Should I go with a second 1911? I already have a Les Baer. Or should I go buy a CZ 75 and get a 9mm. What do y'all say guys?
CZ-75 or second 1911

IMHO, the natural progression would be from JMB's classic 1911 to his wonder nine the Hi Power. The CZ75 is a wonderful platform though, don't get me wrong.

Well I have other 9mm's and it's just so cheap. 45 is so expensive but i do enjoy shooting it. And 9 is a good plinking round.

I agree with docnyt. If you have a Les Baer 1911, get a BHP..............

What docnyt said: get the HP and shoot happy. Maybe a little more money than the CZ but worth every penny.

A 1911 in 9mm is nice...

BHP's are nice, but if it's going to be a plinking gun with possible other uses save your cash and get a good, used CZ75.

CZ-75
There are too many nice guns out there to have multiples of any one model.
I own an 1911, and have shot a CZ-75. The CZ is much easier to shoot well and is more comfortable, both to hold and to fire.
If you like 45s, get a CZ-97, and you may just swear off 1911s.

Look at the CZ75 SA. A CZ with a 1911 trigger - how can you go wrong?

One should always have two 1911s. One to look at often and shoot occasionally and one workhorse to tinker with and really learn the platform.
You need a beater (or just something that isn't a $2000 Less Baer) 1911.

If I were in your position... Les Baer 1911, and several 9mms... I would personally move on to something else. I'd consider those bases pretty well covered. Maybe invest in some reloading equipment, or such. That's just me, however.
BETWEEN the two of them, it would really depend on what other 9mm handguns I had. If I didn't have any 9mm similar to a CZ-75 (DA/SA with manual safety for condition 1 carry), I'd go for it. If I did, I'd probably go with the 1911 since I just love 1911s. A less expensive one, maybe even a cheap beater like the RIA 1911A1 GI that I keep mentioning to shamelessly promote the webshow episode I did on it.

CZ all the way, but if you are a .45 guy look at the 97B.
Same CZ quality, and accuracy is way above a CZ75 for the most
part.
If not, then a 75B or SA will suffice.
best of luck with your eventual CZ purchase and entry into the big world of CZ.
Hope to see you on the CZ boards.

Hey CZF, how much larger than the 75B is the grip of the 97? Don't mean to hijack the thread, just wondering.

Just enough to affect your trigger pull.

Cz75b SA if it's a range gun. That SA trigger hmmmm.
The Kadet conversion is a great add on to the 75b. Change-over in 15 seconds and shoot .22LR for cheap.

If you are like most of us, someday you will have a BHP, CZ75, and several 1911's. It is inevitable. So, get whatever strikes your fancy, and be patient. And save up for the next one. You will enjoy them all. Unlike all the members of the opposite sex that you will be attracted to, you can purchase and keep the handguns that you are attracted to.

If you are used to a Les Baer, then I would get a CZ 75b SA target from the custom shop.

If it will strickly be a range gun I would have them take out the fireing pin block to, which drastically shortens the reset and length of pull.

Or just get a shadow and convert it to single action only. It doesn't have the firing pin block to begin with.
