Thank you very much Honest! I'm telling you, the Phantom is surprisingly good and it just sits so well in the hand. I'd love to see one featured on your channel! Cheers brother!
I have the CZ Phantom and it shoots better than my new Glock 45 9m. I really enjoy shooting this gun no matter the distance that shoot, I still hit my target very well without a miss.
I have a P07 and it's my favorite gun. The P07/09 designs are built more modern from the ground up. Better slide finish, Front serrations, Flatter trigger, Bigger controls. The phantom I feel is an old design trying to be salvaged by going polymer. I've held the phantom but never shot it. It's a little bit bigger and more comparable to the P09. I guess the only thing I don't like about it is that there is not much to grab onto when racking the slide. P07 has more slide real estate. Also if you plan to add a red dot I would say the P07/09 are better candidates since the slide is more wider and squared at the rear. And lastly the phantom trigger guard is smaller too, could be a problem if wearing thick gloves.
Thank you for sharing Raul! I agree, the P-07 seems to have a more modern look to it, but the Phantom still looks pretty good as well. The P-07 definitely has more real estate to grab on to. You make some great points indeed. Cheers brother!
I’m a big cz fan but I’m not a fan of the p07/p09. Especially the omegas. The triggers stack terribly. A CGW upgrade helps but they still aren’t great triggers. In this respect the sp01/p01/p10 blow it out of the water imo.
PO7/PO9 can't be compared to SP-01 in terms shootability. I would suggest renting it first. The trigger is probably the best one I've felt on any pistol.
Very impressed. One comment, when you were describing the takedown of the SP-01 Phantom, you neglected to mention about lining up of the line with the circle at the back of the slide, before being able to push through the take-down lever. I bought the Phantom a couple of weeks ago and found that by doing that, pushing it through is very straightforward.
I have a P07 and have shot the Phantom several times. The Phantom is probably the most accurate pistol I have ever shot to date. For me the P07 is more practical day to day because it is plenty accurate enough and it is the right size to conceal. Both are equally reliable. I would like to add the Phantom and CZ P10 to my small collection but hard to justify when each one is so good.
I’ve also got both, and love them. You’re right. The sp01 is ungodly accurate, and I shoot it better than I’ve shot any pistol before, including high end 2011’s. That being said, the p07 is phenomenal as well, plenty accurate and controllable, and conceals pretty well. I can also conceal and do carry the phantom, but for the difference, I carry the p07 more
Just got my SP-01 Phantom, I LOVE this thing. I recently had an accident that paralyzed my left shoulder, I realized I can still hold a good sight line with this gun that just feels and seems right from the ground up.
The best way I found to take a CZ down is to press the muzzle down on the table untill you line up the marks, then push the takedown lever pin with your right index finger as you pull it out with your left hand. It is a lot easier than pushing it out with a mag and it is easier to line the marks up.
Good video as always KS. But I don't think the comparison was exactly fair. Because I'd choose the P-07 due to it being the more versatile and carry friendly compact. Now were this a P-09 vs the Phantom. I'd pick the Phantom hands down as I've owned both. And think the Phantom is just a better gun overall.
Lol. I've caught some grief for that but I maintain that the premise behind the series is comparing guns whether similar or different. I wish I had a P-09 on hand though as that would have been more in line with the Phantom. Live and learn I guess. I do agree that the Phantom is fantastic and really shocked me during the testing. I am sold on it for sure. Thank you as always and cheers brother!
KSGunGuy Oh believe me I do get what you are saying. And as someone who's owned a couple P-09's the comparison whether you use the P-07 or -09 is virtually the same. Minus the obvious differences of course. But taking what you had on hand, a compact vs a FS. Whether the FS is a better gun if I'm just being honest. The compact wins...Because its a compact and can fill more roles and be carried more. Especially if you can swap in the same/similar higher capacity mag that the FS offers. And IMO the gun you are willing to carry more/daily in whatever attire and will get used in more roles is far more valuable. Even if there is a better but less used FS option available.
In my opinion the the phantom is the best full size duty gun around. I mean if your a police officer or just a guy that likes to open carry in a holster I don't think there is a better gun than the phantom for that. It also makes a for a really good nightstand option. However with that said the P-07 is better for people who want a concealed carry option...
I needed some money and I traded my Springfield A1 loaded 1911 off on a phantom. And pocketed a couple hundred bucks. I love the phantom. I got a flush fit, and I carry it every day. Great gun
You totally forgot to mention the Phantom has a scalloped polymer frame, I love that my fingers sit close to the gun, plus the better angle on the grip for a straighter connection with your wrist and forearm
Two great guns. Very hard to choose. I have a P09 with the threaded barrel. I would probably go with the P07 since I enjoy shooting the P09. But, either one is a great choice. God bless.
I have both (and the p07...lol) I really don't like the po9 (also having quite a few fte and ftf with it, sent it to cz but still not good for me) the phantom, imo , fit better in the hand, easier to pick up the sight which for me is a better shooter.
@@Loiczzr I guess the original is the best. Phantom made a name for itself. In limited amount which created a demand. P09 I expected it to be brilliant. You really lucky to have both👌. P07 has proven itself over the years. I honestly say it's one of the most reliable handguns in the world.
I have both. Right now it would be the P-07. Never had an issue with it. Took the Phantom to the range and after 245 rounds the trigger pin backed out and the trigger spring dropped out. the P-07 is a great carry gun. They are both accurate. The Phantom was just a bit more accurate for me before the pin issue. My daily carry is currently the P-07. But I love them both. Can't wait to get my Phantom back for another range trip! PS - The factory sights are better on the P-07.
I have a p07 and I love it. I discovered that it will accept and run the magazine from a sig 226. I ordered a p07 magazine follower, and I am very happy. Good videos man
dieselbreakfast I tried my P226 mags...you are right. Yet, the mags do not drop freely. I have to pull it out. But thanks for the tip...too cool. I have high cap p226 mags too..:)
The 9mm P07 is my super trusted & dependable ( although not used in a situation of duress yet, so appraisal is based on 'historic usage ) EDC. The ergonomics are excellent, and it fitted me perfectly. It has chewed through a couple of thousand of rounds without so much as a hiccup. It is a great carry option, stored away safely on my person in condition 2, no safety required, and ready for a 1/2 pull to dispense with an assailant. The option to switch between De-cock or Safety is definitely a stroke of genius and changing between those two takes no tools and 5 minutes. Trigger *feel* is considerably nicer with safety as opposed to de-cocker. I polished up the internals and shot it and this all helps to make the trigger feel great. Fit and finish is excellent, especially the external finish. two unfortunate drops and not a single mark, no sign of any holster wear ( unlike my Glock 20, which comes from the factory with that horrific finish on the slide, IMHO ) Very accurate. Sights retain their glow as new after 2.5 years. To sum up: I love it, I trust it to do it's part to protect my family if required - no question. If you're in the market for this type of hammer fired pistol, I CANNOT recommend this pistol high enough. Eddie
You know I love my P-07. You were one of the ones I trusted in that decision and I have zero regrets. I really want a full size CZ but I think it will be a steel one. The Phantom intrigued me a year ago when I was first looking at the CZs but the P-07 Duty kept talking to me. I’m glad I waited until the newer version became available. My trigger has gotten so freaking amazing. Great thorough review KS.
