CZ P-07 Duty?

[Doogledog]

Does anyone have any experience with a CZ P-07 Duty? I have an opportunity to look at one tomorrow and I may purchase it. I've read really good things about CZ's but there isn't really any place around here for me to rent one to try out. How concealable is this thing? How does it compare to a XD-9?

It is size comparable to the P01 and P06. The triggerguard LOOKS huge in pictures, in person I can guarantee you it is not quite that large! I have had a top world class professional shooter tell me flat out, "I don't like polymer guns - I like the P07."
it handles well, good grip, trigger is great, only downside is a proprietary 16 round magazine, CZ Compact mags won't fit.
I will have one soon, and will post MANY pictures and reviews as soon as I can!
Also, come over to czforum.com, see the good bad and ugly in the P07 Club.

None of us have ever heard of such a thing

Just got a P07 this weekend for 450.00. Cleaned the gun and put about 400 rounds through it. Half was WWB, half reloads 124gr Berry bullets light loads. No FTF No FTE. Magazines full loaded with one in the chamber. Magazines dropped freely.

First impressions double action trigger is a little rough. So was my SP01 but after 1000 rounds it really smoothed out. I figure this would be the same. Single action is nice and smooth though. There's also quite a bit of overtravel and reset in my opinion.

Overall feel of the gun is very comfortable. Sights are just okay, probably will switch later with fiber optic whenever one comes out. So far with my first range trip to the range i like it. After a few more range trips and maybe using it in an match, i'll decide if it's a keeper.

I have a Blackhawk XD that fits, but the retention button doesn't engage. It does stay in holster though.

Here are some pics next to my Glock 19. Since the G19 is similar in size i figure i'd use it as a comparison. The P07 has a much slimmer grip.

wow, nice g19 vs. p07 pics. i had no idea.

Very cool comparison. Great for the CZ curious, as the G19 will be the
gun most people think of when they think Compact 9mm.

My first pistol

I bought the CZ P-07 75 Duty as my first concealed handgun. I am a smaller female and the gun fit very nicely in my hands. I also like the tail on the back of the gun. I know the trigger gaurd looks huge but like the person before me, it is not that bad in person. Previously I had been shooting an HK P-2000 and I loved it but I love the CZ, the smart sights are great in my opinion. The DA was a little rough at first but is smoothing out with use and the SA is amazing. My only problem I had is the magazine release. I read that a number of people thought it was the packing grease but I can assure you that was not the issue. As a solution my boyfriend (by far the expert) screwed in a small screw on the top of the magazine and the problem has pretty much been resolved. I have attached pictures so that anyone else who may have this problem might be able to use our solution.




I think it is very concealable, maybe not as easy for me but I am working on my options. I am looking for IWB for the small of my back, something like a smart carry. I am also trying to find thigh holsters. I know it is a very new gun so I hav to give it some time before there are many holsters available, I am just not crazy for the bulkiness of the holster that CZ offers. Anybody else have any luck?

 

[burningsquirrels]

what was the deal with the screw? putting in that area makes me think you had a slide lock-back issue where the magazine follower wasn't pushing the slide lock up to lock the slide back after the last round fired.

put more than 500 rounds through my p07 majority reloads, the only problem i had was cosmetic, the white mark on the front sight post some how disapeared but some white paint fixed that.

mazinggrace, call 1-800-955-4486, that's CZ-USA's toll free number. Ask to speak to matt or Justin in parts - they'll swap out magazines that are not working correctly.

I'd like to see some pics of your gun and both of you shooting.. plus some pics of your Duty holster from CZ-USA, if possible.

Also, if you are not a forum member. You and your boyfriend are welcome to join us.

WE even have a nice section for the Ladies.

Myself and other are always interested in the female perspective of CZ owning and shooting.



So, please come in for a look.
