Hi everyone! I'm new here (obviously ), but I figured I'd add my totally unqualified opinion on this one. After years of just punching paper once in a while, I finally shot a few matches last year. Last Spring I picked up a CZ 75 SA (9mm), but really can't remember why, and then shot in an IDPA-like match. I had a lot of fun , and then a buddy talked me into getting a Springfield XD. I bought the XD-9 Tactical, and then shot in another IDPA-like match and also shot in a steel match. The XD was very nice shooting, but it had a weird habit of not locking the slide back after the last round fired , and it felt sort of top heavy (unbalanced) during recoil. I sold the XD and went back to the CZ (and also bought a CZ 75 B and a P-01), although I haven't had time to shoot a match since that steel match last year . Anyway, I really don't know much about USPSA matches, but I think the CZs are great guns; well worth the money for what you get in return. Cheers!
