As I'm sitting here writing this I'm laughing to myself cause just about every intelligent thing that I have done, or something that has worked out really well has followed this same pattern. I'm sure there are a bunch of you that can relate. You start out with an idea of what you want.... spend time looking into it... find it, be totally set on it, and then get something completely different.
That is exactly what i did. This was going to be my first semi so I was looking for something very versatile. Caliber was not a concern since I was going to opt for the best... a .45 of course. I had a couple things in mind, but the final three came down to a milspec springfield, a kz-45 and a sig 220. I mulled it over and while I could afford any one of the three, I decided Id rather shoot my gun alot rather then look at it on the shelf. That ruled out the KZ. I also wanted something that was stone cold reliable, and since that is specifically Sig's department, I thought I had a winner.
The only thing that I didnt like about the Sig was its aluminum frame and its weight, or lack there of. I figured that getting the stainless version would solve that, but the p220ss is 800 plus change were i am.
To make a long story short, during this whole process.. everytime I would go into the local shop looking for my new gun.. I would always stop and look at this really nice satin nickle CZ that was in the case. It was all steel and heavy, but nicely balanced. It had similar ergonomics to a 1911 which i like. The trigger wasnt plastic and had a nice pull, and it really fit my hand well. I picked it up for the first time last week and after toying with it for a only a minute or too I said screw it and told the guy I'd take it. For 400 bucks it was a steal in my mind. The only downside was the caliber. Even though I wanted a 45 I figured that since I do have access to a whole bunch already I could always quell the bug when it bites. Plus 9 is cheaper, which is good since im a starving student. So in 9 more days (uh huh.. kalifornia) I'll be the happy owner of a shiny new satin nickle CZ-75B
