[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 1020964, member: 7815"] I don't have much to add to J.P.'s opening post: That's my take on the P-01. It has perfect handgun ergonomics. Seriously, I'm not exaggerating. Picking up a Glock is an exercise in dark comedy after handling a P-01. (The only folks who might disagree are those with very short fingers.) But once I started taking some handgun fighting classes, I began to shy away from my CZs for serious use, due to the small "captive" slide. That slide design makes some kinds of in-fight clearance manipulations quite difficult. On the P-01 it's even worse than a traditional steel frame CZ like the 75B. That's because the aluminum frame on the P-01 actually protrudes out well past the side of the slide, instead of being flush with it as in the steel CZs. Overall it is a pain compared to speed-racking a Glock or M&P. That is a flaw in a fighting pistol. Which sucks, because the captive slide also makes the P-01 (and other CZs) hellishly accurate for a combat pistol. Couple other thoughts on the P-01: * Trigger is not great but it improves with use, slowly. The more traditional styled CZ models with bare metal triggers (= metal parts smoothing metal parts) tend to develop better trigger pulls than the P-01 family. * CZs choke on ammo with aluminum cases, such as CCI Blazer. Do not buy one if you like to feed your pistols Blazer. Stick with brass-cased ammo and they are very reliable. My P-01 went over 2,000 rounds without a stutter, shooting brass cased. Then I tried one box of Blazer and got three jams in 50 rounds. Lesson learned. [/QUOTE]
