12 Volt thanks alot.
Great, great thread.....first off Ill say I have both....but the PO1 is 12 Volts.
Let me back up and let you guys in on a couple of key points regarding the "actual PO1"
CZUB...as much as I love them, marketed the hell out of it and some (most) of it never happened. Improved metallurgy, etc etc....
According to Mike at CZUSA and other CZUB aware sources..the guns are made from the same metals exactly.
What the PO1 is, IS a different version of the PCR....the "next step" so to speak. The requirements of the Czech police have been known by CZUB for a long time....or the PCR (Policia Czech Republic) would not have been produced. The testing done on the PO1 was on PCR's at first and is part of the 3 years of exhaustive testing......LOL
The guns are the same except the frame dimensions at the muzzle end, a loaded chamber indicator, sights and slide serration differences. Thats it.
According to CZUB the PO1 is the first CZ to be have fully interchangeable parts. Machining tolerances were tightened up to accomplish this another difference or start of a change...most or all CZ's are made this way now.
Earlier it was stated the PCR is the better carry and the PO1 the better side arm. Thats my take on it exactly. The light rail has little advantage in a CCW situation.."Is that an M6 in your pants or are you just glad to see me?"
In a home defense gun Yes...it has advantages. The PCR is slimmer, lighter and thus, conceals easier. The PO1's added muzzle weight may help with faster followup shots. Flip a coin or your M6 light...see how it lands.
Both are great guns....the choice is as easy as what the guns intended purpose is....and if you can get one with Hi Caps...LOL
Shoot well
