Buying a new handgun

[Tinman]

I am in the mood to purchase a new handgun and I am not sure what to get. I currently have fairly large collection. What do you all think of a CZ 75 SP 01? Any other suggestions?

Hard to suggest something without knowing what you already have. 1911?

I missed the chance to buy CZ 75s really cheap in Germany. I was not a fan of the 9mm so I didn't take a look at them, stupid on my part. I do own a couple of CZ copies i.e. EAA witnesses in 38 super. The CZ75 is a solid pistol.

Any make you like better than others? Or maybe a caliber your thinking of? I can tell you I'm lusting for a full size Sig Legion in 357 sig.

My take on the SP-01 from the handgun pictures thread to the same question.

Well, I'm a huge fan of CZ in general. There are two of them in the pictures I put up here. In post #8 that's a 75 SP-01 ( 9mm, man. safety version) and in post #15 that a CZ-97 (.45 acp).

The SP-01 is the only firearm I've ever liked so much that I was wiling to spend my very limited funds on two of the same model. It's my favorite all around stock 9mm pistol (with the exceptions being high end comp. guns that I could never afford), and I have fired a great many models..heh.
The above pictured one is stock , the one I sometimes carry (but it's pretty big and heavy for that). The other one, not pictured, was bought so I could convert it to SAO with the CZ custom flat trigger and comp hammer. In that configuration it is amazing.

I have a CZ 75 SP01 Shadow Target from CZ Custom. They take the SP01 and tune it and add a short reset trigger. It is awesomely accurate and reliable. A friend has the SP01, untuned (not from CZ Custom) and loves it too. My other friend got tired of the issues he was having with is M&P 9, and he also bought one. I use it for USPSA, and it has eliminated the "I need a better gun to be a better shooter" syndrome - I know it's all on me now to get better. I would buy again in a heartbeat.

Buy it!! I want one too! Even though I kinda switched to striker fired.

I do have a Kimber CDPII and a Sig P220 Super Match. I have also been thinking of a 1911 in a 4" barrel. I have 4 9mm's including 2 beretta, a HK VP 9 and a Walther PPS/m2. Not interested in a .40 or 357 Sig.
