Glock 34 or CZ75B for a newb getting into competitive shooting?

[rvb]

I'm assuming that if you have a decocker, your first shot in the string would be DA?

That would be a disincentive to me, or reason to buy a safety model and carry it cocked and locked.

Do you compete? Because th answer it depends what game/division you want to shoot. Exactly why I suggest getting to know th game before spending money. Some divisions you HAVE to start DA, others you don't have to, some yo u don't have to, but 9mm won't be competitive, etc.

fear not the double action shot. It all takes practice, no matter the equipment. I started with a Beretta 92, have run an open gun, 1911, and glocks. If you expect to win because of your equipment choice, you're off track. First step is getting started, not spending a bunch of $!

Learning to to shoot DA will make you better in the long run, IMO.

I love Glocks, but I have a CZ75B and I shoot so well with it...I finally had to admit that I love the CZ75B more. I shoot with the CZ, strut around a little bit, then shoot with another pistol and remember how I'm really not very good. I still EDC a Glock...for now. I don't know about competitions and don't have any real interest in competitions, but if I had to shoot in a competition I'd definitely pick the CZ75B because I shoot better with it than anything else.

I'm just a weirdo, but I compete with the gun platform that is my self defense gun platform.

It's how you get better for the more important stuff.



FYI - A few $ invested in a few hours with a solid trainer is your best handgun money ever spent.

For IDPA, once upon a time a 1911. Now an M&P.

And I don't expect to win...

The Glock. If your going to run a pistol to death, it should be cheap, reliable, and easy to fix.

I'm in Scottsburg OP. I have an SP-01 you can shoot.

I like in rural southern Indiana. Nowhere near me has gun rentals, at least not like that (range I shoot at does machine gun rentals though...)

Dave's Gun Shop, Holland Indiana, about a 2 hour drive for you. I suspect he will have the Glocks and an Xdm & similar as range guns, doubt that he has the CZ but he might.

I have no connection to the business. Darn near shot his G43 yesterday but I was afraid I would like it.

I would vote for the 34 for the reason that it can be upgraded yourself and upgrade parts are relatively inexpensive for the most part. Also your already use to shooting with the Glock platform since you have the 19 already. Just my thoughts....

I have a 34 too OP. I can bring both. Just let me know. It would need to be on a Saturday. I could meet you at the range you frequent.
