Home Defense or EDC?

Looking at this pistol and wondering:

  • Is it a good one to buy?
  • Who has experience with it? What do you use it for?
  • How’s the trigger?

They changed the grip texture, slide serrations, and added an optics cut. Otherwise, it’s the same gun it has been for over 10 years.

Here’s me shooting my well-used P-07, which I’ve carried, competed with, and used for home defense:

What really blew my mind… 2017 was 7 years ago.

Well done man!! Is that the stock trigger?

Nope, I have a CGW pro package installed.

Any modifications? The only thing that bothers me is the long trigger reset. I know there’s a short-reset kit, but haven’t tried it yet.

Full CGW pro package, CZC HTAC sights, and a 507K milled.

Sellers always try to scalp people with FOMO when something new comes out. Just wait a bit, and prices will drop.

This is brand new. Just hit the market. I think very few people have it yet.

For home defense, I’d get a full-size steel-frame pistol like the SP-01. For EDC, a polymer frame is better.

Polymer is lighter and allows for flex, while metal frames are heavier with less felt recoil. If a polymer frame cracks, though, it’s harder to fix.

Why not both?

I just want the optic-ready slide to throw on my existing P-07. :weary:

Send your slide to Wager Machine Works if you want it milled for a red dot.

What’s a P-09C? Is it just a P-07 or a whole new gun?

Basically, it’s a P-07 with upgrades.

I daily carry an older P-07 Urban Grey that I had milled for an EPS Carry optic. It’s an absolute tank of a gun—runs anything I feed it with ease. The double-action trigger pull is a little rough, but after the first shot, the single-action is crisp.

Ian from Forgotten Weapons was shooting it, and it looked snappy as hell. Even the P-09 wasn’t much better in his hands.
