In south africa u only get one gun to choose as a self defense pistol under the firearms control act .....while my mind told me glock ....my heart told me cz p07 .... since thn ive never looked back....about 1200 rounds through ths gun n i love it . Amazing single action for a edc gun , double action is decent ... very robust and well built ....another piece of Czechnology !
Good day sir, i am also from SA, Johannesburg specifically, i ask this as i notice your post is quite recent. After all this covid issues finally blows over and we hopefully get back to something resembling normality i want to attempt to get a firearm and licence for myself also. Though i have no idea how to do this, i feel like going to a local police station for info will not really help me and i have not yet really looked but i dont know of any reputable gun stores/training centers in my area, i can imagine they are few and far between. Can you possibly just briefly outline the steps on must take here in SA? thank you in advance.
Solomon Grundy years ago I spoke with a pilot from the Suid Afrikaanse Luchdienst and hé told me that hé carried a tokarev TT33. I was a bit amazed but hé said, crazy loud and the bullet will go to 2 or maybe 3 attackers....... euh ok🤔🤪
@@jameshall3339 I’m a year late but I have owned the CZ-P10c since mid August and I love it, it’s my carry so I don’t have any mods, but I want to get a P-07, I’m very fond of my experience with CZ
@@dhp4073 sorry for the late response, but august of 2020 I paid $530 plus a box of Federal HST, I think with tax and all it was like $603. So a little more than a Glock 19 (it’s direct competition) but in my eyes I’m glad I shelled out a little more
I was at a range this morning to do the first pistol shooting I've done in years. A friend brought his Beretta Nano and we rented a Glock 19 and the CZ P07. With the Glock, my shots we're reliably down and to the right. But with this CZ, I had really nice groupings every single time. I was surprised at the difference in the results. This was really a pleasure to shoot.
This is an excellent handgun!!! Bought one last month that apparently had a “broken safety” for 199$.took it to the range and after the 3rd shot the safety clicked and started to work.gun fixed itself lol and not to mention VERY reliable and accurate.what a steal for 200$!!!
Wait until you're above 5.000 rnds with it. Everything smooths down to crispy butter. It was pretty gritty and stagy at first, but that's in the past now.
CZ produce excellent firearms, the PO7 has been a favourite since first released. Carried CZ75 as a duty pistol for 3yrs in hostile environment, never let me down! The MCarbo spring kits are well worth investment for all firearms they cover. 👍👍
The P07 is an EXCELLENT handgun! The P01 is also an EXCELLENT handgun from CZ. I prefer the P01 due to the slightly smaller size and the AMAZING grip that it has. But you CANNOT go wrong with the P07 at all. CZ FOREVER!!!
LOVE mine for the last three years. I wish they would come out with the urban grey in just a regular P07. Not the suppressor ready with giant sights and threaded barrel.
Great review, Sarge! I'm late to the CZ line of pistols, I admit, but I'm all in on them now! And you're right, that single-action trigger pull is sweet! 😍
My P07 has about 1200 rounds through it. I have a few CGW parts in it and I hade the back strap stippled. It is an outstanding handgun. The CZ P series handgun triggers really get better with use. It is my main conceal carry while on Army National Guard duty.
@@SargeC4Defense its very rare around my area. It was the last one. Bought it as soon as i turned 21. Still working like new. And made some mag extensions with my 3D printer. 18+1 round capacity now.
I love my P07 I did swap out the de-cocker for the SA safety catch, the trigger pull is around 3.5 to 4 pounds in SA, I have nerve damage and muscle atrophy and dexterity issues in my left hand (injured veteran) and there was no way I could pull the trigger in double action, now it's perfect, both hand or weak hand, strong hand, it's more like a light fast competition trigger now. Although the reset is a little weird the trigger moves forward about 10mm to the audible click reset then travels back 5mm to hit the wall again. (which really means it wasn't really reset? Just weird). But if you shoot fast you don't notice.
