What's Your Next Handgun?

[Birds Away]

The weight makes the Compact by far the better shooter.  Some people don't like to carry the extra weight.  I say get a good belt and holster and carry what you shoot best.  IMO, the P01 shoots better than the PCR, also by a wide margin.  I think it may be because of the slight additional nose weight.  I know it is probably insignificant but it sure seems to make a difference to me.

Although the it's not a CZ its still a pretty good gun
Sig 1911. Max Michel  model.   Getting it to shoot. USPSA single stack division

Sig 1911s are very nice.  Excellent choice.

Pulled the trigger on my next gun tonight.... ordered myself a P-01!

[puddintame]

you will not be disappointed. the P01 was my first CZ and still my favorite of the four I own

I'm sure that I won't be!  I sold my Glock 17 this afternoon and that freed up enough funds to get the P-01.  Can't wait for it to get here!

I hit my local gun shops this morning looking for a Beretta PX4 Compact before the rebate expires. One shop had one for $596, I passed as MSRP is $575. Bass Pro had one for $550.

I got home and decided to check online. Bud's had the make an offer open on the Compact so I bid $450 and they accepted it. I hate it when that happens. I pulled up another screen and bid $400 and they took that also. I couldn't get under $400, so I took that with a $75 rebate. I figured $325 is not bad.

Either a SAR K2-45 or a CZ97. Leaning towards the 97.

I have a first generation 97B, it is a great range gun but I would not want to carry it all day! When I am not carrying my CZ P-07 I carry a P-83 in 9x18 Mak. What I want to carry instead of the P-83 would be one of these: CZ P-01, Kahr CW 9, S&W Shield or one  of the Airweight S&W snubbies/3" bbl revolver in.357/.38 Spl +P. Something thinner than the P-07 would be ideal. I know a snubbie is not thinner but it would be lighter! 

Another choice for me to consider... a Walther CCP. Here's a video comparison of the CCP vs a Canik TP9.

I so love my Canik 55 TP9! You can read my review of it here: http://www.czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=58306.0

While I like the stock TP-9 Grip, the Pachmayr Grip Glove enhances it a bit.

That's a steal, congrats! Are you going to keep it configured as an F, or convert it to a G?

[oreocat]

I'm thinking about going to the G, not sure now. I'll get my hands on it and then decide.

[Cyanide]

I wish Beretta would make the compact (and subcompact) in DAO like they do the full size (picked up a police trade in Type D a couple weeks ago). In lieu of that, I prefer Type G, as my first ever pistol was an M9 and I am not a fan of the combination safety/decocker.

Are you considering swapping out your mainspring for a D style?

[oreocat]

I'll have to get in in hand and see how it feels. I have D springs in my M9 and 92s, but I'm not seeing much online about a need to do anything to the PX4 series.

[Birds Away]

I think I need another pre-B.  They keep getting away from me.

[Cyanide]

Oreocat, good deal. Please let me know what you find out.

Birds Away, you're going to have to set a trap so that it can't get away from you hahaha.

Set you up a cardboard box with a stick attached to a string, put a couple boxes of ammo in there and when that pre-B comes sniffing around you got it!