That’s awesome InSight! The P07 is an awesome gun for sure. Great shooter and feels good in the hand. I think you’ll really like a metal SP01. Really well made and crazy flat shooting. Cheers brother!
Shot both as rentals. The phantom is like a lasor beam just molds in the hand and the recoil impulse is so smooth. For a duty gun though I would go with the p07/09.
I know this is an old comment, but I'm just wondering why you would go with the p07 for duty as opposed to the phantom? The phantom holds more rounds, has a longer barrel for increased velocity, and the longer sight radius. In addition, for duty you wouldn't be concealed carrying, which is where the p07 has an apparent advantage. So what makes you choose the p07 or p09? Is there a difference in reliability or durability? I'm genuinely curious as I'm a police officer/detective and was considering choosing one of these as my duty firearm. Reliability is my absolute #1 priority, with durability being my #2. I would be open carrying, so size doesn't make a real difference. Shooting fast/getting back on target as well as ammunition capacity is also important to me. In my observation the phantom seems more fit for duty, however I'm not speaking from experience, only from watching videos. So I'm genuinely curious why you would go the other route. Appreciate it man!
Bought a P07 on 8/7/2021 while doing function test the decocker broke on me. No round count on the pistol. I switched to the safety and it runs fine. Been seeing that other people we own P07 had experience the decocker breaking/malfunction. I emailed CZ and they want me to send it in but it's a 4-6 week wait. This is my first DA/SA pistol.
I’ve always wanted a Phantom, but they are hard to find. They also seem to be over “Shadowed” by the steel frame versions, P07, P10c & all the other polymer striker fired pistols on the market. To me you get the best of both worlds with the Phantom, Old school CZ 75 with New age Polymer frame. Plus they take standard CZ 75 mags. I know there are a few aftermarket parts for these, but I just wish there were more custom parts and builds based on these guns.
I do agree that the Phantom is a great compromise between the steel and polymer CZs. Really a pleasant shooter. There are some options with CGW, but not enough unfortunately. Thank you and cheers!
¡Excelente vídeo! ¡Es una buena comparativa! To be honest, I never thought before to have a SP 01, therefore past year I got a P07, I'm happy with the decision I made, but actually I'm planning to get a new one, and a SP 01 looks like the logical choice I should make. Gracias again :)
Overhand rack on the Phantom works perfectly fine. Not sure what the fuss is all about with CZ's being hard to rack for some people. Granted I have small hands, I figure if you use your palm and fingers with at least the amount of force of a child it's extremely easy to rack. Great video KS, cheers.
Great review. I have a Phantom, which is outstanding right out of the box. Excellent trigger. I put fiber optic sights on it. The grip is comfortable and the weight reduction, compared to the all metal SP01, is significant. Shot about 1,000 rounds flawlessly. Love the Phantom.
Own a P07 and really the only thing I am not loving is the grip texture. The back strap need more texture. I really prefer the grip texture of the M2.0 and Sig P320. However, some Talon grips solved that problem for me on my P07. I would agree with you as well on the P07 in that I have to focus a little more when shooting it. As for natural pint of aim I seem to be a little high with it. What I mean is when I bring the P07 up to aim I usually have the front sight a little high and have to bring it down. I seem to point more natural with my SP-01 Tactical as far a CZs go.
Thank you Claymore! Yeah, the grip texture is lacking a bit on the P-07. I wonder on the focus issue if it's time behind the trigger. For me it most likely is. I simply don't shoot the P-07 all that often. Course, the Phantom has even less time behind it but seems to run just a bit better for me. Cheers brother!
Totally agree with you, the CZ-P07 definitely needs more stippling or texture on the backstrap. Im thinking of getting the Talon grips but im not sure which texture to go with, any suggestions?
I was very apprehensive about a "plastic CZ". After buying a CZ P-07, it became the favorite in my collection. All the negative I heard about the trigger was worked out by shooting and a small amount of polishing some of the internals.
I have the p07 duty and the phantom. The phantom for maybe 8 or 10 years the p07 for 6 to 8 years. Thru the phantom about 60k round and the p07 about half of that. Both are better shooter than me. Phantom got truglow sight within a few months , p07 still have original sights (U shape rear, dot in front) both fit very well MY hand. Only issue with the phantom is when you shoot a lot the mag release get sticky (I tried to take it apart and polish it a bit but that didn't help) 1 issue with the p07 duty is if you have a full mag, 16 rds and put 1 in the pipe first it will be very hard to lock the mag in place so keep it at 1 in pipe and 15 in mag the phantom no issues for 18+1.
Im curious why the Phantom got discontinued.. it always seemed like a solid performer that could have made its way into the polyner hall of fame. I tried to purchase one on Bud's Gun Shop a few years ago. It sat in my wishlist for a long time. One day the price dipped down to almost $380.... Yeah... Bud's sent me an email saying the price was an error and cancelled my order. Never did get my Phantom 😢
Metal weight and the shape of the 75 family of grips matters. The base model 75 is a gold standard since 1975 ! All these 75 variants have the basic fill-your-palm perfect ergonomics. And bonus of replaceable screw on grip panels to your liking. Textures, materials, colors, the grip panels are a buffet. I love my p-07 & p-09 Suppressor Ready pistols but wish the grips had 75 ergos. That's the loss with polymer design. VP9, P30, PDPs have it right in the ergonomics designs. Too many great choices. Don't know if I will ever boil my team down to Just One Pistol My A team as it stands now?: Glock G17L PDP Full 5" Sig P226 Elite VP9 SK G19X - Sold it P-09 & P-07 Suppressor Ready Love your presentations 👍ps, I sold my P-07 because it was too small for my ExLg size hands.
Phantom is on my list to buy. My question is is a Shadow 2 worth additional money ? I own P07 and it’s Aces ! CZ is just so well built and designed . Thanks for great detail reviews! 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
Not a fan of omega trigger but love my CZs. Have both of those guns Cajunized with 85 combat triggers and Cajun Pro Package. My CZ P01 SDP has best double I’ve ever pulled.
I know you've been talking about the P-09 a lot on the chats Music. Sounds like a great fit! I agree, the Shadow 2 is definitely on the list. Thank you as always and cheers!
I find the side width of the P-07&P-09 to be too thin for my large hands. For comparison the VP9 and PDP Full Size are more fulfilling. My 75 preB and RAMI grips do a better job filling my palms. Excellent presentation 👍👍 Love my P-09 & P-07 Suppressor Ready pistols. The most accurate straight out of the case pistols I've purchased in my 60 years of shooting. Good review 🇨🇿👍✌️🇺🇲
" If I could only have one?" Are you crazy? I'm a CZ nut. I have p10c, phantom, p09. I shoot p09 n competition & p10c is EDC. I'm going to send phantom to CZ custom for trigger job & sights then use in competition. The ergonomics of CZS fit so good to me . The only grip for me is rear sights on phantom. These older eyes need FO on front, black out rear. Keep up good videos.
