going to buy one soon, maybe this weekend not sure on that yet...

thinking about getting one of these, looked at a EAA Witness in 10mm but the thing weighed as much as Rosie Odonnell

anyone own or have owned a CZ? ive shot one of their rifles a couple times but know nothing about the pistols, from the reviews they look to be pretty good, and in person they are very well built guns...

oh, and im going with .40 SW not 9mm...

Just went and looked at a CZ 75, didn't like the grip, the P 07 wasn't there for me either, what was recommended, and felt very nice was the Spring XD mod 2... Felt prefect, and I really liked the mag/grip extension that can shorten or increase grip length....

Did look at a Sig, but the one I looked at, not sure of model, literally had no safety at all....

Yer in the minority....even Hickok45 couldn't stop raving about the CZ 75 hand fit.
The CZ 75 fits like a glove unless you have itty bitty hands.

But it's a full size steel frame.
Maybe not the best carry piece.

For plastic frame carry....
Glock
S&W
Ruger
XD

Best advice is to go to a range that rents and try them out.

I have a CZ 75 SP-01
The big dog.
Wicked cool race gun....not great for carry.

It wasn't bad, just not as comfortable as the XD...

Very well built like the other CZ pistols I've seen, and the accuracy seems to be excellent in all reviews...

Free rentals Wednesday's at the marksman, may go shoot a couple guns before I buy one, really want to shoot a CZ first..

3" XD-S in .45 for EDC.

I switched over to a 2" 500 S&W magnum. Bring enough gun.

I bought my wife a LCP380 and I have been really impressed. Function, accuracy, price. I am very happy with it.

Ergonomically, the safety is kind of a joke but I'd consider the 9mm version for me.

Damn. Do you also have an EDC wrist brace? Remind me to not piss you off DF.

I'll add that the reason we chose the LCP was because she was having a difficult time cycling the slide and with the trigger pull with other models. Of the half dozen or more she played with, this one was by far the easiest for her to handle and it fit her hand.

I can understand that. Ladies sometimes have a hard time with heavy slides. A buddy of mine got his gal a 2" .357 wheel gun for that very reason. She loves it and can knock out a flea's eye at 25 yards with it.

Just kidding. Actually my EDC is an XD in .45ACP. The compact 4" barreled version with either 10+1 or 13+1.

I would suggest a compact model of any of the full sized pistols mentioned. Trying to conceal a 1911 or other full sized pistol is definitely difficult. I have no issues concealing my compact XD wearing shorts and a t-shirt.

The CZ's are nice. Good reviews. 10mm is not a beginner's gun. 9mm is great for a start. .40 S&W is a bit snappier. .45 is very controllable 10mm with full power loads isn't readily controllable for a beginner. Dummed down loads, 1,000fps 180gr loads, mimic .40S&W, so why not just get a fortay?

Personally, unless you're hunting with it, I wouldn't suggest a 10mm.

I don't carry often, but when I do, I carry a Kimber Ultra CDP II

If that can't the job done...well, guess I'm just FOOKED!

looked at the CZ P 09 and P07, very well built, not a good choice for me for carry...

looked at the FNS 40, nice gun, kinda getting expensive...

looked at the HK VP40, again nice gun, same deal...

the Sig P2022 i looked at, again, didnt have any safeties, just the decocker, long trigger pull to get the first shot off if hammer is down, but the no safety thing i dont like..

looked again at the XD Mod 2 (4 inch), felt excellent, same with the XDM (same gun different trigger), the XDS tho didnt fit me right, felt a little small...

thinking im gonna go with a XD 40, that HK tho wasnt bad...

theres also the option of getting a used gun, but in this situation, im thinking that may be a bad idea....

yeah ive kinda thought that, but the trigger pull on a revolver is alot more than a semi auto, plus the cylinder has to rotate ect making it even more hard to dishcharge in a holster or whatnot...

maybe im over thinking that part, but ive always been pretty safe with firearms...

there were a couple used Sigs for 380 that looked in great shape, probably gonna go check them out again, id like to shoot one first but the Marksman doesnt have any so ill have to find somewhere else, if there is anywhere else...

This just in

I suggest you don't buy one and you don't carry.

I suggest you mind your own business..

There should be an employment requirement to purchase a firearm.

Why buy.
Build a wall.

Got a used, nearly mint XD40 for a great price... Will put some fiber sights soon...
