I look at it this way. Everyday there are men who go into harms way carrying a handgun for protection. Soldiers, law enforcement, and professional security personel overwhelmingly pass over the CZ pistols for other brands. Their experiences mirror mine. While the CZ is a good gun, it is not the best choice as a fighting gun.
Well first of all the gun was chambered in 9mm luger vs 9mm makarov all eastern block countries were forced to use.
It was a cold war foe, so no nato countries used it till the wall fell.
In its orginal form with a safety its not a very police recruit friendly gun. No departments or militaries allow cocked and locked carry except by special units.
Its my understanding the orginal 1911 was carried in a flap holster with the hammer down on an empty chamber, same with the BHP.
So even though it was a double action gun, one had to manually lower the hammer, which is done very easily, however one of the reasons police cheifs stuck with revolvers so long is because they were so easy to train new recruits on. Only after policemen unions in larger departments basically forced alot of cheifs to adopte semi's due to the escalating violence of the drug wars in the 1980's did this change.
Part of the reason Glocks are so popular is that they are a easy weapon to learn, rack slide, pull trigger, not far from a revolver.
So yes if you are typical police officer or military officer who only pulls his gun out once a year for qualification, by all means buy a glock.
If you are a expieranced shooter, the CZ is not that hard to master.
The cz patter is probably the most copied gun in the world, except maybee the 1911. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
