I recently posted this message but didn't get may responses, so I thought I might try again making it a poll this time. My original post said that I was interested in the Cz-75 and the Glock 17.
Here's the original post: "I live in Maryland. Next year, a handgun must have an internal lock in order to be sold here, so both of these guns will be gone. I know glock is suppose to have internal locks at some point, but my local shop says that glock is fed up with Maryland's gun laws and that they make enough sales elsewhere that they may just dump Maryland (he's angry about this because he's an authorized dealer and sells lots for them). I was planning on getting both of these fine weapons, but recent financial difficulties must limit my choice to one. So it's one or the other (until I move out of this Liberal fiasco). I have saved up enought to afford the Glock, and I know that the CZ is cheaper. I plan on using this particular gun as a regular shooting range gun and hopefully in some local idpa. Let me say here, I have shot both and both guns have positive features and shot well for me. My main concern is that the gun holds up well after alot of shooting (aka have a long service life) and that it's easy to get it fixed when and if it should fail. Both seem to sell themselves on these 2 points, but are there any opinions on which is actually better and which might better suit my needs? Thanks in advance. "
