One of the things that amazes me about the Phantom is how little muzzle flip there is, even in the absence of weight compared to the all metal SP-01, Tactical, and even the Shadow 2. This is another fine video KSGG. I really enjoyed it!
I agree SPPG! I think having the rails inside the frame really help. It's no Shadow 2, but it will certainly hold its own. Thank you and cheers brother!
Thank you for the video, I just bought myself one and am eager to get to the range!
have the sp01 and phantom. both are great the weight is the only real diff for me. thx for the vid!
The Phantom is superb. (I do like the Tactical's thumb notch, though, and prefer the sights on the Tactical as well). I'm a CZ fan.
thanks for the video, just got one for fathers day, cant wait to test it out.
Great review of the Phantom. This pistol is completely underrated and definitely underappreciated.
I just got a phantom today. And yeah it's a dream to shoot.
Now it's not a new gun thing.
It honestly does shoot nice. And the sights are just fine.
After I put more rounds through it. I'll carry this gun
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
Great video....I literally am ordering this model tomorrow thank you for the info
I may have to pick one of these up and give it a try! Great video as always KS!
Thank you very much Nolan! I highly recommend it brother. Cheers!
What a freaking beauty!
Thank you Sonny! I agree, it's a great looking gun. Fun to shoot too! Cheers brother
I would love to see a comparison video between this and the p09/p07. I have been looking at the phantom forever but I just haven't found one for the right price, great video man.
Thank you very much Honest! That “If I Could Only Have One” is on the way soon. Both really are pretty awesome so it will be a close race. Hopefully you’ll find a Phantom soon! Cheers brother
Honest Outlaw DeGuns $439 after coupon code.$469 shipped
a trick: you can watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Callen Tyler definitely, have been using flixzone} for months myself =)
Sad that CZ discontinued these gems. I found one a few weeks ago, n.i.b for 6oo$ bucks!
found one today for $429 thinking of scooping it up lol
Just picked one up for $550. 3 mags included
Great video as always. This is my favorite handgun in my collection.
Thank you very much Rota! It’s a sweet shooter for sure. Cheers!
Great review on the Phantom so many CZ'S to choose from!! I just picked up a Styer M9 based on your and 1776 review !!!
Thank you very much James! Congrats on the M9. They are sweet shooters for sure. Glad we could help brother. Cheers!
I think its mostly what you get use to . If you carry a different gun every day it could be an issue but if you work nights it would be good to let the sights set in the light during the day.as you would not need glowing sight during the day. I like the idea of the slide riding inside the frame it wood seem to be more stable in the frame. All modern guns are of excellent in manufacture and CZ a lot longer so its all good. Good vid. thanks
Thanks for the good and detailed info as CZ's are just so hot in the market right now but they are great guns...Good stuff...
Thank you very much as always Scott! I agree, they are definitely hogging some of the limelight right now. Cheers brother!
I’m sold. Good video
Right on! Thank you and cheers!
Had too put a grip sleeve on mine to make it suit my hand better. Quickly became one of my favorites of all. Accurate, comfortable to shoot, not too keen on packing it around though. The bottom of that grip will rub your inside of your arm raw with or without a shirt sleeve, so not great for EDC in my book. Not really had time to explore options to improve that though.
I love mine! It spends alot of time with me. Good job KS
Oh and those stock sights had to go!
That's awesome Youngguns! What sights did you go with? Cheers!
KSGunGuy I put HiViz fiber optic on mine. Red front green rear. Really stands out.
Awesome! That sounds like I setup I need to look at. Thank you!
In my gun store travels, there was one at Atchinson Outfitters a couple months ago and I am still kicking myself for not getting it.
They really are sweet shooters Mike. perhaps you'll stumble upon one again soon! Thank you and cheers brother!
This curious mind has wanted to see this. Phantom is intriguing. Don't know that I've ever seen a factory refurbished CZ around here. Good grab. Pretty close to the P09 in size? CZ ergonomics are just so great.
The front serrations added to the new P07 were a smart upgrade. I am still wild about that gun.
I stay torn between adding another polymer frame vs going with a classic steel frame next. I'm guessing it will come down to finding the right deal first. Another great thorough review KS.
Thank you very much InSight! It's very similar in size to the P09. The trigger may be one of the more noticeable differences in the Phantom with that heavily curved version vs the Omega on the P09. The traditional SP-01s with the steel frames are great too but this may be a bit more carryable if that's a consideration. Cheers brother!
