CZ P09 From Box to Match Test and Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- Second in a series of gun reviews where I take a brand new out of the box gun to a shooting event for a "trial by fire". Other than some lube and some dry firing these guns are shot as built. If you like these kind of reviews and want to see more, please subscribe. Thanks!
I've used my P-09 for IPSC since I got it, and it is simply THE best pistol I've ever fired. I absolutely love it.
It is an amazing pistol for the money.
You still lovin it? I may pick one up really, really soon.
@@PatrickEKelley3gunfun beatwin cz p09 and HK USP 9mm ,What Do you recomand ?
@@co5m1nc153 year late response. The USP is roughly double the price of the p-09. It’s a close battle with both guns stock. You can get the p-09 cajunized and with a new set of irons for the price of the USP. A Cajunized p-09, IMO, beats out the USP. You’re going to have less perceived recoil, better trigger, better irons, pretty similar ergos, and a p-09 that is very reliable.
Man this guy can shoot
Thank you very much!
I purchased the CZ P-09 about a year ago and I have to confess that I have not one complaint what so ever. It fits perfectly in my hand. Very Reliable and very accurate. The CZ P-09 comes highly recommended!!!
Hard not to like the P09!
This is a "where the rubber meets the road" type of real-world testing that should be more common, even if in this case it's "where the CZ meets the Steel Challenge." This really looked like a true test of an experienced and well-qualified shooter who adapted exceptionally well to the SA/DA action. What I enjoyed probably the most were the moments like "It's not 'front sight, jerk" that made this video a treat and made me realize this truly was a challenge for Mr. Kelly. Thanks for sharing and hoping to see more just like this!!
Thank you Matt, I really appreciate your thoughts.
I was just about to click the "buy" button at Bud's Guns when I decided to look for a YT review of the CZ P-09. Your review was most welcome and has helped me make up my mind. Thank you for the video and all the intelligent comments of your viewers. Keep up the good work! I subbed and liked.
+Alan Stewart You are most welcome and thank you for the Sub!
Just ordered a p07 from buds guns before I began viewing this video lol
4-2024 I just bought the P-09 Suppressor Ready and I love it. Bullseye accurate from the first shot Stock out of the box. Best pistol I've owned in 59 years of shooting. And a bargain at 499.oo, 2 - 21rd. Magazines. I think the only change I'll make is a green fiber optic front sight. What a bullseye bargain👍👍
Great Video... I really enjoyed it. I own one and it may be the most underappreciated polymer gun on the market today. Got mine on sale for $450 OTD with a tac light. It is very mild recoil, and holds 20 rounds of 9mm. Plus it's $200 cheaper than an XDM, and $125 cheaper than a Glock. What I really like..1) Accurate...2) Good double action trigger pull..3) easy to load 19 rounds in mag...4) semi night sights (they light up going from light to dark but they are not true night sights..5) Feels good in your hand and comes with different size back straps..6) Affordable...7) Cocked and locked option... 8) Reliable..at 800 rounds of various 9mm rounds and not one problem...9) Quality...fit and finish are top notch..10) Mild recoil....
The OD Green model has Tritium night sights, but I'm having a difficult time finding one for sale.
Very honest, leveling guy. Appreciate it.
I greatly appreciate hearing that!
Awesome review. Quick and jam-packed with knowledge. I am saving right now to pick up the P-07, and anything CZ related I love to see. Keep making these unbox and shoot in competition videos. I am tired of people doing unboxings and not showing any shooting footage, just doesn't make sense! Really resourceful and influential when I am going to make my future purchase.
Thank you so much Ben! I love shooting and the cool tools that we use. The people who play the games are pretty neat too! I take your last sentence very seriously and plan to continue of offer work worthy of that consideration.
great review.... very well spoken and to the point. One of the best/most informative gun videos I've ever watched.
WOW! Considering the "competion" I am humbled and flattered. Thank you kindly sir.
Love steel match. Love CZ. I switched out the decocker for a safety, which I don’t use. Great shooting.
Thank you CZ FG!
Patrick, As always, love your "trial by fire" reviews. Wish I could shoot these right out of the box guns in the superior manner you do! I bow to the Master! Now I want this gun!
+Mike Colburn It is a heck of a good gun to want!
Just bought the P09, as a comparison to your 6’+ frame Im 5’8” and with small back it fits me perfect. Feels much better in hand than others Ive handled. Enjoyed your review and subbed!
Cool info and thank you for the Sub!!!
This morning I found one of these in a local gun shop. Now I have to wait for it to be released from gun purgatory. Looking forward to shooting it. Haven't owned an SA/DA for many years, but it's been on my wish list and soon it shall be mine! Thanks again for the instructional and interesting review.
