Ive shot glocks for years. Shot ok with them but a border patrol friend of mine always preferred hammer fired. He has a p07 as his carry gun. I shot it and i was hooked. I shoot so much better with them i finally wound up with a p07 and 2 p09s. One or another is always with me. I wish i found these years ago
Yes he did…..I’m proof ! And, after my first trip to the range, my next stop was a river to throw it in….! Fortunately, there wasn’t a river handy……and a friend of mine suggested some different sights. I followed that advice and gave the gun another chance. It was a DRAMATIC improvement !! Much better…..and it is now one of my favorite semi-autos. Of course, there is always that slight chance it was an operator error !? 😮😂😊
@@Grasshopper0122 oh I’m sure it is mostly operator error on my part 😂 And I just didn’t care for the trigger, which could have been worked on. But I sold the gun for a slight loss and have no regrets. I hate to see they used the same trigger on the new P-09C, because it looks like they fixed most of my other complaints!
Really like the P-07, used as my CCW for years. Had to switch to the Glock 19 last month, sent the P-07 to JagerWerks for an RMR cut and some custom milling. Mcarbo makes a kit for $40 and with some polishing it cleans up that trigger really nice.
The trigger is not awful. It is fine. Not excellent. It is a combat gun. I have used this for defensive drills and never felt the trigger was holding me back.
this video is the perfect example of (unless they're only for fun at the range and/or you have unlimited cash) how every gun is different for every shooter and every hand. From other videos (Honest Outlaw is just one you mentioned but there are many others) and the comments here, there are clearly people who not only like this firearm, but LOVE it, and trust their life and the lives of their family's lives with it. You've clearly had a different experience. Some people will cheer you, some will attack you. But neither is necessary. It's simply a fact that it doesn't perform for you the way you'd prefer. I actually found this because I just ordered one and it's on the way. I shot 20 different models of striker and hammer fired guns at the range over the last 3 months searching for what would be my first CCW. This was the one that felt and shot best for me out of all of them.
Exactly! I hope I made that clear and wasn’t overly critical. Everybody is going to have a different personal opinion on what handguns work best for them. Hope it works out great for you!
Nothing wrong with the trigger on the CZ P-07 , it's the person whose using is the problem. Some people need to complain about everything. Tell me were have you seen the perfect firearm? Trigger on the CZ P-07 isn't the same as a single action only or striker fire and all you need is more practice with the firearm. Grew up shooting DA revolvers, so there were little adjustment needed. For under $500 the CZ P-07 is a good bargain.
I agree it’s a good value! I grew up shooting a DA/SA Beretta 92 so I’m well accustomed and know how good a trigger in that mechanism can be (having shooting experience with both tuned and factory 92 triggers.) Also, I didn’t say there is anything wrong with it, just that it isn’t set up how I’d like it to be. It does function reliably so it’s not “wrong.” I do agree that the accuracy with it is my problem, and that with a lot more practice with it that my results would be significantly better. Some people don’t care about trigger reset, weight, travel, slop, grit, or mush. And I get that. But that’s not me.
You need to focus on slow, accuracy bullseye targets first. Get your sighting squared away FIRST before bill timed nonsense. Walk before you try running. I love the P-07 & P-09. Most accurate pistols I've bought on my 60+ years of shooting.
Im 6'4, 220lb with xl hands. Ive carried the p07 for several years now, thousands of rounds. Perfect reliability, shoots well, trigger certainly smooths out. Its not a competition trigger, its a carry trigger, and it's perfectly adequate. Your list of "needs" is really just preferences and thats fine. Imo the only thing the gun needs is a few hundred rounds behind the trigger, especially if yoy're coming from strikers, (and perhaps an optic ready version, although i do prefer a direct mill interface despite being less convenient initially). For well under $500 i have glock/hk level performance and reliability with the peace of mind of a hammer fired gun for aiwb.
The firing pin retaining pin doesn’t like dry firing the P-07. I use a number 83 O ring to protect the firing pin when dry firing. I use this on my 1911’s too.
I just picked up the new P-09c Nocturne. I’ve had a few P-07’s before, including the P-07 Duty. Other than the extra texture grip, better slide serrations, and optic cut (RMSc), it feels just like the P-07. The Omega trigger needs break-in, so I dry-fire mine a couple hundred times a night.
I found a p07 duty with Mexican markings and a CZ 2000, both on the surplus market, I share this because I didn't jump on those. I have a p07 from the second development and I added a compensator for soft shooting. and your OD green is fresh. Cajun trigger job doesn't do well in the drop test, just saying.
@@kurt31451 it’s a good pistol, just not for me. The comments seem to mostly disagree with my opinion and that’s 100% ok, everybody likes something a little bit different. If you are looking for something in the Compact size class, you can’t go wrong with a P10-C or even the Glock 19. If I were personally buying one right now, I’d go for the P365 X-Macro in that capacity since it’s slimmer.
