Hello, after posting
here, I was advised to bring my deliberation to this thread. I would be glad if I could get any feedback from experienced CZ users.
I am quite new to firearms - only half-a-year. Currently I have only CZ 75 Compact D (PCR) both for carry and range. I was first thinking about getting 1911 as a second firearm, but then I decided to leave the .45 purchase for later and just buy another 9mil for the range.
Having a decocker model, I am inclined to get the SP-01 Tactical (actually lack of decocker model was one of the reasons why I discarded 1911 and CZ 97 along with the fact that I still have a lot to learn when it comes to shooting, and 9mil rounds are considerably cheaper than .45). But after watching some videos with Angus Hobdel, I am thinking about the Shadow or Shadow Line. The safety and lack of firing pin block are however putting me off a bit. I don't plan to carry the gun, but it still seems a good idea to keep all the guns with decocker, at least now when I am still new to the business. When it comes to firing pin block, I have not dropped any gun yet, but still knowing that it would not go bang on me lets me sleep easier.
I dry fired both the Tactical and Shadow Line in a shop on Wednesday and I could notice a wee bit of difference, but nothing serious really.
Then there is a little devil in the back of my mind that is telling me to get a P09 and PDW conversion for more fun... is P09 any good as a range gun when compared to SP-01? I wanted to compare them at a range, but the one that has both models near me is closed now pending investigation of a girl hit by a bounced bullet
I am planning on getting the new Scorpion EVO 3 down the line anyway, so the PDW conversion is not a must for me. BTW I am no gun nut, but after playing with it a bit in the shop (no actual shooting) I just know I will have to buy the Scorpi. Probably some time in next 3 years - VZ 58 and a shotgun will be in order after the second pistol.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
