Design of the P-01 was inspired by the FN Model 1905. This is a small semi auto pistol, caliber 9mm. Originally branded as the Duo. All black finish and CZ marked black plastic grips . Deactivated with fully moving parts, that working dry fire action and strippable. 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 in 2001 (NATO-approved in 2003) the production upgrades have been rolled out to the rest of the CZ 75 family. CZ P-01 is a compact, aluminum-framed,caliber 9mm pistol that is designed for Law enforcement and Military usage, but its compact size and the reduced weight due to its forged alloy frame make it ideal also for concealed carry as well. This model is equipped with a decocker. 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.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. It required some very careful re-design so that the reliability and accuracy of this model were not impaired. With an integral m1913 accessory rail on its dust cover, P-01 easily accepts any of the industry-standard lights and lasers what is really useful. After 3 years of some of the most aggressive small arms testing ever, CZ P-01 won the honor of replacing the CZ 75s previously used by the Czech Police. Recently, the producer decided to upgrade the slide stop spring.
