Which CZ model is closest in size to the Sig P229?
« on: November 02, 2016, 11:31:04 PM »
Hello,
I'm a "new-guy" to this forum and to CZ pistols in general. I recognize that this question is rather ham-handed, but I hope you will indulge me anyway.
I've bought and shot several dozen handguns in my life, but I realized early on that I was most comfortable with Sig P229's.  They seem to fit my hand best, and I shoot them quite naturally.
On the advice of many, I've decided to get a CZ to try out at the range.  Oddly, I've never tried a CZ in my life. Because I always end up going back to my P229's, I'd like to get a CZ that is most like it in size, feel etc. 
I could (and have) compared dimensions from their websites, but I'd like to hear from experts who have experience handling them. In your opinions, what CZ is most like the Sig P229 in size.  It must be in 9mm.  I prefer metal guns, but I'm not adverse to getting a polymer.
Thanking you all in advance for tolerating my odd first post.

Having had both, I'd say the P-01 is closest to the P229.  The P-01 fits my hand like no other pistol. They are both compacts, DA/SA, and accurate. Not far apart in weight, either.  The Sig has much better sights but that's nothing that can't be fixed.

Welcome!

P01. I have both. I like the P01 better. You won't find a CZ that 'feels' like a sig when it is shot. The CZ is better IMHO because it has a lower bore axis and therefore is more controllable. YMMV

- You can only fight the way you practice.
- If you do not control the enemy, the enemy will control you.

Thank you Meechy and rhart,
It seems that the P-01 is the early consensus.

You're welcome, Butchie.  If you're not partial to the rail, there's the PCR, which otherwise has the same stats.

P-01 is close.  However, I think the P-07 is slightly more comparable to my P229 Legion. 

Although you can't go wrong with the P-01 which is one of my favorite pistols.

Agree that it is the P 01.  I have a 228 that is in the safe increasing in value.  I shoot the CZs.

The P01 and 229 are close enough in size that my P01 is a perfect fit in a Galco Cop holster made for the 229...

Cheers

Everyone is correct on all accounts. I have a P229 which and a CZ 75D compact, which is really a P-01.  The CZ feels better in my hand then my SigP229 and they both are accurate but I give the edge to the CZ a little. Even more so once I get it sorted out with some CGW parts.

I LOVE my sigs but I honestly shoot my CZ's better.

Not my pic, but you can see how close they are within size.

Since I have a Sig M11-A1, which is the same as the P228 and now P229.  My 75 D compact PCR is the same size as the P229 and uses the same holsters even the formed ones from Galco Miami Vice model. 

Difference between the P01 and D compact PCR, the frame on the P01 extends to the end of the slide with a rail and the PCR is a little lighter.  Like the P229, both of the CZ's are Decocker models.   

The P01 will probably be easier to find.   Once the PCR is put on the market.  They disappear like water dropped on a sidewalk during a 120 degree day.

Great info from all of you.
I'm much obliged.
goforbroke, that's a perfect photo.  I was searching for something like that, but I couldn't find anything.

Yeah of course no problem.

I will say the fit & finish on (metal framed)Sigs is better then CZ's IMHO. This doesn't apply to the higher end CZ's though.
