Got my CZ P0-1 out of jail yesterday..


..and she's a darling. Man, I really love this gun. The fit of this gun in my hand feels like it was custom made just for me. Brought it home from Reed's yesterday and gave it a cleaning and lube using FL paste. Went to Target Masters today and fired about 50 rounds S&B and 200 rnds of Fed Champion. No hiccups whatsoever.

Things I noticed which other CZ P0-1 owners have mentioned previously:

1. Yeah, you do notice lesser purchase on those serrations when racking the slide but it's not that bad really. It might only have been a problem in the beginning when the recoil spring hadn't been broken in a bit cause it was tough those first few mags. Afterwards, it was easier and probably will be as I fire more rounds.

2. That DA trigger is really tough as others have said. I ended up loading mags with 2 rounds only to practice successive DA/SA trigger pulls and then full mags, decocking each time, to practice DA trigger pulls only for one box of Federal. Trigger got easier a bit to pull but its still heavy. Gonna shoot a couple hundred more rounds to see how she feels before I try for a trigger job.

3. I'm not sure if it was the heavy DA trigger or people were right about that curved trigger, but my trigger finger really did start to hurt after about 150 rounds. Never felt that kinda pain with my XDM trigger. Going to try SA trigger pulls only for the same amount of rounds to see if it was just a problem with the DA trigger or the curved trigger istself.

4. And speaking of the SA trigger, yes, it reminds me of my factory XDM trigger. It has a long reset and lots of slack before it breaks. Nothing I can't adopt to but it's a far cry from a good 1911 trigger.

Anyhoo..I know. Pics or it didn't happen.


The gun itself after its cleaning from the range.

Crappy cell phone target pics at 10 yards with, I think, 4 10rnd mags worth of ammo.


And @ 25 yards with 4 10 rnd mags worth of ammo.
