Hey everyone!
I've been following this website for about 3 or 4 months now and finally registered...
I'm turning 21 in about 6 months, I live in Washington state, and because of my preference of pistol (full size, steel, exposed hammer, single action)and my relitively small size, I've decided that when I am of age, I will be carrying openly (while having a cpl).
As you can tell by the title, I'm having a little trouble deciding which would be better for me while open carrying, the CZ 75B (da/sa or sa only) or a Berreta M9.
I prefer and feel more comfortable with the CZ hands down....It is cheaper, the sights can be changed,the trigger isa good bitnicer in both sa and da, it fits my hand just ever so slightly better, and probably the biggest factor, I can carry it cocked and locked...
The M9 feels just fine in my hand and I don't mind the price either, but having to fire the first shot in that extremely long, heavy DA mode just isn't at all appealing...
So it sounds like a pretty easy decision so far right? Well, here is where I start going back and forth... I can't seem tofindany reputable retention holsters for the CZ and being as I plan to open carry, something like a SERPA seems pretty important to me. The Berreta of course, has a ton of holsters available...
Should I get the CZ and not worry so much about active retention or should I get the M9 and learn to deal with the ginormous DA pull?
What's a guy to do???
ps I moved this thread here after not getting any replys on the handgun page...
