The modularity of some of these cz/cz clone pistols is quite amazing. We have the frame of my CZ p01 and the slide assembly from my Tristar P120. Slides right into place and functioned 100% at the range today when I had it in this configuration 
(CZ slide will NOT fit on p120 frame however, frames a tad too narrow) 
What are yall's thoughts on this? |

CZ has an NSN? What agency/branch uses it? The P-01 was put through the NATO durablity tests and passed, actually exceeded in many areas, and it got to wear the number meaning it was approved to be adopted by any NATO military. Read about it here: P-01 passes NATO tests I find it interesting that some big name pistols couldn't pass this test regiment. |

After looking at the OP's pistol I did some trials on my CZ's. I learned on thing in my quest: A slide from my P-01 will fit and function on my new 75B Omega but the Omega slide on top of the P-01 will not allow the gun to fire. Why? Well the Omega trigger uses only one transfer bar. There is a cut out on the slide that will prevent the pistol from firing unless the slide is fully forward. The 75's with the standard trigger have the cut out on both sides for the double sided transfer bars. On the Omega slide they omitted the cut out on the left side as they didn't need it. Its a shame then didn't just cut it anyway to make them interchangeable. But, the shorter P-01 slide works just great on the full size 75B lower as the extra cut out doesn't bother anyone.
Just a note on what is interchangeable and what is not. BTW: I have a Kadet Konversion for .22 It works with either gun even though CZ USA told me that I would have to upgrade to the Kadet 2 for it work on my new Omega equipped pistol. You just have to watch and slide one piece in the rear over a few thousands as you are putting the firearm back together. |
Those longer slides look better on the P-01 than the original does. I guess it's the full shroud and rail that does it on the frame. Now you need some standard 16-17 round mags with the extended floorplates.

It's national stock number which doesn't really mean anything, even toilet paper has a nsn. Except in this case it means that the P01 has passed a battery of tests to certify it for a NATO NSN: February 2003 The P-01 is now a NATO classified pistol and issued the NATO stock number NSN 1005-16-000-8619. The CZ P-01 is the culmination of several years of exhaustive design and testing. Ceska Zbrojovka has always had some of the most rigorous testing requirements in the world but, the Czech National police has required that they go even further, the testing regiment for this new pistol was the most demanding anyone has ever encountered. There are almost 20 specific requirements covering everything from accuracy to interchangability, from safety to reliability/durability and everything in between. The pistol: The CZ P-01 is a Gen 3 pistol that began as a requirement for a lightweight compact pistol that will deliver the accuracy and durability of a full size, full weight pistol. This was no small task, several manufacturers declined to even start the project. The first thing you notice about this pistol is the M3 light rail on the frame, a first for CZ, the alloy frame is a little wider at the top than a steel CZ 75. This adds strength and rigidity for mounting the light and increasing the accuracy and service life of the pistol. The P-01 also sports enhanced controls as well as a drop free magazine and a lanyard loop. The pistol was required to pass a wide variety of tests: The police required that the pistol ensure the highest level of comfort, an extended slide release was added as well as an extended magazine release and the trigger was reshaped to give a more consistent pull throughout the trigger stroke. The pistol must be 100% reliable in extreme conditions, the following is a list of some of the minimum requirements. Must be able to complete the following without failure: 4000 dry firings 3000 De-cockings Operator level disassembly 1350 times with out ware or damage to components. Complete disassembly 150 times, this is all the way down, pins, springs etc. 100% interchangability, any number of pistols randomly selected, disassembled, parts mixed and reassembled with no failures of any kind including loss of accuracy. Safety requirements: Drop test 1.5 meter (4.9”) drop test, this is done 54 times with the pistol loaded (blank) and the hammer cocked. Dropping the pistol on the butt, the muzzle, back of the slide, sides of the gun, top of the slide, in essence, any angle that you could drop the gun from. This is done on concrete and 0 failures are allowed! A failure is the gun firing. 3meter drop (9.8”) 5 times with the pistol loaded (blank) and the hammer cocked, This is done on concrete and 0 failures are allowed! A failure is the gun firing. After these tests are complete the gun must fire without service. The factory contracted an independent lab to do additional testing on guns that previously passed the drop tests. These pistol were dropped an additional 352 times without failure. The pistol must also complete an environmental conditions test: This means cold, heat, dust/sand and mud. The pistol must fire after being frozen for 24 hours at –35C (-36F). The pistol must fire after being heated for 24 hours at 70C (126F) The pistol must fire after being submerged in mud, sand and combinations including being stripped of oil then completing the sand and mud tests again. Service life: The service life requirement from the Czech police was 15,000 rounds of +P ammo! The pistol will exceed 30,000 rounds with ball 9mm. Reliability: The reliability requirements for the P-01 pistol are 99.8%, that’s a .2% failure rate. This equals 20 stoppages in 10,000 rounds or 500 “Mean Rounds Between Failure” (MRBF) During testing, the average number of stoppages was only 7 per 15,000 rounds fired, this is a .05% failure rate, a MRBF rate of 2142 rounds! Over 4 time the minimum acceptable requirement. The U.S. Army MRBF requirement is 495 rounds for 9mm pistols with 115 grain Ball ammunition. |