I got the OD green one with the night sights on it. I picked up the M-Carbo trigger spring kit and the textured rubber grip. I haven't installed the springs yet. I need to get the proper punches and time. M-Carbo has a great video on installation of the spring kit. This is the best pistol I have ever owned. I don't much care for striker fired pistols. I usually carry revolvers, but this pistol fits my large hands perfectly and is a dream to shoot. I have owned around a dozen or so handguns, no junkers. Yet, this pistol suits me very, very well. Thanks for the great video!
I got the spring kit from MCarbo and it made a big difference. Love the gun. Sent mine off to Jager Works to get milled for a holosun. Only thing I’m not a fan of is the grip is a little slick. Added some talon grip tape. Made a big difference.
The da/sa platform is what I prefer. This cz po7 is one of my favorites right next to my beretta m9a4 centurion. Trigger is almost as smooth especially with hundreds of rounds through it trigger gets better and better.
@@patrickcreamer9947 I paid around $480 for mine a few years back...I'm not sure on the size comparison of the ppq though...I will say it is not really an easy gun to conceal very well but I still love it!
Everyone should have one my wife took mine to get her concealed carry license and the instructor fell in love. She hit everything and she is a first time no gun range practice
Thinking of trading my G19 Gen 5 for this gun. My local shop has one for a good price. I love my P10C and think I’m becoming a CZ fanboy! Should I do it?
BlackConservative if you want probably the best hammer fired G19 sized handgun, yes. Just make sure you like the DA/SA trigger pull. The single action is smooth as can be.
JAQK thanks but the Glock is sold. I believe they are great but why settle. Once upon a time Glocks were it in the 80s but now with so many polymer options that are just as reliable, have better ergos in my hand, that I shoot better than the Glock, now have after market options, better triggers like the P10 and VP9 the list goes on. I couldn’t justify just settling. After I purchased that P10C, have guns like my M9A3, VP9, FN 509 Midsize, and my two 1911s, the Glock got zero play. That’s for me. That’s the beauty of today’s market. When Glock came out they were it. I honestly believe the ONLY reason people push Glocks is they have that long history of track record and the after market support...but if firearms like the P10C and VP9 had its history Glock would be out of business...the CZ 75 platform does have an extensive history like Glock, so I’m confident in my decision
@@RepentorPerish77 I agree. I have owned everyone of them guns and I love my cz po7 and I have a cz p10 s I carry sometimes. But I always go back to the glock. It feels better in my hand and I shot them better for whatever reason. Aftermarkrt support is plentiful. Mags are plentiful and cheap. Very versatile gun with so much support behind it makes it the best gun in my opinion. Not taking away from the other polymer guns. Outv the box alot if them are better then the glock but at the end of the day what I stated matters more too me.
@@SargeC4Defense no, they do extend a bit, I don't carry them in the gun, but use as my spare mags, my P-07 is my EDC. Nice to have backup 19 rounders, and they have a big lip on the front, easier to pull out of my pocket. Been running them for a few years, never had a ftf or fail to lock back. Plus I have an SP-01 so its a win win. The CZ factory mags for SP-01do NOT even lock in.
While I do love the p07 and p09 I've moved on to the P10 Optics ready model. The 4.5 lb trigger on all shots just wins over a 10lb double action first pull. I know you can reduce the pull. I have my shadow 2 competition gun down to 5.5 DA and 1.75lb SA. The problem is it only runs on federal primers. The p07 p09 guns price should be reduced to sub $400 to keep the p10 series from making them obsolete.
C4 Defense I would of preferred the 2nd version because of upgrades to slide. The new one is more rounded, more comfy to carry along with back-straps and eliminating of lanyard loop, but this one runs so well im afraid to swap it out.
The firing pin block blocks the firing pin, when at rest, EVEN if you lower the hammer "cowboy style". The firing pin is only free to move forward when the trigger is pulled.
I may have a different generation P07 but mine operates the same as C4 Defense. If I use the decock lever, the hammer does not go all the way down, but if I manually decock, it goes all the way forward.
