No, I'm not being argumentative.
I'm in the market for a new pistol.
Currently, I'm looking at the Ruger American Pistol in 9mm. It's a big old honker, but I'm not averse to carrying a big pistol. I have no desire to carry a wee .380...
If CZ is superior, I'm open to buying one.
The thing that has me a bit perplexed is having to have various work done to it,as is so often mentioned, before it's considered ready. Is such work simply gilding the lilly or is it something that makes a thing good into something great?
Could the same kind of customizing be said of the Glock? Yes, as I have had a lot different things done to my G19, lower poundage trigger connector, sights, etc., but frankly it was good out of the box without anything further done to it.
Can the same be said of CZ's or does a lot of custom work NEED to be done, before carrying it?
Thanks!
I had a free gun rental at my range, so I rented a CZ 75B (stock) and shot it alongside my Glock 19. I ordered a CZ 75B later that afternoon.
The two guns cost the same (+/- a few dollars). The CZ is slightly larger than the Glock 19, the CZ 75 is heavier (it's steel, they also make polymer models), and the trigger reset is MUCH longer than the Glock. In exchange, you get less recoil, easier follow up shots, a significant improvement in accuracy, and a better feel / grip angle. BTW, the trigger reset is one of the main "upgrades" that people have done through GJW.
I'd suggest going to a range that has a decent selection, renting a couple CZ models and shooting them alongside your Glock 19.
