My first gun was a Stainless Browning Hi-Power. I loved how accurate and nice looking it was. I just bought a Sig SP2022 for $499 after much research to find something that was a great value & in the 2022 I think I found it. That being said my next gun will most likely be a CZ 75B in Stainless or maybe a compact, or a Bersa Thunder .45 UPC. They both seem to be held in good regard by those who own one and are a great value for the money. The CZ being somwhat of a copy of the Hi-Power should be a really nice piece.

All I have to say welcome "to the gun show".

I have a CZ85B. Excellent pistol. It was a little balky for the first 200 rounds, but now it shoots anything. I went with the CZ85B because I'm a lefty and the 85B has ambi controls.

CZ has been the weapon of choice for many Iron Curtain countries for a long time, and the only thing holding back sales in the U.S. is the fact that they are sometimes hard to find.

You will not be making a mistake with a CZ, probably one of the most underrated pistols in the marketplace. Check out The Original CZ Forum - Index, a great bunch of people, or CZ Custom Shop, home to Angus Hobdell, one of the top shooters in the world.

This thread led to my purchase of a CZ 75BD Police model.



Very happy with my purchase, a solid addition to my Berettas & Sigs.

That one looks nice, when i got mine there were a few things i picked that i liked from the other guns i have.

I wanted an all metal gun no polymer frame
i wanted a hammer
I wanted a metal trigger
i wanted grips i could change to my own or when i wanted.
I wanted a rail for a laser or a light or for a red dot thing.

The SP01 had everything i wanted plus i liked the feel of it. Its heavy but has almost no kick

I want a full size or a compact, not a sub...that is for sure. I am leaning more to a full size. I have no intent to carry this piece.

Tell me if I am thinking wrong about getting the 75 SP-01...it looks real good to me.

I like what the CZ P-07 has to offer.

Smith M&P 9mm. Check it out.
