I went to try out a few of the guns and see which one I wanted to buy, but nobody had all of them in stock. In fact, many of the stores didn't even have any CZ pistols at all. Sad. We were moseying through Utah county and decided to try a couple stores there to see if they had anything. First was Get Some in Orem. They were the first store that had the suppressor ready model there. Unfortunately it was on layaway for another customer. But they let me check it out and see what I thought. It was the P-09 model, and was quite nice. The SA trigger was amazing. Since that was the only one there, we didn't end up buying one. Before the employee brought out that one, he had another suppressor ready model that he brought out. I immediately told him I wanted the other one, since this model of the P-09 didn't have suppressor sights. Here is the link for that version. I told him the sights are high enough to see over the can. He said I just need to get a Silencerco Osprey. I advised him that I already had one, and they aren't tall enough. He wanted to prove me wrong, so he went and snagged an Osprey. I said that I tried to use standard Glock sights with it, and that they weren't tall enough. He still didn't believe me. After putting in the piston, putting it up to the gun, he noticed he may be wrong. After screwing it on the barrel, it was confirmed that he was wrong. He was happy for the new information.

Cruising a little deeper into Utah County, we went to Gunnies. Amazingly enough, they had the P-07 and P-09 suppressor ready models in their case.


In the store the guns we tried were a bit stiff in the slide area. Cycling the action, they weren't anything fantastic. I thought it was mostly because they needed to be cleaned and oiled. I was right. Getting the gun home, I cleaned it up and oiled the gun. The action was much, much smoother.

I really like the color. It's Urban Grey, which is grey and FDE mixed together. This makes a color that goes really well with the black slide and other parts.
It comes from the factory with an ambidextrous decocker, If you would rather have a safety, it comes in the box and can be switched out by the user fairly easily, from what I hear. The safety is also ambidextrous. I like the decocker, so I won't be switching it out for now.
The magazine usually holds 15 rounds, but this version has a +2 base pad on both mags. So it holds 17+1. The P-09 comes the same way, and usually holds 19, but with the extra capacity, is a 21+1 gun straight from the factory. If you don't like the +2 base plates, it also comes with the standard base plates that can be easily switched out. Or you can have the standard 15 round mag for carrying, and the 17 round mag as a backup.
The back straps are interchangeable. It comes with the smallest one on the gun. A medium and large back strap are in the box.
The mag release is steel, and is located in a great place. It's simple to reach, and isn't sharp or pokey like some others that I have used. The Glock gen 3 mag releases are usually pretty sharp, and for me who doesn't have small hands, I have to change my grip a bit to get a good press on it. I would say it's probably my favorite mag release I've had on a gun. Not that it's a reason to buy the gun, but it's a well made piece.
Besides watching videos on this and other CZ guns, one of the reasons I wanted to get one is that it's different from what a lot of people have. There are so many Glocks, M&P's, XD's, and other similar guns, it's cool to have something different that's not seen a lot at ranges or even gun stores. That's one of the reasons I wanted the Lionheart LH9 MKII as well. It's different, smooth, and a neat little gun.
Range session:
We cruised to The Armory to try out the new gun. Unfortunately Mrs. Snurd wasn't able to shoot it since she's quite prego, so she watched from the window. I shot about 4 magazines with 5 rounds per mag and the shots were 2-3 inches high and a bit to the right. I figured I would need to get used to it, and after those mags, they started hitting just above point of aim. I would say the first 4 mags were probably about a 2" group at 7 yards, and once it got a few rounds through it, the group shrunk a lot. I decided to pull in the target to 5 yards and test it there. I had one ragged hole with a 5 round group. That was the best group I had for the day. I also tested it with the suppressor on it, and it was hitting really well with that screwed onto the end. I shot a total of 95 rounds through it today.
There were a few others shooting close by, so I asked if they wanted to try it out with the suppressor on it. All three tried it out, and really liked it. One of the guys that I let shoot the CZ said he didn't like the polymer guns. Didn't like Glocks or most of the others. He has a Sig P320, but I guess wasn't really impressed with it. He said that he REALLY liked the CZ. He was surprised it was a CZ, and said he would be getting one.


This little CZ is an awesome gun. It's really smooth, the trigger is great, and it has great options straight from the factory. The price? For the suppressor ready version, it was $499.99 at Gunnies. That's a crazy good price for a setup like this. Most guns, you pay for the gun and still need the sights and threaded barrel. A lot of the polymer guns you can get for around $500-$550, but then for the tritium suppressor sights, you are probably going to pay around $125-150, and the threaded barrel is around $125-$250.
I am very happy that Mrs. Snurd allowed me to pick this up.
