I own many revolvers and a 1911. Oddly, I've never acquired a 9mm semi and I've only recently developed an interest in having one. I've fired all kinds of polymer and striker fired guns (Glock, Ruger SR9, Smith & Wesson M & P, Springfield XD, Sig) and, although, some of them performed well -- for me the SR9 did a particularly good job -- none of them really caught my fancy.
What really interests me are all steel guns with more traditional firing systems. I've dry fired the Beretta 92FS and it is an extremely comfortable gun to grip with a nice single action trigger. The double action trigger was a bit stiff. I've never handled a CZ 75B but I've heard good things about it.
So, what are your opinions? Between the Beretta and the CZ which do you prefer and why? Also, I've heard that the CZ comes in an all-single action option. Any of you own one of them? How is it? Does it replicate the Browning Hi-Power or is it altogether different?
Btw, for those of you who might be tempted to recommend a 9mm 1911, my budget simply won't allow that. I envision spending no more than about $700, tops.
Thanks.
