Do You EDC A CZ?

[OV1kenobi]

Wish I could have started with a CZ, but couldn't. A Glock 19 is my current EDC at this time.  Here is why.

Back in 2008 when I went shopping for a 9mm pistol in preparation for acquiring my Oklahoma  CWL, I really had my heart set on a CZ-75 Compact, although I also decided that the Gen 3 Glock 19 would be my second choice.  Money was tight at the time, so I wanted to buy something with a 0% credit card that I had.  My local CZ dealer wouldn't accept credit cards, so I found a NIB Glock 19 from a dealer that would.

So, I've been carrying a Glock 19 ever since. I will never disrespect Glock pistols. I have found them to be reasonably accurate, extremely reliable pistols with a simple manual of arms. I will trust my life with them, for Glocks are "premium" pistols.

Recently, I purchased a Canik C-100 and it has been  the most accurate 9mm pistol I own, including the Glock. While not a real CZ, I am impressed!  The weight and balance is superb. So, I am now thinking of transitioning from my Glock to a CZ-style pistol. Either my C-100 or an actual CZ.

Have any of you transitioned from another platform to the CZ?

Are you glad you did?

Opinions are very welcome.

Besides the history. CZs are incredible. Nothing I've had comes close to the accuracy. My CZs shoot better than I do!

P09
PCR
75 BD Police

Also carry a Glock 30S on occasion. Good shooter also.

There is something that I and my shooting buddy noticed about the C-100.  It weighs about the same as the Glock 19, but yet, feels more sold and substantial. My buddy, also a Glock 19 owner, even said that the C-100 felt lighter in his hand.  I suspect that is because of the superb balance, ergonomics and pointability.

I carry a CZ, and compete with them. I shoot them better than anything I have tried yet.

My primary EDC is the CZ Pro Tec 1.  Can't get any better.

I started with Walthers(still have them) and went to purchasing Berettas. When I purchased my first CZ, I sold off all but one Beretta and bought more CZs. I alternate carrying the RAMI and the PPS M2. I am happy with my CZs since I can modify them to make them so much better. My 75BD is my favorite range pistol.

Tried a lot of guns over the years and was big into Gen 3 S&W semi autos like the 6906, for carry, and the 5900 series. It all ended when I shot a CZ 75B. Switched over as my primary and never looked back. Still have some others for fun and variety, but love me some CZs. Had a G23 for awhile and they do the job, but, for me, I shoot the CZ platform noticeably better so I traded it for a P09 FDE. Have a couple of Canik full size 9mm and they are very good guns.

I have gone from a SD9VE to rotating it with a C100.  I sold a Beretta Nano and went to the SD9VE.  I still enjoy the SD9VE, very reliable and I do like the weight of it for an EDC.   As you have described....the C100 is a great pistol, and I can put up with a few ozs more to have the complete reliability of the C100.  Next purchase is a CZ PO-1.

I carried a Beretta 92FS for years, then I found a S&W 4506 I had wanted for many years and I carried it for several years alternating between it and a much lighter S&W 1911 with scandium frame (29 oz) I wanted something lighter, smaller, with more ammo so I got a Glock 19, it was okay but just didn't feel right so I bought a CZ75B and I have carried it ever since daily for the past two years and I'm not looking back. It is heavier than the Glock 19 but the accuracy, comfort, ease of shooting makes up for the weight. Keep in mind all of the pistols I carried were all fine guns, reliable and I trusted my life to them. That being said I did sell the Glock 19 and S&W 1911, I can still put my hands on the Beretta 92FS if need be but my wife acquired/commandeered/stole it from me😄 but for CCW I chose the CZ.

Started with 3rd gen S&W's in the 5900/6900 platform and K- frame revolvers too. The 3rd gen S&W's got sold the revolvers never will. Today it's CZ's all the way. They just feel too good in the hand and are inherently more accurate as stock than anything else semi auto I've fired. Either my PCR or 75 compact are always on my hip unless I'm sparsely dressed on a hot day then one of my J-frames comes out.

I'm carrying a Springfield XDs until I can get my hands on a RAMI.

1911's for almost 30 years.

Then a Glock.  I'm an accuracy freak.  I like small groups.  Why settle for a head sized group when you can get an eye sized group?

I got an XDM.  Better than the Glock.

I got an M&P.  Not better than the XDM, but it had thumb safeties.  And reliability issues.  The other one had accuracy issues.

I got a P07.  Better accuracy than the other plastic guns.  Same or better reliability, thumb safeties, and it feels good in my hand.  Then I got a P09.  Then another P09, then another P07, then a CZ 75 Compact.  Now I'm waiting on the new 2016 P01's.

Oh, my every day carry is that first P07 in .40 S&W.

Sure do, have my P-07 on my side right now, and if it isn't there my CZ 100 is!

Many years ago my initial CCW was a Beretta 92 FS, followed by a 96D Centurion (always been a Beretta fan, nowadays second only to CZ, and occasionally I will CC my PX4D or PX4 Subbie).

Anyway, along the next couple of decades I have tried practically every other manufacturer's offerings and none of them do for me what my CZ's do (feel in hand, ergos, natural pointability, accuracy, etc.). As to the non-CZ pistols in my current collection, other than the Beretta's and my (modded) Glock 19, eventually they will probably all be gone.

Started with a Bersa 380, transitioned to a Beretta compact, and subsequently to the P01/SDP.. I do also carry a G43 when "extra small" is needed...

Currently I'm either carrying a CZ P-01 or a S&W 3913