Congrats on 5k subs KS!!!!
Thank you very much Abaddon!! Cheers as always brother
Nice Review KS, Its a nice pistol but I do prefer the P-09 & the Omega Trigger. Camera looks nice! Carry On
Thanks Big J! Can’t blame you on the Omega trigger. Cheers!
Hell YES!!! I want that pistol badly!
I highly recommend it King! Thank you and cheers brother
Great pistol
Thanks brother!
Picked up a used one its pretty nice I really prefer the DA/SA de-cocker pistols. I did notice the trigger pull is right to the back of the pull. It breaks and fires great but what stands out is I have to pull the trigger like 98% of the full travel then it breaks. None of my other handguns break anywhere near that far back. Want to swap out the sights tho for some hi viz orange front night sights I see meprolight makes some so trying to track them down. Great gun it's light and shares mags with my 75B so another bonus
Good stuff bro!
Thank you Keith! Cheers brother
Does the phantom use cz mags that are 17+2? Thanks
Great video dude. Iike you I've been looking at and fondling one of those for a while now, and I thought it was gonna be the next pistol I was gonna buy........ But I stumbled across an old West German Sig sauer p228 the other day that was in pretty good condition and I couldn't pass it up. The sp01 phantom is gonna have to wait lol. Thanks for the detailed review as always dude!
The P228 sounds sweet! That would be tough to pass up indeed Shawn. Maybe the Phantom will happen down the road! Thank you and cheers brother!
Yeah as nutnfancy would say it's definitely a second kinda cool thing for me 😁
Agreed!
Great review. I've had the Phantom before. Back when it was first released. Was one of my favorites. I was really upset when it got discontinued and I couldn't replace it a few years back. But I do plan to get another now that it's returned. And this will be replacing the P-09 I sold off. A lot ppl complain about it not being the Omega system and the old school hook trigger. But I've been so used to that for the last 20 years that it doesn't bother me in the least. Although if you and a few other insist upon showing it off so much. You may make me pick one up sooner than I planned. Again great job.
Also the mag release is swappable. It's very similar to how you do it on the Tanfoglio Witness line. As you know I like to switch all my carry guns mag releases to the right hand side. Even though I shoot primarily right handed. Meaning my trigger finger is used to drop the mag during reloads. For the slide release being swappable? No. On the left hand side there is no cut out for the release tab portion of the slide release lever. And even if you flipped it to the right hand side the tab would be facing downward. However you could adapt the RH side of an ambi release to fit unto the end of the existing slide release. Or you could have have a custom one made up with the help of a competent gunsmith or machinist
Thank you very much Matteo! I was wondering about the slide release being swappable and upside down. That makes sense. I am still warming up to the hook trigger though this one feels much better than the P-01. CZ really does make an outstanding gun! Cheers brother
KSGunGuy Best way that I have learned to deal with the hook type tigger over the years is to run the edge of the trigger up against the krook of my fingers joint. That way the middle of the pad of my finger is more toward the other side of the trigger. And then treat the trigger press similar to a DA revolver press. In fact my dry fire practice on them is nothing but that longer heavier DA pull. I put a small o-ring in front of the firing pin to reduce wear or impact fatigue from the hammer. Cheaper and easier than getting snap caps. I personally find it's always easier to train with a heavier pull. Because adapting to the lighter pull is a cinch. Oh and focus the leverage of the press towards the bottom of the trigger hook not the center. Hope that helps.
That makes perfect sense Matteo! Great idea on the o-ring too. I’ll look into that!
Sweet pistol!
Thank you very much Rich! Cheers brother
Nice pistol and review
Thank you very much Trees!
Thanks KS, nice video.. question with your P07 did you do anything to your trigger,, I picked one up the other day and the DA is so bad it is painful, i am ordering the cajun fix on monday..
Thank you Lane! My P07 is bone stock. I surprised it's that heavy! Maybe working it in will help? The Cajun parts will help as well and the springs are cheap. Cheers brother!
Nice review, liked to see a comparison between the Phantom and the P-09 since they're both polymer
Hopefully the P07 will do, lol. Coming soon! Thank you and cheers Keanon
Hello, i like your review. I watched it before buying one myself. My question is my slide and the rail at the end of the barrel i can squeeze them together and it has some play at the tip of the gun. Is that normal? Thanks
Yes, that is totally normal. Thank you and cheers!
