Hi all.
I currently have a full size Para 1911 (7.45) that I carry for every day concealment. I am now coming to the decision that I am tired of carrying a full size 1911 and would like to try something smaller. I have pretty much made up my mind on my purchasing a CZ. However, I have some questions I'm hoping you guys can help me with.
I am looking at the CZ 2075 RAMI, the CZ P-01 or the CZ 75 Compact (40 S&W). I haven't been able to handle any of these guns as of yet but I will be doing so today after work. That being said my questions are:
1) CZ P-01 -- How "compact" is this pistol (for example when compared to the 1911)
2) I am really leaning toward the CZ 75 Compact but I am reading about some really bad reliability issues with this gun, especially concerning FTF's and FTE's. Obviously, since this is going to be my carry piece reliability is my main concern. Any opinions regarding said issues?
3) I really like the ability of carrying cocked and locked with my 1911. It appears that is not possible with the P-01 as it uses a decocker. I would assume that means the P-01 can only be carried with hammer down meaning the first trigger pull will always be double action only. Is that correct?
4) Customer service with CZ seems to be non-existent. Can anyone elaborate or have any first hand experience?
Thanks in advance.
