You need to handle and test-fire before you buy, if possible. I'd even say driving the 3hrs is worth it once you have shot before you buy. Once everyone has tried something they can then decide if its right for them.
EVERYONE on here can say what they think is best based on their opinion, BUT you need to know for yourself if these are the right fit by test firing them first.
I thought I wanted a glock 17/19 for my carry. I test fired it and hated it. Then I tried the CZ 75 BD. I absolutely loved it. CZ wasn't even on my radar before that.
Yer Thanks, I couldn't agree more.
I was soon going to pull the plug on a 229 and a 226,having shot the 226 and held the 229(when my wife picked it up she actually said "oohhhhh"...good start). Then Cz pops up on the radar w great claims of accuracy, dependability and ergonomics(and price). I honestly have no problem driving to investigate and likely will, in the mean time I started my vetting process here, hoping to distill what I might look into.