With your normal high grip your off hand is wrapped around the trigger guard (adding force low and left). When you’re using the modern grip you’re no longer doing that so I’m wondering if that’s why you’re hitting high and right
Boss there is a Gen 2 out long time ago, you reviewing a Gen 1 that had flaws which were already upgraded through the generation 2 model. You need to redo the review sir when you get your hands on the CZ PO7 Gen 2.
Hmm I was thinking this was the Gen2? It just says “CZ P-07” and not “CZ 75 P-07” on the slide. But maybe there’s an even newer model I’m not aware of?
@TheOutdoorGeneralist yes, there is a Gen 2 sir. There have been plenty reviews on the upgraded CZ PO7 and it's a great handgun especially for its price. Please take some time to check the reviews done already on the Gen 2, you will surely be surprised 😉
@anthonys8947 Gen 2 had no issues with jamming on shell releases bro, watch the full video and see. Only Gen 1s had issues and every review of a Gen 2 shows the gun does not jam. Noted on serrations and hammer Indeed
I have the p10f, p07, and p10c. P10f is most accurate. Trigger of the p07 needs a lot getting used to. P10c is the most ergonomic. P07 and p10c are probably both of similar accuracy. I find rapid fire easier to do with p07, not sure why. I plan to use p07 for appendix carry
@@marktolbert4047 I’d like too! Seems like they addressed a lot of the issues I had. The trigger seems to be the same from what I can tell, but that would be worth working on since the rest of the gun is squared away.
Love mine. I prefer da/sa guns over striker and have had a much nicer experience with this pistol over this guy.if your a striker fire guy I can see why you wouldn’t like this. Everyone’s hands are different so that’s going to play a big part. It’s a chunky pistol but it’s built like a tank. The trigger is a duty trigger not a competition trigger. I do love the look of them and the green frame is very cool.
It’s all Perspective & use case. I have a gun similar to p07, jericho 941 STEEL cz75 inspired just like this p07. It has literally a quarter of the pull & reset that this gun has. I’ve never had a accidental discharge but I don’t want a jericho 4lb hammer with barely any pull aiming directly at my balls all day even WITH the safety 😂 Mcarbo/cajun works package completely ruins this gun for me cause you can reduce it as far as 3lb-3.5lbs AND it’s aftermarket trigger work which I’m heavily against on a carry gun I might as well buy a shadow at that point 🤷🏾♂️. It ain’t my best gun but I’m accurate with the factory trigger. Light ass trigger I might as well get shadow or cheap 1911 commander which would cost the same after all the work is done. Or p10 like you said but I’d lose the hammer. If they update p07 ill consider it I like factory triggers for carry if this was a range gun I wouldn’t give af though Cajun mcarbo all day
appreciate your review.. i was considering one but after seeing your video as you pointed out some of the short comings of the trigger i will also wait for Version 2.0. thanks for your review
I think the P-01 and P-07 are generally regarded as about equal to each other. The difference being the P-01 has a metal frame and the CZ75 trigger (fantastic design), and the P-07 is a polymer frame with the Omega trigger. The P-01, specifically, has gone through extensive military/service torture training and is used by lots of forces around the world. Plus, it looks way cooler.
I have an 07 and 09 and I absolutely prefer my P-01 Omega and SP-01 Shadow. Carry the P-01 the majority of the time but i have been doing well in 2 gun with just a P10F with a 507Comp
I try to love my cz's , however I just don't like how short the slides are. I feel as if in a high stress situation it would be 1 more thing working against me if a malfunction happened
Probably now more than ever. It’s a very midsize/ small gun. But I’m coming from a fn510 10mm. So theirs that. However I needed a 9mm and I knew you can never go wrong with cz. Don’t want Glock as thats what everyone has so I wanted something different. When the trending thing right now is edc small guns. This has always fit the description
Never heard such nonsense with all those soft rounded off parts all over that gun with a high grip or a low grip really doesn't matter I shoot mine either way and if you feel uncomfortable what is it is it cutting your hands do you have lacerations all over the place now that are constantly causing you to bleed profusely spare me stop being a snowflake shoot the gun and be a man oh I digress that's the generation we live with now
I hear what you are saying. Newer generation has a lot of complainers. WIth that said, I recently had a gun that was pinching my finger and causing irritation. So, I changed it. Therefore, he has a good reason to complain. Also, use commas and periods.
I love my 07 , it’s my favorite poly pistol

Thanks for the tip!
Replace it with the cgw pin. Much stronger.
Somebody's not used to shooting da/sa guns 🤷🏾♂️ the p07 is a beast, especially for the price
Maybe it's the shooter and not the pistol.

Use snapcaps or you will be replacing the firing pin retaining pin soon. Ask me how I know.

Yep, or the o-ring trick.
Love my P07. I do like DA/SA pistols. The arthritis is starting to make it a bit tough.

Second gen of the P07 has been in the market for years. You are reviewing the gen 1.
No, that's a 'gen 2'. Hammer shape and front slide serrations. Also no lanyard loop.
