For those that own both a CZ P07 and a P09, do you feel the P07 makes the larger gun redundant?
I've had a P07 for a few years and thoroughly enjoy it. It's the original "DUTY" version with the fixed backstrap. I am greatly impressed with the light weight, accuracy, and the fact that the grip is pretty much the same dimensions as my Sig P6 but it holds twice as many rounds. I shoot it as well as anything in my collection.
I just picked up a P09 locally; I figured a bigger version of the P07 would be really cool, and of course it is! I got it to a plinking session today and found it to be just as accurate and controllable as the P07. Actually I shot it side-by-side with my SP01 and it felt just like a lighter version of that gun.
The thing is, the long grip that accommodates the 19-round mags is far too long for me to carry. It's longer than the "full-size" frame of the SP01 as well.
I won't be competing with it (no time); it's a bit redundant as an HD gun with the SP01 in the safe.
I can't help but think that I should get rid of it, and that the P07 will pretty much fill my needs. I can get extended mags for it if I need more capacity.
Honestly, what I really want is a P09 slide on a P07-sized frame. It fits but the dust cover on the P07 frame is too short, leaving some of the recoil spring exposed. I wonder if anyone has shortened a P09 grip frame and set it up to use P07 magazines and backstraps...
Thoughts?
