I've been sporting a G1 17 since the eighties but never felt comfortable with it chambered. That practice makes no sense at all. While waiting on a background check for a new over under .410 I was talking to the gun shop guy about wanting a 9mm double stack exposed hammer double / single action to replace the Glock. I mentioned my brother inlaw's CZ and he said he thought they had a used CZ. Sure enough it was a mint P07 for 359.00. Love this thing. Came with the hard shell box, one mag and manual. Upon further inspection i noticed the hammer was different than the factory version and it had a light trigger pull than my brother inlaw's P07 which led me to wonder. Turned out it had the Cajun Gun Pro Upgrade kit, a 226.00 package. The pistol can be set up as a safety or decocker. Mine is a decocker which means with a round chambered , hammer down, it's as safe to carry as a revolver. Sometimes the blind squirrel finds a nut. Two fifteen round mags to round out the package arrived at the shop last night so i officially retired my two G1s to spend their remaining days in the safe. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get away from striker fired platforms and a double / single action pistol.

As I got to CZ I was going to suggest getting. Cajun Gun Pro. Everyone that I know that has a CZ has had it done. -
I was fondling a CZ Shadow yesterday at the gun shop. Very seriously considered getting it. I too carry a G17, but the accuracy isn't exactly amazing. I would be just fine inside of 10 yards, head shot accurate at that range, but at 25 yds it's nothing to brag about. Haven't tried it yet, but I hear the Shadow is in a different world for accuracy.Comment

Years back I was starting to appreciate the Sig classic P pistols. But something happened and I drank the Glock Kool-aid and kinda went all in. I regret that. I should have just stuck with the Sigs. Yeah, they're more expensive, but sometimes you get what you pay for.Comment

I've been carrying the CZ P01 for a few years now, and I don't see myself going to anything different - unless maybe one of those Beretta PX4 Storms came my way, but probably not.
The P07 is basically the polymer version of the P01.
I got this for mine, custom sized for me. Most comfortable holster ever - I forget I have it on when I'm out an about. https://www.craftholsters.com/leathe...holster-system

I understand your concern about carrying a round in the chamber with a Glock. It's a valid one. I never wanted to mess with Glocks for that very reason. The whole Glock trigger safety seemed wonky and weak to me. I still kinda feel that way. The thing that changed my mind was having a level III duty holster. It locks the Glock in a safe "container" until you're ready to draw and fire.
I'm still more accurate with the Beretta M9, but I'm really growing fond of my Glock 45. The Glock 45 is not at precise and refined as the Beretta M9, but it's simpler, quicker and more intuitive.Comment

Yup sold my Glock in .45acp as I could not get used to their trigger. Are they good accurate reliable weapons that are ready to go into action when needed? Without question in my .02.
But being old and old school that trigger had me constantly worried. Needless worry but worried either way about even putting it in a holster. So I solved that problem and sold.Comment

I had a terrible time getting used to my Glock 45. For clarification, the Glock 45 is a 9mm pistol. It's essentially a Glock 17 lower with a Glock 19 upper. After some shooting and lots of laser simulator dry firing, I finally figured it out. Now I like it.
As I said before, the only way I'd carry it with a round in the chamber is with a level III holster. There's no other way.Comment

A 1911A1 would solve your plastic gun issues, no?Comment

Glocks are very safe...until you place your finger on the trigger, they have I believe three safeguards against AD, but once your finger is there all bets are off. I like to have some other external safety device. 1911's all have three external safeties., the safety switch, the hammer and the grip safety...and it's steel and parts are robust, I look at the internals of some of the new striker fired guns and I wonder how long they'll be good for.Comment

All that said, Ruger has teamed up with Magpul to create a Glock clone with a 1911 grip angle. Reviews I've seen have been favorable. However; for me, it goes back to a striker-fired pistol vs. hammer fired.Comment

Or until you put it in your jacket pocket or holster and get the trigger stuck on something placing it in. Then you get Glock leg as the police call it.
Possible? I guess so Fred but not just your finger anything hitting that trigger swayed me away from the Glocks.
4 safeties on the model 80 1911s. That was the Komifornia commies that wanted that extra one and Browning did not even want the palm safety the military demanded it. My Rock River and the Tisa and some others stayed with the 3 safety model 70 safety system. You can buy a kit Pogo showed us to bypass that 4th safety.Last edited by 4thIDvet; 12-18-2024, 01:06 PM.Comment

Yeah, no if you are getting 1911 get a series 70 if you can. Remember that old movie with the black cop telling the people in a classroom he was the only person in the room qualified to handle the Glock? Bang…it’s ok just shot my foot off But I’m ok.

Only person I ever knew who accidentally shot himself, it was a Glock. Glocks have all the safety functions of a double action only revolver. Pull the trigger, and it will go bang. People carried revolvers for a long time, and nobody worried about it much.Comment
