Semi auto 9mm under $550

[morfeeis]

So I was all set to join the glock club ( man do I love their sights), I wanted another full size pistol to replace or keep my ruger p95 company. So it was simple G17 here I come right? Wrong, now I start to read about cz75B and I find that more Leo's use the cz75 then any other firearm on earth, I just can't find anything bad about the dam thing plus it's dead sexxy. Then I find this stupid like and it's looking like cz75 is next http://www.best9mm.com/ . They rate so many other firearms above the flock and the cz they gave the crown to.

I know, not another vs thread and the best way to make up my mind is to hit the range. But for those that have fired both can you run down the pros and cons



Thanks

Full size? I agree with the review, and I bought one.

Without shooting let the budget decide. Then let the aftermarket accessories availability have a vote. Then does weight matter to you? That's another vote. How do they feel in your hand. When trying out a handgun don't do what most of us do. Which is point at the ground or at the wall. Safely with the permission of the GS or the owner and with out muzzling anyone. Move it, swing it, practice a draw. Place it on the counter and grab it quickly. See which one is more natural. People say shoot it whichever you like best..buy it. Well most of the time it's a controlled environment we shoot in. For safety purposes most ranges don't allow drawing from a holster. Or rapid fire so it's hard to compare. For me anyways, but I'm crazy.

Sometimes when you shoot it only confuses you more. It happens to me, cause I'll end up liking them both and want to buy them both. When I'm at a tie the above comes into play.

Do these pistols seem similar to you?

[zfields]

No.

He asked for a pistol under 550. His first choice was a glock. I presented another option. Do you have an issue with this?

[paul0660]

No, I was asking seriously, because there are many for that price, and I wondered how you were catagorising them.

[zfields]

Ok, Sorry for the snotty response. Didnt realize it till after i hit reply.

Was just tossing out 2 guns Ive shot in that price range that I liked.

[paul0660]

Ok doke. Your response wasn't out of line; my question wasn't asked very well.
