funny that someone would consider cz low or middle tier considering the sp-01 is the winningest gun in ipsc history. there aren't as many cz's in police departments and such for two main reasons:
1. they were behind the iron curtain so we didn't have ready access to them until fairly recently, especially compared to the other guns that came into popularity in the 80's.
2. they don't offer police departments guns for $5 to advertise for them like other companies that will remain unnamed.
if you think czech made guns, are, or have ever been low quality you probably haven't done much historical firearm research. germans used czech guns over their own (the ones who invaded czechoslavakia) and even upgraded p-38's with czech designs... i can't recall the designation on those...
it is understandable for someone to not be that familiar with cz, as it is fairly recent to the u.s. btw, their rifles are some of the best you can buy for those who haven't shot one... but i don't see how someone could consider 3 of the most legendary gun makers in the world bottom teir. those being, browning, beretta, and walther.
cz quality or craftsmanship isn't dwarfed in any way by sig or hk... and from my experience, i hold sig and cz in higher regards than hk.