Just in case you reload .... The chamber in my P07 is shorter than the Glock 19. Reloads that work fine in the G19 won't chamber in the P07. Watch your OAL. The aftermarket parts for the P07 seem fairly limited too. Wish Trijicon made the HD sight to fit this pistol.
Buying and installing the Mcarbo spring kit and doing the internal parts polishing of my P-07 as per the Mcarbo UA-cam video, made the trigger, especially the S/A so smooth. a great firearm....large enough for target and competition use , and compact enough for EDC. I use a Aliengear 2.0 IWB holster for my carry holster.
Going to do the same with mine. Got the kit, now I need to make the time. I love this pistol. I prefer a hammer over a striker fired pistol. I also like the decocker.
Looking for a do it all that doesn't require upgrades out of the box and this seems to fit the bill. As a side piece/fun gun I'm considering the Girsan Hi Power copy. I've heard nothing but good things about that, any thoughts?
@@patrickmcglynn5383 I have a OD green P07. It's a rare gem that you will never get rid of. Out the box it's a bit tight..so don't be surprised. After a few boxes of ammo and clean/lube you're good to go..definitely a Gloc killer.
Just a heads up: Try not to dry fire it so much. Your Firing pin retaining pin will get pretty chewed up. I believe you can purchase more durable pins form CZ Custom or Cajun Gun works though.
@@SargeC4Defense At all, really. I would pop it out and inspect it to be sure. I would recommend picking up the titanium one up from CGW either way. Just an extra peace of mind.
Hey Sarge, Thanks for the product review. I was considering the P-07 because I want to practice with with 22LR ammo with the P-07 Kadet Kit 22LR conversion slide. I really hope you get a chance to do a review.
I bought the 22 LR Kadet Kit for my P07 and it’s a blast (no pun intended). Super fun to rapid fire ten rounds with no recoil; and without emptying your bank account.
I have the P07 Duty, P07 tactical and the P10C along with a bunch of other brands. The CZ's are my go to guns and the P07 Duty is my main EDC. I prefer the harder DA trigger since i carry appendix. It s just a warm fuzzy really :). The worst thing i've ever done gun wise was to buy a CZ. They have ruined me for other guns and I just can't seem to stop buying them :) Thanks for the video I enjoyed it !!
@@eddierivera2908 No sir. I know some other guns had that issue but I don't think its that big of a deal. Even if mine did have it, it wouldn't bother me so much. Unless it was grossly bad enough to affect the guns performance , I probably wouldn't notice at all unless someone pointed it out to me. The performance and feel of the gun itself voids that issue for me. I could live with it :)
@@dbel723333 I agree I would not have checked until some mentioned it. Thanks for the response. Still considering the 2nd version only because it's more comfortable to carry as they improved on the edges of the firearm.
If you pull the trigger and release while holding the hammer it will go to the second catch when you control the hammer down. It won't rest on the pin. I prefer the safeties on my omegas because it gives me a thumb rest and I can grip higher. My long fingers always hit the side release causing it not to lock open. Or they ride the decocker letting the hammer down after each shot. Lol
@@SargeC4Defense One of the great things about CZs...options. I get it. I always wanted decocker because I didn't want to carry cocked and locked but a safety was one more step. So my compromise is half cocked and safety off. Love CZs
Heads up all... I am wrong. The extension are for 2 more rounds. Not just for more grip... my apologies... feel stupid carry a gun short on rounds... 🇺🇸👍 Thanks
Another one I can't miss with but it's in a 40 SW. Definitely switch out the decocker for the safety because it will highlight the Omega trigger which is one of the better triggers I've ever used. Even night sights illuminated by a flashlight last a while and because of their size the sight picture you just can't miss with this thing.
I can tell you 2 things from experience: 1.) MCarbo makes AWESOME stuff. 2.) Their P07 shooting kit is a GAME CHANGER. And it's only like $28.00 Do it!
