My PCR with grips to match my outfit...

The ones on the pistol, I think.Which texture was your favorite?
Just shoot it in a match or two. After that you'll know what you need to replace to improve if any.I feel like this may be the gun that helps me actually like shooting handguns...
Ok folks, what are the MUST DO upgrades for this gun. I will probably just use it for IDPA since a buddy shoots it and wants me to shoot with him. Also, the 17 round MecGar mags the way to go?

IMO, it’s the best handgun for the money available.
Really!
My wife rented one at a range and loved it too!
Maybe I should get one.
Which model should I start with?

Trust me. You’ll like it.
Very reminiscent of a Sig action with de-cocker and SA/DA which I like.
I like it! Will have to see how much $ I have left after the market is through gyrating.
All of em

Seriously, though...I think @B00ger nailed it for carry options. I carry a P01 myself.
If it's going to be a range toy, go full size.
SP01 is a great option
SP01 Phantom if you want to stay with polymer.
Shadow 2 if you want to skip the b.s. and go top shelf.
Thats wifeys, and yeah, I catch a ration of shit about it lol.I have been listening to y'all singing their praises for a while now. I will have to shoot one before I buy as I have made that mistake too many times.
@draco88, what's up with the LGBTQAOBZ? model in the image?
Thats wifeys, and yeah, I catch a ration of shit about it lol.
@LeeMajors loves it...calls it the Jeff Gordon model. Says he wants one, too
His and hers

The Glock boys and their Gucci guns don't bother me, I am more of a metal gun fan myself. I have 2 plastic guns (a Taurus 809C, and a SA XDS) that were won at an FNRA banquet.
But that thing @draco88 owns gives competition to and Gucci Glock I've ever seen.
I'd own one like that. Just didn't know anything about you to give you crap aboutThats wifeys, and yeah, I catch a ration of shit about it lol.

I feel like there are some things you need to know as well if you are considering a CZ.
CZ is a great gun, but not without its flaws, too. The sights are useable out of the box but imho need upgrading asap (with the exception of the supressor ready models. They seem to be pretty decent).
If it is going to be for carry, the Compact/PCR/P01 all come with rubber grips that will catch on a cover garment and screw you up. Change those out asap.
Although it seems CZ is phasing them out, some models come with a magazine that has a thick rubber baseplate. They'll snag cover garments, too. So, if it's going to be for carry, change those, too.
Out of the box, the trigger is merely ok. Long and gritty. Dry fire and shoot it. A lot. It will smooth up and be a good one in time, but LOP will still be the same. Seems like I noticed the difference in most of mine somewhere around 7-800 pulls.

Completely agree about the grips. The stock grips feel great and shoot well, but they are pretty sticky and, lets face it, bland looking. That's why in this tread nearly no pistols are still wearing their stock black rubber grips. On the bright side though, replacement grip panels are massively plentiful in dozens of different styles and colors and cuts, and most all are <$50, so you can have multiple...or as some have stated "change them to fit your outfit".
If you can't fire one easily, go pick one up, hold it down at your waist and notice how it fits your hand, pick a spot on the wall, point at it, then look at your sights. They have the best natural point of aim of any gun I've fondled. After knowing that for 20 years I finally recently got one. Now I want to shoot the poly strikers to possibly replace my Glock EDC's.I have been listening to y'all singing their praises for a while now. I will have to shoot one before I buy as I have made that mistake too many times.
Easy there... some of us think they're both the best fitting and functioning SD handguns on the market.You will catch grief from Glock Fanboys who blindly cling to the belief that their Austrian plastic is superior to the Czech offerings.

I'll step over a M&P or Sig without picking them up.
I get it, I've a P229 safe queen that doesn't fit me and the NPA is wayyy off. I bought it only as an investment when they were fetching $800 used, now I'd be lucky to get $400 for it. Sig's tendency to fire when dropped, have a pre-loaded striker, and use the buyer as a test bed is another reason I'll pass on their newer products.To each their own! You could not GIVE me a Glock though.
I have fired a few and I just DO NOT like the way they fit my hand. I have bought too many guns that I could not stand after a couple hundred rounds. I'd never get to a couple hundred with Glock. I have a P220 and P229 I absolutely love. Never missed a single round with either. I just had an RDS put on my 229 and love it. Had a 938 I gave to my brother, tried an M17 and a 365 too - keep em!
I'm old, ugly and opinionated. Luckily my wife is blind!

The mid and small Glocks (G26, 27/19, 23) fit me perfect, and I've never had a failure in 20 years with either. I've a G34 and the NPA is off due to the longer grip.
I thought the drop bang was only the poly 320’s (I could have the # wrong). The P226/229 are fine pistols, they just don’t fit me.Agreed, SOME, or CERTAIN, models have had issues of a tendency to fire when dropped. I don't believe that was on SA/DA metal guns being carried with a full pipe but decocked. If wrong, please show me.
Anybody can cherry pick a specific scenario and blow it out of proportion.
Opinions are like buttholes, everybody's got one, and they all stink!

No worries. Like I said, my P229 is a very nice, a well made tool that just doesn't fit me quite so well. I'm a bit miffed, I bought it as an investment before Sig started mass producing cheaper pistols and driving the prices way down on the higher quality metal guns. They cheapened their brand.I apologize if I responded too strongly. My Sigs are older and I have only been 100% pleased!

I think their 'fix' was to replace the metal trigger with a lighter plastic oneI think only the original P320s have that issue. The newer ones with the flat trigger don’t (if I remember correctly). Does support your test bed theory, though
I think last time I was there Fuquay G&G had a CZ75 Omega for $519. Good value and solid gun for that money. Full sized gun, but not a bad start to a CZ collection.
Mace Sports over near Mebane always has a good selection of CZ’s.
What do you guys recommend using for dry fire practice, snap caps (which ones) or the o-ring method?
