Am looking at the CZ p-07 w night sights and it has an extended brl about 1/2" longer than the slide and is that much longer than the standard brl, no threads. I'm thinking its simply for the added velocity value or is there anything else? Any negs to an xtnded brl?

Is this a new gun? Sig did this about 7 or 8 years ago with their P229 and other models with 3.9" barrels that were to be sold through a particular big box store. Seems the store had a policy of not selling any handguns with barrels shorter than 4", so Sig, essentially, put a p226 barrel (4.4") in the p229. First time I came across one I thought someone had palyed "kitchen table gunsmith" until I noted that it was a new firearm. I have no idea about the CZ's.

 

Adios,

It is a factory offered model and one version of the P-07. The following is from CZ:

 

Note- Some CZ-USA dealers order special versions that vary from the standard configuration. This might be a difference in sights, safety mechanisms, finish or accessory package. From time to time you may find a P-07 with an extended barrel, tactical light, tritium sights or safety levers only. There are a number of special versions we ship throughout the year.
