Recently, John "Shrek" McPhee − also known as the "Sheriff of Baghdad" due to his military career and combat background − tackled the CZ P-09, Czech Republic's latest polymer-frame, 9mm-caliber hammer-fired semi-automatic pistol.

Conceived for professional and civilian applications alike, the CZ P-09 was thoroughly praised by seasoned shooter John McPhee due to its excellent reliability with all kinds of ammunition, its astounding accuracy, and its superior ergonomics − all factors that are already making the P-09 a top seller between sport shooters both in Europe and in north America.
