Hello everybody.
A few months ago I was involved in a traffic accident that destroyed my carry firearm (a Sig 1911 :banghead, so a I have had to spend some time saving up for a new pistol. I have decided to shift calibers to 9mm parabellum, and I have narrowed my choices down to two different platforms; the Ruger SR9 and the CZ75 (or an equalish variant like the Baby Eagle or EAA Witness). I have shot both in a limited capacity, and I am pleased with accuracy and personal fit for both pistols. I am trying to tip the scales to one side or the other to make a final decision, so I would like to hear what y'all think about the two firearms compared, especially if anyone has personal experience with either or both.
The main purpose for this firearm will be everyday concealed carry, but I will also be carrying it in the field and laying it on my nightstand at night. Any points concerned with accuracy, reliability, concealability, and parts/accessories availability are welcome and appreciated. Any opinions outside of these two firearms is welcome as well, but keep in mind that I have about a $600 budget.
Thanks!