Greg, that's an awesome collection and I see why you like CZ so much! I agree, the ergos really are great. The P10 is one of my all time favorites for sure. Thank you for watching and cheers!
I've never shot or even held an SP-01 model, but they sure look nice. I don't think you can go wrong either way, and I've heard nothing but good things about those Phantoms!
Having owned both these guns the sp01 phantom wins hands down. If carrying the p07, but the sp01 has a nicer trigger and fits the hand much nicer. Just my opinion
Very good review.... reviewer sounds a bit like Kermit the frog , but very organized in his aproach to a thourough review. I BOUGHT MY FIRST CZ about 7 years ago. I'd gotten into 40 cal guns and had bought an Springfield xd, walther pps ,sig 226 equinox, H&k usp compact, a Beretta 90 two polymer frame all in 40 cal l before the CZ 75BD satin nickel finish. THE CZ was by far the best shooter, best value, and best ergonomics out of the box. I WAS HOOKED! Next I bought a SP06 compact and the love deepened... again amazing handgun and dead solid reliable. Sp06 compact outshot a service glock at twice the distance which was being shot by a Texas State trooper in the next stall..I've been eying a SP07 for a ling time now or an SP09 . You got me , I'm buying one in 2 weeks... still cant decide SP07 or SP09 but maybe I just need to own them both cant go wrong CZ is amazing always.
I'm not to found of a bunch of safeties on a gun, but I love the decocker on my baby desert eagle just because I can run it with 1 in the chamber and feel completely comfortable not that I don't with other.guns but it's a great addition imo.
I have a shadow 2, and rotate my carry from cz75d pcr an FN fns 9c all are awesome .... The fn conceals best. Friend of mine has a phantom .... OH MY, I want one !!!
A good review. I am back into the Plastic CZs. Recently got a P07 OD Green and a P09 UG. The P09 somehow has a smoother trigger but Ive taken to the P07. Its like the Jack of all Trades CZ. Good at everything but maybe not the best at anything. Only complaint is the slick back strap. Tonight I won a like new Phantom at the local auction. $405 so I pick it up tomorrow. I couldnt help but grin a little watching all your brass ricochet off the diamond plate. That happens too me when I go to the indoor range. Smacks the finish off some of my guns pretty good. It was a fun video to watch.
Thank you very much! CZ definitely makes some amazing guns and the Phantom and P07 are no slouches. I seem to prefer the Phantom on most days but have confidence with both. Congrats on your Phantom! Great win indeed. Cheers!
I own both firearms and I am a big fan of CZ firearms. I do, however, disagree with your conclusion as which to own if you can only have one. For me, the P-07 shoots beautifully right out of the box, being very easy to put on target and stay on target for follow-up shots. The sights are big, easy to see and easy to put on target. This is the major shortcoming on the Phantom which has really small sights that are difficult to acquire, especially the tiny front sight. If being able to put your firearm on target quickly and stay on target is the most important characteristic for the buyer, the P-07 wins hands down, not to mention, as you reported, the P-07 allows you to switch out the decocker and make it into a manual safety, something the Phantom does not.
Thank you for sharing Jim! I agree, the sights on the Phantom are pretty weak. That said, I think the ergos on the Phantom nudge out the P07 and make up for the small sights. I would, however, prefer the P07 from a carry perspective due to size and better sights. Thank you and cheers!
The appropriate comparison to be made here is between the P-09 and SP-01 Phantom. The P-07 is the compact version and is comparable to the CZ P-01 (which is not offered in a polymer frame). The SP-01 is a full-size, duty gun with a longer sight radius, and heavier slide.
Not sure about appropriate or not, but I did I mention the P-09 in the video. Sadly I don't have one to compare. Good thing the series says like or unlike guns! Aside from size, they are very comparable. Thank you and cheers!
KS have you ever looked at a CZ 97BD? I came around one last weekend at a local gun shop you may know it Copper Custom with Tim for the MAC it had the beautiful CZ Shadow grips on it and all kind of regret not buying it $800 for it i just didn't want to put the cash up right now they told me that, that is the lest imported pistol CZ sends in! Next time i come across one i will be getting one, CZ is really addictive!
Great suggestion Buddy! That's awesome that you are close to Copper. I hear great things about them. Keep me posted if you get one. Thank you and cheers!
As you state that you tend to pull to the right on the P07. Your gun grip seems to favour a longer slide gun which hides this issue. I can only assume you shoot to the right at longer distances with the Phantom. That would be a you problem and not a gun issue. Just a question, why do you need to sling shot the slide when there is a slide lock release you can use? Insert mag hit the slide lock and the round chambers. No need to manipulate the slide!
Good review as always... I know it's been said already but I also agree that the P-09 would be the one to have in this video as it's size is comparable more so than the P-07.... That being said at least you did mention this in the video... I own a P-09 and also a older CZ-75....The P-09 is one of my favorite full size pistols and I seem to shoot it better than most other full-size pistols...
Thank you very much Prop! I agree, the P-09 would be closer but I don't have one and have to work with what I've got, lol. They are both great shooters indeed. Thank you for watching and cheers brother!
Small sights is a plus for me. I'm so sick of giant dot "combat" sights. I like to shoot my handguns at decent distances and the big ass sights completely cover up some targets.
Nice! I was looking forward to this version of "If I could only have one". I'm a big CZ fan albeit I already "have just one" in a form of a standard steel CZ75. It's one of my favorites to shoot, as I'm extremely accurate with it due to its low bore axis and low recoil. I'm looking closely at both of these along with the P-10C as my next CZ. I'd really want to own a Shadow2 which is on my wish list, but it won't be this year. Thanks KSGG for your work and great reviews! Look forward to more. Have a Merry Christmas!!!
Thanks brother! Keep me posted on which one you go with. You know I'm a big fan of the P-10. I agree about the Shadow 2! Merry Christmas to you as well MileHigh. Cheers!
But for concealed carry I do prefer a hammer over a Glock. Holster with thumb on hammer to feel resistance from clothing or whatever. Less likely to shoot yourself in the butt or crotch when reholstering
Seems they should produce a suppressor model? Since it has a stationary barrel instead of a pivoting barrel like their other polymers. Suppressor shooting is much smoother without suppressor being shook up and down
Great review and an upset. I thought for sure the P-07 would win. Because you lean toward striker fired pistols may I suggest you try the CZ 75 B SA. Great gun and comes with a flat faced trigger and Single Action mechanism. 1911 style 4.5 lb trigger an first shot is the same as the next. I love it.
