Spend my Money - 1750 budget

[Woobie]

I think you're looking at $1,300+ for a shadow 2, but don't quote me.

Sphinx makes an excellent CZ clone. The only other clone I would consider is Tanfoglio, but only because they offer some options CZ does not. I would go CZ over Tanfo if there is a comparable CZ.

Best bet for a high end CZ is probably Indy Gun Club, where Dean suggested.

I have no advice as to if you should buy a stock 75b and make it what you want or start with a done piece. I myself prefer the challenge of making one what I want.

who makes the sphinx again i have heard of them and that they better cz in some regards.

A CZ can be modified/upgraded where as some or all of the clones not so much.

For the money you are talking you could have something very close to this.....

well hey spending less would be great or buying two nice guns inside the budget even better. Is that a custom 1911? i own a pair of colts i really like. Neither is a 9mm so they get shot less just due to ammo costs.

It is a custom in 10mm with a Hybrid barrel. I did buy it used from the person that built my 2011 for me. He also did the re-color on it and ported the barrel. Just got it back.

2 guns would be cool if you can get something nice Xs 2 depending on your wants/needs/desires.

Go to the CZickness thread and look up Llh1956 and ask him or Birdsaway. I believe Llh has one in 10mm. I have shot it and it is a very nice piece.

Any love for the hi powers? i always heard the CZ was based off it?

I like them personally, just a "Nice" version was never really made. I personally think the Hi-Power is the grand daddy of the Sig's and CZ's

The similarity to the CZ 75 series is obvious.