I've looked at this one for years, just never took the plunge. The only thing that's sorta kept me from grabbing one of these is the "super-hook" trigger. Not a fan of extra curved triggers, although the new M&P 2.0's surprised me. That was the main reason I sold off my P07 Duty, but the P07 tactical is much nicer. I would like to hold one of these and test out the trigger before laying down some ca$h. Another great video brother, have a nice weekend.
Thank you Fu! I agree, not normally a fan of the trigger but this one doesn't seem to be as noticeable. Maybe it's the size of the rest of the grip? I recommend giving one a try. Cheers brother!
The Cajun gun works 85c trigger is less curved. Or install one of there packages that comes with the 85c trigger
After market sights suggestion? I'm old and can barely see the stock ones on mine.
Also phantom has the mooshiest trigger in ca family, but it is still very accurate for me. Slightly more snappy then other cz's but stays flatter then the sig p226. Feels thinner for smaller hands. But the sights... are pretty cheap and oddly disappointing. But still love the gun and can't let go lol
I like polymer frames. I also love my PCR because of how rounded the slide and everything is. Feels so nice. This seems like a great full size option for me. I have a P-07 but I'm not the biggest fan of how blocky it is so the P-09 wouldn't be for me in terms of a full size. I also prefer the decocker on the PCR/SP-01 tac because you drop it from the rear of the control not the front like the P-07/09 and other Omega versions. I had to use the reach reduction kit on my PCR because the DA trigger was so far forward. I wonder if CGW offers the same kit for the Phantom
That’s awesome Nerf! I’d love to try a PCR at some point. They are really cool looking. That makes sense on the decocker, especially on the P07/P09. Great question on the Cajun reach reduction kit. They probably do. Thank you and cheers!
Great video man . Does it conceal nicely? Thanks for sharing with us as always brother really look forward to all the good info .
Thank you very much Sergio! It's a full size gun so if you can conceal a G17 size gun, you are good to go. Thank you and cheers brother!
Excellent description! I have just bought the latest iteration of the CZ75 SP-01 Phantom, and I'm extremely pleased with it, and the way that it shoots. However, I did wish to ask your counsel on customization of the firearm, like the hammer, trigger, stick-on grips etc?
Thanks again!
Congrats on the purchase! As for mods, I recommend looking at CZ Custom and Cajun Gun Works to see what options are available for the Phantom. Thank you and cheers!
I really want one of theses.
I highly recommend it Mule! Cheers brother
Oh, yes. CZ does make a very comfortable pistol which confuses me as to why they made the P-10c feel like a Glock (he said, as disparagingly as possible). The only thing I can figure is that they really wanted to catch the eye of Glock owners. Anyway, grabbing the slide does feel a little different. There is not as much there and I had to try it several times on the new P-07 to get used to it.
Subjective Alert Warning! I don’t care for night sights but love the glow-y sights CZ and HK use so much.
And well said! I think the recoil is a “perceived” thing; due to all the discussion about bore axis, I was surprised that my new P-07 felt like it transmitted more recoil to me than my P320’s do. Shouldn’t happen with this low bore axis being compared to a very high bore axis like Sig makes. “Perception”, I guess.
I’m also not a huge fan of that originally shaped trigger. You might want to try switching to the Omega trigger. Whiiich you just mentioned, lol! Can’t wait for the P-07 comparison!
Thank you very much Jake! I agree, the P10 is definitely geared towards Glock owners. Great gun though! That’s fascinating about the P320 vs the P07 recoil though it makes sense. I’d love to do the Omega trigger in the Phantom. I think that would really push it to stardom. Cheers brother!
The Omega system IS NOT COMPATIBLE with the standard 75 fire control group. Only way to get rid of that fish hook trigger is to upgrade it to an 85 combat trigger by Cajun Gun Works or Cz Custom. Omega trigger groups are completely different and not compatible with the regular 75 series
Do I smell an "If I could only have one" video between the SP-01 Phantom and the P-07? Wow! Either I have good instincts or know your MO too well, because I saw Honest Outlaw's request below. Great minds think alike!
Haha! It’s a natural setup for that MileHigh. Hopefully I’ll get that out by the end of the year. Thank you and cheers!
With CZs I use my left hand index finger knuckle or webbing and place it next to the rear sight shelf to overhand rack the slide.
Thank you for sharing! Cheers!
