I am looking at a CZ40P and don't know much about it. Anyone have one? Anybody know anything about them? $300NIB. I am looking for a plane jane range gun and this is a pretty good price. Any feedback would be nice.
Thanks

It is a CZ 40 sub-compact(.40 S&W version of P-01) with a rail.  10rd cap.  Higher caps in the works apparently.  It is a Czeska Zbrojovka made in the Uhersky Brod so I have no doubts on reliability and quality.  It is just a 1 year limited production gun.  For the price I am certain it is good.

It'll take the 12 rd mags from the .40 cal CZ75 if you use the baseplates from the 40P mags. It's also not a .40 cal version of the P-01. It's a 40B slide on a P-01 frame. Nothing more, nothing less.

I have one.  It's a good buy for the money.  

The trigger pull is a little long, other than that. I like it fine.  

If I had it to do over again, I would just get the CZ 75B, though.

You're supposed to buy the 40P, P-01, 40B, 75B, 97, 2075 RAMI, and the 83. CZ pistols are like Lay's potato chips...you can't have just one.

This is IMHO one of the best handgun deals going right now.
I have 3 CZ's and they are great.
I really doubt you will be disappointed in the handling charecteristics, accuracy, or reliability of CZs.

I am a Beretta man through and through, but I bought one of these as a gift for my father on a lark for $315 at the gunshow last year.  Dad loved shooting my Centurion and wanted a caliber for home defense larger than his old .22s.  

After buying him one and shooting it myself, I must say that I am constantly on the lookout for another one for myself!!  The gun just feels good, full magazine or empty magazine, recoil is not a problem or too sharp, and the grip angle and thickness still feels natural and comfortable after 100 or 200 rounds.

Like I said, I'm still looking for another one...

I just picked up a 40p  at J&G Sales for $299 and love this pistol.
It has all the great characteristics of the venerable ol' CZ-75 - just updated with a rail and a fantastic price. What a deal....shoots great too of course.
I Highly recommend it.

Forgot to mention I am particularly impressed witht the slide- to- frame fit of this pistol. Remarkably smooth for a "Budget gun", if I dare say so
Those Czech guys are serious about the the guns they make, at whatever price.

J&G is about the only place to get them.  The slides were origianly intended for the CZ built Colt Z40.  That deal went south and CZ was stuck with a ton of slides.  You can see where they milled out the Colt marking.  

The Czechs can be goofy sometimes.  I took a look at the P-01 and loved the gun in general but was bummed it was only available in 9mm.  They don't make a 40 with the decocker.  There was no one pistol CZ made that had all the features I want.  

Then I saw the 40P in the SGN.  Duh, there it is a 40 on the P-01 frame with the decocker.  So here is the pistol everyone wants and what does CZ do?  Blow it out at a super low price!  Man I just don't get it.  I'd market the thing as somthing special.

BTW at the $299 J&G is offering you are getting a hell of a deal.  I bought mine directly from CZ since they are my employer and I didn't save much over the J&G price.
