NO 1911's, they were fine in 1911 but much better semi-auto's have been around for almost as long as the 1911 has.
I never say never, you never know!
CZ makes high quality, high value firearms. I love them. Perhaps you have never used one or maybe you got a lemon but they are highly regarded by most firearms enthusiasts.I would only take a CZ, any CZ, if it were free. And then only so I could trade it on something good.
What the heck does that leave?
Whaaaaaaaaaatttttt?!?!? The 645 and 4506 are great guns! I'd take a 2nd or 3rd gen SW over any plastic toy gun made nowadays...and have (645,4566,3913,5906,39).I try to never say never.
However, I know I'd pass on a S&W 645 or 4506 and the ilk, since I already know I'd have better luck throwing them ata target than shooting them
I really can't see buying anything chambering 9x18--but, that's more to do with keeping track of 9x17 and 9x19 being more than enough wor already. Used to feel that way about 7.62x25, but I have mellowed--but it really depends on "what in?"
I used to have an aversion to Star and Astra--but, I've mellowed on those as well. None have caught my eye, but, I'm no longer skipping right over them, either.
Not a problem.No Haterade, though, Capn,

I figured the first comment was just someone trolling for replies, but with two people posting this sentiment, I'm curious what went wrong to make y'all feel this way? My CZs are the most accurate and reliable pistols I've owned.I've had CZ's in the past. Wouldn't go down that road again except under the above circumstances. Most over rated handgun on the internet. They have a small, but vocal following on the net, almost unheard of in the real world for good reasons.
Seeing as Mr. Hackathorn hasn't personally surveyed each and every European citizen, I'd chalk that up as one man's opinion, which could be colored by who he spoke to on the matter. I am far from a "true believer" in Jeff Cooper's teachings, but many hold him in high regard, and he felt that the CZ 75 was "the world's best service nine" (at that time). So that's another man's opinion.CZ, the Scientology of the Firearms world. Ken Hackathorn told me that in Europe, CZ is considered on par with how we think about Ruger pistols. He also said the P10c they sent to Larry Vickers to review was broken.
I have many different name brands of revolvers and semi auto's in my gun collection now,but the one i'm 100'% sure I will not add to it is the High Point semi auto,I just don't like the look about it. That may not be a mature way of buying a weapon,but it mines.
How we think about Ruger pistols? I like them! Especially the now discontinued P- models. The P89, 94, etc. Big, chunky, bukly, heavy... massively overbuilt... Not fantastic for concealed carry, but great for range use, HD, I even took one to a USPSA match once! I don't know about their new plastic frame ones, but I haven't heard that much bad about them.
I've never shot a CZ to my remembrance. I have one on my current wish list though, because I like the design. What is bad about them? How is it that they are compared to Rugers? Not to start a flamefest... but I would like to know.
Better for what? Despite the age, many believe it is the best combat pistol around. Although I spent 27 yrs in the Army, I never engaged in CQB so I can not speak from personal experience. If you belong to the "spray and pray " school then I think you are correct. But from the various companies manufacturing knockoffs, seems like many might disagree with you. I bet your quote will generate some discussion.NO 1911's, they were fine in 1911 but much better semi-auto's have been around for almost as long as the 1911 has.
