CZ 75BD vs Sig 226?

Clobber, did you make up your mind yet? Judging by the opinions looks like it comes down to personal prefernce. Don't think one has any real advantages over the other, other than personal pref. Both are great guns, I prefer the Sig, for no real reason other than fit

Maby Im silly, but basic black just doesn't cut it for me anymore!

I do realize you can get many stainless Sigs, but for about double what I paid for my CZ!

And common this is ###y!

Now come on. Tell me you don't want to have ### with that right now. That is a beautiful holster, though.

The OP did ask for a comparison. Calling a pistol ugly hardly seems to be helpful.
:rolleyes: However, if you think that kind of discussion is warranted perhaps you should start a new thread.

Wood grips might help, but I paid $700 to my door BNIB!

You?

That's the ONE thing I would change, thinking about a Nills walnut set, if I could only find logoed (sp?) ones!

As for price... Let's just say significantly more and leave it at that. But what's money, in the grand scheme of things, really? You should see the looks it gets at the range! Hehehe! I can pick out the SIG afficionados by the way they look at it...
 
I played with a whole whack load of pistols before getting the Sig and I love the thing to pieces but does it matter? At the end of the day, after getting the Sig you'll be right back looking for another pistol. I'm on my second Glock and looking at another Sig already.
So really, what you should consider is which one do I want to play with now because you will eventually buy the other one :D
 
ACM, is that a factory nickle job? a lot of those early models were done later, now you just need a P228 and you are set. Nice rig, and yes I would take that old one over a new CZ anyday and for double the money. Where did you get the hex screws for the grips? I need some?

hex screws can be purchased from hoguestore.com - they ship to Canada as well

"Factory"? - yes. Done by a different company? - Yes. If you like, we can discuss this little detail.

Who's to say I haven't picked up a 228? ;) What I REALLY need is a 220 in .38 Super and a HK P9s. Then my plan to take over the world will be set in motion. Mwahahahaha! Oops. I've said too much.

Oh, and as for the screws, you CAN find them in this country, occasionally, but you should be careful. Hogue used to make screws that were harder than the frame material - so if you overtightened the screws, you stripped the frame, not the fastener. Not pleasant. IIRC, the new ones (softer ones) are packaged with a blue tag. Or, just order directly from Hogue. I've had a few chats w/Ken, and he's pretty understanding about our troubles getting fun stuff here.
 
I'm sorry to resurrect this, but if the OP is still interested: my P226 E2 has seen 400 rounds so far, without a single malfunction. All reloads, I haven't even tried factory loads. I even made a new load for it. ;)

In my hands, it is as accurate as the Shadow. The trigger is better. The sight picture takes longer to obtain - Shadow's FO sight jumps at you, P226's night sight doesn't.

The only embarrassing thing that happend had to do with Sig's decocker. I was aware of it, but right after shooting my Shadow and GP6-C, I tried to decock it the same way - i.e. holding the hammer while pressing the trigger. :redface: The gun fired, and the slide did a number on my thumb... The worst part was trying to hide the bleeding from everyone else on the range. :rolleyes: 10minutes & 3 band-aids later, the P226 & I were back in business, but the bleeding only stopped after 2 days...
 
CZ is one of the wonder 9s that changed the world!

With that being said the modern design of the 226, it's reliability, durability and accuracy makes it a very good firearm. Not to mention it's built like a tank. Yes it costs more $$$ but if you treat it well, it holds a high re-sale value.