2 questions: 1. What's the trigger pull in decocked mode? Is it still around 10 lbs, or is it in-between uncocked and single action? 2. Is there any way to carry it in uncocked mode (as opposed to decocked), with a bullet in the chamber (this question kind of flows from my first question, since I like the safety of a heavy initial trigger pull, with a chambered round, for an extra margin of safety against a negligent discharge)? Thanks.
@@SargeC4Defense Maybe my question was less articulate than it should've been. I don't want to carry it cocked. I want to carry it either decocked or uncocked. I know I can carry it decocked with a round already chambered, which is a nice combination of readiness and safety. I was just curious if the trigger pull is similar for uncocked vs. decocked, and, if decocked has a significantly lighter trigger pull, is it possible to have a round chambered in uncocked mode? If the two trigger pull weights are about the same, then my second question is moot.
@garybkatz The decocked pull is just a smidge better than fully uncocked, nearly unnoticable. You can swap out the decocker with the safety that it came with, that way you can carry cocked with one in the chamber. I wouldn't worry too much about the decocked pull, the double action trigger's pretty heavy and very difficult to pull by accident.
The p10 isn’t bad, but for many of us who have glocks out the ass, I just couldn’t bring myself to get one... on account of it being just another striker fired gun.... I nearly bought one twice, but both times I grabbed something different.... love cz though. What was the reason you sold the p10?
@@SargeC4Defense unfortunately I can't break it down myself so I can't get one. I'm looking at Hk P30 and a px4 storm compact and I have time to decide which one I want.
@@SargeC4Defense Same here, I admit Chris has put out some really good installation videos on UA-cam. Very informative and you learn a lot about how CZ pistols are put together. Worst case is you take it to your LGS/ gunsmith and they put the rest together for you. I actually enjoyed the polishing portion of it.
I did the spring kit from MCarbo and the short trigger reset from Cajun. Polished up all the components following MCarbo’s vids (which are awesome). The trigger isn’t as crisp as a Shadow 2 but it’s approaching that level of performance. Also added the rubberized grips from MCarbo.
please edit your videos differently. I forget what color filter it is, but the one that makes lines stand out is cranked to the max in all the video shots. It makes the screen looks so busy. Look at your shirt while shooting the CZ. It looks like you're wearing sandpaper because that's how exaggeraated the video is. Otherwise it's a good review, but it hurts my eyes.
and if there are some, that can not take alittle heavy pull. just for awhile . just put the gun down or trade it in . at the end of the day, if you make it. you will find something distinguished and Special. So pull those pants up, and get it done.

I'd rather have and external hammer and iron sights.
xithappens they’re both tried and true.
Nice video, good shooting, I love my P07
They are so underrated
I have the first version PO7 duty over 3,000 rds and not 1 hiccup !! These guns run and run well .
Frame bulge?
I had a P07 Duty, but I let my buddy talk me out of it
Ar Ov I have been lucky very very little on right side only. I wanted to attach a pic but couldn’t.
C4 Defense I would of preferred the 2nd version because of upgrades to slide. The new one is more rounded, more comfy to carry along with back-straps and eliminating of lanyard loop, but this one runs so well im afraid to swap it out.
Check out the new glo dome Night Fision night sights for the 07.
They sound seet.
Just got mine. I like it better than any glock ive owned
Have you shot it yet? Thinking of trading my G19 for it. If so what are your thoughts! I love my P10C
They are fantastic guns for the money. Top quality.
On the mags, CZ has gone to one mag for the P10 and P07. So the 15 round mag will fit the P07, Czech Made P10C and USA made P10C and P10S.
I picked one up myself
Claymore Did you mean P10C or P10F when referring to US made?
@@eddierivera2908 the mags are now the same for the p09 and p10f. As well as the p07 and p10c
Chang it from decocker to safety will improve the trigger big time.
True, nothing beats a single action trigger, but I like the DA/SA personally.
The firing pin block blocks the firing pin, when at rest, EVEN if you lower the hammer "cowboy style". The firing pin is only free to move forward when the trigger is pulled.
Steven Kendell please demonstrate
I may have a different generation P07 but mine operates the same as C4 Defense. If I use the decock lever, the hammer does not go all the way down, but if I manually decock, it goes all the way forward.
