I have favored the .45 1911 since carrying one for several years in the military. I recently purchased a CZ 75B when they went cheap for Christmas sales. What a sweet shooting, reliable and accurate handgun - WOW!; the main complaint I read about is the weight but relative to my 1911’s, this thing is a featherweight. Lots of neat handgun for the money (plus the added bonus of less recoil and cheaper ammo). DUH, I coulda had a V8!
