    I bought my P01, installed a CGW trigger job, and have put 4000 rounds through it with only 1 malfunction due to weird ammo that none of my guns liked. The trigger that was already the best of all my guns, is now the smoothest and fastest after 4000 rounds. Definitely an excellent firearm that has been more reliable than even my Glocks.

    The biggest problem with the P-01 is it's expensive. Not expensive to buy, expensive to feed because it eats ammo like Rosie O'Donnell in a Hershey candy store. It's one of the most fun guns I have to target shoot.

    I replaced my Glock 43X with a P-01. It’s night and day. And the G43X was properly modified for daily carry. A SCD (striker control device), shield arms 15 round mag, and a Trijicon RMRcc, and a super slick Kydex holster. Even with the SCD, I carried it strong side. Not having a striker fired gun pointed at my junk. No thanks.
    Bone stock, the P-01 is awesome. Looking for an edge, I shipped mine to Cajun Gun Works for their professional hand fitting and a barrel bushing. Now? It is simply amazing. 7# DA, 3# SA. Added a TLR-8a light / green laser combo along with a Southern Trapper leather holster and carry it AIWB.

      A stock S2C and a P-01 with a CGW upgraded trigger are nearly identical in all aspects, except for weight. In fact, the upgraded P-01 trigger is slightly better than the S2C trigger. The Shadow can also get the CGW treatment, though, which will make it even better.

Cajun gun works Short reset, I also put a tungsten rod in it and changed the springs in it and then it's decocker only. There's no safety and it's amazing. Very cheat code. I love it. All in, I think it cost me $1,200 which is still less than what a sig legion would cost me or something like that. I would not recommend doing the trigger yourself It sucks. I didn't particularly care for that at all. It still eats anything. Just the shittiest ammo on earth. It just eats it

    Is there any reason why you didn't shoot paper so we could see any accuracy this P-01 provides instead of you pulling the trigger ?

    • @ATexCate
      @ATexCate  Рік тому +1

      The P01 is accurate based on its balance, mechanisms, and return to 0 when held and fired correctly. Allowing for a repeatable return of accuracy per a human performing proper control. Anyone shooting paper with their hands and claiming to be able to determine accuracy of the firearm is a contradictive and completely improper experiment to which no valid result can be determined as it is subjective and an uncontrolled environment/variables. To test the theory of the actual accuracy of the barrel itself, it would need to be on a vice, and either fired by an mechanism (inducing 0 human error in trigger pull), or so viced down its impossible.
      Does that answer your question?

    • @ATexCate

      Are you saying it doesn’t reset after the first trigger pull? As in pulls double action, then nothing? I’m confused because the double action doesn’t reset after the first shot, it’s all single after that. If you’re shooting soft ammunition and a high Lb spring it may not be cycling all the way either.
      I think your only issue here is possibly just your recoil spring may be too heavy for your ammunition. What ammo/spring are you using.

      the hammer spring will just determine how HARD that pin gets hit and how hard the DA pull is. lower the poundage on the hammer spring for a lighter DA pull. the pairing of the two is meant for a light hammer spring with an extended firing pin: result is a very light DA pull that hits the hammer a lot lighter, so the extended firing pin guarantees it travels far enough to strike the primer. if you drop the hammer spring to 11 you still don't need the extended pin. at that point it comes down to type of ammunition/primer used.

Unless you have a significantly practiced skill of shooting guns that small, and the 43 is the worst of them in recoil impulse, and a horrible trigger in comparison. I’ve had more than 5 people this past year who showed up to train with a 43. Sucked so bad with it I took it away. And gave them ANYTHING else. And they went from nothing on paper at 7 yards. To dead nuts. All 5 of them.
      2 of them went from that to my P01 and got the upper result. I personally hate the 43 in the hands of anyone who isn’t an intermediate to advanced shooter who’s willing to put stupid time into practicing with an unnecessarily hard hitting micro like that. Too many new shooters out there with them, who will never train with it because it’s no fun to shoot, and they can’t hit anything with it.

YMMV but my pre-covid model had the firing pin break shortly after 200 rounds. it has a "good" after market but not having three quarters of an inch of slop or an eighth of an inch of trigger wall that breaks at ??? point or a firing pin retaining pin that doesn't peen until it's broken or a brittle steel trigger spring that could snap or become damaged if you breathe on it funny should be things you get from the factory especially for $500-$650, I couldn't even get the thing to group tighter than 6 inches at 7 yards - so much for flat and precise lol lmao even - even with a heavier recoil spring to dampen the factory snappiness and a full trigger, hammer, and sear job.

    It’s very frustrating that this company can not keep up with the demand. They are Sold Out Everywhere. It makes me think that as a company not keeping up production with demand is a huge red flag 🚩 for future growth and sustainability. Just a thought.

      Hmm niche? Or world renounced.
      Love a tanfo! Respect your opinion!
      But no. From me that’s a no. ESPECIALLY reliability wise.
