Cz p-07

[Bozwell]

Bummer about the sight. I think I know the sights you're talking about. I really wasn't impressed with the sights that originally came on my phantom and have since replaced them with a competition rear/fiber front. For target work, I'm a big fan of this combination. However, the tritium sights on my LE are very nice. If you end up changing them out for a better night sight, I'd highly recommend those.

but I love the gun

You sure had me fooled!

I know how you feel. Once a firearm has disappointed it is hard not to sell it.
Once I sold a replacement weapon from another manufacturer because I just didn't "want" it anymore. It happens.

Good Luck.

Well, I for one can say that I intend to get one in the near future.

You sure had me fooled!

Up until the first one developed problms people thought I worked for CZ. I have never liked a gun as much as I liked that one. Now I'm just so torn. I love everything the first gun was, but it betrayed me. Now this one will always be a little suspect.

I went into the shop friday to look around and most likely pick up a G19. I walked out with a gun I had done no research on... the CZ 75 P-07.

I love this gun.

Mine is a 2010 (A81xxxx) and indeed the magazines are very stiff at first (couldn't get the 16th round in either mag, got 16 in after 24 hours of being loaded with 15) Also... the magazines are very hard to insert & eject when fully loaded. Works perfectly with 15 rounds loaded, but i have to force the mag in at 16. I have to press very hard to get it to release a full mag as well. This may work itself out in time though...

I shot it today & can say the trigger blows my other two pistols (G22 & SR9) out of the water...

I picked mine up at Gander Mtn (with a Nebo ProTec Elite HP190 light included) for $450 (probably could have done better at a Mom&Pop but probably not once you include the light, i know, im a sucker for a gimmick) Mine has a manual safety instead of the decocker also. I know that can be switched easily but I think I prefer the safety over the decocker.

now for the REAL question... what are you guys carrying your P-07 in? I was looking for a decent leather belt holster but the results online are SCARCE to say the least (don't know if i can make myself drop $90+ on a boutique)

CZ sent me a replacement pistol. It is a newer 2011 manufactured gun. The polymer is more sturdy, the serrations are deeper, and the recoil sping and guide rod are now a captive setup. Everything has loosened up and works as smooth as butter.

I've put about 15 rounds through the gun. It feels stronger and more stable. So far I am happy with it.

As far as carrying goes, I use a BLACKHAWK! universal holster I bought for $13. It actually feels more comfortable than the High Noon holster I tried out.

 

[DinosaurJones]

Oo. I wonder if I can buy a captive recoil spring for mine...

 

[iblong]

For the weight difference I'll stick with my P-01.

 

[armoredman]

I wouldn't mind trying the rebuilt P-07, sounds nice. Now comes in OD green, and a suppressor ready set up with threaded barrel and higher sights.

Dino, the best P-07 holster I ever used is the High Noon ones - they do carry some cheaper versions than the $130 ones...but they are worth it.

I just got mine today and I'm slightly concerned. Is the rear sight for anyone else not centered? Mines about .025 inches to the right of center. Though it doesn't seem like it, it is definitely enough to show that it is over on one side more then the other. Is this something I should be prepared to either attempt to fix myself, bring to a gunsmith to line up properly or things ought to be alright?

 

[Quick Shot xMLx]

You know now that you mention it my sight is also about a hair to the right. I'm guessing that's how it's supposed to be because mine is very accurate.

 

[cyphirx]

Ya, after a bit of digging, I saw people mentioning that as long as the stamp lined up on the slide and sight that you should be fine and most of the shots on the test page appeared alright so I guess it should be fine. I'm anxious to give her a go next weekend now to see how she'll do.

picked up some leather today from Gazelle... it's EXTREMELY stiff... have to force the gun in and out... $50 on ebay. It occurred to me after fooling with this for a minute that I don't think this holster is molded for the p-07, even though the ebay description said it was. bah... I think it's for an M&P... anyone want to buy it?
