CZ 75 or Browning Hi Power

[TiP99]

bi tone cz 75 9mm or a 9mm Hi power practical??

 

[Sir William]

I have 1911s, other 9MMs and Walthers. They are all good range pieces and accurate. If I could carry 61 rounds of +P 124 gr Speer GDHP in as comfortable a platform, I would. I bet my life on my BHP. I prefer 3 line combat sights myself. I do like the ambi safety and I have not removed the magazine safety. My BHP is accurate, shoots when I need it and I rely on it. I did add Pachmayr Signature Series grips. I like mine.

There's not a selection for both! In that case, I'll go with the HP.....

 

[CypherNinja]

My Stainless CZ-75 has been flawless so far.

I love both, but I vote CZ since thats what I've got.

 

[Hal]

I have - -

Both!!!!

The real question (IMNSHO) should be which one you get first.

FWIW - I got the HP first.

I voted for the Hi Power

 

[p99guy]

I have had both, I still have the Hi Power because I have had it modified not to bite the heck out of me.

Both are great guns, but if you have big hands the CZ will not chew up the web of your hand..has an adequite grip tang that prevents this....the HP has a short tang...both styles of the normal hammer draws blood on me after a half a box....the C&S no bite hammer cures it for the most part. And the factory hammer on the SFS model Hi Power is great for big hands.
Its just a consideration....either will do a good job for you.

Hey, could one of you guys with both post pics of them side by side?
Can you fit a CZ-75 in an HP holster?
I recently bought a CZ-75. I couldn't even find any HP Practicals in the area.
Thanks

choice

I bet the hardcore traditionalists go for the HP and they would surely vote for a 1911 over some modern .45 design too. The HP is a slimmer trimmer gun but the CZ has a very good feel and are supposed to be very accurate from the box. I would like someone to compare accuracy of the two, as I cannot recall myself comparing them. Nothing wrong with either. But people buy a HP and then spend alot of time and money getting a better trigger pull.

Right now, I say the Hi-Power. I have both. With FN's being under $500, I would go that way. A few years ago when Hi-Powers didn't exist below $650 in my neck of the world, I would say CZ.

I give the HP the nod, but not as vehemently when the CZ is $400 and the HP is $650~$700.

If CCW were the main use, the HP is definately smaller.

Two czs for the price of one HP

You can almost get about two CZ-75Bs for the price of one Hi_power. If you think that a HPower is twice the gun of a CZ, then the Hpower is worth it.

Stephen Camp did a superb comparison of the two pistols : http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/CZ-75%20or%20BHP.htm

BHP is lighter, more ergonomic, easier to rack slide, fit and finsihed better.

CZ is chaeper, has one extra mode of firing (if you like crunchentickers, I havent gotten used to them since 39As)

CZ get s the loyalty it gets becasue its a CHEAP nice pistol, not becasue its better

Easier to rack the slide after you replace the garage door spring they use as a mainspring these days...

 

[Wildalaska]

Develop some hand stregnth young fella

[GunsnRovers]

That requires effort. I just swap the 32lb spring for 28lb...

Once you lead a life of leisure, there's no going back.

Just cock the hammer then rack the slide on a BHP. They are great 9MM's. I have three CZ's also. THe CZ-75B is rather large and heavy for a 9MM, but a great service pistol. I prefer my compact PCR overall, which I find very similar to the BHP in grip feel.

 

[npcolin]

If use for defense/carry, I will go for the CZ 75 since it is DA. Go for the Hi-Power if it is for plinking/competition. I own a CZ-75B and I am planning to get a Hi-Power later on.

 

[chunk]

yes

 

[TiP99]

This gun will be for purely plinking untill my stat allows concealed carry. Then ill carry my p99.

The votes are still looking pretty close.

I had the opportunity to fire a HP that was missing the rear sight, I just imagined where it was approximately and had at it, filled a four inch hole at 9 meters. Cannot go wrong with that one.
