I prefer metal over plastic any day. However, I got to spend some time with a CZ SP01, Sig P6, and Sig 2022 over the weekend. The 2022 had a far superior trigger (i.e., extremely smooth and consistent with no grit or creep) with the P6 coming in between the 2022 and SP01.

You may want to look at the STI LS. A bit heavy, but very slim. http://www.stiguns.com/guns/ls/ls.html Their Rogue is also an option. Slim and light. But pricey. http://www.stiguns.com/guns/Rogue/Rogue.html I haven't shot either of them, but they seem to be well regarded (as is STI).

Good call, Earl! I understand the purpose of a beavertail, but at some point they begin look kind of obnoxious. So Hinton, is that a custom beavertail? If not, what brand is it? I want that combination of true commander hammer and short beavertail on a full-size someday.

Perfect! Is it a Combat Commander, or Lightweight Commander? You will have to let us know how it shoots...

Not to go too far off tangent, but with all due respect, Gunbroker is NOT a good sanity check for prices. Telemarketers and spammers do what they do because there always seem to be a stream of people willing to play into their game. Kinda the same with Gunbroker. I have no idea why someone...

Yeah, and its not even polymer! Beautiful to the point of being inspirational. Other than having some Hogue horizontal palm swell grips, you may very well have built my dream gun, feature for feature!

Wow--you even posted pics--thanks! At risk of getting off topic, where did you get them?

Very nice--its on my short list. Slightly off topic, but what is the difference between "Para USA" and "Para Ordnance"? (seem to be the same company)

You are all missing the most obvious solution: duct tape. :)

Turbo put it best--the P01 disappears into your hand. Having shot both of dad's P01 and P229, the P01 definitely felt better. I can't say which one shot better, but the grip on the P229 just felt too wide. In contrast, the P01 had the right curves in the right places...disappearing into my hand.

Christcorp, you and I are thinking exactly alike on preference for rubber grips. I, too, was thinking about toying with some of that liquid tool handle rubber--so let us all know how it works out if you try it. My dream is that someone will make a fully knurled and molded rubber CZ82 grip...

Just like it takes a certain degree of "training" to drive a car safely, obviously firearms require training to operate safely. But it seems to me that disregarding certain safety features (such as a decocker) is kind of like saying you don't need a seat belt because you can avoid accidents...

Pretending to be a war hero and/or survivor makes you scum, but not necessarily a mall ninja. I take them to be anyone without any military or law enforcement connection who feels the need to have tactical/spec ops/special forces gear/accessories/attachments. A few gadgets here and...

I don't mind the gun's looks so much. But the name choice does scream "hackneyed". I don't blame the winner, but rather Wilson. I picture their marketing department as something right out of The Office. I am dumbfounded that this is the best they could come up with. Why not just go...

Haven't shot one...but I think it is the best looking gun in CZ's lineup. Too bad it doesn't come in 9mm!
