    Help with 1st handgun

    I've been researching and I've narrowed my choices to cz sp01, cz75 compact, and glock 19. Glock 19s are everywhere so I can actually see it and even test it out, but cz pistols seem to sell out before I can actually see one. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

      All three are good guns, but out of those 3, the Glock 19 would probably be the best first handgun and the easiest to find. SP-01 is a close second for me. I personally don't like the CZ75 compact.

        All great choices. Think practicality and do the old school thing and make a pros and cons list of each gun. Big question is what are you going to use it for? Home defense? Range shooting? Both? The SP-01 is a full-size pistol whereas the Glock 19 and 75 Compact are smaller size pistols. There's also the idea of striker fired vs. DA/SA (Double Action/Single Action).

        I own a Glock 17, CZ 97B, and a Sig SP2022. I choose the 17 for home defense because it's a consistent trigger pull each time. With the Sig and CZ, you have to keep in mind the DA for the first pull, then after that the shots are in SA. Just my personal preference.

        You probably already know this but best tip is to find one and at least try to hold it.

          Located near ammo bros in norwalk. I don't mind waiting for a gun to be available if it's worth it. Read good reviews on glock and sp01. Nothing on the compact. Liking that cz has a manual safety... I know most people say you don't need it, but just want one kind of

            An SP-O1 is awesome but you might have to fight to secure one like I did. I would go with the G19 so you can start practicing then go from there.

                This would be for home defense and range shooting. I doubt we can ever open carry in ca....

                  Cz p01.
                  It's the smaller brother to the sp01. Compact with rails. Best of both worlds

                          You want polymer or steel? Hammer or striker fired? Still size or compact? Need more hints as to your guide lines

                              Have you try shooting all of then yes? if not...go rent at Insight shooting in Artesia
                              they had CZ 75 and Glock to rent.

                              and Turner's in Norwalk should have all CZ in stock for you to handel

                              for first time buyer, I will take one with Safety function as first choice that will be CZ Sp-01 or Compact model.

                              good luck.