Good move mister!
So how do you like yours now that you’ve lived with it a while?
@@kimmorrison9169 Smoooooooth trigger, not a single failure to feed after 100 rounds of both range ammo (115 grain FMJ) and defense loads (147 grain JHP), Would love to shoot it more, but 9 mm availability locally is still hit and miss.
my po9 fde did the same thing. rear sight drift 200 rounds. sent it to cz had it back in a week. great shooter go rid of my g17 kept the cz. nice vid!
Good to hear CZ took care of you.
Late to the party here I was a glock shooter forever (still have a g21 with wilson barrel) my buddy had me shoot his p07, and it was so easy to shoot well, I got to looking more and the p09 really spoke to me. It is ridiculous how well it shoots so I bought another and they are my edc go everywhere with me guns. They also iwb carry very well with a forward cant, very comfortable love this gun, and this summer I think a p07 may come home with me
Great video. I have the same gun, albeit the smaller P-07 version. Great pistol... funny thing is that, at the range all the guys shooting their glocks and berettas always ask me about the CZ.
Cheers from Costa Rica !
exionem lol, same here usually Glocks and M&Ps... Love my P07
I just want to say thanks a lot. I have been wanting to get into competition and I have been looking for a pistol that would fit my needs and this video sold me.. So again thank you immensely.
Doug Harder You are most welcome kind sir. You will be well served with the P09. It works just right out of the box and it can be improved as you improve with many aftermarket parts. Thank you.
Thank you Sir, I just ordered the Grey P-09 with the TB & SS it also come with 21 Rd mags in this edition! Can't wait to get it Thanks & Carry On!
You are very welcome!
Cool video, glad to read you at least lubed it. I've read magazine articles where they brag about not cleaning the gun before testing. I never understood what exactly that proves? My M&P came with light oil, my CZ came with a more heavy protective grease.
I don't know what that proves either. Any gun (new or used) gets a good "once over" before I shoot it, video or not.
Absolutely amazing shooting! Looking to get my first CZ and was leaning towards the PO-1 but you're making me consider the PO-9 now!
David Fouts Hard to buy a bad CZ, but at under $500 the P09 is a fantastic pistol!
The p09 is on my short list of next full size purchase chiefly due to capacity. The price is simply an added bonus considering how this pistol appears to handle.
Ty for your review.
It is a lot of pistol for the money.
I prefer my p09 to my shadow. On paper the shadow is better but I just love how flat shooting the p09 is
Just purchased the P-09 about 2 days ago....waiting for it to be delivered to my local shop for pickup. I can not wait to get this thing to the range!!!!! Great review, Sir!! Thank you :)
+Timothy Baxley You are most welcome!
Anybody notice how cleanly the p09 ejects empty’s? By far superior to Glock!
yes ive said the same thing. and it shoots so flat.
He twice called it “a nice pistol” and it is a very nice pistol. I bought a PO9 on a whim when they first came out and throughly enjoyed it. I put a few thousand rounds thru it and decided I wanted a steel frame CZ so I traded it for an SPO1. Can’t say the SPO1 is a “better” gun just different. Thinking now I should have bought the smaller PO7 for a carry pistol.
I've got this gun and love it. Have a Cajun gun works trigger in it and it shoots like a dream. It's one of my home defense guns. Absolutely trust it.
Cajun knows how to make them nice!
Nice recoil control-wow
May I offer a humble thank you sir.
Handled one and it felt great in the hand, so I have one coming for Production class.
Great video Mr. Kelley. Keep em coming.
Thank you John! It is my intent to produce as many as my wallet will allow!
Saving up for this beauty and beast. This video makes the wait even harder. Haha.
Excellent video! I'm a CZ fan anyway so it's nice to see such a good real-world review. Now, if I could only shoot as well as you do!
+Home Winkel It just takes time. you will get there.
Patrick... Very nice video. It's people rather Professionals like you who give novices like me more confidence in our gun which fortunately in my case is a CZ P-09 and bought around Nov. 2014.... Good gun boss as you said... A good gun. Regards, Ahmed Zafar - Pakistan
Thank you very much sir. The P-09 is still in my collection as I like it that much!
Of all the "review" channels on CZcams I like yours the most.
That is saying a lot!!! Thank you very much.
Great job and great information Patrick. Very impressed!
+Larry Gish Thank you kindly.
I really look forward to your videos. Both the VP9 and PO9 vids are great.
Hk is very scarce here in ol' South Africa, but the CZ's are plenty full here.
