can't figure out what my next pistol will be....

#1

Post by BAW254 »

So I'm trying to figure out what will be my next pistol. I don't need anything, and I already have a few CC guns. My LGS has a couple of pistols that I wouldn't mind having. One is a Glock 23 Gen4 in FDE color, the other is a CZ 75 SP-01. Both are about the same price and both a little hard to come by. I have two Glocks already (G19 and G29), but I have never fired a CZ. I read great things about them but I'd like to heard from y'all and see what y'all think.

CZ 75's are a great, classic DA/SA handgun design. Personally, I don't like the trigger feel differences between a double action first shot and single action subsequent shots in any DA/SA design. Try the trigger for yourself since this is a personal preference.

When in doubt, buy a 1911! :evil2:

I already own a 1911. Lol.

The CZ 75 sp 01 I found has a safety only. So I'd only use it in SA mode because I'm not a fan of dropping the hammer on a live round. :) Plus the CZ comes with tru dot night sights.

I love my CZ SP-01 Shadow. While I use mine for competition, I nicely tuned SP-01 could be a formidable, albeit large defensive gun.

I was thinking about getting back into IPSC/ USPSA and I think the SP-01 would make a good Production gun.

That's exactly what mine is setup for. I'm running CGW and CZ Custom parts. DA is 5.5lbs and SA is 2lbs. It's an awesome gun.

For the price of the next 1911 I want, I can buy both of these guns. :lol: I'd like a S&W E series SC 4.25 barrel with the bobbed frame. But the last one i saw was $1100. :fire

I have a CZ 75 SP-01 Phantom. It has the sweetest DA trigger pull of any DA/SA I've ever fired. Way better than the Beretta. It's easy to shoot accurately, though than may partly be a function of how well the gun fits my particular hand. The only problem I've had with mine is finding the kind of holster I want.

Damn. That sounds like sweet trigger pull.

What kind of holster are you looking for? I have a friend that does Kydex holsters and does a really nice job. He's my go to guy for any holster needs.
