cz75 weight vs glock

[ballisticsoup]

Recently I returned a defective kel tec pf9 and a small hoard of magazines to my dealer and while I was there I spied a CZ75. I have a 4th gen G17 but DAMN that cz felt nice in the hands,it just felt more real. (and looked a lot better to boot.) Winter is coming and being a large guy I feel comfortable carrying a service sized handgun with a jacket. My question is does any one think the extra 10 or so ounces would really matter? The glock is the first handgun I've carried so I have no reference. Still in the market for a small hand gun but my g 17 might get traded first. Opinions?

P.S. IWB carry maybe shoulder rig

With the right holster and a good belt I don't think there would be any difference. The CZ would be quite a bit thinner than the Glock. I rotate a CZ85 Combat in my carry guns and it is easy to conceal and very comfortable. I use a JPB and it keeps it tight to the body.

I'm not sure about ccw, but you will NEVER regret getting a CZ 75 variant.

It will make a difference, over a long day -- but it may be worth it.

You can also look at one of the ALLOY-Framed guns (PCR, P-01), as they are only slightly smaller, feeling the same in the hand, and are much lighter. (They are decocker-based guns, so you can't do cocked and locked.)

I carry a lot more than 10 ounces I would be happy to get rid of, love handle style! I carry a Glock at work and CZ SP-01 Phantom or CZ P-01 off duty, and I have no issues whatsoever. the holster and belt combo go a LONG ways, such as this High Noon combo of the Rock Steady belt and Down Under IWB. The big Phantom disappears under a light t-shirt in AZ heat with this setup with no problem.



If I had a CZ-75B I would carry it in a heartbeat over the Glock, BUT that's my personal bias showing through.

A good holster and especially belt will largely offset the extra weight of the steel CZ75. It is surely no heavier than a 1911, and its fans claim (rightly) that it is easy to carry with the right equipment.

 

[Quoheleth]

I'll argue the other way.

Ten ounces adds up. I love the CZ85 (ambidexterious variant of the 75) but my EDC was a Ruger SR9c and now a Kahr CW9. Why? Ounces matter when carrying all day.

I can forget that my full size .45 Witness is behind me, but I quickly remember if I sit down too fast!

This, a million times over.

 

[ballisticsoup]

thank you all for your quick reply's I think Tuesday I'll take the plunge my love of plastic guns is fading quick.

Cz makes alloy frame pistols too...

 

[miles1]

I love my glock 17 3rd gen but if the CZ feels better to you then you should make the switch IMO.

Cz makes alloy frame pistols too...

......and KoolAid pistols too.

 

[The Lone Haranguer]

At the risk of seeming to contradict myself, I would still be all over an alloy-framed, full size 75BD.

 

[Pilot]

Another vote for the alloy framed PCR, P-01 or polymer P-07 which CAN be carried cocked, and locked.

On a side note, you'll appreciate the natural pointability of the CZ vs your Glock. It's the main reason why I'm selling my G21SF and getting a 97b.

Just a note on the alloy framed PCR. It's got the same HEAVY rubber grips as my Shadow. A switch to the flat metal grips often used for IPSC would not only lighten the gun by about 2 oz but also make it thinner. The listed weight, I assume with empty mag, is 1.7 lbs or just over 27oz. Take off 2oz for the grip switchover and it's now just around 25'ish oz. And on a 75b guns the grips are the fattest part of the gun by far so slimming it down would make it all the more concealable.
