than smaller" that's where the Glock 26, PM9 and other such actual compact pistols fall into. I personaly usually call a Glock 19/23 a midsize though. If you say compact to someone, they usually assume 2 finger grip pocket rocket pistols.
I won't keep a gun in my inventory that can't cycle factory ammo properly. There is just no reason to put up with that. Some guns need to be broken in, but after that it must run reliably otherwise it's a lemon. Thanks for yet another great review Nutn!!
CZ is one of the best kept secrets in firearms.
I'm the biggest glock fan ever but the accuracy of this gun is amazing. Glad I made this purchase. Also this is my first hammer fire pistol.
Time for a test/review on the new PO7 gen 2?
Indeed. That would be cool.
I think CZ watched this video when they made the gen 2. I love my CZ P-07.
Three years down the road and I still love my CZ 75 P07 Duty (9mm). It is a very accurate soft shooter.
Very comfortable for EDC.
The po7 in 9 mm cycles flawless. Never had one failure. And cz offers plenty of site choices as well as nite sites I have them. There customer service is outstanding. Also a leather Tagua belt slide holster for a xd fits like a glove
Your honesty and thought put into your reviews never disappoints me. Thank you for another great review nutnfancy.
Hey Nutn! Another great vid. Glad to see you with a myriad of pistols on the table. I was surprisedand not surprised to see a G17 Gen 4. Can't wait for that vid to air!!!! Thanks for all you do for the outdoors/firearms community. And for your service and sacrifice in the USAF.

Smoothed edges, user replaceable back straps, steel sights with luminova dots, reduced mag capacity by one round(easier to load now), new slide finish, new trigger(not as curved), front and rear slide serrations.
ive heard the 9mm version is fine but the 40 has or had issues. i dont know if that is true or still stands to this day. just food for thought.
l3arrett82 I had the 40, never had any problems
Justin Ledford i got the 9 on the 23rd. it was my bday gift.
CBRNe8310 Just Picked up a new P-07, haven`t got taken it to the range yet. The magazines are 15 rounds, but it came with 2 magazine extensions which look like they should increase them to 17. Haven`t loaded them up yet.

im loving the amount of videos out lately, just need time to watch them all
I have the PO7 Duty in 9mm and absolutely love this gun. Extremely accurate out of the box. I'm a big guy with big hands and I love the grip. Was surprised to hear smaller hands like it as well. Having said that, all of Nutn's comments about sharp edges, sights, lack of accessories are all true. However, I've had no problems with the edges snagging on anything in real use.

NEED a P-09 review ASAP. You're the best!
I love my P07 duty! I just had to work out the kinks. Deburr and smooth out slide, extractor, and take a little off the slide stop so it doesn't touch the rounds. Runs flawlessly and super accurate!
Love your vids nutn! You do a fantastic job!
I have the CZ 75 p07 duty and love it! Zero malfunctions. Cz manual recommends using the mag to push out the takedown pin. Field striping not bad once you get use to it. I highly recommend this pistol.

damn right mate. got the same model and love the shit out of it.
I bought one of these in 9mm. Love it to bits!
There are not extended mags specific to the P07 Duty, But you can use the P09 mags which are 19rds. . . or you can get mag extensions from CZ or CZ Custom shop which will take your factory mags to 20rd mags.
I had the 9mm and no problem with any factory rounds the whole time I had it. Everything else you said was correct on extra magazines, etc. I gave it to my brother as a gift since he needed a pistol and the PO-7 was my cheapest pistol.
Great video. I was looking at the CZ P-07 and the CZ 75B both in 9mm and you gave me a lot of good info if I decide to purchase. BTW, I had a PPQ .40 and it failed to go into battery as your P-07 .40 did "all the time." I got so frustrated with it that I traded it to my local gun dealer for a XDs 9mm. that gun has it's own issues but that is another story..
Nice review. Thanks for the detail.
I bought a P-07 in the 9 mm variant because of the failure to feed issue in the .40 cal. I read a couple of articles that stated they had an issue with certain FMJ angles.
That being said, I have really enjoyed my 9 mm. Shoots very nice and accurate. First shot out of the box at 25 yards was dead center bulls eye.
I plan on buying an inside waistband holster that is molded for this gun. There are a number of them on the market now.
Overall good gun.
I liked the video without even watching because I've been waiting since late October for this review, thanks!
I haven't read through all five hundred or so comments or anything so this may have been mentioned, but the floor plate of the magazine works perfectly for taking the slide pin out. Also another mention for one in 9mm with zero problems
From working at a large-retail store that sells this model (in 9mm), customers who hold the gun really like the way that this gun feels in hand. A lot of people are bugged by the low slide when they try to charge it, but their love for the ergonomics tends to outweigh this.
Also something interesting to note is that the safety can only be engaged when hammer is cocked. The safety does not decock the pistol either.
I love the "Allie, shut up!" in the middle xD Great review!
Thanks for the review. I have a p-07 in 9mm and have not had a single feed problem yet after about 1000 rounds, though it's all been brass-cased ammo. As usual, the rest of your review is spot-on. It's comfortable to shoot with ergos similar to a 1911. Mags are painful to load and expensive. Overall, it's been a positive purchase for me.

