I really like the Ruger auto's. you should deff. get both guns out on a range somewhere and try them both out before deciding what you want. I will say on the negative side for the Ruger that the trigger pull pretty much scared the hell out of me when I shot it for the first time...but after a few mags i got more comfortable and liked it. I purchased a p94 in .40 s&w last week and put about 850 rounds through it in 3 days without a single problem (the only jam-up was while my buddy was shooting and I'm pretty sure he was limp wristing the piece). My dad bought a CZ last year for christmas and I must say it is a beautiful gun for the price he nabbed her for. she isnt quite as rugged as the ruger, but she is prettier and i could pbly group better with it then the ruger...but for just outstanding reliability, customer service, and ease of use i would go w/ the ruger. but hey, i'm kinda biased so you should get both of the guns out on the range and find out for yourself.
