Time for a CZ. I need your expertise.

UPDATE: I ultimately chose the PCR. If it and the P-01 cost the same, it may have been a closer call. Alas, the P-01 would have cost me about $150 more than the PCR, which is currently on sale for $499. Moreover, they’re practically the same pistol. But the PCR doesn’t have a rail, which appeals to me aesthetically. But also, practically I do not need a rail. I’m pleased with my choice! Thanks everyone for all of your excellent suggestions and feedback!

Hello! I'm a new firearm owner. After doing a bunch of research on the internet, I eventually bought the H&K VP9. It's my home defense/CCW, because it's my only gun. People go on and on about the trigger (one of the best in a striker fired!), reliability, ergonomics, etc.

But I'm not satisfied. Turns out I really wanted a hammer fired pistol. I'm looking for the best compact, hammer fired (DA/SA), non-polymer frame pistol I can get. So I'm looking for a CZ.

It appears my best choice is either the P-01, 75 Compact, or 75 D PCR.

• I don't really need a rail. The only accessory that would go on it is a MantisX. I also don’t care about an optic.
• I want a solid, beefy frame. That's why I'm leaning towards the 75 Compact. Does anyone have any insight into how different the aluminum frames on the P-01 and PCR feel? Think they would suffice?

I came here to get feedback from the CZ OGs. What has your experience been, and which do you recommend? Thank you!

Edit: Shit, I forgot something. I would likely carry it strong side, not appendix. But does anyone carry theirs appendix, and what holster do you recommend for how you carry?

Edit 2: A lot of love for the P-01 in here! I will admit, I shot one at the range once, and I absolutely loved it.