Keep it up.
Thank you my fellow South African "Gun Guy"! If all goes well I will be testing the Walther PPQ M2 in a couple weeks.
Not a big fan of the double action trigger on it so I added the manual safety. Never liked manual safeties but by adding the safety it makes the trigger so much better. I'm just like you. I rock glock most of the time but cz is my other go to gun. Keep up the videos man. You have my subscription brother. I would like to see you run a beretta 92 modified by Wilson Combat in one of your future videos. That's going to be my next big purchase. =D
Jason Loewe So far I have paid for all the guns I have tested and while I would love to test the Wilson gun, I'll have to wait until my funds allow.
Im so glad ypu didn't cry about the slide being short. I have the fde version and i enjoy it, the trigger is a little tough in double action @ 10lbs.
No need for a complaint. The P09 sight radius is the same as a 5" 1911! I am a competition shooter, but know that our
market share is small. Sure I want a 5" VP9 or Long Slide this or that, but the bottom line is, if you can see the sights and manage the trigger you can shoot the heck out of it!
Patrick E. Kelley enough said Pat great vids! especially the "out of the box to the range" keep em coming! I think you missed understood me about the "Short" maybe the slide height would clear it up. People would say that it was difficult to rack because of it. I seen you had no problems.
***** Got it.! Thanks for the clarification.
Subscribed! Mr. Kelly, thank you for the informative and well shown video of this firearm. Perfect idea / context for showing these pistols. Thanks again!
Thank you Mr. Rand! I will be shooting video of the Walther PPQ M2 or the Sig 320
or maybe the Grand Power K100! I won't know till I start!
Great video Patrick ! I have a P 09 with all the CGW "goodies" and will leave my Glock 34 in the safe this season.
I am getting closer to that myself! Glad you liked the video. More to come...any suggestions?
Patrick E. Kelley Walther PPQ 5" - best polymer trigger out there hands down.
Also on a gun like the P 09 you might do a follow up on mods you make. Happy Thanksgiving !
Jeff Oakes I have a 5" PPQ on hand and if all goes well I'll shoot the Out of the Box video before the end of the year.
Patrick E. Kelley Have shot one in IDPA - EXTREMELY accurate and reliable.
I don't know I guess the trigger is slightly better but they're both pretty much mush on the sa break, I have a p07 p09 and a sp01 clone all worked on, all have the same kind of rolling break, not bad just no wall like a 1911, nothing does
Gotta get a DWX 😎
great great review! this is how they should be! I am wondering about the trigger! but I love the concept of the review. no biased, over the top and over priced opinions... just a great gun at work with a great shot! Cheers from austria
Thank you kindly!
These are more accurate than most people are, it's better than 2" 25yd I guarantee you that
Pat, my daughter is a lefty, so I'm going to subscribe just because you are left hand dominant. Seriously, this is my first visit to your channel, and I am impressed with your gentlemanly "Irish" approach. I look forward to looking at all of your offerings. Merry Christmas, and have a Happy New Year, 2016!
Thank you for noticing my Irish nature! It really is all about having fun. Yes, as a competitor I like to win but I'd rather perform well no matter my placement. If you keep watching you'll see that I shoot handguns left and long guns right. Great to hear your daughter is involved in the shooting sports. My best to you. Patrick
Patrick E. Kelley
Thanks Pat!
Great video, I love my PO9
I have slightly larger than average hands (XL gloves), and I have to say that when I got this... I didn't care for the grip. They say that it's the same as the CZ-75 (which I've shot), but it's not. It is larger fore/aft from the beaver tail to the trigger guard under-cut. It's a great gun, but not as comfortable as a lot of people say it is. This is actually my wife's gun and she really doesn't like this compared to the 75. I have a PSA Rock 5.7 and those are some long rounds compared to 9mm. With this said... that grip is more comfortable and smaller fore/aft than this is. Very odd. Also... this has 3 back-straps to choose from. I have the small installed and to be honest... I've not seen one reviewer say they had anything larger than the small installed. This in itself should have been an indicator to CZ that the grip module is too long fore/aft. A revision is required IMHO.
Excellent video. First video of yours I have watched. Really like the format. Great shooting too by the way. Hope you keep making more vids!
+saskcop I am and will continue to so long as "you all" want me too. (please like, share and subscribe)
Just love it. I just got mine. I am a CZ fan big time. Love your shooting. I am inspired. Now back to dry fire practice.
Patrick, thanks so much for doing a review on the CZ P09. I happen to own that gun too and Love the way it shoots and handles. I am considering picking up the Sig Sauer X5 Legion. I am looking at getting involved in some local pistol shooting competitions. Thanks again for a Great 👍 review.
