A CZ 75B will have all the features of a SIG P226 and you can get the SS version for lesser than the SIG.

The Sig carries a higher price, is heavier but allows a second strike if a round won't go bang. I guess it is a question of preference. Mine is SIG and if you want a brand new Gen4 G17 + some shabeng send me a PM. I bought that dam' thing to find out I don't really care for it after 50 rounds.

Check them out over at CMP.

Or you might get lucky and find one yourself from a friend or friend of a friend or at a gun show or just about anywhere. Prices seem to range from as low as around $700 to at least $2k for the various models. This is a decent place to start to get an idea of a rifle's value so that when you do see one somewhere you will have an idea of what it's worth.

Like the 1911 for the beauty and history. I'll have one of those before an HK. My only problem is deciding on new or old for a piece of history to go with my Garand.

What? There's something better than a Glock? Just teasing.

I like Glocks, but do have a couple other things after purchasing my first Glock ~13 years ago. I have only CC'd a Glock and chose to do so because of the simplicity and reliability and on the recommendation of two different police officers. Just because that's what I've chosen to carry doesn't mean I can't appreciate anything else.

I don't see anybody ripping on anybody in this thread for choosing to own and carry the firearms that they do.

Yes, but that's likely to change with their recently announced quest for a new pistol to replace the M9.

M9 was not chosen on lethality or ease of use as it has one the least user friendly manual
arms of any defensive pistol. If we are to continue the friendly debate of the merits of this platform, the military use of it holds no weight in my mind.
