CZ

[novabrian]

I looked at a CZ today.I felt really good but heavy.I didn't like the slide.It's really thin to grab onto and rack.Looking to replace my G22 and I can't decide.I know I want a 9mm.

It's not too tough to get used to, and there are (arguably) benefits of having the slide ride inside the frame rails. After a few hundred rounds it loosens up a lot, too. Sigs and Berettas are the other popular choices for metal frame 9mm handguns. I have a Sig and a CZ and overall they're about tied in my opinion (Sig is a little bulkier, but trigger is slightly better).

You should look at the CZ P-01. It's lighter, and it's oh-so-slightly smaller than the regular CZ75. It's much like how a Glock 23 would compare to your Glock 22. Same great ergonomics as the fullsize CZ75, but with a lightweight alloy frame and DA/SA decocker if you're into that kind of thing.

You get used to it. I had the same concerns when I bought my CZ. Now I don't even notice it. The benefits are lower bore line and a very tight, smooth and long fit between the slide and frame which makes it a very accurate gun. the frame takes less of a beating due to the long contact area of the two. Thousands of rounds it it will still be tight and accurate.

The slide grip area is easy to get over with training. The CZ SP-01 is my favorite range pistol, since I had the hammer replaced and polished.
