I just cant decide which one I want.

Currently I have :
SP-01 (threaded)
VP9 (threaded)
USP FS (threaded)
USPC
G17(31 converted) (threaded)
G19 (32 converted)

My favorites are the SP-01 and USP.

The glocks are OK, and reliable, easy to shoot, but boring. Looking to add another supressor ready gun to my stable.

Currently I dont have any compact threaded guns, but my only 9mm can is a huge ass but very quiet mystic X. I may get a small 9mm can in the future.

So my thoughts -
Prices I can get these for
P07- 449
p09 - 529 (or a local guy selling a new one for 625 with 3 extra mags)

P07 pros - can carry if wanted. Dont have any threaded compact sized guns. Neat size. great capacity (15/17 ) for that size gun. Great deal for a threaded gun with NS for 449. Rumor is - can work with cz75 mags? (but they extend out)

P09 pros - TWENTY ONE ROUNDS. Huge awesome 9mm handcannon.

P07- cons - small? less capacity. not as easy to run hard?
P-9 cons- 80 bucks more. Big. Could never conceal it. Mags are expensive with no mec gar option. (why are cz brand mags full retard price and more than my vp9 mags?)

I cant get both. I dont have the coin to do so. I can only pick one. I blew the rest of my wad on the SP-01.

If it helps I dont have huge bear hands. Average. But I dont have stubby fingers.

Im leanign toward the 07, but the capacity of the P09 just screams awesome.

You gotta go P09, at least buy it first.  When I was working in a gun store, I had to make a similar decision.  The firepower and sight radius of the 09 decided it.

I have both guns you are  trying to choose from.  I would go with the P07 since you already have a SP01 threaded.  My 2 cents

The P-07 comes with +2 base plates installed on the 2 magazines.

With the +2 extensions the grip length of the P-07 is just slightly smaller than a P-09 with regular magazine plates, like not even a 1/4" I believe.
You also get 2 more rounds in the P-09 this way for a total of 19 in the magazine.

It seems that a lot of people that are concealing the P-07 are doing so with the +2 plates installed.
Slide length isn't a concern for me concealing,  grip length is much more of a concern as far as printing and comfort for me.

I have 2 UG P-09's,  1 FDE P-09, 1 UG P-07, 1 FDE P-07.

Every day its either the UG P-07 or P-09,  I carry IWB with a stealthgear holster.

Their holster for the P-09 just fits the threaded barrel of the P-07, although I used a heat gun for 25 seconds and pushed in the threaded P-09 so the holster flared at the end for the barrel.  
Looks as though it was made that way.

So with that holster I've been carry both models.
I find myself carrying the P-09 more.
I set a magazine up with the regular plate for carry.
I'm 5'8" 146 lbs. T shirt and jeans.

If I had to pick one it would be the P-09.

ETA if regular plates are used, hands down the P-07 is easier to conceal.

I have both and like both

get the P-07, and order a P-09 spare magazine.














P-07 compared to Glock23/19




I paid about $384 for my P-09 from grabagun

I paid more for my P-07

I'm CCW'ing the P-07 now, it's wonderful.

Since I have the SP-01 I am indeed leaning toward the P-07. Its very attractively priced. And people say it takes SP01 Mags?

I have two P-09's - one in 9mm and the other in 40 S&W. The P-09 is the most accurate 9mm and 40 I've ever shot.. The P-09 is slim as a 1911 and I can easily carry in my hidden, (I'm 6.3 ) The P-07 seems a little small to me.

I chose the P-07 Urban just for the size.... a lil easier to EDC.

I am liking it so far, my Kydex holster doesn't cover the threaded barrel portion and rubs on my car seat but, I will opt for a different holster in the future.

My full size CZ75 mags from Mec-Gar fit and lock into my P07 just fine. Not even a real wiggle.

IM loving this gun but the trigger SUCKS. It needs a CGW kit in a bad, bad way.

Afetr a couple hundred in parts - might be my fav smaller gun

The trigger bar is stamped and has nasty amounts of burrs on it, and the trigger bar support spring is badly over-tensioned. Pull it off the trigger bar, bend it down, and then slide it back underneath. That will help DA immensely. Polishing the trigger bar will clean up DA and SA quite a bit.



SA is mostly the hammer. You could smooth up the hooks and the sear, but don't start taking off any metal.

get +4 plates for your p07, best of both worlds.

Great if you have a 9mm, But i chose .40 for its subsonic nature. I do wander if it will run on a .40 mag though ?
