I appreciate a consistent pull too, and therefore 1911's and Glocks are my favorites. My runner up would be a worked over BHP...................... and I predict YOURS will be a CZ75 carried condition one. Ding, Ding, Ding! I do really enjoy the CZs. If forced to carry a traditional DA/SA, I think the CZ would be hard to beat, but the ability to carry the CZ 75 cocked and locked makes it a standout favorite. Plus I have played with some highly tuned CZs that had a DA that was phenomenal. Quite frankly I am surprised that they are not more popular. They fit almost everyone's hands. While the DA trigger pull can be long for those with short fingers, the ability to reconfigure with short triggers takes care of that issue quite nicely.

I have several of the CZ pattern pistols and I do like them a lot.
As I like the 1911/2011 a lot.
But for all things I would have to stick with Glock...

The CZ was pretty much a myth for a long time. Then when you finally could get one, other pistols had become more established with the military and police and at the same time, the world was transitioning to Glock-like pistols. The police gun was the 5906, et al and the Beretta was the military's choice. Simply no room for the CZ. Then there was Tanfoglio, the Italian manufacturer and sporadic quality issues.

I like to think of them as an improved hi power. they just point well.

A Sig P226 is my all time favorite carry gun.
Recently bought a Glock 43 for summer carry, and fell in love with it. I finally mastered being able to "hit" DA with this little gun.
Am now thinking a Glock 17 would make a good second or backup carry gun.

Right now it is Glock 43 with CTC Laserguard. I also carry a S&W MP340 loaded with Reminton Gold JHP. The Rem is the nicest.357 to shoot in a small revolver.

If I wasn't carrying an M&P Shield to be extra sneaky, I'd be carrying my Sig 228. I shoot the Sig DA/SA pretty well but it's been tuned up and the way Sig's point make up any difference.
And I shoot DAO, SA, DA/SA and the striker fired pistols enough to see that the DA/SA isn't near as much of a problem as I first thought.
I do shoot a 1911 a tad easier but I won't carry one cocked and locked.

I normally carry a G19 or a 1911, second choice would be BHP, Sig 228, or Springfield XD.

I would rather carry a revolver. But I do have SIG P6. It was a Police trade in so the blue already has holster wear and I like that for concealed carry. I think the 625-3 is the best because the brass goes wherever you go. whelennut
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

I like my old LAPD Beretta 92, but it's kinda big. It was a great uniformed duty pistol. For concealed/all around use, I'll take a slightly tricked-out Browning. The one below, a MK III forged-frame, will do. Bob The MK III forged-frame 9mm is my "second favorite".

While the DA trigger pull can be long for those with short fingers, the ability to reconfigure with short triggers takes care of that issue quite nicely. The first CZ-75 I ever shot was love at first sight. It was a first year "short rail" CZ that was literally smuggled into the US, and I was all excited to shoot the "commie-contraband" pistol. The fit and finish was first rate, function was of course perfect (even though the "short rail" CZ's had some issues), and accuracy was in the 2.5" range at 25 yards; overall, a very nice pistol. But the DA pull was absolutely amazing. It was around 9 pounds and buttery smooth. I don't know if it had had work done to it or if all the first year CZ75's were that smooth, but it was simply amazing. I really fell in love with that pistol, but since this was 1984, I just couldn't have one. So when Springfield brought in Solothurn made CZ75 copies, I bought two. They were beautiful, but they had horrible parts breakage problems. To this day, I really have the hots for a CZ75 Short Rail; one day I'll scratch that itch.

My favorite to carry varies. Consequently, my second choice varies.
Depending on weather and activity I have a USPc with a P7 as my second choice. Other situations, I flip those choices.

My second fave would be my former first fave...my old SIG 220. Dead nuts reliable with evenrything, accurate and superb trigger (I put a srt kit in it, as well). I just fell in love with my newer S&W 1911SC Commander and having been carrying that non-stop.
Another close second choice would be my SR9c. Reliable and very easy to shoot accurately. Nice and compact with the ten rd mag inserted and two 17'ers riding shotgun...

If I couldn't carry a Glock, it would be an M&P 9 or some sort of XD. Or possibly one of the 22x 9mm Sigs.
Guns I would NOT choose for a primary carry gun: Any compact single stack P7 Any Kahr Any S&W semi-auto Any Keltec, Taurus, etc Any revolver