Thank you Randy! I agree, I was surprised at the outcome but the Phantom just seems to shoot better for me. I'd love to check out the CZ 75 B SA! It sounds like it would be a great fit. Thank you as always and cheers!
Why would they have discontinued production of the SP-01 Phantom? I think it's dumb. The CZ P-07 however has all the features I could need in a Sub-700 dollar polymer wonder! I'm surprised the pistol ain't $750, so CZ really has some damn good pricing!
I sent my 07 back because the trigger was awful. The CZ gunsmith polished and adjusted it and it's much better. It's still a long pull but not bad enough to spend $300+ on a Cajun Gunworks trigger job
@@KSGunGuy01 You had the phantom a while, so I'd like to know how is it holding up against the steel SP-01 (Shadow)? Is there any difference in the rolling pin design between the regular CZ-75 and in the Phantom? Did you change the sights? If so, what was your choice?
Question for anyone here. I have owned a original CZ 75 in the late 80's. I am seriously considering buying o e or an Canik/ Tristar Clone. The one question I have is why does it seems a rand new pistol has to be modified to operate correctly? Apparently CZ continues to use the same suspect parts , even though we keep replacing the same parts. I am not saying Canik is equal or better than CZ but that company listens to it's owners and fixes their issues. That lower slide setting of their pistols is revolutionary in the Gun World. My CZ shot better than I did and the addition of more morden sites have re-sparked my desire for another CZ. I hope CZ fixes these issues and put out a " Ready to Fight " pistol.
Stop listening to rumours, un qualified opinions, none owner speculations. You won't be unhappy buying, and breaking in a lubricated P-09 & P-07. The only thing I have changed is the sights, going to Dawson Green fiber optic front with serrated black rear sight for outdoor use. No dungeon ranges for me. Lucky to shoot out in fresh air and natural settings. Stock night sights don't work in daylight. I'm sleeping at night time.
Great video man! I thought the p07 would win too, now I really have to get a phantom... If I can find one lol
Thank you very much Honest! I'm telling you, the Phantom is surprisingly good and it just sits so well in the hand. I'd love to see one featured on your channel! Cheers brother!
KS and Honest Outlaw both of you guys do great videos! Thank you! Phantom here: www.deguns.net/cz-75-sp-01-phantom-91258-806703912585-p/91258.htm
Thank you for sharing Dan! Cheers brother
The sp01 fite my hand SO much better than the 07. And I've got little girl hands.
Honest outlaw is on d house. 👏
I own both and I absolutely love my Phantom and you’re right it’s the better shooter, but I carry my P-07 purely on size
The quality and fit and finish of the P07 is definitely great. Seems like a $750 handgun not a $500 gun.
Thank you Harry! I agree, they are both built very well. CZ does an awesome job on quality all around. Cheers brother!
I like the Phantom because it looks more like a classic CZ.
Thank you Mike! I agree, it does have a more classic look to it. Cheers!
The Phantom was a great gun but I went the P07 route. I'm glad I did.
I have the CZ Phantom and it shoots better than my new Glock 45 9m. I really enjoy shooting this gun no matter the distance that shoot, I still hit my target very well without a miss.
I'd take P07 purely because of its size . Easier to conceal and carry and just as accurate. .
Well said Bald! The P-07 is a fantastic all-around size gun. Thank you and cheers brother!
The p-01 is actually a bit smaller overall if you want an alloy frame
I had problems with the p07, feels cheaply made compared to the phantom
I have a P07 and it's my favorite gun. The P07/09 designs are built more modern from the ground up. Better slide finish, Front serrations, Flatter trigger, Bigger controls. The phantom I feel is an old design trying to be salvaged by going polymer. I've held the phantom but never shot it. It's a little bit bigger and more comparable to the P09.
I guess the only thing I don't like about it is that there is not much to grab onto when racking the slide. P07 has more slide real estate.
Also if you plan to add a red dot I would say the P07/09 are better candidates since the slide is more wider and squared at the rear.
And lastly the phantom trigger guard is smaller too, could be a problem if wearing thick gloves.
Thank you for sharing Raul! I agree, the P-07 seems to have a more modern look to it, but the Phantom still looks pretty good as well. The P-07 definitely has more real estate to grab on to. You make some great points indeed. Cheers brother!
I’m a big cz fan but I’m not a fan of the p07/p09. Especially the omegas. The triggers stack terribly. A CGW upgrade helps but they still aren’t great triggers. In this respect the sp01/p01/p10 blow it out of the water imo.
PO7/PO9 can't be compared to SP-01 in terms shootability. I would suggest renting it first. The trigger is probably the best one I've felt on any pistol.
@@MrScar665 the p07/09 triggers? Hmm. I would disagree with that one bud.
@@czwarlord9243 I think you missed my point. PO7/PO9 can't be compared to SP-01. SP-01 is just that much better
Very impressed. One comment, when you were describing the takedown of the SP-01 Phantom, you neglected to mention about lining up of the line with the circle at the back of the slide, before being able to push through the take-down lever. I bought the Phantom a couple of weeks ago and found that by doing that, pushing it through is very straightforward.
Always read the Owner's Manual. It's all there. Eliminates all operator errors. No secrets.
I prefer the P-09
I have a P07 and have shot the Phantom several times. The Phantom is probably the most accurate pistol I have ever shot to date. For me the P07 is more practical day to day because it is plenty accurate enough and it is the right size to conceal. Both are equally reliable. I would like to add the Phantom and CZ P10 to my small collection but hard to justify when each one is so good.
Well said and thank you for sharing Kevin! I agree, at the end of the day, both are great. Cheers!
I’ve also got both, and love them. You’re right. The sp01 is ungodly accurate, and I shoot it better than I’ve shot any pistol before, including high end 2011’s. That being said, the p07 is phenomenal as well, plenty accurate and controllable, and conceals pretty well. I can also conceal and do carry the phantom, but for the difference, I carry the p07 more
Oh man hell yeah! I lucked out. This last week my lgs had 2 phantoms in stock. He found them in the back and i put both on layaway for $1100 as a pair
I just ordered a phantom yesterday.. I can't wait to get it
Congrats on the order! Thank you and cheers!
Enjoy brother.
Just got my SP-01 Phantom, I LOVE this thing. I recently had an accident that paralyzed my left shoulder, I realized I can still hold a good sight line with this gun that just feels and seems right from the ground up.
I shot the Phantom heads up against the P09, and found the P09 to be much more controllable and ended up selling the Phantom.
Great video, you're giving me the " I wants " for a CZ pistol
I recommend them both D! Thank you as always and cheers brother!
I own the p 07 I have ran 10k plus rounds thru it and is still a track driver. After buying that years ago, I buy nothing but cz.
Right on! Thank you and cheers Jeff!
Shadow with 30k rounds and no malfunctions in over 20k rounds.
The best way I found to take a CZ down is to press the muzzle down on the table untill you line up the marks, then push the takedown lever pin with your right index finger as you pull it out with your left hand.
It is a lot easier than pushing it out with a mag and it is easier to line the marks up.
