Editor’s Note: "The CZ P-09 is an overall excellent handgun. It’s a modern option for those who desire a polymer frame, hammer-fired, DA/SA gun. It’s taken the CZ-75 platform and brought it into the modern era of defensive handguns. The P-09 is a great handgun, and it performs where it needs to." - Travis Pike

By The Numbers
Accuracy
It's a combat pistol and is mechanically accurate enough that you won’t outshoot it.
Reliability
The CZ P-09 continues the CZ 75’s tradition of reliability. Even using cheap rounds the CZ P-09 is incredibly reliable.
Customization
The CZ can’t touch the Glock or even the Smith and Wesson in customization. It’s just not popular enough for lots of 3rd party support.
Ergonomics
The slide does not offer as much space to grip as a traditional firearm. For some this makes manipulating the slide difficult, especially when attempting to clear malfunctions. With time and training it can be overcome.

FINAL VERDICT
"The CZ P-09 is a classic take on CZ’s styling, updated for modern requirements. While it’s not the most customizable, if you’re looking for a full-size polymer gun that goes bang every time, you could certainly do a lot worse than the P-09." - Travis Pike
