Post 'em here, folks!
What are your favorite places to shop for gear? How do you find your deals?
For ammo, I have personally had some success with ammoseek, thanks to a recommendation from a comrade on r/SocialistRA. You have to be quick because vultures will swoop in to flip, but I did manage to get 400 rounds of quality 9x19 for 30c/rnd about a week ago.
I was also able to find a good deal on my P-07 through a site called gun.deals , again thanks to a recommendation from a fine SRA individual. Interestingly, the page for it didn't seem to be navigable to from within the host site lol, or at least the listing was very hard to find or categorized incorrectly.

It is my first real pistol, but I absolutely love this thing.
I haven't gotten a chance to take it to the range yet, so I have just been LARPing around, practicing handling it, and doing dry fire drills (comes with one snap cap and I picked up a pack of those aluminum ones). I have learned quite a lot about this style of pistol just by playing around with it and looking at some of its internals, etc.
CZs tend to have a cult following, and I have found on various forums that this is true for this pistol as well. There area a couple of custom shops that are famous just for making CZ parts/upgrades.
My first impression of the gun is that it is very "stiff" and very "tight". The first few times I handled it, I got crazy blisters lol. It is VERY hard to drop the slide on an empty magazine with the follower pressing on the catch (mags with rounds are no problem). It is a SA/DA hammer/decocker style, but comes with a swap-able safety (I like the decocker). The DA Trigger is heavy but smooth. The SA trigger is also smooth, but it is pretty sloppy and creepy IMO. Oh it came from the factory with tritium night sights, and it turns out tritium sights are like the coolest thing ever. I still think aperture irons suck, but it turns out pistol irons are surprisingly not terrible. I still plan on getting it milled for an optic (Holosun 507k) eventually, if society does not collapse before then.
I think the size is perfect for EDC but also that it makes a good "fighting pistol". It takes 15 rnds in double stacked mags without making the grip wide at all. It has a very low bore axis because the slide rides inside of the polymer frame instead of on the outside. There are people out there making some pretty cool upgrades for it (triggers, springs, etc. and it can take the shield mag extensions).
My two main grievances are that you have to get it milled to accept an optic. (Though it looks like CZs future lineup may come pre-cut with adapters available). The other is that the magazines are expensive AF right now!! It looks like CZ USA has phased out the factory P-07/P-09 mags (with the little angle at the bottom of the floorplate), and they advise using P-10C mags instead, which don't match perfectly. If you could set up an import license for these you could probably make a killing being the only purchasable P-07/P-09 factory mags in the NA market.
