Hi all,
The rangemaster at the local range turned me on to CZ-75s yesterday. He let me shoot one (CZ-75BD), and I was like WOW  I see the light 
I've been looking at all the different models and I think I'd like to buy the P01. I called around and nobody has one in stock; I'd have to order it online. I'd like to know before I bust out the plastic and place my order, though, how does the P01 grip compare to the CZ-75B grip? I found the CZ-75BD to be insanely comfortable to hold; is the P01 the same way, just shorter vertically? Anything else I should know about the P01 over the CZ-75B? Thanks

... is the P01 the same way, just shorter vertically? Yes; actually, many would consider the -01 models to be better, since they feature upswept beavertails instead of the "neutral" tang of the standard 75Bs. Quoted:
Anything else I should know about the P01 over the CZ-75B? - P-01 features a lightweight alloy frame instead of steel. - P-01 features the black recurve trigger as standard; a 75BD would have either the old (thick) or new (thin) style of standard silver trigger. (ETA - The triggers can be swapped once you have it, though it is hard to get original old-style triggers now.) |

Great! Thanks Walkure. I'm sold on the whole P01 concept but, since I couldn't go handle one at any local shops, I was unsure of whether I'd like it. I'm gonna take a leap of faith and order it. Gun porn and range report when it gets here.  The P-01 is a little chunky but otherwise has superb ergonomics. You'll shoot it like a laser beam. |

I throw my .02 on this as well.
The ergo's are FANTASTIC. it is a very smooth shooting gun. My only beef is that it is a DA/SA with a decocker. If they sold the P-01 like the 75B where its DA/SA and a manual safety where I could carry it condition 1, it would be THE perfect handgun. |

It looks like this is what you want (except maybe for the Omega trigger system) http://www.czub.cz/en/catalog/79-pistols-cz/PC/CZ_75_P-02.aspx |

I haven't seen one at any fun shops yet, but I do plan on handling one when they do come out to see if I like it. If so then I may replace the p-01 with it (or just save my pennies and add it to the collection without trading the p-01) |

One of the big problems with the Omega guns is the lack of parts availability - I still haven't heard of anyone being able to source the decocker conversion for the 75B-Omega stateside, let alone spare parts for the rest of the system. |

Yea you guys are right, they're not available here (yet). I picked up a couple P-01's from Top Gun and was reading on the CZ forum but I guess I didn't read it close enough  .
