CZ -- 75 P-01 vs Compact?
Okay, I have a CZ 75 P-01. It is a great gun, I have the Kadet kit for it, blah blah blah. My son-in-law shot it last week while they were up visiting from Fl., and now he is in love with them. He called me tonight asking me about the CZ Compact. When I went to look at the two guns on the CZ USA sight, I could not find a dime's worth of difference between the two. Is there anyone here who can enlighten me?
Thanks.

I believe the compact is SA, with a manual safety. The P-01 being da/sa with a decocker.
If im wrong someone please correct me.
Cheers,
Jared
Edit: Also I think the compact is also a steel frame (p01 is alloy). I'm in the market for a P-01, they're pretty nice lookin.Last edited by TheSB; January 23rd, 2009 at 11:58 PM.

Re: CZ -- 75 P-01 vs Compact?
According to the CZ site, both have the same mechanisms, DA/SA, and decockers. I asked on another site, and a CZ lover pointed out that the Compact does not have a rail as the P-01 does. But beyond that I have not found any real differences.

Yeah, not too far from Kutztown.
I've been meaning to get to one of these Northeast PA meet and greets sometime soon.
Cheers for a local CZ Owner. I hope to be one soon.

CZ 75 compact
CZ P01
CZ 75 D PCR Compact
CZ 75 full size
Cz 75 SP-01
The top one, is the compact I have, it is Aloy frame, shorter by about an inch, and the dust cover is shorter also. basically less weight, easyer to carry.Skeet is a sport where you are better to hit half of each bird then completely blast one and miss the other completely.
The choice is yours, place your faith in the court system and 12 of your peers, or carried away by 6 friends.

Re: CZ -- 75 P-01 vs Compact?
I just played with both a compact and a P-01 the other day at the gun shop. The differences are small. It basically comes down to weight, decocker vs. safety and that the P-01 has a light rail. I also think that the P-01 takes a magazine that has a small finger extension.
Oh and the P-01 had a slide release that was slightly easier to reach with my thumb on my strong hand. I use my weak hand to release the slide though.
I like what the P-01 has to offer, but I can carry a 75 compact with a safety cocked and locked. I like that better than having a light rail. Pick one of the one that has the stuff that is important to you and you'll be happy.

Re: CZ -- 75 P-01 vs Compact?
there's the PCR, which is alloy frame with a decocker and no light rail, then there's the regular compact and the D compact, which are steel frame and also have no light rail. They have a manual safety and decocker respectively. The P-01 has an alloy frame, decocker, and light rail.