Good video as always KS. But I don't think the comparison was exactly fair. Because I'd choose the P-07 due to it being the more versatile and carry friendly compact. Now were this a P-09 vs the Phantom. I'd pick the Phantom hands down as I've owned both. And think the Phantom is just a better gun overall.
Lol. I've caught some grief for that but I maintain that the premise behind the series is comparing guns whether similar or different. I wish I had a P-09 on hand though as that would have been more in line with the Phantom. Live and learn I guess. I do agree that the Phantom is fantastic and really shocked me during the testing. I am sold on it for sure. Thank you as always and cheers brother!
KSGunGuy Oh believe me I do get what you are saying. And as someone who's owned a couple P-09's the comparison whether you use the P-07 or -09 is virtually the same. Minus the obvious differences of course. But taking what you had on hand, a compact vs a FS. Whether the FS is a better gun if I'm just being honest. The compact wins...Because its a compact and can fill more roles and be carried more. Especially if you can swap in the same/similar higher capacity mag that the FS offers. And IMO the gun you are willing to carry more/daily in whatever attire and will get used in more roles is far more valuable. Even if there is a better but less used FS option available.
Excellent points Matteo! I do agree, the compact size is definitely more universal, especially from a carry standpoint. Thank you again brother!
Definitely the Phantom........just bought a 2017 Phantom......great firearm and extremely accurate
I agree Will! Thank you and cheers!
In my opinion the the phantom is the best full size duty gun around. I mean if your a police officer or just a guy that likes to open carry in a holster I don't think there is a better gun than the phantom for that. It also makes a for a really good nightstand option. However with that said the P-07 is better for people who want a concealed carry option...
I needed some money and I traded my Springfield A1 loaded 1911 off on a phantom. And pocketed a couple hundred bucks.
I love the phantom. I got a flush fit, and I carry it every day.
Great gun
Right on Doug! It’s a great gun for sure. Thank you and cheers!
You totally forgot to mention the Phantom has a scalloped polymer frame, I love that my fingers sit close to the gun, plus the better angle on the grip for a straighter connection with your wrist and forearm
I like guns with hammers and DA first shot. Good review
An Urban grey P07 with a threaded barrel is in my future. Love you brother. Thanks for the video.
That P-07 would rock Sonny! The urban grey color looks fantastic. Keep me posted if you get one! Thank you as always and cheers brother!
Sonny Gunz same bro!
Love this comment, makes me feel good about my purchase 👍👍
New to the channel. I like the apples to apples comparison. Also the grenade launcher took me by surprise and worth a laugh.
Two great guns. Very hard to choose. I have a P09 with the threaded barrel. I would probably go with the P07 since I enjoy shooting the P09. But, either one is a great choice. God bless.
Well said! I agree that both are great and you can't really go wrong. Thank you and cheers!
Will be interesting if you can compare the Cz P09 vs Cz Phantom ☺
I would say a better comparison of the Cz polymers 😜
I have both (and the p07...lol) I really don't like the po9 (also having quite a few fte and ftf with it, sent it to cz but still not good for me) the phantom, imo , fit better in the hand, easier to pick up the sight which for me is a better shooter.
@@Loiczzr
I guess the original is the best. Phantom made a name for itself. In limited amount which created a demand. P09 I expected it to be brilliant. You really lucky to have both👌.
P07 has proven itself over the years.
I honestly say it's one of the most reliable handguns in the world.
I have both. Right now it would be the P-07. Never had an issue with it. Took the Phantom to the range and after 245 rounds the trigger pin backed out and the trigger spring dropped out. the P-07 is a great carry gun. They are both accurate. The Phantom was just a bit more accurate for me before the pin issue. My daily carry is currently the P-07. But I love them both. Can't wait to get my Phantom back for another range trip!
PS - The factory sights are better on the P-07.
I have a p07 and I love it. I discovered that it will accept and run the magazine from a sig 226. I ordered a p07 magazine follower, and I am very happy. Good videos man
dieselbreakfast I tried my P226 mags...you are right. Yet, the mags do not drop freely. I have to pull it out. But thanks for the tip...too cool. I have high cap p226 mags too..:)
The 9mm P07 is my super trusted & dependable ( although not used in a situation of duress yet, so appraisal is based on 'historic usage ) EDC. The ergonomics are excellent, and it fitted me perfectly. It has chewed through a couple of thousand of rounds without so much as a hiccup. It is a great carry option, stored away safely on my person in condition 2, no safety required, and ready for a 1/2 pull to dispense with an assailant. The option to switch between De-cock or Safety is definitely a stroke of genius and changing between those two takes no tools and 5 minutes. Trigger *feel* is considerably nicer with safety as opposed to de-cocker. I polished up the internals and shot it and this all helps to make the trigger feel great. Fit and finish is excellent, especially the external finish. two unfortunate drops and not a single mark, no sign of any holster wear ( unlike my Glock 20, which comes from the factory with that horrific finish on the slide, IMHO ) Very accurate. Sights retain their glow as new after 2.5 years. To sum up: I love it, I trust it to do it's part to protect my family if required - no question. If you're in the market for this type of hammer fired pistol, I CANNOT recommend this pistol high enough. Eddie
I plan on getting a P 07 for a CCW . Currently have a CZ 75 PCR and am very happy with it . But we all want a new gun right.
I had two p07, both had problems. I'll never get one like it again. I consider the phantom is a superior firearm
MavHunter20XX what kind of problems?
That surprises me.
You know I love my P-07. You were one of the ones I trusted in that decision and I have zero regrets. I really want a full size CZ but I think it will be a steel one. The Phantom intrigued me a year ago when I was first looking at the CZs but the P-07 Duty kept talking to me. I’m glad I waited until the newer version became available. My trigger has gotten so freaking amazing. Great thorough review KS.
That’s awesome InSight! The P07 is an awesome gun for sure. Great shooter and feels good in the hand. I think you’ll really like a metal SP01. Really well made and crazy flat shooting. Cheers brother!
Shot both as rentals. The phantom is like a lasor beam just molds in the hand and the recoil impulse is so smooth. For a duty gun though I would go with the p07/09.
Well said! Thank you and cheers!
I know this is an old comment, but I'm just wondering why you would go with the p07 for duty as opposed to the phantom? The phantom holds more rounds, has a longer barrel for increased velocity, and the longer sight radius. In addition, for duty you wouldn't be concealed carrying, which is where the p07 has an apparent advantage.
So what makes you choose the p07 or p09?
Is there a difference in reliability or durability? I'm genuinely curious as I'm a police officer/detective and was considering choosing one of these as my duty firearm. Reliability is my absolute #1 priority, with durability being my #2. I would be open carrying, so size doesn't make a real difference. Shooting fast/getting back on target as well as ammunition capacity is also important to me.
In my observation the phantom seems more fit for duty, however I'm not speaking from experience, only from watching videos. So I'm genuinely curious why you would go the other route.
Appreciate it man!
