I've been eyeing the CZ-75 and P-01 models because of all of the great reviews. I've shot them and I really like them. Perfect fit for my mits. I want one!
But here in Maryland, handgun prices are outrageous. A CZ-75 costs about 470 bucks for the BD model. The cheapest I've been able to find the P-01 is 500 bucks. I know, I know... I need to move. I will someday (hopefully soon).
Anyway.... Since I'm on a very limited budget, I can only afford one. I had some questions about these 2 models (the 75BD and the P-01 - yes I like the decockers):
Which one would be a better defense gun? - shoot hollowpoints more reliably, have a longer service life, be less prone to parts breakage, not have to get it tuned before trusting it for definsive work, etc. I was reading the P-01's test report and it's kinda making me lean more towards the P-01 http://www.cz-usa.com/press.releases.php?msgid=37
But I didn't know if any of you CZer's out there had any better advice. I'm really torn here about both guns (and will get both eventually), but for now, I want the one that can be trusted to sit next to my bed and help keep me safe. Thanks in advance.
