Ceska Zbrojovka Uhersky Brod, Czech Republic announced that the Minister of the Interior, Mr. Stanislav Gross signed a contract authorizing the purchase of 46,000 of the new CZ P-01’s for the Czech national police.
After 3 years of some of the most aggressive small arms testing ever, the New CZ P-01 will be the successor to the CZ 75’s currently in use by the Czech National Police.
The P-01 is based on the CZ 75 design, but with improvements in Metallurgy, quality control, and design. “The components of the P-01 are completely interchangeable, this required some very careful re-design so that the reliability and accuracy are not impaired”
said Mr. Volenec, Chairman and CEO of Ceska Zbrojovka.
The P-01 is named to convey that this is a new pistol and a new level of quality and
Reliability, the P-01 is the first new CZ of the new Millennium. The P-01 features a
a forged aircraft grade aluminum alloy frame for light but reliable day-to-day carry, a Hammer forged barrel for accuracy and durability and a de-cocker action and a firing pin block for maximum safety.
