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 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.

These upgrades mean the components of the P-01/P-06 are completely interchangeable with every other P-01/P-06 with no individual fitting needed. This required some very careful re-design so that the reliability and accuracy were not impaired.

With an integral accessory rail on its dust cover the P-01 easily accepts any of the industry-standard lights and lasers to assist with low-light use.
