Para Carry or CZ variant?

[dgludwig]

I am considering the purchase of either a Para Carry or one of the following CZ models: 2075RAMI, P01, 75Compact or 75DCompact. I plan on using it as a concealed carry piece. Size(smaller) is more important to me than weight but, of course, both are important factors. Cal. is not a huge issue but I'm of the opinion that, everything being equal (which it never is!), bigger is always better.

I prefer traditional double-action pistols as opposed to "striker" firing types or DAO actions, but, after handling them at various shows and stores, I've become intriqued with the Para LDA system. I would much appreciate some opinions and imputs on this subject.

I would go with the CZ in either the PCR or P01. I have both and love both. I have a hard time deciding which to carry. I had a Para P12 and it was too small for my hands. I have not heard much from actual shooters/owners of Para probucts lately. I don't like to base my purchases on magazine articles.

I carry both my Para Carry and my Tac-Four,and I highly recommend either.However,I do not own and have never fired a CZ,FWIW...

I don't have it anymore but Para's CCW LDA was one of the nicest compact pistols I ever handled. Too bad they don't make it in 9mm?

Krag,Para makes several pistols in 9mm and 40S&W.I don't know if any are the LDA models,though. www.paraord.com

Well I love CZ's but I really love the LDA's trigger also. Id see if you can rent each locally and make a decision from there..........
Shoot well.............

I prefer the CZ over the LDA due to the weight and ergonomics.

P-01 is my current carry piece. I don't plan on switching anytime soon.

I'd probably go for the CZ75 Compact. I like something that I can shoot a bit without a sore hand. I have bot a Tac-Four and a CCW and they are nice guns (workmanship seems to be particularly well executed for the CCW). But in all honesty comparing the CZs to these guns is an apples and oranges type exercise. I saw a number of CZ75 Compacts at a gunshow today for less than half of what a new Para CCW costs. Still CZ are good solid service guns. No extras. Just what you need to get the job done. For concealed carry, I would take the Compact over the CCW unless I was dead set on .45ACP.
