Legendary Design Quality. Debuting in 1975, the 75 Series is the flagship of the CZ handgun line. With over one million produced, it is easily one of the most succesful handgun platorms of all time. This particular variant, the CZ P-01 is a compact, aluminum-framed 9mm designed for LE and Military duty, but its compact size and the reduced weight due to its forged alloy frame make it ideal for discrete carry as well. Equipped with a decocker or safety, the P-01 provides convenience for those who prefer hammer-down carry. With a heavy first-round trigger pull, any additional shots are a light, crisp single action.

The P-01 was the first CZ model to benefit from updated manufacturing technology at CZ�s Uhersky Brod factory. Since the time of its introduction (designed in 2001, NATO-approved in 2003) the production upgrades have been rolled out to the rest of the CZ 75 family and several new rifle models as well.

With over 60 years of experience in small arms design and manufacture, CZ is regarded as one of the small arms leaders in the world. CNC machining and skilled personnel ensure the highest quality standards at CZ. The P-01 features a 3.8" hammer forged barrel. Its tight tolerances and low felt recoil are due in part to an ingenious internal slide rail design that maximizes reliability, while also reducing the chance dirt or fouling will impede the pistols dynamic function.

While every other pistol design in the world uses external rails, the P-01's unmistakably internal rail design lowers the pistols center of gravity for low recoil and also provides a very small profile slide with unmatched reliability in the world of modern handgunning. New gun buyers are often hooked the second they lay hands on the pistol. Its superior design ergonomics are due to a curved frame made to fit the human hand.

Unlike many high capacity frames that often feel like a brick or a 2"x4" awkwardly sitting in your hand, the P-01 feels like a natural extension of the palm and fingers. More importantly, the tang extends over the web of the hand, protecting it from hammer or slide bite.

While there are many impressive features on the P-01, perhaps none more so that its butter smooth double action trigger pull. Many traditional double action pistols share the its crisp single action pull, but the double action trigger found on every CZ pistol is truly in a league of its own.

The gun incorporates the Browning short-recoil tilting breech design, with a kidney-shaped slot below the barrel through which the slide latch pin passes. The barrel has multiple lugs atop to engage recesses milled into the slide. The lock-up is very tight, with little if any discernible play between the slide, barrel, and frame.

Reliability is paramount in a fighting pistol, and the design has a remarkable track record for flawless performance. It is also one of the most durable pistol series in existence. The CZ P-01 incorporates a firing pin block, to prevent firing if the weapon is dropped onto its muzzle.

The firing pin cannot move unless the trigger is pulled. The pistol also has a flat-front trigger guard that is laterally serrated for the placement of the forefinger of the support hand. Finally, positive traction is accomplished though a set of checkered rubber grips

For service or repair, the mechanical components are backed by a manufacturers 5- year warranty, where the finish is covered for 1- year. Overall, the CZ P-01 Omega is considered one of the finest pistols ever made and will provide its owner with many years of reliable service.
