Its been a long week, waiting to get my new P-01 to the range.
My son and I took my 75B, the P-01 and a Bersa Thunder 380. As expected, the P-01 digested everything we put into it. It cycled cleanly, and followup shots were easily brought back onto the target.
I shot one-handed, two-handed aimed isoceles and two-hand point shooting. I shot singles and double taps.
The accuracy with Winchester white box from Wallyworld (115 grain) was acceptable, but not stellar. However, with some handloaded 124 grain LRN, the groups were awesome, coming in at 1 inch at ten yards (magazine resting on the bench - no sandbags).
This was accomplished with stock springs and a stock trigger. I just dry fired a few hundred times while watching the tube this week.
As a general rule, the CZ 75B is more accurate than most stock service pistols on the market. However, I feel the P-01, despite its shorter barrel, is more accurate than the 75B. As with most CZs, the ergonomics on the P-01 are a dream.
On my next visit to the range, I'll be shooting hollowpoints, to get an idea how they'll feed, as I intend to use the P-01 as my primary carry pistol. The Bersa Thunder 380, which is a drop-dead reliable pistol, is my alternate carry piece.