Bought a P07 on 8/7/2021 while doing function test the decocker broke on me. No round count on the pistol. I switched to the safety and it runs fine. Been seeing that other people we own P07 had experience the decocker breaking/malfunction. I emailed CZ and they want me to send it in but it's a 4-6 week wait. This is my first DA/SA pistol.
Dang that sucks.
I’ve always wanted a Phantom, but they are hard to find. They also seem to be over “Shadowed” by the steel frame versions, P07, P10c & all the other polymer striker fired pistols on the market. To me you get the best of both worlds with the Phantom, Old school CZ 75 with New age Polymer frame. Plus they take standard CZ 75 mags. I know there are a few aftermarket parts for these, but I just wish there were more custom parts and builds based on these guns.
I do agree that the Phantom is a great compromise between the steel and polymer CZs. Really a pleasant shooter. There are some options with CGW, but not enough unfortunately. Thank you and cheers!
Sp-01 Shadow, comfortable with the rubber grips. Nice with the fibre-optic front sight too. Heavy though.
¡Excelente vídeo! ¡Es una buena comparativa! To be honest, I never thought before to have a SP 01, therefore past year I got a P07, I'm happy with the decision I made, but actually I'm planning to get a new one, and a SP 01 looks like the logical choice I should make. Gracias again :)
Thank you very much! The SP-01 is an awesome gun for sure. I think you will enjoy it. Cheers!
CZ 75B Mags also work in the P07. So what you mght say?
P07 mag: $50+
CZ 75B: $20-$25.
Overhand rack on the Phantom works perfectly fine. Not sure what the fuss is all about with CZ's being hard to rack for some people. Granted I have small hands, I figure if you use your palm and fingers with at least the amount of force of a child it's extremely easy to rack. Great video KS, cheers.
Thank you very much Nick! I agree, they are perfectly fine to use an overhanded rack. Works every time. Cheers brother!
@@KSGunGuy01 racking is more about technique than it is about strength
Great review. I have a Phantom, which is outstanding right out of the box. Excellent trigger. I put fiber optic sights on it. The grip is comfortable and the weight reduction, compared to the all metal SP01, is significant. Shot about 1,000 rounds flawlessly. Love the Phantom.
Thank you Craig! I agree, the Phantom has been a pleasure so far. Thank you for sharing and cheers!
I also got the hi viz sights put on my phantom. Big improvement and probably all that’s needed. Great gun.
Own a P07 and really the only thing I am not loving is the grip texture. The back strap need more texture. I really prefer the grip texture of the M2.0 and Sig P320. However, some Talon grips solved that problem for me on my P07.
I would agree with you as well on the P07 in that I have to focus a little more when shooting it. As for natural pint of aim I seem to be a little high with it. What I mean is when I bring the P07 up to aim I usually have the front sight a little high and have to bring it down. I seem to point more natural with my SP-01 Tactical as far a CZs go.
Thank you Claymore! Yeah, the grip texture is lacking a bit on the P-07. I wonder on the focus issue if it's time behind the trigger. For me it most likely is. I simply don't shoot the P-07 all that often. Course, the Phantom has even less time behind it but seems to run just a bit better for me. Cheers brother!
Totally agree with you, the CZ-P07 definitely needs more stippling or texture on the backstrap. Im thinking of getting the Talon grips but im not sure which texture to go with, any suggestions?
I was very apprehensive about a "plastic CZ". After buying a CZ P-07, it became the favorite in my collection. All the negative I heard about the trigger was worked out by shooting and a small amount of polishing some of the internals.
That’s awesome Mike! The P07 is definitely a great gun. Thank you and cheers!
I have the p07 duty and the phantom. The phantom for maybe 8 or 10 years the p07 for 6 to 8 years.
Thru the phantom about 60k round and the p07 about half of that. Both are better shooter than me.
Phantom got truglow sight within a few months , p07 still have original sights (U shape rear, dot in front) both fit very well MY hand. Only issue with the phantom is when you shoot a lot the mag release get sticky (I tried to take it apart and polish it a bit but that didn't help) 1 issue with the p07 duty is if you have a full mag, 16 rds and put 1 in the pipe first it will be very hard to lock the mag in place so keep it at 1 in pipe and 15 in mag the phantom no issues for 18+1.
Im curious why the Phantom got discontinued.. it always seemed like a solid performer that could have made its way into the polyner hall of fame. I tried to purchase one on Bud's Gun Shop a few years ago. It sat in my wishlist for a long time. One day the price dipped down to almost $380.... Yeah... Bud's sent me an email saying the price was an error and cancelled my order. Never did get my Phantom 😢
Everything happens for a reason maybe they discontinued it because you may not able to double action dry fire it unlike the p07
Great review looking at buying my first cz
Looking st the 07
Thank you! The P07 is a great gun. Cheers!
Metal weight and the shape of the 75 family of grips matters. The base model 75 is a gold standard since 1975 !
All these 75 variants have the basic fill-your-palm perfect ergonomics. And bonus of replaceable screw on grip panels to your liking.
Textures, materials, colors, the grip panels are a buffet. I love my p-07 & p-09 Suppressor Ready pistols but wish the grips had 75 ergos. That's the loss with polymer design.
VP9, P30, PDPs have it right in the ergonomics designs.
Too many great choices.
Don't know if I will ever boil my team down to Just One Pistol
My A team as it stands now?:
Glock G17L
PDP Full 5"
Sig P226 Elite
VP9 SK
G19X - Sold it
P-09 & P-07 Suppressor Ready
Love your presentations 👍ps, I sold my P-07 because it was too small for my ExLg size hands.
Phantom is on my list to buy. My question is is a Shadow 2 worth additional money ?
I own P07 and it’s Aces ! CZ is just so well built and designed . Thanks for great detail reviews! 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
The Shadow is definitely worth the extra money. Thank you and cheers!
Not a fan of omega trigger but love my CZs. Have both of those guns Cajunized with 85 combat triggers and Cajun Pro Package. My CZ P01 SDP has best double I’ve ever pulled.
Those CZs sound awesome! Thank you and cheers Scott!
I recently picked up the P-09 and the Kadet 22 conversion kit . Enjoy shooting both . Nice review . Now I have been thinking about the Shadow 2 lol .
I know you've been talking about the P-09 a lot on the chats Music. Sounds like a great fit! I agree, the Shadow 2 is definitely on the list. Thank you as always and cheers!
I find the side width of the P-07&P-09 to be too thin for my large hands. For comparison the VP9 and PDP Full Size are more fulfilling. My 75 preB and RAMI grips do a better job filling my palms. Excellent presentation 👍👍
Love my P-09 & P-07 Suppressor Ready pistols. The most accurate straight out of the case pistols I've purchased in my 60 years of shooting.
Good review 🇨🇿👍✌️🇺🇲
I love the Phantom. I really wish they made compact. The p-07 is awesome too tho. I have no complaints with either.
A compact Phantom would be sweet! Maybe some day... thank you and cheers!