You are so welcome Scott!
Just found your channel. Awesome! I live in Kennewick so it's cool to see someone local. I just ordered the "urban grey" P-09 with suppressor height sights. Should be here any day! Subscribed and liked.
Thank you "local guy"!
Excellent review and dang good shooting!
Thanks Dave! I have a lot of shooting experience so that helps!
Nice shooting! Thanks for review! 👍👍👍
Heck ya!
I'm just shocked to find a local. Using the search bar for Yakima and shooting found very little but just randomly in my feed you pop up with one of my favorite guns. Good deal, eh?
You shoot steel?
@@PatrickEKelley3gunfun Never have but I've wanted to. I live in Yakima. Back when I had time I didn't have the money. In the process of moving now but I'd definitely come back on that short drive to shoot steel out here. But last two years was working full time and a full time student so just never got the days off I needed to.
nice video and review. I'm planning to pick one up in a few months since I like my airsoft version of this. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you!
Wow man you can shoot the lights out for sure! Subscribed. You have inspired me.
WOW! Thank you very much for saying so! And a double thank you for the Sub!!!
Excellent video, just picked one up myself and so far very impressed.
Hard not to be.... a very nice pistol for not a lot of money!
Wow!!! That was cool right out of the box.
Thank you Ronald! We are luck to have so many affordable guns that just work right out of the box. Back when I first started to compete in IPSC it was an accomplishment just have a pistol run for a whole match!
Nice review. I have both the P-09 and P-07 waiting for me at the FFL( CA 1 in 30). Can't wait to shoot them. I will officially have more CZs than Glocks.
I am afraid the CZ's might multiply at my house too!
Nice review. The out of the box onto the range reviews are great! Real nice looking firearm.
00iceman9 Thank you very much.
@5:44 that was pretty dang slick, awesome!!!
+sil3ntsp3ct3r Thanks!!!
I really enjoy watching your videos such a great concept for a youtube gun channel. Look forward to more videos in the future, keep it up.
Thank you! It is what I do when I ain't working my regular job.
My second time seeing this video. Patrick you are a Great American.
I have one I use as my service weapon its excellent I put over 1000 rounds down range no problems at all my favorite handgun
It is just getting broken in. Many happy years ahead of you.
+Patrick E. Kelley well I know its going reliable I also have a cz 75 sp 01 that I bought used I put about 4000 rounds on before changing the parts to shoot +P
Thanks for this awesome review😁 picked up my P09 suppressor ready 9 months ago, and what should I say? Slow and precise shots are no problem, but I am awfully slow when it comes to quick draw and split times😂 guess I have to intensifie my training.
Nice video. Always appreciate a good, honest review. Keep these going...
Thank you sir, I will.
Nice video! I have one and love it. Have a CZ SP01 as well and they are imo the best 9mm. Next up is a Shadow II but I doubt I’ll shoot it any better.
But it is fun testing driving!
Great video, especially your attitude. If you can't enjoy yourself and also laugh at yourself why do it? Thanks and I'm now getting a P09.
We think the same way. This shooting thing is fun!
Great review.... please keep em coming.
Good video Patrick
Nice review Patrick. You've earned yourself a new subscriber.
That is excellent news, I'll do my best to keep you!
Excellent review and demonstration of shooting. Thanks
+luiscards You are most welcome!
Nice vid… I have a PO9 and love it….thanks for sharing
Nice video very informative. Have you thought of doing a review on Taurus TH9 or PT 809? Thanks again.
I buy the guns to review out of my pocket, so with so many to choose from I have to be careful otherwise I'd be broke! The Taurus guns are down the list a bit.
Nice Brother! You Are Truly Just A Joy To Watch & Listen Too!.. Thanks For an Oldie, But Goodie For Sure!..
I'm So Glad This Series Has Continued! So May You As Well My Brother! God Bless You, Your Family & Home With Health,Happiness & Success!. Have A Great weekend Mr.Kelley!.
Great review style! Looking forward to more.
Got more than 2 dozen reviews up right now, hope you can enjoy those. More coming soon.
Awesome video, thank you neighbor.
YOUR IN WASHINGTON!?!!?!?!?! Let me come shoot with you!!!! I love your videos. Bought my tp9sfx because of you!!
Please do!
We want to see more of this pistol! Have you installed a CGW trigger yet?
Not yet.
Great review, and also very nice shooting :-) .
Thank you Jari! I hope to "shoot" another video at a match this Saturday!
Patrick E. Kelley Geez.. Can't decide between the P09,P07 or the SP-01. All of them are sweet pistols, so choosing is pretty hard.
