Cz P01 Vs Pcr

[redarmy67]

in the first photo, it appears that the PCR has some kind of chambered round indicator and the P-01 doesnt. In the 3rd photo, it appears that the p-01 has a recessed button (not sure what this does) The same button for the PCR seems to pretrude from the side of the gun? I am guessing this isnt a big deal?

That "button", is the slide stop, where you depress it for disassembly. No, no big deal. Yes, the PCR has a LCR, the P01 does not.

What about a CZ 75 D Compact 9x19 model. Shape of a P01, but it says it's a 75D compact...

Anyone seen/heard of it?

Edit- in my research I learned these were imported from Europe last year to meet the spike in demand for firearms.

Is that the European version of the PO1?

It's the same gun. Look and the pictures above and read the slides. I believe that Top Gun Supply sold a bunch of "P-01's" with these markings as they were from Europe. Both my P-01 and PCR are marked the same. Buy it.

If I could only have 1 CZ it would be the PCR, I do own only 1 CZ and it is the PCR. I do like the loaded chamber indicator and sights, but I would have bought the P01 if they did not have a PCR. Really glad I have the CZ 75D PCR, it is my daily carry pistol, good enough to trust, not good enough to want another CZ pistol.

not good enough to want another CZ pistol.

Why do you say that?

I have a PCR that is my everyday carry gun. I really like it. I also have a mint 1980's Tanfoglio TZ-75 full sized clone. I will probably buy another Tanfoglio/EAA or CZ in .40 or .45 for range use. The CZ design is definitely my favorite design to shoot. There are other guns ( Berettas 84 and Browning BDA or Beretta 92 ) that I find to be sexier in appearance, but none so far that I prefer in my hand doing business.

Anybody own both? If so are the basically the same gun except the rail

I do own and shoot both and find little difference between them. However, having written that, I opt to carry the PCR as my EDC weapon because I find the rail on the P-01 to be a bit bulky for my taste.

Both are quality pieces.

I also own both. PCR is an IWB gun and the P01 is OWB. At least on me...........
