Anyone running the CZ P07?

[SSGN_Doc]

I tried to do a search but apparently "CZ" and "P07" are either too common or too small to be searchable words. So, forgive me if there is a big post on this somewhere, and I missed it.

I picked one of these up today and I had strongly considered buying it or the Beretta Px4 Compact. I went the Px4 route, during the rebates, as well as I just kind of liked the way the trigger felt a little bit more than I liked the CZ as they both came out of the box. Today though, I found a P07 that was marked used, but I'm 99% sure the only time it was fired was at the CZ factory, and I only think that because there is a test target. Anyway it was priced under $400, so i picked it up.

Curious to hear if anyone else is carrying it and what holsters they went with, along with any useful hints or modifications. I already anticipate spending some money with Cajun Gun Works, as I've used some of their parts to massage, my SP01.

Love my P07. Mine has an RMR milled in. I also have an older 07 Duty slide with Dawson FO front and black rear sights I use when I teach at the police academy. Did I mention I love that gun?

I bought a bunch of CGW parts and did the install myself using YouTube videos to show how to take apart, etc. no problems. I bought this kit: https://cajungunworks.com/product/p-...grade-package/

I also bought a steel guide rod.

I have a JMCK AIWB holster I use for everyday carry, a Bladetech (for a P09) DOS for competition and a Safariland ALS for police academy teaching. I think Tony (JMCK) has some/a 07 holster on his quick ship list. Yep, http://www.jmcustomkydex.com/p/COVER...ER-CZP-07.html

Thanks, for the input. I have a JMCK AIWB for my Px4 Storm Compact. So, I may go that route again.

Mine is stock. The last gun this easy to shoot was a 9mm 1911.

Mine is my duty weapon and thankfully Safariland makes an ALS for it. The trigger only feels so so but the rounds go where I want them.

I agree on the love. I really think you can not beat it for the price. Mine was bone stock and would flat out shoot. Traded in on a p320c. That was definitely a mistake. The accuracy was amazing on the p07 and the trigger continued to smooth out. You will be very happy with that guy for sure!

I have two, both set up pretty much identically with the same kit Lon mentioned. I also swapped out the sights using CZC black rears and Dawson FO fronts. I have had no problems with either pistol. One is used for work, the other for training/dryfire.

I primarily use Raven for OWB and JM for appendix holsters. These are my two favorite holster companies and pretty much are "go-to" for me.

I picked mine up shortly after shooting Mike Pannone's in a class and have been very happy with them. I do carry other pistols, depending on what I am doing that day, but the P07 certainly gets carried the most.

I have a P07 and while I have not even shot it yet, I have done quite a bit of dry fire practice with it. I like the feel of the trigger but I also feel the gun is a bit more bulky than my G19. The grip just doesn't seem to fit me right. I think I'll be sending it down the road.

I have one that I'm (slowly) putting through the 2,000 round challenge. My impressions are positive. No reliability issues yet. Trigger is a little gritty, but I'm sure that will wear in eventually. SA trigger has a bit of creep, and the trigger could use an overtravel stop, but definitely nothing worse than the GLOCK. Despite the trigger feel "issues" I shoot the P07 accurately and with better at-speed control than the GLOCKs that I've logged several decades and over 100,000 rounds of training ammunition through. The pistol shoots extremely "flat" - the front sight barely rises out of the rear sight notch in recoil, even when shooting outdoors in a moderately heavy rain.

I have a bunch of Cajun Gunworks parts waiting to install, just haven't gotten around to it yet. Disassembly is definitely more complicated than a GLOCK - I was pitching a bitch just to get it field stripped - and haven't been able to figure out how to remove the backstrap yet - I think I need a third hand or some kind of mechanical assist device. Sight options are EXTREMELY limited - you have stock, you have Dawson FO, or Dawson NS. CZC has NS as well, but I believe they're Dawson produced. Not that Dawson sights are bad - but there's not any high-visibility NS available (HDs, Ameriglos, etc). I expect this will change if the P10C catches on - sight dovetails are common between the two pistols.

Overall, I really like this pistol, and think it's a viable hammer-fired alternative to the G19 benchmark.

I carried a P-07 for about a year; it replaced an HK P2000 V3 when I got tired of the euro mag release. The P-07 was an upgrade, in my opinion, carried well, accurate, reliable, a great AIWB carry gun. I replaced it with the PX4CC because the Beretta slide is taller, has a greater gripping surface and is much easier to manipulate. I shot a course in Florida where we had a light rain all day, so wet hands, wet pistol. The P-07 slide was tough to deal with during some of the drills. The PX4 is super-easy to manipulate, as well as meeting all my criteria for a carry gun. You can see the difference in slide heights here:

I have a Px4 Compact that is my current carry pistol. I don't know that the P07 will replace it, but it certainly seems like a very good contender so far. I agree on the surface area o the Px4, I just wish the serrations were as aggressive as the ones on the CZ. The roundness of the Px4 also seems to lend itself to not printing as much as a more squared off pistol.
