  • It's been a while since I directly addressed what my carry gun is. Yeah, I've done a little shuffling of pistols the last couple of years, but for the last almost 2 years I've carried a CZ75, or a variation of the design, as my defensive pistol. I break it all down in this video for you.

      @Jason Somers If it's too heavy get a better belt and holster. I currently carry a Smith&Wesson M&P 2.0 9mm 5 inch fully loaded with 124 grain xtp. Is it heavy yes, but I have no problem carrying it even with my plain thick leather work belt and country style belt buckle. I'm using a basic polymer holster and its steel clips ate about 5 inches apart. I put the clips on either side of my 3 o'clock belt loop of my jeans and run my belt through clip loop clip and dont have any issues that way. It is very comforting having a 5 inch barrel with 18 total rounds in the pistol and another 17 on standby giving me 35 rounds on my person with only 1 backup mag.

I have a P-01, P-07 nad G19 and of the 3 the P-07 is my favorite over-all. I love the Glock cause... well it's a Glock. I'm pretty sure I could rebuild several internal parts from a soup-can and it's just bare-bones reliable. THe P-01 is an ergonomic wonderland with the LOK Palm-swell grips but for a CARRY gun, the P-07 is like a combo of the two guns IMO. It's lighter and polymer like the GLock but it has similar ergos and equal accuracy to the P-01 and mine's chugged through over 5K rounds in almost 5 years and never had a single failure (it even feeds reliably from my P-01 and SP-01 mec-gar mags HA). If you go P-07 OR P-01 you can't go wrong.

      Britian fought WWII from the first day to the last day.

      @Bokehify How dare you sir. You do realize that Nazism was a bigger problem at the time, correct? He used the Soviets as allies against the Nazis because he knew it was the necessary evil for Britain to succeed, and afterwards, he basically turned on the commies to fix that problem. Churchill was a classic liberalist and loathed communism and socialism since he was old enough to understand it, so that tells you how dire things were at the time.

      @@MH-nu4ip OK, nazi. Everyone knows Winston was a wardaddy, he had a thirst that only the strongest men have today. Shame on YOU for spreading deceitful information. "Ohhuehuehue they wanted peace and happiness" - Was this before or after Hitler planned his invasion of the Polish homeland, a nation to which Great Britain and France had guaranteed military support if it were attacked by Germany thus starting WW2? Mind you A.H. signed the Treaty of Versailles 19 years prior to END a world war. He only signed it so they wouldn't get wiped off the map, they were losing badly so he signed it and released the countries they overtook. I remind you that Germany opted to support Austria while France and Britain HAD to honor their treaties with Russia when the Austrians took that assassination ordeal personally(naturally) and marched on the Serbs, this included Churchill. You assume I praise Churchill blindly? Mistaking my praise for Churchill as if I held him to the highest of angel-like standards as a significant political party member as if he weren't a high ranking military officer with a sworn duty to his homeland? He was instrumental in winning the great war, he shaped Allied strategy in the war, and in the war's later stages he alerted the West to the expansionist threat of the Soviet Union. Hitler simply took it too far and got his ass kicked as a result, he couldn't even face his enemy, he took the coward's way out, something Churchill would've never done.

  • @rjfirefly5513

    I own a CZ PCR, I love it. However, after investigating many UA-cam videos I was surprised to find a design flaw which TYM, Hickock, GunsNGear, and MAC never mentioned:The stock roll pin from the factory which detains the firing pin is too soft. Often dry firing or even normal use will gouge it and ultimately break it.CZs should only be dry fired with snap caps, some people even put a little rubber O-ring over the firing pin in the rear if they wish to practice technique with dry firing.The best fix is apparently to order a hardened roll pin from Cajun Gun works. I noticed some parts breaking on CZs detailed in other UA-cam videos by real CZ heavy users.The big gun channels and fan boys never mentioned the roll pin issue or other issues.

This is by far the most accurate handgun I shoot with and with the CGW pro package it is a smooth joy to shoot. One thing above the sights and the pro package I did was the CGW 10x barrel bushing. It locks that barrel in tight reducing play and lending to a little bit more accuracy.

I can loosen it when my weight is up and pull it tight when I’m carrying. I believe You will like the belt system if not the rigid belt. I have been looking just recently for a po1 (yeah, good luck). I had to check with You first. Your take on something is almost gospel and I wanted to make sure my entire hand fit on it. You have answered my questions.

