Holy crap, my local shop wants $530 for a CZ-P01 and they didn't have a single CZ in stock I could hold. Anybody from Western Washington here that can tell me where to go shopping? I got a chance to try out the 24/7 fit me like a glove; pointed very naturally, and just all around felt...

Thanks for the additional advice, I will definetly try the closed eyes pointing technique. This will not be a carry weapon, I was asking about holsters just to get a feel for avaliable options. After reading many threads here, it would appear that some are easier to holster than others...

I just found the thread where many CZ owners were discussing the Kadet - yep, looks like it fits the P-01. Looks like I'm going for a CZ-75 in which ever model fits my hand best. I'll report back on what I actually end up getting even if it's a 75. Thanks for all the help guys.

This is very interesting to me. Can you elaborate a little on why you'd want to be suprised by the 9mm? I think the learning on a .22 is good advice. I imagine that sending 2000 .22 rounds down range would be more productive in the end for my proficiency than sending 500 9mm rounds at the...

What's a grip safety? Does that mean that you must be gripping the gun with a certain firmness before you can fire? How does it accomplish this - a lever or something? It sounds interesting. I could live without the manual safety if that's the case.

Oh, and I joined the NRA already. :)

BHP = Browning Hi Power - Ha! I should have known better. There seem to be many 1911 afficianato's here. I would love to own one; that gun has served our country well. I am absolutely positive I will purchase a 1911 as soon as I get comfortable but I don't want it to be my first. I need a...

Is the BHP a Beretta? Sorry, I've never heard of that one. :banghead: My newbieness is an irritation to me as well. ;)

Venerable members of THR: Sorry in advance for the somewhat long post. I need some advice and trust the opinions on this board after searching and reading many threads. Here is basically what I want: an autoloader in 9mm with a decent selection of holsters and pre-ban clips that is: a)...
