Geno kindly let me shoot his BHP but it didn't really do anything for me. Very nice guns but just not for me.

I have both. The BHP is a lot skinnier, the P01 is a lot lighter. I'm not giving up either one.

I just looked at the PCR and it looks nice to. What exactly are the differences? Is it just the sights and that the PCR is a hair lighter?
Ahhh I just looked it up and saw that the PCR doesn't have a rail. I don't really think I'm ever going to use the rail so maybe I should have gone with the PCR... but I'm not even close to disappointed in my choice (of course its in the mail atm but hopefully that won't change upon arrival).

That was my own reason for choosing it (which I like very much, BTW).
Another difference not apparent to the naked eye is that the PCR's frame is cast while the P-01's is forged (both are aluminum alloy).

P0-1 is as fine a pistol as is made I, too, did a ton of research, then when I handled one for the first time, I bought it on the spot, to the utter shock of my spouse who thought I'd need at least 6 mos. to make up my mind!
2,500 rounds later, it just keeps shooting where I point it, any ammo, w/o a burp or a hitch of any kind.
And we CZ guys have to be much smarter than Glock guys, remember all those testimonials from Glock owners about how they "dropped their Glock in the mud and it still shot fine"? CZ people don't drop their arms in the mud , instead we can rely on objective testing to establish our weapon's reliability!

Smarter, well, I wouldn't denigrate all Glock people like that...
I do like when a major police Dept drops Glock and goes with CZ...and yes, that did happen.

You are gonna be so sorry when you shoot that CZ because in a year from now you will have at least one more.
Seriously the best auto I have ever owned and I have been around since before dirt.

I've had several CZ P01s. All were fine pistols. However, I have no use for a rail on a handguns so I have sold all my P01s. I still have two CZ PCRs though.
Here's a picture of one of them.
Best regards.

Thia national police. Philip. national police, aand a few more for 2010 as the testing
continues and depts upgrade existing CZ contracts or replace old arms with new CZeds.
As for the PCR. my wife dearly loves hers.
We are now Glock free! (anyone need Glock annuals, posters and Glock memorabilia?)
The PCR served the Czech police and others for many years until the P-01
came along and passed even stricter testing.
The same platform (P-01)has also been modified to .40 caliber (P-06) that
has been a huge success for CZUB and CZ-USA in this country.
Basically, if you don't need a light or laser on your gun, the PCR is
the one to have.
Some dedicated PCR fans think it's the very best CZ made, esp. for CCW.
Let us know when you get that CZ!

I am one of the few that really didn't care for the P01. My hands are on the large side and my little finger would rest halfway on the mag baseplate. The curved trigger is annoying and it really needed a trigger job.
That's why I have a CZ 75BD.

huduguru, yes, that is sadly ironic. BUT, they will be testing the P-07 for thier issue as well, as well as the Czech National Police.
Yes, the Phillipene National Police just started the process of switching from the Glock to the CZ P07, 118,000 officer department.

if you don't like your cz75, there's something inherently wrong with you.

I have three CZs. Two 75Bs, one stainless the other with black polycoat. The black one is an older version with rounded trigger guard and spur hammer. Number 3 is a PCR and it's my current house gun.
When I was at the gun shop deciding between the P-01 and PCR the rail was the deciding factor. I don't use a rail and the PCR looked trimmer without the full length dust cover so it followed me home.

About 1000 Glocks were bought for 601. skss to replace old vz.82 (9mm Mak.), CZ75 is kinda rare coz´army didnt care for handguns until just recently. And some noncomabatant units even use vz.52 .. from what i heard.
About rifles: Few guys had M4 Bushmaster in A-stan, as they were conforming to US units they served with..
CZF, it is true that as far as I know, only one unit uses G-17's but
that unit is a special forces unit which probably fires many more
rounds per trooper than other units. I am assuming that they are a Green
Beret or Seal type of unit(not as good though) .

I got the pistol today and so far its everything I hoped it would be. i was worried that the grip would be too short or not as comfortable to me as the full-size but that isn't a problem. I still have it wrapped up in the cellophane or whatever it came in though since I'm going to be moving in a couple of weeks and want to wait until I'm settled in to get at it. Again thanks to everyone for making me aware of this (so far) great pistol.
