I'm obviously a huge Glock fan. It's what my wife and I carry on a daily basis.
BUT. I'm really wanting a all metal gun in 9mm. I'm looking at something fun to shoot on the range and something to carry every once in a while to mix it up. Ive been looking at the CZ for years now and they reliability is outstanding. However the 1911 is as American as apple pie. I want to stick with 9mm. All my other guns are 9mm and I don't want to have to stock up on another more expensive round. I know 9mm isn't a 45acp, bla bla bla, but it's better than a stick.
Which gun is going to be more reliable? Fun to shoot? And more bang for my buck?
I'm not a huge fan of manual safeties. Can I carry both clocked and NOT locked? I know the CZ has a firing pin block. So the trigger must be pulled in order to release the block. What about a 1911? It has a beaver tail safety. So why do you need 3 safeties on 1 gun? (Manual, beaver tail, the safety between your ears).
