CZ 75 SA - HD?

[andalusi]

I have a shotgun and an XD45 already for home defense, so this is a purely hypothetical question, but what do y'all think about the CZ 75 SA variant as a home defense weapon?

I plan to pick up the single action CZ 75 with the idea that it would be a good target practice pistol. But I had the thought that my wife might prefer it to the XD (she hates shooting it) or the shotgun (she *really* hates shooting that one, though she does love the buckshot pattern when she gets a head shot on a target!).

Is a SAO pistol a bad idea, though? For liability reasons, would a DA/SA pistol be the way to go?

People have been using SAO pistols (1911 types, Browning High Powers) for years fior SD, a SAO 75 varient isn't
going to be any more of a liability issue than those two, so don't worry.

It really comes down to the operator; any good quality pistol can be an effective and safe defensive weapon provided the operator is knowledgeable and skilled in it's proper use.

With proper training, why a SA pistol would not be a good HD pistol?

Any pistol (DA, SA, whatever) can be good for HD if you give it and yourself the time for proper training.

Thanks, B Strong! The liability issue was my concern. I probably should have made that a bit clearer.

As for proper training, I figure that a solid metal 9MM will be easier to handle than a polymer 45 and with the cheaper cost of ammo, shooting at the range a couple of times a week won't eat too much into my pocketbook.

If you're already in a situation where you have to shoot someone, does it really matter what you shoot them with? I actually have a CZ 75B SA and would use it for HD if I had to. Right now the house gun is a Glock 29 10mm. Some would argue 10mm is too powerful. But it's MY life I'm defending, so there's no such thing as 'too powerful' IMO.

If your wife is in a situation where she needs to "stop the threat", I say grab the nearest firearm and defend herself.
