Final Thoughts
Running suppressed pistols is fun for sure, though not truly sold yet as a practical matter. I use hearing protection with my suppressed rifles, so it’s less an issue for me, although you could certainly run this gun with these suppressors without hearing protection if necessary.
Using subsonic ammunition, it is very quiet. The only subsonic I had on hand was Remington’s 147-grain HTP and it ran great. As demand increases for suppressed pistols, my guess is that subsonic 9mm ammunition will become more prevalent. There are a few holsters out there designed for suppressed pistols but they are rare, especially for longer ones. For most shooters, they will be for range use or dedicated home-defense pistols where safe storage is possible without a holster. Since they all but remove flash, it is a more than practical task.
Having used CZ pistols for years, their reliability is no surprise and their ergonomics are excellent. The P-01, along with its larger sibling the SP-01, are among the most comfortable. If you are looking for a great pistol, threaded barrel or not, this one should be on your list. See it at your firearms retailer, or contact CZ-USA, Dept.