      When I first came to Appendix carry I was very hesitant in the position, I initially carried an M&P 9 with Thumb Safety and then moved to a P30L LEM for the hammer. I currently carry Glock 17/19/34 loaded chamber and all depending on the day. I visually and physically check the mouth of the holster prior to holstering, if it isn't safe to do that then why am I putting my firearm away? Also with the holsters that I carry AIWB with currently you can lean back while pressing the hips forward and alleviate the "Danger" of shooting yourself. People that get wrapped around the axle about loaded chambers and AIWB and Striker fired weapons should likely reconsider carrying a gun in the first place. That said there's nothing wrong with a hammer fired weapon. I plan to move to a CZ for Competition and want to master the DA/SA class of guns for my personal achievement. JM Custom Kydex and Keepers Concealment only AIWB holsters I endorse.

  • @trexnoises4071
    @trexnoises4071 4 роки тому +4

    After alot of research on what fire arm i wanted to carry i decided on the p01 recently. I love everything about it. Its got a very cool retro look but has the reliability, accuracy and ergonomics to place it among the best carry pistols in today's competition. When i was deciding, it was between this and the glock 19. One of the advantages of the glock was 15 rds vs 14. However when I got my p01 I noticed mine came from cz with 2, 15 rd mags. Anybody else get one like this? Is it a new thing? And do they make a 40 model now cause my mags say 15 9mm on one side and 11 .40 on the other. Anyways I totally recommend this gun to anyone on the fence about it. The aluminum frame in my opinion makes it feel slightly more balanced than polymer pistols and it shoots like a dream. 250 rds, 0 malfunctions. The tfx pro sights are amazing when put on this gun, however because of the angle of the sights or maybe the barrel or slide it seems like i have to aim the muzzle a little higher to get my rounds where I want them to go. Anybody experience this?

    • @MilsurpMikeChannel
      @MilsurpMikeChannel 7 років тому +1

      My main carry is a Beretta 92fs compact inox. I love it, but may consider a CZ as I have become more interested in changing out sights (the front sight on my Beretta is fixed).

    • @spankysbasement
      @spankysbasement 7 років тому

      Milsurp Mike - That is a good point on the Beretta, which is why I was looking at this one. www.wilsoncombat.com/berettawilson-92g-brigadier-tactical/
      It's a bit pricey for a Beretta, but it's not much different than a pistol from CZ custom shop. I paid just a little less for my P30. Which, the only reason I want to replace it is capacity and my P30 is 40cal.
      Now I don't mind 40 at all, especially this Hk. It's much smoother than any other I've shot. However with the new rounds that are out now, 9mm is more viable than ever. IMO 40 is a better caliber but I'd rather have the capacity. Plus after shooting my buddies 92 and SP01 better than my Hk, I'm sold.

    In my family we have several long guns, but I or we never purchased a hand gun. My wife and I have been talking about buying one for months, so I researched the Glocks, S&W's, Sprinfields brands. I was looking for a shield type for the comfort factor for my wife's hands. Then we went to a local dealer and looked at all those mentioned brands and my wife liked them, but said the grips just felt okay. The salesman asked if we tried a CZ, but we said no. So he showed us the P-01 and the SP-01 and immediately my wife said those 2 guns felt the most comfortable than the previous guns and I agreed, plus she was most comfortable with the safety of the double action hammer and decocker that the others do not have. We live in California and everything is on backorder now, but the P-01 is the handgun we are going to purchase. Thanks for the great review and the confirmation of our choice.

    The new PO1 Compacts now come with 15 round mags standard from CZ. The 14 round mags from my 75 compact work just fine in the PO1, as do the 16 round mags from my 75B full size. Both of those are all steel. The CZ 75 PO1 is the gun I've been waiting for. It is now my main carry gun. Although I don't like toy rails underneath my concealed carry firearms, I'm never sticking anything on a carry weapon, BUT, the extra weight right under the muzzle makes it a flat shooter and it is thee best looking gun with a rail on it I've ever seen. I have LOK Grips on mine & love the feel & look. Mine has an ambi decocker only on it. Not sure I like that, but it causes no problem other than I can feel it hit the leather holster a tad as I holster it. There was a kit in mine which I believe has the smaller decockers in it. I don't know if I can put the flatter one on the rights side & keep the big one on the left. The sights on mine, newer than yours slope back to the end of the frame & have a little ledge vs the straight up further forward kind. Adds length to the sight picture. They glow very bright when charged, but not Tritium. I might try a lighter spring to lighten the double action pull, but I don't mind the trigger on mine, it's not as hooked as the ones on my original CZ'S. if u know if I can just change decocker lever on right & not left, let me know. Nothing in manual about it. Thnx.

    I definitely understand thumbing the hammer as you re-holster. Have you looked at the Tau Development Striker Control Device for Glocks aka the ToddG Glock Gadget? It adds the function of letting you put your thumb on the back of the slide when re-holstering to prevent trigger movement the same way putting your thumb on the hammer of a DA/SA gun prevents trigger movement in case something like clothing or a jacket drawstring makes its way into the trigger guard.
