Should I sell my CZ 75b for a Glock 17?

Glock is the only handgun that I sold within a month of purchasing.

I eventually sold off my cz75b as well, but I had it for years and still think highly of it.

You sound like me.

The Glock lasted less than a month!

I eventually sold off my CZ75 as well, in order to get an CZ85 Combat.

Keep the Satin Nickel CZ 75B. One of the best finish in the CZ line. I heard CZ has discontinued this Satin Nickel finish recently. Whatever you see in the market will be the last of this run. I have a CZ 85C in this finish and not a sign of scratch in the last 2 years. Glock is one of the pioneers in Polymer Framed pistols. Trigger needs some work so as a CZ. The only advantage of any polymer framed pistol is the upkeep. Not much metal that will likely attract rust even if you keep it for a while without cleaning after multiple range trips. Slide is I believe "Nitron" treated (correct me if I am wrong). Because of the weight, it takes a while before you get accustomed to the muzzle flip. There is nothing wrong with GLOCK, and I am no GLOCK hater. Known shooters uses Glock. KC Eusebio, Tori Nonaka and they have no problem switching from steel Hi-cap pistols. Given the opportunity of owning a Glock, I would probably pick either a Glock 34/35.

My suggestion, agreeing with the rest here, Keep your CZ. Wait and save enough money to buy a Glock. You just missed a supporting dealer who just recently offered G17 below cost!


Safe shooting!
 
It's too bad glock spends all their money on marketing instead of fixing their crappy trigger.

I help shooter nights locally and I must have converted 50 people from glock to cz. It is funny they always come in and see the glock in the cabinet and hey always say "I saw that on tv....." Or "police use this one". I let them shoot 10 rounds, they come back and say I can't hit nothing because recoil. Then I give them the cz and the rest is history!!

Youse guys sound like me! I got a CZ85 combat to replace the CZ75b, but kept them both! And I shot a glock before I bought anything so I never made the mistake of buying one

So a novice shooter with zero experience somehow has enough knowledge to discredit a glock? And you obviously lack the knowledge as you agree with them. If you complain about the glock trigger its because you haven't a clue what you're doing. Try taking up the slack and working the reset. Propper finger placement, grip and recoil managment are also needed, but you and the masses with zero training and limited to zero experience already know that right?

Dislike a gun for any reason you wish as long as its personal opinion. Bashing the design with supporting facts only shows your lack of knowledge.

Because 10 rounds is all it takes for someone to make up their mind. Come on man, P30 LEM is arguably the least forgiving and embarrasses poor fundamentals the most, are you trying to tell me it's a bad pistol?
 
For all you contemplating CZ or anything of the line, do yourself a favor and try a Grand Power. You won't look back, I can't speak highly enough of them, and I was a pretty die-hard CZ fan for quite a while. That being said, I still consider CZ a damn fine gun.

As far as the glock. Well its reliable. Did I mention reliable? I think that's about its greatest selling point. With the flood of quality polymer striker fired pistols out there I don't see what appeal is left other than past fame.

Well actually I have both pistols and I can handle them both quite well. Thank you. I guess the supporting facts I use is my experience with both. New shooters find it flippy and the cz is a more stable platform. Maybe you should try and help a guys question out versus protecting your Tupperware ego or glock.. "Proper" finger placement

Thanks for the heads up champ. When you understand what I'm talking about and can argue otherwise with facts not observations of novice shooters who know absolutely nothing, then you might have something productive to say.

To the op, buy or sell whatever you want. By your own admission you aren't happy with what you have and like to change it up, so go nuts.

Just my opinion here...

I have both a pre-B CZ-75 and Glock 17. The Glock is fun, and the "safe-action" trigger removes a step when I'm "combat" shooting, but I am far more accurate with the CZ. This is after literally 1000s of rounds through both. IMHO all-steel guns are inherently more controllable.

If I had to carry it all day like I did in previous jobs, I would opt for the Glock as the few ounces make a difference when it's on your hip all day... If I'm recreationally shooting and can only have one or the other I would pick my CZ every time.
 
Both are very good guns but i prefer my glocks . I own glocks,sigs,berettas,cz,kimbers and can shoot them all better than most, the main thing is proper training and range time. To base the glock bash off a new shooter that has no training , or camparing polymer to steel is a totally different ballgame. To say that a glock has more muzzle flip than a steel gun of any kind is complete bs and shows me you dont know how to control the firearm you own. I have a glock 20 with some boarderline max loads that i dont find to be anything major yet my double taps at 20 yards touch ... I dont know guess its just luck because i shoot a glock lol and cant be the 30-50,000 rounds a year i shoot. The reason i really like my glock is the designe and reliability. I am sure most of us would never find out the true reliability of either a glock or a cz because the range is a pretty clean zone. In the end its your choice but why dont you just have both?

Of course it'll change from gun to gun regardless of how solid your fundamentals are. Shooting a target with a Glock compared to a CZ is a different feeling. If you learned your fundamentals with a CZ, and you switched to a Glock... you're probably going to suck with the Glock (at least at first, until you get some practice). Glocks are more challenging to shoot because of the lighter weight, not to mention some people will prefer and shoot better with a different grip. Preference is a factor.

Not from what I have seen. I recently shot a sig in over a year. Along with a cz75 in almost a year. My grouping with my P30L LEM is only marginally better (and I have 5000 rounds through it), than either of the other two. And with my da/sa usp I get almost identical groupings as I do with the P30, I have tried a glock with xs sights, and the stock #### u dot sights, guess what? Yup the shooting pattern is very similar to the rest. If you apply the correct fundamentals you will get solid results with any handgun. The basics of running pretty much any handgun is the same. Your groups should be near identical with most handguns. Now what you like is a different story. The sig feels like a 2x4 in my hand. But feel is not an excuse for poor performance.