Just in case you reload .... The chamber in my P07 is shorter than the Glock 19. Reloads that work fine in the G19 won't chamber in the P07. Watch your OAL. The aftermarket parts for the P07 seem fairly limited too. Wish Trijicon made the HD sight to fit this pistol.
Hopefully Trijicon will step up their game
@@SargeC4Defense If I'm not mistaken, the urban gray P-07 comes with suppressor height sights from Trijicon.
Night Fision makes awesome sights for the P07.
I stopped using Trijicon once I found these.
Buying and installing the Mcarbo spring kit and doing the internal parts polishing of my P-07 as per the Mcarbo UA-cam video, made the trigger, especially the S/A so smooth. a great firearm....large enough for target and competition use , and compact enough for EDC. I use a Aliengear 2.0 IWB holster for my carry holster.
On a scale of 1-10, how difficult was it?
Going to do the same with mine. Got the kit, now I need to make the time. I love this pistol. I prefer a hammer over a striker fired pistol. I also like the decocker.
Planning on buying this for a first gun. Haven't heard a bad thing about it yet.
They’re definitely underrated.
Looking for a do it all that doesn't require upgrades out of the box and this seems to fit the bill. As a side piece/fun gun I'm considering the Girsan Hi Power copy. I've heard nothing but good things about that, any thoughts?
@@patrickmcglynn5383 I have a OD green P07. It's a rare gem that you will never get rid of. Out the box it's a bit tight..so don't be surprised. After a few boxes of ammo and clean/lube you're good to go..definitely a Gloc killer.
Very underrated gun, it used to be my EDC.
Completely underrated.
Let it stay that way. So the next gens dont end up costing $699 lol.
Ar Ov great point!!
I have one. Great Gun!
Heck yeah they are
Amazing gun and amazing shooting
These P07’s are completely underrated
@@SargeC4Defense
Do you still own it?
Just a heads up: Try not to dry fire it so much. Your Firing pin retaining pin will get pretty chewed up. I believe you can purchase more durable pins form CZ Custom or Cajun Gun works though.
Is that actually how that happens?
I'll look into it. And define too much?
@@arov500 Yep! CGW makes a titanium fprp for pretty cheap if you don't want to worry about it too much.
@@SargeC4Defense At all, really. I would pop it out and inspect it to be sure. I would recommend picking up the titanium one up from CGW either way. Just an extra peace of mind.
William Taylor I’ll look into it
im just a regular guy not youutby type. and i tell you this is a great gun stock and all.
That it is, that it is.
Hey Sarge,
Thanks for the product review. I was considering the P-07 because I want to practice with with 22LR ammo with the P-07 Kadet Kit 22LR conversion slide.
I really hope you get a chance to do a review.
That sounds interesting.
I bought the 22 LR Kadet Kit for my P07 and it’s a blast (no pun intended). Super fun to rapid fire ten rounds with no recoil; and without emptying your bank account.
Love the p07
Oh yeah, I couldn't do without it.
The more you shoot it the better it gets
The gun looks awesome 👏
😁
Yeah it’s a sweet gun no safety either lol
Awesome weapon. CZ makes some of the best pistols out there.
Agreed
Great firearm for sure. Be safe.
Does it Come in 9mm yes it is.
Love my P-09 and always wanted a P-07 ... My P-09 is in 40s&w ...
Although the capacity of the P09 is impressive, I like my P07 better.
@@SargeC4Defense , awesome, I still might consider a P-07, 9mm.
@@richki.24 I recommend it. I carry it everyday and it beats out my glock or HK any day
Great video Sarge! I loves me a CZ!! Just bought the new 15rnd mags for my p01 today 👍
Nice!!
I just purchased one today. It’s been crazy to find one during this pandemic
Maybe people are realizing how good of a value they are
How much did you pay for it, if you dont mind me asking
@@darioe9801 $420
@@SargeC4Defense thats a good deal, i paid 500 for mine yesterday not that good of deal as yours but mine is the tactical one
The trigger will loosen up after the break in. Mine is running around 7#s at 1500 rounds. Single is 3.5 #s.
