I currently have no 9mm pistol host or CZ pistols (besides Scorpion Evo, which I love), looking to fix that with my next purchase!

Gun will be shot almost entirely suppressed I'm sure, and may end up on the nightstand with a can and light after a while. No plans to carry either option.


I originally was set on the P-09 but now I'm wondering if I should go SP-01.


Pros and Cons (that I know of):


P-09

Cheaper

Lighter

More capacity

Convertible FCG


Expensive mags


SP-01

Much cheaper/common mags

Probably less recoil and more balanced with can?


More expensive

Heavier

Less capacity

I have a P09 9MM and a P01, not the SP01.

The P09 recoil isn't bad at all.  The first time I fired it was right after firing my M&P .357 SIG.  I knew the P09 was going off but it felt like a fricking .22 or something after shooting the .357 SIG M&P.

The P01 (urban gray model) feels real good in my hand.  So far, it is not as accurate as the P09 though.

The mags for the P01 are about 1/2 the prices of the P09 magazines when you catch them on sale.  I got some +2 extenders from CZ USA, bought some 16 round (full size) magazines and now have several 18 round mags. for the P01.  Those +2's won't work on the full size guns due to the lip on the +2 sticking up over the bottom of the magazine.  

I would think the weight of a suppressor hanging off the barrel would reduce recoil even further.

SP-01 and swap in a CZ custom SAO trigger.

Best of everything that way.

 
I was in OKC a month or so back and Cold Hand Arms had a Blue Label one that I stupidly passed on thinking I'd wait for the P-09, should have grabbed it looking back. They had a UG SR P-07 and SP-01, held both, had cash in my pocket, and still left empty handed.






 

I don't mind SA/DA anyway, at least on my FNX-45T.