Hey +nutnfancy can you do a review on the new CZ P07 (2014 Model) in 9mm?
Damn bro, you read my mind.
Didn't know another name for the CZ is 'XDM' ;) Love the reviews, Nutn! Keep 'em comin!
Funny story...I watched this review when it came out. A short time later I bought a P-07 in .40 Just re-watched the review 12/2015, and based on your final comments, I asked myself why I bought it in the first place!

I just bought one of these I cant wait to go and pick it up!!
Thanks for another fun & honest review!
Cool review, thanks for the effort!! I have about 800rnd through mine, no issues but I did smooth the side before I got busy per your review, Some stuff is hard to find, but overall, my favorite carry pistol, Good job guys!!
aaah makes sense. thank you for the reply! and thanks for your service!
i have one of these on order in 9mm, thanks to this review. can't wait!

Just got this blue gun in a week ago for the CZ P07 Duty as I design custom concealment kydex holsters and even the blue gun makes you want to have one. The looks are amazing
"thanks for your friendship" thats the nicest thing you have ever said to me nutn :')
Got a CZ P07 in OD Green, after the fix to frame bulge and mag-drop. I went for it cuz I wanted something more carriable over the CZ 75B which has always been solid for me. CZ compact and P01 just aren't easy to find around here. P07 vs G19 was my debate when purchasing, I went CZ cuz it's what I favored in my hand. Good gun.
Nutn, great review. Thanks for the info on the reliabilty issue/slide coating.
I have a .40 p07 that I've put over 2k of Win white box through,as well as other loads. No failures or problems. Got a IWB holster from Crossbreed tat is great, love this gun.
I agree. Just felt like putting that info out there since quite a few pistols w/ hammers and safeties have the safety decock the weapon.
The P-09 magazines (19-round capacity) *do* fit the P-07 very nicely. When I'm shooting my P-07, I take my P-09 mags with me to get a few extra shoots between reloads. They extend below the grip a little (like about as much as the G21 mags do when used with the G30), but not much.

I've had this gun in my hands so many times... now I want it even more!
Longtime subscriber, 1st time commentor. I really enjoyed the review/comments on the P-07. I'm a big CZ fan but don't own one yet.

