I'm debating my next carry gun - either a GLOCK 19 or a CZ P-01.
Logically, I know the GLOCK will be far easier to shop for - mags, holsters, and other paraphernalia are obviously everywhere. I know I shoot the GLOCK as well as any gun I've tried, and I know they're as accurate and reliable as any off-the-shelf duty gun. I've shot several 19s and the design fits my hand pretty well.
Then I come to that plastic front sight (new GLOCKs still have those, right?). My gut recoils at the thought - good Lord, the finish on my steel CZ-75 sight is worn from daily carry - how would a plastic sight fare? And why a plastic sight on a gun that costs about $450 new?
I know the P-01 is heavier, carries one round less, is as fat as the G19...I even prefer the "safe action" trigger to DA/SA. But I'm having trouble pulling the trigger on the GLOCK. Is this rational? What considerations, other than pure utility, do you put into your CCW?
