... from Academy Sports. Its a 9mm compact, with an allloy frame, hammer forged barrel and two 14 round magazines.
The recoil spring is flat wound, which is a little different than my CZ 75B.
The decocker is better designed than the one on my Bersa Thunder 380. It pivots clockwise from the 3:00 position, and is a controlled decock. The Bersa is a counter-clockwise decock from the 9 o'clock position, with a more sudden release. The CZ can be easily decocked while holding the gun in a two-handed grip. The Bersa is far less user firendly in this regard, requiring a determined effort to decock from a two handed grip.
The P-01's grips are made out of a rubberlike material, which provides a more slip resistant surface than the 75B. The baseplate on the magazines are rubber as well.
The trigger is a bit on the gritty side, which I've come to expect from CZ. I'll have to decide whether I want to have the trigger stoned, or whether I just want to let time and a few thousand rounds smooth it out.
Overall, the ergonomics are way better than my CZ 75B. While the 75B is a quality pistol in every sense of the word, the P-01 is simply better. Its no surprise that the P-01 received a NATO serial number.
I can't wait to get this one out to the range.
