The CZ looks like a cross between a M9 and a 1911 to me. I like the look of it.

It's hard for me to fathom shooting any gun better than the one I have practiced with the most. It just makes sense to me to have one.

I get it. The cz just fits me. I say you NEED the M9 for the same reason.

Run what you brung is the right answer. That's a 1911 in my case. Millions of rounds over the years. Next up is the Remington 870. M-14's, then the M-16 and finally the Beretta.

But I love and carry Hi-Powers as well. I shoot CZ's well also. I freaking hate glocks. Odd grip angle.

A 1911 I can pick up and shoot center mass no worries. The Hi-Power as well. JWB designed it as well. Same grip angle. Same manual of arms, crappy little safety on the Hi-Power though. Not a fan of the magazine disconnect either but it is what it is.

I always tell folks, get what you shoot the best, and that you enjoy shooting. If you don't enjoy shooting it, you won't practice with it and it's useless.

I've seen more of those ultra-lightweight Smith and Wesson titanium snub noses for sale cheap with only a few rounds through them. They are simply not pleasant to shoot. No, they're brutal to shoot with carry loads. I don't even like those little suckers. 😣

CZ fits nicely, shoots nicely.

One strange one that felt like it was made for me was a Daewoo .40 s&w I looked at years ago.....

Glocks are great, lots of support with aftermarket options. Although I can’t completely disassemble, reassemble and load blindfolded like I can my H&K

I tried everything I could get my hands on for a few months and ended up going with a CZ. Like TW mentioned, it just fit the best. I assumed that me shooting the best with it was a direct correlation

True but these lightweights weren't meant to be shot a lot,they were meant to be carried a lot.I have a 642 that's had exactly 5 rounds thru it,I verified it shot center mass at 12 feet with +P ammo about 15 years ago.It's been loaded with that same ammo since but not fired.I like it because it requires no holster...…..I usually carry it in my jacket pocket or right rear hip pocket.It gives you 5 quick rounds for up close and personal business.I have seen a few of these with swollen cylinders but they saw heavy range use...…….they will just not stand up to it.But used as intended one will last multiple lifetimes.

In that context, absolutely. But you're the functional target market and can already shoot. Most of those get sold to some gal in Gander mountain that picks it up and thinks "Oh, that's super light, I like that!" and then goes out to learn how to shoot it. Then it's their only gun. 🤦

I've tossed at least a dozen of those off the firing line at NRA basic pistol classes we've taught. Give them a loaner .22lr, get them dialed in and let them go from there.

I had a 350 lb dude show up with a Kimber Ultra Carry in .45acp. Gun disappeared in that dudes mitts. I was fondling the thing as it was the first one I'd actually got to handle. His first shot was center mass, I was impressed as hell. Until his next shot and all the rest went in the mud. That thing bit the crap out of him. Flinch isn't the right word. LOL.

We put that back in it's case, gave him a Ruger MKI and he did fine after. We told him to take that back to gander mountain, get his money back and get a more user friendly gun.

Yea those airweights aren't range weapons and most have no idea what they're getting into when they purchase one.

I been looking hard at the Ultra Carry ii in 9mm...…...I've not shot one but I can't imagine it being uncontrollable in 9

I shoot my LCR often, and shoot it well. But I tend to the side of recoil junkie having also owned a Smith 460 and Ruger 480. Someday I'll buy a Smith 500, but I'm waiting for one to come to me.


The ultra carry ii is a very nice shooting carry gun. Had one for a bit.

I mean I'm thankful as hell that TW is doing well.
But can’t we just go back to hating on him yet???
(and by “we”, and don’t mean everyone on this forum, just everyone in my head...)

Y’all can hate on me all you want. I do.

No seals blown. Too tired.

Ugh. Just found the ddm4 v7 in the pro configuration but with a 16” barrel rather than 18. In addition to the geisle sg3d trigger it has the gen 2 muzzle climb mitigater rather than the a2 birdcage. They also put on a radian raptor charging handle and milslec+ cerakote.

This is my perfect balance between the pro and the regular v7 version with the charging handle and cerakote as frosting.

I wanted the trigger in the pro but didn’t want the 18” barrel (which to me makes no sense with this trigger. )

And it’s on sale cheaper than the pro and much cheaper than you could upgrade yourself.

The problem is I wanted to wait a couple months until I buy.
