g5ta ...... I know how you feel. I had an XD .40 last year, which is a good solid, easy maintenance, simple to use weapon ....... that has since become the shooter for my wife, being she is a reserve police officer. The XD's are a fine polymer pistol, but to me the CZ's are more of an "original style" pistol. They "look" and function like a gun was meant to ! The slide being in the frame also helps to "streamline" the CZ in overall dimensions, especially for CCW purpose. I currently have a 75D P-01 compact and 75B stainless, and am trying not to purchase another for the time being !

Great pistols.