Wow I'm glad I went with my xdm 3.8 after watching this review thanks nutn for the review
Great vid Nut! i noticed that the first target you showed said XDM on the top just noticed check the comments and i guess no one else noticed.. Also was just wondering if you where going to do any more vids on any of the HK's im a big fan of hk and would love to see some more vids!
Great review, as always. Keep on keepin' it real.
Thanks for the (as always) honest review Nutn. Shame the gun wasn't reliable for you. I'm honestly not a huge CZ fan, just don't dig 'em (2nd kind of cool) but good info here for those considering this gun! BTW, are you testing some Gen 4 Glocks now too!? I've just ordered a Gen 4 G17 for my 1st pistol and would love to see your thoughts on those guns too. Hope to get a review on them soon but I know you're busy. Keep up the great work man. long live TNP!
hope we can see a P-09 review to go with this.
I've got the new model P07 and its a great gun.
Loved you leaving in the Allie part in there!!!
You can take a file to the notch at the end of the slide stop to make it removable with a thumb. What you want to accomplish is changing the "U" where the retention springs rests into a ramp with a half-notch at the bottom so the spring can still do its job. Making a ramp as opposed to just filing it down straight will ensure that the massive tension of the spring will keep the slide stop in the gun even if it is somehow knocked loose.
Thanks for the review and vid nutn.
Nice i was going off their website.. as the site says *prices may vary from store to store*..
hopefully CZ figured out the slide rail problems, happy shooting to ya
Nutn, I love your reviews...
Like the mostly unbiased "exception to glocks" reviews.
I wish you had done one on the 9mm
Out of all my pistols USP, PPS, P239 my duty is my absolute favorite, probably because I shoot it well.
Here's another
" please review the 9mm"
Comment.
I'm buying my first full size pistol because i have a Bersa thunder .380 which you gave a 10/10 on your review and also i have a 20 gauge Remington 870 express mag and i am buying the normal p-07 not the reduced length duty.
Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.
Have had no problems with my P-07 Duty in 9mm.
Just received my Autographed shell casing in the mail; Thanks Nutn, thanks Doodle.
I own the gun as well for almost a year now. Put more than a 1000 rounds through it. I love it. Previously I owned a 1911. I really was worried about how it would be to move to the duty, but it's an awesome gun, very accurate very light weight. I love it. so far, more than 1000 rounds and not even a hiccup (NO FTF/FTE) all smooth. BTW, I have the 9mm gun.
Thanks for the video! Great info on the duty. CZ is a great company
Thanks for your honesty
Thanks for the video! Great info
Just curious, the first target you lay on the table is Labeled XDM 40. Are you wanting to see who is paying attention, or was that just an error on your part?
How about a P09 review?
p-07 does have 32 round extended clips available thru pro-mag. They are easier to load, but have issues with feeding when over 27 rounds
CZ recommends using the base of the magazine to push out the slide stop when field stripping.
Have you considered do a review and the second gen of this gun. I just sent my early model 07 in for issues. I believe I will be getting a NIB 07. Its my understanding that several issues have been addressed
Hey nutn, the Czech Police uses the P01, not the 07. Just a friendly heads up.
Nutn, I got my Christmas present, the TLR-4 (light and laser), installed on my .40 CZ P-07 Duty. The on/off/momentary switch has maybe 1/16" before it makes contact with the trigger guard. Love it. Picked up some Fiocchi 165gr JHP.
Looked in this catalog today at the Fort Bliss gun counter located inside the PX and saw some interesting things.
I am so glad I picked up the Phantom instead of this p-07. The sp-01 is much sexier! Thanks again for the great advice and thorough reviews, and they are never too long.
What about the mag release issue and the bulging issue?
I have one in 9mm, no failures but the mag has never dropped free
Nice. I just bought one and I can't wait.
+1 would love to see an update review on the updated P07 model & for that matter, the P09 full size big brother; just make it a 2fer quicky.
While I am making a wishlist, would LOVE to have a Barnes Precision Machine BPM-15 5.56 Wylde 18in & .300BLK pistol as well as the newly introduced LR-10 .308 battle rifles on your table.
Known to be excellent 3gun & comp machines but I wonder how they fair in rough & tumble hard usage & far too few user reviews online.
Know your dislike of reviewing much the same again AR platforms but they are THE only company that gives me exactly the options & niche features (18in SS button rifled barrels, Wylde chambering, rifle & midlength gas options, factory freefloat non-quad handguards, larger barrel nut for extra support, tensionable upper & lower receiver, etc) I want (imagine everyone could benefit) in one package at less ridiculous prices nearly all machined in house in the USA.
Love to see a .45 vs 10mm shootout as well.
Thanks for the entertaining informed opinion deduced from data & testing as always.
Cheers
I have to agree with Angus, the P-07 in 9mm is superb. The only problem I had was the paint on the front sight chipped off after a couple of years, I went to a red fiber optic and now I like the P-07 more than ever. I've run it in all weather and never once had any kind of failure, I can't say that about my Glocks or my H&K USP. The ergonomics of this gun inspires confidence which becomes evident on your target, give the P-07 9mm a try and I'm sure you'll enjoy similar success.
I found for my purposes that if you push the corner of the rubber base plate against the pin, it will push through about 1/4 inch and the you can just pinch with your fingers and pull out, no tools required.That's me on my P 01 but all the CZs are the same.
About the failure to feed issues: I owned a CZ 2075 RAMIP in .40 s&w. I had the exact same issues. It would fail to feed at least once per magazine. I finally realized that the lips on the sides of the magazine were cutting into the case of the round causing it to hang up. It seems almost as if the top of CZ's .40 cal magazines is not wide enough. I purchased the P07 in 9mm afraid i would have the same problems but to my relief i have fired 800 rounds through it with zero failures. Great Gun!
Just an observation: (The lady in the videos uses the "tea cup & saucer" grip when shooting a hand gun.)
I've wanted a CZ of some sort for years. The fit my hand like no other handgun I've held. Another great review. Thanks.
Got one on Black Friday, my first gun, couldn't be happier.
Have the .40 loading problems been fixed for 2013? I'm looking to get one for myself as a all around and concealed carry. Yours is the only review I have found mentioning the reliability problems.
Great review as always thanks for keeping it real.
Haven't put many rounds through mine yet, but as my first pistol, and future duty weapon it has been great to shoot with.
Today, I picked up the "Blackhawk Nylon Ambidextrous holster with mag pouch" at a sporting goods store. It is black and comfortable. I chose the size '05'. I like that it is ambi since I am left-handed when firing.
I digtheCZ line of guns, all of em rock!
I have this gun in 9mm it works great havent had any problems with it the only thing i dont like is the price of extra mags they were 42 bucks other wise the price was good got it for 450 with free tactical light you should try it in 9mm think it will run good keep up the good videos!!
Thanks for the reviews! Please consider the PTR-91, would love to hear you teams opinion of it.
The reason they call these midsize auto loaders like the Glock 19 and the p07 duty dates back a long time. When most automatic handguns consisted of a 4.5"-5" barrel and had large grips. People didn't use to conceal handguns and didn't really care about their size. The word compact means "smaller than" so they are compact. Just not by much. I can say though. A Glock 19 is easier to carry than a Glock 17. Then we get into the term "sub-compact" which is a difficult definition that basically means "smaller than smaller" that's where the Glock 26, PM9 and other such actual compact pistols fall into. I personaly usually call a Glock 19/23 a midsize though. If you say compact to someone, they usually assume 2 finger grip pocket rocket pistols.
I won't keep a gun in my inventory that can't cycle factory ammo properly. There is just no reason to put up with that. Some guns need to be broken in, but after that it must run reliably otherwise it's a lemon. Thanks for yet another great review Nutn!!
