| I am about to buy my first CZ and its coming down to steel vs polymer. I haven't been able to get my hands on a p07 but I fondled a p01 and really liked it.. |

Quoted: I've had both. The DA trigger reach on the P01 was a little farther than I was comfortable with, but the P07 is fine. |

Quoted: The stock grips are wider than the stock P07. Even the large backstrap has less circumference than the P01, and the trigger face is different. Thin grips make a big difference if reach is an issue. Quoted: Quoted: I've had both. The DA trigger reach on the P01 was a little farther than I was comfortable with, but the P07 is fine. |

If you aren't invested in either the P-series or CZ75 series already mag wise, either is a great gun.
I'm seriously invested in CZ75 mags already so the metal frames make sense for me to continue with. I am seriously considering a P-07 though. If Mecgar made P-09/P-07 mags, I'd buy one tomorrow. Prices on factory mags are too damn high for me to make the leap currently. |

My first CZ was a P07 in .40 S&W (no difference for EDC/grip/size/feel vs. the 9MM, just wanted to mention it up front). It is still, my EDC.
I got an urban gray P01 early in the summer. I really like the way if feels in my hand. However it is just not, so far, as accurate as the P07. Also, it just doesn't seem to carry as well for me either. When I carry the P07 I find myself rubbing the inside of my arm on it now and then to confirm it's still there. When I carry the P01 I have no problem knowing it's there as it aggravates the snot out of the inside of my arm. Once I get it back from CZ USA (front night sight died on it a couple weeks back) I'll carry it some more to see if the "feel" of it becomes less annoying. Both are good pistols but you may find, like me, that one just does better for you than the other. |

I am going through the same thought process right now. Some local gun stores have the P01 and the P07. They both feel great, but for me the P01 controls fit me just a bit better. The slide release is just a little closer and is easier to reach. That is kind of a bummer since the P07 would probably be better for concealed carry, lighter etc. The grips on the P01 are a bit thick so G-10 grips would be nice. |
