kitestir Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Titla says it all. I tend to shoot heavier guns a bit better. I do not tend to shoot glocks etc that great and am looking for something that is relatively heavy(OK maybe a brick the way I shoot ). Looking for something that parts are easy to come by, mags are not real expensive etc etc etc. Any suggestions? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 the couple that I can think of.. SIG226SST and the SIG X-Five allaround. the CZ SP01 is another all steel full dustcover production gun.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Run n Gun Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I shoot a S&W 5906. It's within 2oz of a 1911(38 vs 40oz) with a very similar grip angle. The guns (used) and mags are dirt cheap, usually <$300 and they run like a sewing machine. Other than its low marks on the "cool factor" chart, what's not to like?

TMC Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) My Para 18-9 LDA is 37.7oz withoug a mag, 40.8 with and empty one in. A Bomar rear would add another 1 oz. but mine just has the fixed sights. Edited September 16, 2006 by TMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 The sP-01 is about 42 oz with an empty mag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_pinto Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 +1 on the SP01 with Angus or Matt's upgrades. It dominates production for a reason. Soft and accurate but more importantly cheap mags and super reliable.. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy a regular SP-01 and send it out for "upgrades". I think that's still legal for you Ca. shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunbomb, I am also a PRK resident and routinely check the CA DOJ website. The SP-01 is approved for sale in California into 2007. cut and pasted from the CA DOJ website: CZ 75 SP-01 / Steel, poly mag cap Pistol 4 3/8" 9mm 1/31/2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cking Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 The heavyest is H&K USP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_pinto Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I think I might wait for the SP01, if I lived in that "country". It is well worth the wait, if you can. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eager Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 CZs are heavy (all steel) but also have a low center of gravity which helps too, and have good ergonomics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Mink Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 The heavyest is H&K USP According to H&K's website, USP weighs 1.65lb. According to CZ's website, SP-01 weighs 2.6 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkushner1 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) STI Edge, Trojan, Custom .40 (non PD), S&W 5906, G-35, HK Expert, Para LDA 9mm x2, Para P-16 40, New worked Tanfo Stock Elite, Tanfo Long Slide .40, so on, so forth - everday I pick all these up polish em up with a rag and put them back, for three years I went right to my tuned 85 Combats, Now it my SP-01, Tuned and tweaked (second being built right now). I watched three Glocks break over the last three club matches, when reliable there too light, hate it. One had the Mag release shatter midway thru El Pres. I can shoot what I want, I been there - its CZ without nothing coming close. Our Ergos are better than any, our accuracy cant be matched, our reliability is unquestionable, yeah a little heavy for carry, but my Kahr does me just fine there. In 2-3 more years also take look at Ltd, the Tac Sport is catching on - I have twins that will run with any STI Custom shop product. CZ Period. I may buy a Korth SA/DA so I can say I paid alot, but not on a CZ, I'd pay three times what I paid, to have the priviledge to shoot the best DA action gun ever. Hey Jeff Cooper doesnt lie - he said that the best DA pistol in the world is the CZ 75 - period. Weight wise, the Stainless, non tac-rail Sig 226 is the only one that come close if you can learn that trigger.

Rojo Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 baby eagle is a good alternative to the cz, but holsters and accessories are few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
