I would say that I probably have medium sized hands. I have handled the CZ75 and it felt very nice and comfortable in my hand. How does the Sig226 compare in size?
 
Personally I like the p226 for fit but I like the trigger on the cz75 better and so far between them the cz75 is more accurate for me. Just my personal opinion. If i had a little extra cash i would probably go with the sig and just learn to use it better, but for now i think im buying a cz75.
 
Both are excellent guns. Personally I would lean towards the CZ as it is cheaper, is just as reliable and personally I like the CZ's relatively low bore axis which makes for accurate shooting, especially when shooting at speed.

Basically your 87 Tercel is just as reliable as your 2000 Honda accord, but hey its cheaper so why not. Give me a break people. The sig wins hands down.

I believe the question was about the size of the grip, not which gun is better.

Yep, what capp325 said

Also, there is no way that you can say that the Sig wins hands down. Based on what? Your opinion?

Both the Sig and CZ are extremely reliable, accurate and well made. Both have good triggers. Both have the same magazine capacity.

I would say they are very close. I shoot a hell of a lot of pistol every year, and I can tell you that for home defence and competition I would take the a CZ 85 (or 75) over a P226 any day. If it came to carry, I would choose neither.

I am just curious to see why you say that the Sig wins hands down. What do you base it on (and please do not quote a Guns & Ammo article). :confused:
 
CZ75 vs Sig

I have to agree with the common message.

The CZ75 is more accurate and reliable than the SIg P226.

I have owned a CZ 75 for nearly 9 months now and am thoroughly impressed. It feels good... it shoots good...and you can't beat the price.

Only problem is if you want to change the sights on it. The front sight is riveted in and needs a special tool to remove it....or some crazy 'smithing.

Wow, I wish someone told that to my CZ, which was the least reliable piece of #### I've owned.
 
Both excellent guns. Very accurate and robust. Overall I would say the Sig may have a slight edge because it "feels" better (To me at least), but the CZ is half the price, so you really cant go wrong buying a CZ.
 
Hey Bartletdan,

For interest, what model did you have, and what sort of problems?

Reason I ask is that I have never really encountered any major problems. I have one that is 21 years old and the only problems have been the occasional stovepipe due to a batch of underpowered 100gr reloads.
 
I own a CZ75 9mm, CZ75B 9mm, CZ75 Compact 9mm, CZ75 PCR 9mm, CZ75 Rami 40 S&W, CZ40B, and a CZ Kadet 22 Conversion Unit that is on my CZ75B. I sold my Sig P220 and I have yet to sell a CZ. What does that tell us? Yes, I still own a Sig P226, P228, P230, P239, and Sig P245. I would sell any of these Sigs except the P228 in a heartbeat if the price were right. Regards, Richard :D
 
I personally like sig better, but the price CZ is a good buy for sure...

both feel really good in hand...

IMO CZ is not as reliable, it has never beed subjected to the kinda testing as Sig, Beretta and Glock had...To me CZ is more of a range than a combat gun, which is OK as that's what you'll be using it for...

LOL let me guess, you're using your Beretta for combat duty?
 
IM_Lugger, are you anywhere near the Detroit area? If so, you can cross the border and shoot my CZ75 pistols and my P226 pistol for a proper comparison. After doing this activity I will guarantee your opinion of CZs will be altered. Regards, Richard :D

I am with Richard on this one.

I am not an ardent defender of the CZ or anything, but it is annoying for me as an enthusiast and misleading for the poster with the original question for people to just say that the P226 is better "hands down" or as just said "not as reliable."

I would like to see those two posters just explain from experience or even what they have been told why they say this is so.

Just because the CZ has not gone through military tests says NOTHING about how reliable it is. In fact, CZ's have fairly loose tolerance levels and so I would suggest that it may do quite well.

Sorry if this sounds like a flame, it is not, but if you have something to significant to say about the pistol - reliability and quality are significant factors - then please explain as otherwise does not help the original poster.
 
Thanks for all the replys. I was asking because I may buy a Norinco knock off of either of these two guns and I would assume the ergonomics have been copied as well.

Sorry, but that is a whole other issue. Both the CZ and SIG are well engineered, durable and reliable. In my experience the Norinco knockoffs fail on some or all of these atributes.
 
I never said CZs are not reliable; I personally never experienced any problems with CZ guns, but have heard from a number (read- a lot) of different people about reliability problems with CZ guns. Certainly more than with Sigs...Don't get me wrong I'm not knocking CZ down or anything in fact IMO for 2x the price Sig is not exactly twice of the gun the CZ is...

why exactly is it misleading? :confused: btw I didn't make the 'hands down' comment...

But if KDX is getting a Nirinco than CZ vs Sig it totally irrelevant...he should be asking NP-22 vs. NP 75
 
My mistake. I had assumed that the knock offs would feel similar to the original guns. I know the quality would not be same, but I don't anticipate shooting too much either.
