How many of you would have some interest in a 9mm/.40
sized alloy framed Compact CZ pistol in .45 GAP?
There seems to be the mindset of a lot of Americans and
others, that the .45 is the Only choice for serious personal
defense. This applies to the fans of Hi-Powers who carry
1911, only due to caliber preference.
At present, the superbly accurate but Huge CZ97B attracts
those people wishing a CZ, but only in .45 ACP. The 97B's
trigger reach is quite long and most shooters can't get a
good grasp. The 1911 offers much better trigger reach..as
does the SIG P220. Unlike the SIG, one can carry the CZed
cocked and locked. A feature that appeals to many 1911
fans annd owners. The mandated (by many) caliber and reliablilty is offered by CZ, just in the wrong platform.
The similiar Tanfoglio .45 (and 10mm) is smaller, and some
find it the perfect size. This get people into a CZ75 design
that fits and is in the Proper caliber. However, most would
opt for an even smaller and lighter pistol with a .45 bore.
This is where the GAP comes shinning thru. A slow welcome by
the shooting community, but many a gun company has taken
the task of bridging the gap, so to speak, offering this in
a few pistols. The cartridge has been shown to be the equal,
or even in some cases, superior to the stoic .45 ACP.
Merging the GAP and CZUB pricing, ergonomics, and legendary reliabilty.Looks to be an ideal answer to those CZ fans wanting a carry .45
