CZ-75 all day long. Buy a CZ Kadet (slide/barrel for .22) and it fits on your cz75 frame. I have one that will shoot 2” 5 shot groups at 25 yds (iron sights). The cz-75 is just as accurate with the 9mm barrel.
If you want to REALLY learn to shoot, buy a case of .22 ammo and practice all the fundamentals before going to a centerfire handgun. You will learn them much better and you will be able to shoot everything from .22s to .475 linebaugh better having done the PoW
yeah, overall that was the impression i got about the quality of the weapon... possibly one of the best pistols ever made
swiss = clocks and rifles; czech = pistols
the ones you talked about i've heard good things about, i wouldn't have a clue about why i should choose a striker over a hammer... maybe safety and ease of concealment?
anyway, i've barely fired guns in my life, before i even started to really take an interest in it, 1996 port arthur and they made it too complicated and expensive for my poor ass to get into it... i did the safety course, and then got myself into legal trouble and that was that, even though it was a totally non-violent matter and i even confessed my way into the problem so they wouldn't turn my mother's place upside down playing gangster theatre
Striker vs hammer:
Striker fired is the current flavor du jour because the trigger pull is the same for every shot (big plus for most people), and it’s cheaper to manufacture. Can safely be carried cocked without a mechanical safety. Glock and most current plastic duty pistols.
Hammer fired (CZ-75, Beretta 92/M9, 1911). For all trigger pulls to be the same it needs to be carried cocked, and a manual safety is required. DA/SA pistols can be carried hammer down and safety off - but the first trigger pull will be very different than subsequent ones. That said, the single action trigger pull on a hammer gun is far superior to a striker pistol.
Strikers have gotten better over the years, and they are certainly good enough for self-defense, but for precision shooting there is no comparison. Hammer guns are overall more reliable, because they hit the primer with more energy (striker has less mass). With quality ammo it’s not an issue with striker pistols, but ammo with unusually hard primers or high performance, high pressure cartridges that use small rifle primers (9x23 Winchester) will always be hammer fired guns.
Striker guns like the Glock are easier to master with far less training, which is why police and military have adopted them in the last few decades. Hammer guns, once mastered, can outperform especially in accurate shooting at longer ranges - but police and military don’t have the budget to train to that extent for the grunts, who are going to be using a rifle anyway. A civilian however is probably not going to have a rifle just going to town in daily life, so having the capability to make longer shots, 25-50 yds, is not unnecessary in my opinion.
yeah, i'm very inclined to agree with the benefit of long range accuracy... looking forward to getting into it, hopefully soon
And hammer fired pistols: not only precision long range shots, but also close range precision shooting like Mozambique drills and headshots.
