Would there be a noticeable difference in accuracy between a Glock 23 converted to 9mm by way of a LWD barrel and a CZ P-01? It would be great to hear from folks who have shot both.
 
In my hands, the CZ easily out shoots the Glock. It could be the grip angle, it could be the bore axis, it could be the slide inside the frame fit or it could be all me. I don't know exactly why but it is very noticable and it's not even close.
 
Why not replace the slide, barrel, and a few internal parts on the Glock rather than doing something like you propose? They are pretty much the same pistol.
 
mechanical accuracy? not really. bur you might shoot one better than the other though.

I agree. I shoot my CZ way better than any Glock I've ever shot but that's just because I'm more comfortable with them(fit better, better trigger pull). Some people like Glocks more so they'll shoot those better.
 
I already have a G23, it is equipped with a LWD barrel (40 Cal) for shooting reloads. I have to select a pistol to suppress and its gonna be a 9mm. So, I had thought about putting a 9mm barrel in the Glock, but instead decided to sell the Glock and get a whole different 9mm. Started to wonder if I was making a mistake, but was looking forward to being more accurate with the CZ because I always seemed to be with a Jericho. So I was hoping to hear that people who had shot both prefer the one I chose to buy and not the one I chose to sell :)
 
Couple of points with the Glock (have owned several, and shot some really sweet custom Glocks a buddy owns):

Due to the light weight of the Glock and the way the striker releases, the muzzle tends to move at the precise moment of striker release. This is my experience and I have observed this while dry-firing at a target.

I don't think the CZ is more mechanically accurate, as others have pointed out, since I have shot 1.25"-1.50", 25 yard groups with a tricked out "G".

It is my opinion one of the reasons so many shoot the CZ's so well is more weight, ergonomics, and the triggers are easily and cheaply tuneable nowdays. A "G" (and I love em') will never approach a 1911 like trigger pull; a CZ can.
 
I have made no secret that I don't like Glock, as they don't fit me. However, for ten years I qualified Expert or Distinguished Expert with the Glock 19 or 17, depending on what the Armory had more of that day. :) My P-01 is comparable in mechanical accuracy to a Glock 19, but I shoot my P-01 better than all those G-rocks because it fits me better, feels like an extension of my arm. I think if both were mechanically rested, they would come up close to each other. My money's on the P-01 being better, but some might think I am a little biased. ;)
 
I think the latest news is that Sevigny is going to be shooting an FN better than a CZ...

You will shoot best with whichever one on which you put in the most work.
 
I can only talk about my little old CZ82, but I was able pick that up and be very accurate right away. With the various Glocks I've shot occasionally, I couldn't hit sh1t.
 
I find I'm more accurate with my CZ 75b than I was with the Glock 17c I sold to get it. I could probably get to the same accuracy when focusing on slowing down my trigger pull, but to me I want to practice shooting at a speed that's more inline with what I'll do in a real life SHTF moment, and in that case I'm better with the CZ.

I don't understand how that can be anything but shooter technique -- particularly if the muzzle is moving with the striker during dry fire, as the only motion induced by the striker is forward. How might striker movement might cause muzzle movement?

Ransom rested, probably very little difference.

The CZ would probably do better in a Ransom rest test -- as polymer-framed guns generally don't perform well in those tests. The flexible polymer frame doesn't necessarily return to the same position with each shot.

In the case of "aimed" fire, the accuracy is likely to be quite similar. I've had both, and have both and find them equally accurate.

I do think the CZ line is far more "ergonomically" friendly, and points more naturally. That said, I'm not in a rush to get rid of my Glock 35.

This is due to poor trigger technique, not striker design.