@@KSGunGuy01 the CZ 75d PCR is as close to a compact phantom as I can think
Since it has an alloy slide and a polymer frame, sorta like a phantom 😁
" If I could only have one?" Are you crazy? I'm a CZ nut. I have p10c, phantom, p09. I shoot p09 n competition & p10c is EDC. I'm going to send phantom to CZ custom for trigger job & sights then use in competition. The ergonomics of CZS fit so good to me . The only grip for me is rear sights on phantom. These older eyes need FO on front, black out rear. Keep up good videos.
Greg, that's an awesome collection and I see why you like CZ so much! I agree, the ergos really are great. The P10 is one of my all time favorites for sure. Thank you for watching and cheers!
Nice comparison, might have to look at the Phantom since I already have the SP-01.
Thank you very much Keanon! I highly recommend it. Cheers brother!
I've never shot or even held an SP-01 model, but they sure look nice. I don't think you can go wrong either way, and I've heard nothing but good things about those Phantoms!
Well said Fu! I agree, you can't go wrong either way. Might be time to check out a SP-01! Cheers brother
6’4 285 I have both and can carry either! Love them both!
That’s awesome! Thank you and cheers!
Can carry either as well. 5’7 but I’m feeling like I’m 7’5.
Great review, you nailed it brother.
Thank you very much CWB! Cheers as always!
I decided with the 07, I have had it about 4 months and 1,500 rounds and love it. Nothing no problem
Very cool! They are great guns indeed. Thank you and cheers!
How much does the trigger change through break in?
Having owned both these guns the sp01 phantom wins hands down. If carrying the p07, but the sp01 has a nicer trigger and fits the hand much nicer. Just my opinion
Well said! Thank you and cheers!
Has anyone heard any talk of a compact Phantom?
Good video as always. Really like the if I could have only one videos, and the useful info you pass along. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much Sam! They are a lot of fun to make. Cheers!
Nice comparison but at the end I would like to own either as both seem like such good guns as I am a SA/DA person...Good stuff...
Thank you very much Scott! I do recommend either one. Both are great shooters. Thank you and cheers brother!
Very good review.... reviewer sounds a bit like Kermit the frog , but very organized in his aproach to a thourough review. I BOUGHT MY FIRST CZ about 7 years ago. I'd gotten into 40 cal guns and had bought an Springfield xd, walther pps ,sig 226 equinox, H&k usp compact, a Beretta 90 two polymer frame all in 40 cal l before the CZ 75BD satin nickel finish. THE CZ was by far the best shooter, best value, and best ergonomics out of the box. I WAS HOOKED! Next I bought a SP06 compact and the love deepened... again amazing handgun and dead solid reliable. Sp06 compact outshot a service glock at twice the distance which was being shot by a Texas State trooper in the next stall..I've been eying a SP07 for a ling time now or an SP09 . You got me , I'm buying one in 2 weeks... still cant decide SP07 or SP09 but maybe I just need to own them both cant go wrong CZ is amazing always.
I'm not to found of a bunch of safeties on a gun, but I love the decocker on my baby desert eagle just because I can run it with 1 in the chamber and feel completely comfortable not that I don't with other.guns but it's a great addition imo.
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
My answer can only be both! I am a huge CZ 75 fan but love the size of the P07 but the feel of the Phantom.
Both is the best answer indeed King! You summed it up nicely.... feel of the Phantom but size of the P-07. Thank you and cheers!
Nice review! I don't have to choose, I own both of them.
Which do you prefer? Which has more recoil?
If I could only choose one it would be the P-07. They both have minimal recoil.
My Phantom is currently at Cajun Gun Works. It will be Awesome with new sites 85 combat trigger and 3 lb trigger. Wheeeww
I don’t have either one, but I want them both! Great review KS
I think you would really enjoy them Robin! Thank you as always and cheers!
That settles it in my mind. I want both of them. Nice review KS!
And both you shall have SPPG! Thank you as always and cheers brother!
I have the shadow 2 and absolutely love it and i carry the p01 for cc love cz pistols i switch between 2 manufacturer's cz and walther
I have a shadow 2, and rotate my carry from cz75d pcr an FN fns 9c all are awesome .... The fn conceals best.
Friend of mine has a phantom .... OH MY, I want one !!!
omikeyutube nice...I’m debating between purchasing the FNS-9c and the P07.
A good review. I am back into the Plastic CZs. Recently got a P07 OD Green and a P09 UG. The P09 somehow has a smoother trigger but Ive taken to the P07. Its like the Jack of all Trades CZ. Good at everything but maybe not the best at anything. Only complaint is the slick back strap.
Tonight I won a like new Phantom at the local auction. $405 so I pick it up tomorrow. I couldnt help but grin a little watching all your brass ricochet off the diamond plate. That happens too me when I go to the indoor range. Smacks the finish off some of my guns pretty good. It was a fun video to watch.
Thank you very much! CZ definitely makes some amazing guns and the Phantom and P07 are no slouches. I seem to prefer the Phantom on most days but have confidence with both. Congrats on your Phantom! Great win indeed. Cheers!
Its funny I was looking at CZ's Saturday
Nice Trees! They really are great brother. Cheers!
Buy one, you will never regret it!!
I own both firearms and I am a big fan of CZ firearms. I do, however, disagree with your conclusion as which to own if you can only have one. For me, the P-07 shoots beautifully right out of the box, being very easy to put on target and stay on target for follow-up shots. The sights are big, easy to see and easy to put on target. This is the major shortcoming on the Phantom which has really small sights that are difficult to acquire, especially the tiny front sight. If being able to put your firearm on target quickly and stay on target is the most important characteristic for the buyer, the P-07 wins hands down, not to mention, as you reported, the P-07 allows you to switch out the decocker and make it into a manual safety, something the Phantom does not.
Thank you for sharing Jim! I agree, the sights on the Phantom are pretty weak. That said, I think the ergos on the Phantom nudge out the P07 and make up for the small sights. I would, however, prefer the P07 from a carry perspective due to size and better sights. Thank you and cheers!
Why would u want a manual safety?
The appropriate comparison to be made here is between the P-09 and SP-01 Phantom. The P-07 is the compact version and is comparable to the CZ P-01 (which is not offered in a polymer frame). The SP-01 is a full-size, duty gun with a longer sight radius, and heavier slide.
Not sure about appropriate or not, but I did I mention the P-09 in the video. Sadly I don't have one to compare. Good thing the series says like or unlike guns! Aside from size, they are very comparable. Thank you and cheers!
KS have you ever looked at a CZ 97BD? I came around one last weekend at a local gun shop you may know it Copper Custom with Tim for the MAC it had the beautiful CZ Shadow grips on it and all kind of regret not buying it $800 for it i just didn't want to put the cash up right now they told me that, that is the lest imported pistol CZ sends in! Next time i come across one i will be getting one, CZ is really addictive!