KSGunGuy absolutely! I appreciate what you fellas do. I enjoy the format of your personal videos. Keep up the good work but most importantly.. LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC!!
It's an awesome community for sure! Long live the Republic indeed!
KSGunGuy I know your a huge CZ fan as I am. We need to contact Angus or Stewart at CZCs and see if they are capable in convincing CZUB to make a single stack personal defense pistol. I know it would sell for certain, I personally would preorder today!! That's a market they have yet to tap. I also understand they have military and police contracts to fulfill. CZ is always late to the game but when they show up it's normally a solid polished product.
That would be sweet!!
Stock sights on czs are sub par. Overhand racking isn't an issue. Anyone who says so doesn't train with one. Pcr and P01 are my daily carry firearms.
I agree on both counts, the sights could be better and overhand racking is totally doable. Thank you and cheers!
I've carried my PCR every day for the last 7 months and have around 3,200 rounds through it. Such a great gun. PCR/P-01 is the epitome of DA/SA aloy framed compact carry IMO
Thank you for a great review! After this review I got the phantom as my first gun! I love it many ways, but one of the pins right above the trigger started sliding out after 2000 rounds or so. Do you have this issue as well?
Congrats on the Phantom! It’s a great gun indeed. I didn’t have the pin issue. Might want to check with a gunsmith. Thank you and cheers!
Maybe it is just me but I prefer the all metal gun on the full size CZ 75. There are enough polymer framed guns. I like my CZ 75's in all metal.
That makes sense Randy. The all metal SP-01s are incredible shooters with the added weight. I seem to gravitate towards slightly lighter polymer feel, but it’s great to have options! Thank you and cheers brother
The polymer guns have the same amount of flip and ease of going back on target with a quarter of the weight.
Going to put 85 Combat trigger with Pro Package set at 3 and half pound SA pull. Not sure yet about sites I am going to put on
Nice! Sounds like it will be a beast!
Great vid! Makes me wonder since you've tried out both -- if you had to choose: Phantom or Tactical?
Thank you! Definitely the Phantom. Cheers!
The slide stop / release is NOT reversible. It is only usable on the left side (right handed use).
Love my Phantom just sent to Cajun Gun Works
That's awesome Scott! Keep me posted on how it turns out. Cheers!
May I ask what they are doing to it and how much it costs? I have one as well and I've heard of Cajun Gun Works but im not sure what exactly they do to the Phantom.
They're on sale right now for $399....very tempting. But I already have a CZ P-09...not sure if this would be considered a better pistol?
That's a great price! I prefer the Phantom over the P09 all day. Thank you and cheers!
Great reveiw & information as usual , his gun lends to hallmark CZ. functions with its classic design & ergonomics, as for carrying is it to large to consider? Thanx. P.S.
Thank you Pete! For carry, it’s doable but on the large side. Cheers!
I love my Phantom, all of my CZ pistols make me a better shooter!
How much?
Do you still have the 320c?
Yes, I do have the P320 RX compact. Thank you!
CZs web site says that it is discontinued now ???
Hopefully not! I see them all over the place right now. Cheers Taz!
so do I but check out CZ USA you will see it take care
I’ll check it out!
The Phantom is NOT DISCONTINUED. It was for about a year or 2. But it is back in production
This should sell in the Philippines.
Awesome! Thank you and cheers!
I've noticed that you need to be careful putting aftermarket sights on CZ's. I was looking for sights for the 07 and there's more than one height although they all "fit"
Great to know Glock! I do want to switch them out but I’ll pay attention to that when I do. Thank you and cheers!
you live in CZ City don't you? 11lbs WOW. Pretty nice looking
It’s not too far away CCC. Never been but I’d love to see it at some point. Yeah, the DA pull is stout to say the least. It’s very smooth though. Thank you and cheers brother!
What do you think... Phantom vs p09?
I personally prefer the Phantom. Thank you and cheers!
@@KSGunGuy01 thank you!
Anytime!
It is a fulcrum arm, a lever. I don't care who you are, giving the forces working against you a lever INCREASES the forces being used against you because you give those forces a lever.
It is basic physics.
Very interesting King! That makes sense
Glock 75 gen 5? Wth?
Haha! Yes, that's exactly right. Cheers Farm!
@KSGunGuy Hey, I'd like to pass something along to you directly. I'm not on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, so I was wondering if I could send you a message via email.
