Thread: How many people CCW here?

So I haven't had the compact, but I carried the 85 (basically an ambidextrous 75) daily for 15 years until 2 years ago, when I replaced it with a 75 sp01 (also called cz 75 shadow). It's my daily carry and my ipsc standard division competition gun (same applies to the 85).I also had a friend who carried the 75 compact for a few years. All I can say about the 75s is that they're real workhorses.I carried my 85 in the service and while on reserve duty, and it delivered like the US post: through mud and rain and sleet and sand. Mainly mud and sand. The newer shadow is slightly more sensitive, (no clumps in my mud please), but somehow managed to keep the same grip and feel, only give better accuracy and speed. And truth be told I'm doing a lot less time in the mud these days. I might be getting a bit long in the tooth for that... I haven't fired the walther nearly enough to form a good comparison, but fwiw I'll give the cz´s a big thumbs up.

Thanks for the info. I grew up shooting my dads old EAA Witness (CZ 75 clone) and last time I was home got to shoot around with it again. I've already got a sub compact and am looking for something a little bigger that is still easily concealable. I'm just torn between the cz 75 compact and the cz75 D PCR compact. Basically the alloy with decocker vs steel with safety.

Yea well, call me old fashioned, but as you might have guessed I like my steel guns.it's heavier but I don't like the balance of plastic guns. Or the way the balance changes as you magazine empties. I've yet to find a plastic gun I really like, but that's just me. I also prefer single action to double. I've been practicing for so many years that I feel confident enough with the unholster-rack the slide-aim-trigger work routine in day to day carry, and in higher intensity situations I'd rather go cocked and locked anyway.a good holster will keep your safety where is supposed to be. As long as you always know your weapon state you're fine.

I prefer a Bond 45/410 now.
