Great video! The Phantoms were discontinued to help fill the market with their newer P07's and P09's. The Phantom is stellar duty gun but does not have a huge market. The P07 is great for carry, but I'd take a phantom over p09 all day every day. The CZ75 platform has insane aftermarket support and the P07/9 series doesn't quite have that yet nor a proven track record . I haven't been able to justify replacing my carry P30sk with a P07 but am now however working on replacing it with a S2 Compact. The Phantom was never made for competition which is why the Shadow exists.The Phantom is best served as a combat handgun in a chest rig. My Phantom is Cajunized (self installed) with the slide cut from CGW's and a Delta Point Pro. I'm still not sold on RMR's on pistols (cuz I'm old I guess) so my Cajunized S2 gets the most love. My S2 is hands down the best home (indoor/close range) defense firearm I have (21rd mags, and shoots like a laser beam). The Shadow is way too heavy for carry as a backup firearm for almost all applications. All that said, I'll never let my phantom go and also have future plans for it. I also would not be surprised to see small batch releases of the phantom much like what HK does with their Mark 23.
The Phantom is a duty gun. I also would not use it as a carry gun. I'm currently working on transitioning my Shadow 2 Compact into a carry gun to replace my P30sk.
I think you would like the standard all metal SP01 a lot. Not the tactical version with the de-cocker. You can carry it cocked and locked or double action. One aspect of the pistol I like is when the hammer is down the safety can't be activated. Only half cock or single action it can be engaged.

This was a good review. Surprised you don’t have more subscribers, keep it up
Great video!!
Have Phantom for several years, done trigger upgrade, spring upgrade and love it. This is not a carry gan IMO tho… P07 is my Carry pick.

@@daniels1532 my daily carry is Ruger LCP Max… i love the size, easy to concealed, accurate to hit body shots 25yards.
@@vrso2 I like their 380 for boot carry as a backup or discrete carry

I love the lines of the CZ75 but I'm just not a fan of 9mm. 45acp is better for me because I'm more accurate with it.
Then you'll probably want the CZ 97B. 45ACP in the CZ platform.
MUH 2 WARLD WARZ LOLZ!11
I think CZ's are over priced.
Compared to...?
You clearly have never shot or owned one.
@daniels1532 Yes I have, my dad and my brother both have CZ'S...
@@clachapelle What do you think is better for the price?
