I did a lot of homework researching a 9mm for carry. The P-01 is the one that made the cut. I have had numerous handguns but sold most all of them off. The CZ P-01 is the only 9mm I was not willing to part with. I recently held a Model 75 D in my hand, but it did not fit me as well as the P-01. This particular pistol is also a favorite with friends & family at the range. Others that don't own handguns often sampled some of mine during matches or just plain fun shooting at the clubs. The CZ P-01 is the hands down favorite among these people. I've never had a negative experience with it. I'd run an IDPA course with it, carry it on the property for HD and carry it concealed de-cocked. I'd trust this pistol 100% to perform as needed in any situation.
