help a guy decide - just 1 more handgun
« on: August 04, 2011, 12:32:57 PM »
looking for 1 more hand gun

what I have thus far is

1937 Brazilian Contract S&W Revolver 45 ACP
CZ52 Pistol 7.62x25
Bulgarian Makarov 9x18

I reload for 45 ACP and 9x18


I've got about $400 I'm looking at


Filipino 45 ACP from Bud's gun shop - plain jane Milspec 45
top of my price range hair right at 400
100th year of the 1911 AND I'm 45 this year

Police Turn in CZ75 from Robinson's Trading Post ~350
9mm - high cap wonder 9 - don't have one of these
I've hear these are typical carried a lot shot a little police
excellent cost factor can use the extra $$$ to pick up extra mags
will need to purchase 9mm dies
currently I use 9 mm brass to form makarov brass - potential for reloading issues

CZ82 Pistol 9 x 18 12 round
a higher cap for a round I already reload for lowest price
polyagonal barrel - said to be no go for cast bullets - but seems a lot of folks do it with with no issues



I'm really leaning towards the 45

I have a Rock Island 1911 (single stack ) no problems in 4 years They make a double stack as well that sells for around $425 and takes Para magazines.
On the other hand, CZ is also a reputable company, while I don't have any experience with them you can convert an 82 into a .380 CZ83 simply by changing barrels and mags.

You can't go wrong with either the 45 or the CZ75. I think for ease of reloading issues I'd go 1911.

While the CZ 75 is supposed to be a nice pistol,it is the one I would drop from the list since you are already reloading for the other 2 calibers and it is way to easy to mix 9X18 and 9X19.

Everyone should get a .45 for their 45th birthday. And when would be better than this year?  ;)

Go for it! You can't call yourself a man if you don't have a 1911.  ;)  :P

Have to agree.  Get a 1911.

Then you can get a Glock next time after your manhood issues are taken care of.   ;D ;D ;D

If you want something for CCW get the CZ 82 due to size and weight you are more likely to have it when you need it.
If you just want a new range gun get the 1911.
