This afternoon after work I took the two CZs I picked up on Wednesday down to the range. I'm very impressed with both of them, and the P-01 is an amazing pistol with some of the best ergonomics I've ever seen in a gun.
How did I end with two coming home with me that day? I had ordered the P-01 through Bud's, and as I was finishing up the transaction Jimmy (the owner of the shop) says "Joel, before you leave I have something you might be interested in"
He goes out back and comes back with a nearly perfect CZ 75B that didn't appear to have been fired very much at all, and offers it to me at a VERY reasonable price. How could I say no?
After a thorough cleaning (the P-01 was dripping with cosmoline in the box!) and lube, I drove down to the range a few miles from my house. Put 100 rounds through the 75B, and 200 through the P-01 today without any problems at all. The workmanship on the CZs is impressive, they are solid and well-built with apparent attention to detail and quality.
Very nice triggers on both of them. The 75B can be carried cocked and locked (no decocker), and the single action is clean, light and crisp. The P-01 is DA/SA with a decocker.
The design with the slide inside the frame is pretty cool, and contributes to the impressive accuracy both guns showed today. I was really just getting the feel of them today, but keeping every round on a paper plate at 25 yards was easy.
Sorry, no pictures as our digital camera is buried somewhere around the house. One of the days I"ll post up some pictures of my growing collection.
A few weeks ago I also picked up a CZ-83, and am impressed by that one as well.
I have a feeling these CZs are going to become favorites of mine, comparable to the standing of my Sigs.