+Jari Hartman I own the p09. I REALLY wanted the Sp01 because the 75 variants feel so perfect in the hand. I couldn't justify the weight. I still think the 75/sp01 "feels" better but the p09 is easily the most accurate I've shot. I also have a Sig p220 .45 which is an awesome firearm and reminds me of a 75. I do carry the p09 in a Fobus paddle. it's comfortable but can be a little long/bulky. nothing terribly though. all in all I LOVE the p09
I have both po7 and po9 in .40 love them both
You have the long and short of the line covered!
Nice vid I hope to make a trip out and compete against you one day I'm out of JBLM. I have the same pistol but had some feeding issues but all is cleared up now.
Good to hear all is well.
Hey Patrick! So I broke my P09 last week. walked into the range all excited to practice, and it wouldn't strike any ammo whatsoever. I broke it down, and the firing pin sheared through the rolled retainer pin. The firing pin sat flush inside the slide so the hammer wouldn't strike. I guess I dry-practice HARD! anyway just wanted to report my experience with cz. apparently the firing pin retainer is weak across all models. I ordered an upgraded retainer at Cajun gun works. should come in today.
Dry fire is HARD on that pin. If the 2nd pin holds up...the firing pin may take all the "abuse" instead. Now that you know, keep an eye on it and keep dry firing and keep getting better!
Dang I guess I might have to order a better firing pin too to keep on hand. the firing pin is $25, and the Retainer is $5. not so bad. I still love the P09. Thanks for the advice and helping out your fans! You da best!
Stick an ear plugs where the hammer strikes. It stays during da and softens the blow.
Great review, Collegue!
+guerrierodelgiaguaro Thank you sir.
Great video and review! Outstanding shooting with a stock gun! It takes a little bit to get used to the transition from DA to SA. I compete with an SP01, the trigger was horrible out of the box. I never even shot it till I did a trigger job. How was the trigger on the P09?
Thank you very much SmithShooter9mm! One of the underlying reasons behind shooting these videos is that so many new guys feel they must have a gunsmith work them over before they can be used in a match. While I absolutely agree a well tuned pistol is easier to shoot than one that is not, it is a good idea to start with one that is pretty good "out of the box".
Patrick E. Kelley Makes sense sir. Strong fundamentals makes a good shooter. The gun doesn't make the shooter, it just makes his or her job a little bit easier. Thanks for the videos and all the time you put into making them.
CZ rocks.
They DO!
I want one, but I'm having a hard time finding the OD Green model that comes with the Tritium night sights.
Fun to watch. Nice vid!
+Daniel Ramos Thank you.
+Patrick E. Kelley You're a great shot and good sport. You burned down those targets down on a gun you're not even used to. Plus if you missed you didn't blame the gun like so many do. I'm a CZ guy. Thanks for the great demo.
+angelocos1 You are very welcome and thank you!
Nice review. Thanks!
*watching vids patiently waiting for P09 to arrive at local shop*
Almost nothing takes L O N G E R...
Exactly what I'm doing and it's taking forevvveeeeerrrrr
Nice review, thank you👍
great vid...ordered my PO9 yesterday,not my first CZ but my first polymer version...should be SWEET !
I think you will be well pleased in the purchase. Thank you for watching!
Great review. As a southpaw myself its great to see how easy you were able to use the P09. What holster are you using?
Have subscribed and looking forward to future reviews.
Jas
+Shooting MOA Thank you for the Sub! More videos on the way.
Enjoyed your review. Nice job!
+Sean McLean Thank you kindly.
Just watching this video some 3 years later.....wondering if this P09 is the Duty or compact? I have been looking at a P09 at LGS and I believe it is a compact. Great videos as always. Keep them coming. Awesome enjoyment. Thank you.
PO9 fullsize PO7 compact.
That's right. I was just at the LGS last week. I forgot about that P09. It was the P07 I was looking at. Thank you.
Very well done. Simple and to the point. You will enjoy the PPQ if you decide to take that route. Subscribed.
PPQ M2 soon after I run the Sig 320 this Saturday! Thank you for watching!
The PPQ is posted. Have you watched it?
I will now. Thank you!
Own a p07 and a p01, both fine pistols
You are correct!
Great shooting!
Thank you kindly.
That things got nothing for recoil.
Great video trying to decide between this and a Glock
DA/SA ot Striker? That is the big thing in my mind. Both are good guns!
You're an amazing shot!
Great pistol! :) Thanks for video!
You bet!
also awesome shooter! :)
I have my days for sure! Thank you.