I'm looking forward to it.
I have the P07 Duty, P07 tactical and the P10C along with a bunch of other brands. The CZ's are my go to guns and the P07 Duty is my main EDC. I prefer the harder DA trigger since i carry appendix. It s just a warm fuzzy really :). The worst thing i've ever done gun wise was to buy a CZ. They have ruined me for other guns and I just can't seem to stop buying them :) Thanks for the video I enjoyed it !!
I'm a big fan of the P07 myself
dbel723333 Does your Duty have any frame buldge? Mine has very little after 2,500 rds but many were suffering from that.
@@eddierivera2908 No sir. I know some other guns had that issue but I don't think its that big of a deal. Even if mine did have it, it wouldn't bother me so much. Unless it was grossly bad enough to affect the guns performance , I probably wouldn't notice at all unless someone pointed it out to me. The performance and feel of the gun itself voids that issue for me. I could live with it :)
@@dbel723333 I agree I would not have checked until some mentioned it. Thanks for the response. Still considering the 2nd version only because it's more comfortable to carry as they improved on the edges of the firearm.
If you pull the trigger and release while holding the hammer it will go to the second catch when you control the hammer down. It won't rest on the pin. I prefer the safeties on my omegas because it gives me a thumb rest and I can grip higher. My long fingers always hit the side release causing it not to lock open. Or they ride the decocker letting the hammer down after each shot. Lol
I like the DA/SA action personally. My buddy carried his with the safety for years.
@@SargeC4Defense One of the great things about CZs...options. I get it. I always wanted decocker because I didn't want to carry cocked and locked but a safety was one more step. So my compromise is half cocked and safety off. Love CZs
Best pistol for me.
They’re sweet.
Heads up all... I am wrong. The extension are for 2 more rounds. Not just for more grip... my apologies... feel stupid carry a gun short on rounds... 🇺🇸👍 Thanks
You da man.
The P07 is very choice! TFS
Right on
I put granulate tape on mine feels fantastic! Great shooter
A lot of people like those grips.
The gun shoots great, the guy shooting tho is another story.... :)
Exactly
Just my opinion, but more features on the hand gun definitely worth every penny.
Agreed 100%
Love it...Very Good Pistol.
They’re completely underrated.
Another one I can't miss with but it's in a 40 SW. Definitely switch out the decocker for the safety because it will highlight the Omega trigger which is one of the better triggers I've ever used. Even night sights illuminated by a flashlight last a while and because of their size the sight picture you just can't miss with this thing.
tom parker although I agree the safety would be the way to go, I really like DA/SA pistols.
Good video Sarge.
Thanks brother
Great vid
Thank you 😊
When do you plan on doing the update review with the M Carbo kit review?
I am building a new studio and plan on doing it once it’s complete. Sorry for the delay
I can tell you 2 things from experience:
1.) MCarbo makes AWESOME stuff.
2.) Their P07 shooting kit is a GAME CHANGER. And it's only like $28.00
Do it!
Your ISO is set a little too high on that camera. Good video on the P07/
Agreed 100%
2 questions: 1. What's the trigger pull in decocked mode? Is it still around 10 lbs, or is it in-between uncocked and single action? 2. Is there any way to carry it in uncocked mode (as opposed to decocked), with a bullet in the chamber (this question kind of flows from my first question, since I like the safety of a heavy initial trigger pull, with a chambered round, for an extra margin of safety against a negligent discharge)? Thanks.
I’d have to check their website for the trigger pulls, and why would you want to circumvent one of the safeties by not decocking it?
@@SargeC4Defense Maybe my question was less articulate than it should've been. I don't want to carry it cocked. I want to carry it either decocked or uncocked. I know I can carry it decocked with a round already chambered, which is a nice combination of readiness and safety. I was just curious if the trigger pull is similar for uncocked vs. decocked, and, if decocked has a significantly lighter trigger pull, is it possible to have a round chambered in uncocked mode? If the two trigger pull weights are about the same, then my second question is moot.
