Looking for a "modern" 9mm pistol

[Clark Howard]

My friend who shoots in IPSC matches has had continuing glitches with his S&W. I like my Sig 239. Regards, Clark

I think I'm starting to lean towards the CZ75 compact in 9mm with the CZ75 full-size as an alternate.

Another important question to ask is mags available and how much. I got my P220 factory mags with my pdw for $10.00 each, I bought 5 extra.

Mec-Gar magazines are <$20 and I believe they manufacture CZ magazines.

If your going compact CZ75...IMO

Another consideration, a 1911 Colt Combat Commander in 9 mm. It is an in between compact and full size 1911. I find mine to be an excellent purchase, handles well, very accurate and just the right weight. If you find one at one of the shows, try it out and see how it feels in you hand. I prefer it over my Springfield XD 9mm Service Pistol.

Just to "close this thread up" ... ordered a CZ 75 B full-size 9mm. Paperwork Mon. and the usual 5- to 10-day waiting period.

Thanks, everyone, for your input.

I just picked up a Beretta 92S from Bud's guns. $300 Italian Police trade in.. Ad says they are 70-80% guns but mine (just picked it up yesterday) is 90%+ Very clean, very little wear. The only complaint is the sights suck. I'll replace them at some point down the road....

I think you made a wise decision Rick. Good luck with your CZ-75. I think you will enjoy it.

Unless you cast and reload a pistol is a hard friend to keep feed. I am looking at 8,000 .45 200 grain for my friend Sigmund for next year. With a 60 pound propane fired pot and 6 gang mold I can cast a lot at each session. Now sizing and lubing is another story.

excellent choice,

it will serve you well

Another choice would be one of the semi MP-40's that are coming in country. @ the S.O. I had access to two of them and boy are they fun! Looking to turn a semi into an SBR next year, can't afford the real thing.

Excellent choice. I've had a CZ-75 since 1985. I'm on my third and last one, had it since 1988. All Pre-B.
