Guys, I'm in the market for a chunk of metal. Haha...
I love full size 9's, and the weight/feel of a metal framed pistol.
This won't be for carry, just home defense/epic amount of range time since I'm getting a year membership for X-mas
I have been looking at a couple different options, but when it comes down to it I keep coming back to either a SIG P226 (with the E2 grips), or a CZ75B.
I have had a Beretta Civilian release M9 before, and know that I like them, but want something different.
I have shot a friends P220 once. First time I ever shot it, every shot made 1 ragged hole at 15ft. Only thing is, I just can't afford to shoot .45, and I don't reload. That is why I am thinking the P226.
On the other hand, the CZ75B looks just as nice (maybe looks a little better actually), and from what I understand is just as accurate.
Price on additional mags seems about the same. Overall dimensions as far as weight/barrel length/capacity are all very close.
They both feel excellent in my hand. The SIG with the E2 grips is amazing, and I really like the short reach to the slide release for my relatively short thumbs...
The CZ feels very comfortable as well...
The SIG costs a little more obviously, but $ isn't too big of an issue as this will be my present to me with some of our tax return this year.
So what's the word....is one better than the other? Is there anything else I should be looking at (barring 9mm 1911's)?
If you have either, please feel free to share some pics...what's a thread without some gun porn amiright?
