CZ 75 vs RIA 1911

[FeuerFrei]

I wouldn't consider anything less than a 44 mag for personal defense handgun when hogs are involved. Bears either.

[Maddawg46]

Ruger Alaskan in .44 mag. If you have to have a semi-auto, then the Glock 10mm would be my choice.
Just make sure to save one round for yourself if he gets ya! Less suffering that way. LOL!

This is going to start a flame war, but I'm going to say it anyways.

Almost no one is paying attention.

I asked what would be the better choice between a CZ and a RIA. What was the majority response???

GLOCK.

And the comments about size aren't taking into account the possoble size of the person carrying. I've owned a P220R and it fit just fine under a jacket. So size isn't an issue.

Some are acting like I plan on hunting with a pistol. More lack of paying attention. Others focused on the "looks awesome" comment and took the discussion somewhere it wasn't supposed to go. More lack of paying attention.

Only one person actually gave a response that was relevant to the question.

I asked for a comparison between 2 specific firearms, yet very few people actually noticed. The name of the thread is "CZ 75 vs RIA 1911". NOT "what is your idea of a good hunting pistol???"

I'm looking for a dual purpose firearm. I narrowed it down to 2 guns and asked for a comparison. Is it really that hard to do that???

[Mr Blu]

I'd personally additionally recommend one thing greater throughout quality regarding pig file backup.

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at, but it could be my brain trying too hard.

Please explain.

[Cool Custard]

Revolver in 357 or bigger.

Yes... with the information given. Do you have a model in mind, or at least a caliber?

E.g., 1911's are typically .45 ACP. CZ 75's are typically 9MM. And while there is overlap, they don't support the same list of calibers.
And there are multiple models of CZ 75's, sub-compact to full-size, decockers to SAO... etc., etc.,..........

Love this video:

I left it wide open for a reason. That way, there could be a proper comparison. If I chose something too specific, it would have defeated the purpose. But apparently just comparing base models is already too hard for people.

It's too hard for many to even keep it to that.

It's like asking a child which one of 2 things to get at the toy store, when all the kid keeps asking for, is the toy made at a different shop.

I gave parameters for a reason, but no one seems to be able to stay within them.

No one has even asked why I chose those 2 makes/models , which CAN be important information. I chose them because of budget and because of reviews by other people who have shot them. So a lot of work is already done.

And there is plenty of information to go on.

1) I want a dual purpose pistol. Hunting/Personal Defense.
2) I gave 2 different models of firearms to compare.

Therefor, the answer should be one of the following : which one is better at what I want the firearm to do and why, or neither and why.

1 guy did that. Everyone else just kept saying GLOCK, or some random caliber that neither pistol comes in. Then there are the "which ever shoots well in your hand" people that don't help because what if the one that does, is not only NOT one of the pistols listed, but also doesn't come in a caliber that would be helpful???

Can you give us a hint as to what you consider the 'base models'? e.g., you're talking about possible concealed carry, right?

You gave us two different platforms, each consisting of several different models, features, calibers, etc.

Not enough info for me beyond saying.... Go rent both and see which you prefer. Good Luck!

[TMB 1]

I'd rather have the RIA 1911 45acp, or a revolver in 45 Colt or 44mag.

[ktmguy]

I have a cz75b in 40 s&w but if I was to take a pistol as back up on hogs, it would be my ruger super black hawk in 44 mag, without hesitation.

[daybreak]

just because OP got pissy, i'm recommending a glock. i never recommend glocks.

On the info provided, it's strictly personal preference....

Both have similar features, both go bang when you pull the trigger.
Unless, of course, you have a preference giving your money to a company based in the Philippines vs the Czech Republic.

As stated... go rent both and decide for yourself.

[mievil]

Ok. Like I said originally. Between those 2 pistols, 10mm RIA.

IMO this 2 things should be completely separate guns. Based on what you are asking I would do the 1911 with some Chips 10rd mags.
