Which Pistol? 3 Proven 9mm's

[wojownik]

Of the three, I went for the CZ-75 - have had it for years, feels right in my hand, super accurate, super reliable.

Regarding the other Glock and Beretta, I've fired Glocks numerous times, and they just have never taken hold of me. And, like Wanderling, I found the 92 to be too large in my hands.

My 9mm lifetime choices are the CZ-75/CZ-75 PCR compact and Sig 225/226/228/229

Get all three. One this year, one next year, and one the next year. Or if money permits, get all three this year. Then shoot 'em, shoot 'em, and shoot 'em some more.

If you tire of one, then sell it or trade it. Out of those three types, I still have the Glock and the CZ. The Beretta treated me very well for about 5 years, but the grip size and slide safety made me finally sell it for another gun.

I have a CZ75B SA. I have carried a Beretta M9, and shot other 92 series as well. I have shot G19 and G17 and some of the other Glocks.

My CZ went with me to the range today. It goes almost every time. It's boring - it shoots straight, every trigger pull, and kicks the brass out. There are many variants on the CZ design, including polymers if the steel or aluminum ones are too heavy for your britches. Most of them, except the decock ones, can be carried single action-style, cocked and locked. If you like a NICE, consistent trigger, your CZ will have one out of the box. If it isn't nice enough for you, it is easily upgraded.

Berettas are boring, too. They have shorter trigger resets than my CZ. They seem to shoot straight, and kick the brass out every time. The safeties on the ones I had in the service don't seem to hold up long-term, but they are replaceable items if they wear out, so it's really not that big of a deal.

Glocks are boring. They shoot well. They don't fit my hand at all. The triggers on all but one I have fired ... are not to my taste at all. That one was a gun set up for competition, and had a very smooth, short, crisp, 3.5lbs trigger. Nice trigger, and fun to shoot. For a comp gun, it would be fine, but I wouldn't carry that thing on a bet. Neither would the man who owns it - he carries an HK P2000. But he always uses it for his comps.

There are many fine guns out there. These three basic versions you have picked are all among the best. For me, I like the Beretta, Sig, and CZ designs best. The Beretta and CZ fit my hands best. The CZ75B SA with a Hogue wraparound grip is my go-to in a 9mm, full-sized gun. If you want to get what someone else likes best, buy that one.
