tercel89 said:I didn't read the other posts but I have both . I love the CZ pistols. They ROCK ! But I also have Glock pistols and they ROCK too. Due to the low number of parts in the Glock I would choose the Glock in a battle or self defense situation. I have detailed stripped a CZ 75 and there are TOO MANY parts that can go wrong and just too many moving parts to rely on as a self defense gun .
I'll agree that the Glock is an elegantly simple design and both the Glock and CZ rock. Had Glock made their original model look like a striker-fired 1911, they'd probably be one of the few guns you could buy today!! (I doubt that would have greatly modified the price or the functionality of the gun that much.)
As for reliability -- too many parts MIGHT be an issue, or might not.
Aircraft are much more complex today than they were just 30 years ago, but they're far safer...The smallest Toyotas probably don't have a lot fewer parts than far less-reliable cars (like the notorious YUGO).
I would argue that the NUMBER of parts isn't as big an issue as how well those parts are made and how well they work together.
