I second this sentiment.From your list I'd say the CZ Then the Beretta, I would also suggest a Browning Hi Power if you like 1911s
S & W M & P American made by one of the oldest American companies
The BERETTA 92 and CZ75 are both large, accurate and very reliable 9m.m. pistols. The BERETTA gets my nod for better trigger and the lack of a hammer dropping safety on most CZ75's makes them a second choice to the BERETTA. It is simply safer to use a hammer dropping safety in my opinion.
I have CZ's, and Berettas, and think the CZ's are equal or better to the Berettas in every way.
Please give correct information. Dropping the hammer on a live round is safely done if you now what you are doing, and it is very easy to learn. My point was you can get CZ with both manual safeties, and decockers. CZ's now have more models with decockers than not. All the Omega trigger models can be switched to decocker by the end user in a few minutes without tools.Pirate and Pilot,
The OP did not ask for a list of guns that need modifications, he asked for advice.
If you like the safety on the CZ75, good. Most CZ models DO NOT DROP THE HAMMER SAFELY, you do it manually and take a risk.
Given a choice of a gun that drops the hammer safely or one that does not, I will go with the safer gun, other wise, why buy a double action over a single action?

Me too. That is why I do not use the safety on the Beretta. It is a DA/SA pistol, no need to engage the safety when holstered.The thumb safety on the Berettas seemed very awkward to me when I was shooting one—the position on the CZ is way more natural to turn off on the draw.
