Tactical Sport Vs. Czechmate

[oakengineer]

I'm looking for a new gun for USPSA.  Previously I've shot an XDm 5.25 and a Sig X5, but I'm looking for something more competitive.  STIs are nice and all, but I guess I've just never been much of a 1911 fan.  I recently picked up a CZ Champion, and it has given me a whole new appreciation for how finely crafted the high-end CZs are.  So that has made me look into getting a TZ Tactical Sport.  The pricepoint is nice, and I'd pick up a .40 so I could shoot Limited or IPSC Standard.  But its leaving me wondering if I should fork out the extra money for a CZ Czechmate.  At almost 3 times the cost, its a big jump, but I love that you can shoot Open or Limited (albiet at a disadvantage because of it shooting minor)  What do you guys think?  Is it worth the extra money?

I'm just going to leave this here for you guys to enjoy

Coming from someone who started shooting limited minor, go for the TS in 40!

Even if you put in the aftermarket goodies and do a frame reduction, you'll be around $1600-1700.

That said, if you can get on the second pre-order list for a TS Orange, that would be right around the same $1600-1700 with the better front and back strap checkering.

I keep looking at a Czechmate, but loading 9mm Major or running in limited minor again just aren't as appealing...maybe open minor just for fun...

I hear you.  The only issue witht the TS orange is that it supposedly won't run in a Race Master hoster because of the new trigger guard.  Bummer.
