Why spend $283 when you could get a Hi-Point for $180? Holster arrived Sat, nice fit and tucks nicely iwb. Few hundred more rounds with some defense rounds in the mix and it will go into the rotation.

100 more rounds yesterday afternoon. Still digging it. Will probably share time with my 365 as EDC once I have a few more rounds through it.

So a quick 50 after I got home and I have to say.... this thing is sweet. Trigger feels lighter than they claim, handles like a dream. Can't wait to get a few more rounds through it and then start carrying it. Holster is already on the way

Had to go back to work

Reviving this old thread.... since I brought one home today. I have been eyeing them all this time and got an offer I couldn't pass on so....

You decide to get rid of one of those DW I know a guy who might be interested ...

Check out the Glock 48, I think you will like it. I'm a big P365 fan but if you don't like a 43 you won't like it either. I hate short, chunky guns (G26 would be an example) so for me a subcompact has to be single stack. Just handled a SA EMP4 and man it was oh so sweet!

Forgot to add that I don't mess with the reduced TRS unless I'm going full Pro package. FWIW - I have a fully Pro packaged SP-01 Tactical that has a SA pull of 2 lbs with the 11.5# spring and DA is under 5#. Smooth as freaking butter.

Here's what I would recommend (and actually do as a minimum on all my CZs) - Ultra Lite kit from Cajun Gun works. You should always replace the firing pin retaining pin as they will chew up and can cause issues. If you are going to do that you might as well change the firing pin and firing pin spring. This will also let you run the 11.5# hammer spring.

The stock rubber grips are fantastic... the hard plastic ones are terrible. The aluminum ones are great, a bit pricey as you'll spend 25% of the price of the gun to get a pair Best grips for the money are LOK, choose the style based off your personal preference as far as texture goes. If you like the feel of the stock grips then go with the palm swell version. If you want as thin as possible go with the non-palm swell Hakan Pek grips are works of art, but he no longer makes them and they look better than they provide grip (still enough to function but not great for a long range day in the heat, plus you wouldn't want to ding them they look so good!) While you have the grips off change out the hammer spring to lower the DA/SA pull, Cajun Gun works is usually how I order from. It's a 2 minute job and makes a big difference. Pictures are a matte 75B with Hakan grips and a railed 75 compact with LOK bogies in back/white

I'm a big CZ fan, but I'm also a big fan of "value" or getting the most for my dollar spent. That being said I'd go with the CZ, if nothing else just for the sheer amount of aftermarket support. Some items interchange, but a lot don't. You should be able to find a 75B for around $450, and that's a ton of gun for the money. All of course is just my opinion, which is held in high regard... by me.

My local shop has it on the shelf well under MSRP. I've only held it, not fired.

If I had the discretionary income at the moment, probably so. That being said I don't see it being a "better" option than a Sig P365, so it's really like making the choice between a $800 1911 versus a $1800 one. If you see the value in the all metal construction, fit and finish and overall feel then it may be worth it to you. A quality piece for sure but from a purely "value for function" perspective it's overpriced.

Went to the LGS Friday and he had one of the new Kimber EVO SP in. Overall a very nice looking and feeling little pistol, worth the $$$? Maybe....

I think it was $399, might have been $349. I didn't pay much attention after holding it.

Held one in the shop a few days ago. Not impressed. Might be a good option for those that don't/can't spend more to get something that feels a little better.

Held both at my local shop today, the G43X is not for me but man I really liked the 48, and I'm not Glock fan. I may break down and get one of these, but would prefer all black. $449 for either at my local shop

Thanks for the detailed report!

oh man that looks good. Talked to my LGS and he wasn't sure if he was going to get one or not. Lots of people wanting to hold one (me included) but nobody committed to buying. He usually doesn't carry a lot of higher end stuff

It does not look like that, it's not recessed back

Looked like a standard barrel to me, but then again I'm no Beretta expert. (or any expert really)

I'll check when I get home and let you know

Rather than store mine away in a safe I bought a stand and have it on display in the living room. My wife may or may not be happy about this.....

I imagine the gun is the one getting the short end of the stick when it comes to the accuracy equation (I know this is true when I'm behind the trigger)