Great suggestion Buddy! That's awesome that you are close to Copper. I hear great things about them. Keep me posted if you get one. Thank you and cheers!
Buddy K Mine comes in Saturday! Can’t wait to shoot it!
As you state that you tend to pull to the right on the P07. Your gun grip seems to favour a longer slide gun which hides this issue. I can only assume you shoot to the right at longer distances with the Phantom. That would be a you problem and not a gun issue. Just a question, why do you need to sling shot the slide when there is a slide lock release you can use? Insert mag hit the slide lock and the round chambers. No need to manipulate the slide!
Great video, I don’t have that many rounds through either but in the little I have shot both guns I’ve enjoyed both. Couldn’t go wrong either way
Well said and thank you brother! Cheers
I came a hair away from getting a p07. Wish I would have now.
It’s a fantastic gun Mule. Maybe time for a revisit! Thank you and cheers!
@@KSGunGuy01 maybe I have to have another look, I thought I had all the carry guns I want / need .... Can never have to many !!!!
Good review as always... I know it's been said already but I also agree that the P-09 would be the one to have in this video as it's size is comparable more so than the P-07.... That being said at least you did mention this in the video...
I own a P-09 and also a older CZ-75....The P-09 is one of my favorite full size pistols and I seem to shoot it better than most other full-size pistols...
Thank you very much Prop! I agree, the P-09 would be closer but I don't have one and have to work with what I've got, lol. They are both great shooters indeed. Thank you for watching and cheers brother!
KSGunGuy ,,, good point, not everyone has a completely stocked gun store to pick guns out for reviews 😁😁
Small sights is a plus for me. I'm so sick of giant dot "combat" sights. I like to shoot my handguns at decent distances and the big ass sights completely cover up some targets.
That is very true. For precision, small sights like good fiber optics are the way to go. Thank you and cheers!
The P07 is definitly capable of using CZ 75 magazines. They do not fit perfect, but they do work.
Great to know! Thank you and cheers Counselor!
@@KSGunGuy01 you can also take the 17-round magazines from the Shadow 2 and put them into the cz-75 PCR 😊
Nice! I was looking forward to this version of "If I could only have one". I'm a big CZ fan albeit I already "have just one" in a form of a standard steel CZ75. It's one of my favorites to shoot, as I'm extremely accurate with it due to its low bore axis and low recoil. I'm looking closely at both of these along with the P-10C as my next CZ. I'd really want to own a Shadow2 which is on my wish list, but it won't be this year.
Thanks KSGG for your work and great reviews! Look forward to more. Have a Merry Christmas!!!
Thanks brother! Keep me posted on which one you go with. You know I'm a big fan of the P-10. I agree about the Shadow 2! Merry Christmas to you as well MileHigh. Cheers!
The Phantom was discontinued in 2019 according to CZ website today
The P-07 accepts CZ 75 mec gar magazine's. The only problem is that it hangs a little off the bottom of the grip. Besides it functions perfectly 👌
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
Always wanted a phantom.the name alone sounds bad ass.
Agreed! Thank you and cheers!
Very Nice Detailed Review as always! I’m a P-07, P-09 fan but Either one would be a great choice ! #CZLIFE Indeed, Carry On
Thank you Big J! I agree, both are fantastic! Thank you and cheers brother
I wish they not discontinued the Phantom. Again.
But for concealed carry I do prefer a hammer over a Glock. Holster with thumb on hammer to feel resistance from clothing or whatever. Less likely to shoot yourself in the butt or crotch when reholstering
My CZ Phantom 18 round magazines fit my 14 round CZ PCR , but sadly I have no had the chance to fire my PCR loaded with the Phantom magazines...
Good to know! Hopefully you’ll get the chance soon. Thank you and cheers!
Noice! Thanks for the share!!
good stuff.....I really enjoy my 75bd.....they are all good
Thank you Russ! I agree, they are definitely good. Cheers!
Seems they should produce a suppressor model? Since it has a stationary barrel instead of a pivoting barrel like their other polymers. Suppressor shooting is much smoother without suppressor being shook up and down
What about p09 vs the phantom?
Pretty much the same as the P07 but bigger. Just imagine he's saying P09 lol
Great review and an upset. I thought for sure the P-07 would win. Because you lean toward striker fired pistols may I suggest you try the CZ 75 B SA.
Great gun and comes with a flat faced trigger and Single Action mechanism. 1911 style 4.5 lb trigger an first shot is the same as the next. I love it.
Thank you Randy! I agree, I was surprised at the outcome but the Phantom just seems to shoot better for me. I'd love to check out the CZ 75 B SA! It sounds like it would be a great fit. Thank you as always and cheers!
Why would they have discontinued production of the SP-01 Phantom? I think it's dumb.
The CZ P-07 however has all the features I could need in a Sub-700 dollar polymer wonder! I'm surprised the pistol ain't $750, so CZ really has some damn good pricing!
I sent my 07 back because the trigger was awful. The CZ gunsmith polished and adjusted it and it's much better. It's still a long pull but not bad enough to spend $300+ on a Cajun Gunworks trigger job
I haven't tried the Phantom however I have a CZ P07 and CZ P-09. You can't go wrong with a CZ. Gotta check out the Phantom and Shadow 2.
Great video brother! I don't have any experience with the Phantom so my vote is going to the P07
Thanks Nolan! I highly recommend giving the Phantom a go. Sadly have to miss the chat tonight but I'll catch you on the next one! Cheers brother
I sold my Traded my P09 for the Phantom its more for me. I feel the gun has a better trigger and ergos. Phantom for the win 👍
Awesome Youngguns! It's a fantastic shooter for sure. Thank you and cheers brother!
@@KSGunGuy01
You had the phantom a while, so I'd like to know how is it holding up against the steel SP-01 (Shadow)?
Is there any difference in the rolling pin design between the regular CZ-75 and in the Phantom?
Did you change the sights? If so, what was your choice?
Too bad CZ discontinued the Phantom once again.
Great review!!
Thanks
Thank you very much Moe! Cheers brother
Question for anyone here. I have owned a original CZ 75 in the late 80's. I am seriously considering buying o e or an Canik/ Tristar Clone. The one question I have is why does it seems a rand new pistol has to be modified to operate correctly?
Apparently CZ continues to use the same suspect parts , even though we keep replacing the same parts. I am not saying Canik is equal or better than CZ but that company listens to it's owners and fixes their issues.
That lower slide setting of their pistols is revolutionary in the Gun World. My CZ shot better than I did and the addition of more morden sites have re-sparked my desire for another CZ.
I hope CZ fixes these issues and put out a " Ready to Fight " pistol.
Stop listening to rumours, un qualified opinions, none owner speculations. You won't be unhappy buying, and breaking in a lubricated P-09 & P-07. The only thing I have changed is the sights, going to Dawson Green fiber optic front with serrated black rear sight for outdoor use. No dungeon ranges for me. Lucky to shoot out in fresh air and natural settings. Stock night sights don't work in daylight. I'm sleeping at night time.