Carry it decocked with a round In the chamber.
@@SargeC4Defense Thanks.
@garybkatz The decocked pull is just a smidge better than fully uncocked, nearly unnoticable. You can swap out the decocker with the safety that it came with, that way you can carry cocked with one in the chamber. I wouldn't worry too much about the decocked pull, the double action trigger's pretty heavy and very difficult to pull by accident.
I’m getting one
Great choice.
Love my p07!! Bought a p10f and sold it immediately!
@Jimmy S sold the p10f.
The p10 isn’t bad, but for many of us who have glocks out the ass, I just couldn’t bring myself to get one... on account of it being just another striker fired gun.... I nearly bought one twice, but both times I grabbed something different.... love cz though.
What was the reason you sold the p10?
Good choice!
I might get one of those. I'm a lefty so I think I have to pay someone to change the magazine release button.
It might be an easy swap
@@SargeC4Defense unfortunately I can't break it down myself so I can't get one. I'm looking at Hk P30 and a px4 storm compact and I have time to decide which one I want.
mine has an extremely Light double action trigger pull its why I bought it
Mine has a good single action trigger pull, but the double action not so much.
MCARBO makes a trigger spring kit for the P07, a lot cheaper than Cajun
I bought one, now I just need to instal it
@@SargeC4Defense Mind the decocker lever, that was the biggest PITA to reinstall. However YMMV
That’s what worries me. I’m what I like to refer to as an involuntary gunsmith.
@@SargeC4Defense Same here, I admit Chris has put out some really good installation videos on UA-cam. Very informative and you learn a lot about how CZ pistols are put together. Worst case is you take it to your LGS/ gunsmith and they put the rest together for you. I actually enjoyed the polishing portion of it.
I did the spring kit from MCarbo and the short trigger reset from Cajun. Polished up all the components following MCarbo’s vids (which are awesome). The trigger isn’t as crisp as a Shadow 2 but it’s approaching that level of performance. Also added the rubberized grips from MCarbo.
What type of Blackhawk holster did you use for it? Thanks
amzn.to/2MNLx92
The mags are just like the P10Cs
Yep
please edit your videos differently. I forget what color filter it is, but the one that makes lines stand out is cranked to the max in all the video shots. It makes the screen looks so busy. Look at your shirt while shooting the CZ. It looks like you're wearing sandpaper because that's how exaggeraated the video is. Otherwise it's a good review, but it hurts my eyes.
Meh
@@SargeC4Defense You are over sharpening your videos, though. It makes for an incredibly difficult watch.
@@SargeC4Defense It's actually true and a good point. Your content makes me wanna watch more, but the video quality went overboard.
Grip is way too slick for me but a set of Talon grips of your choice solve that issue.
I like the HadleItGrips better.
Great video!!
Thank you
Great handgun
Love it.
You didn't mention it but my P-07 has night sites.
I don't consider the "night sights" mine came with actual night sights. Mine only light up after being exposed to light for a while.
If you keep it holstered, the front sight won’t get any sunlight. I changed mine out with big dots
I had a first series p07. Never liked it sold it and got a 75 back for it.
robin6512 I had a P07 Duty, but I like this new version much better.
C4 Defense yup same here. Seems that this indeed is much better. Maybe I’ll give it a try.
and if there are some, that can not take alittle heavy pull. just for awhile . just put the gun down or trade it in . at the end of the day, if you make it. you will find something distinguished and Special. So pull those pants up, and get it done.
Agreed
Is it a good 1st gun cause I'm thinking of buyer one
It’s a great place to start.
Just bought mine last week, put about 200 rounds through it. No malfunctions and it is very smooth shooting. 10/10 recommend
Yeah it’s not super expensive either around $450-$550 that’s not bad for such a great gun
New fan here sir!
Shart-O-Tron D 😃
CZ just discontinued their MIL/LE program. What a shame…
😳
Plan on buying one in .40
