Purchasing my first...

The Jericho (known as the Baby Eagle at the time) was on my very short list to buy for my first gun. I really like it. But then someone let me shoot their CZ Shadow a few times and again later the next week. It was love at first mag for the CZ.

If you don't want to spring for the rather expensive Shadow II then consider one of the original Shadows or an 85 Combat or even the basic 75B. They are all superb firearms. The 85 and 75 may not be as pointed towards competition as the Shadow and Shadow II but you could still go a long way using them if you are up to the job. And fun wise they are excellent.

On the other hand if you have your heart set on the Jericho you won't go wrong there either. It was a REALLY close second place to the CZ for me.
 
A friend has a jericho in 40SW, and I have a CZ SP-01. The jericho is nice, but I like my CZ better. Am I biased? Maybe. It seems to just feel better.

Go and hold a few, see what feels best. Don't pick up a 50AE desert eagle though... :)
 
Local Dealer has a CZ Shadow used for around $660 but was in 40 cal. Also Has a CZ Shadow Line 9mm used but wants $999. I wanted to start with the 9mm but think used CZ $999 is too much....I can buy a Walter new for under $600 although......CZ feels better in hand. I loved the Jericho but...doesn't feel comfortable racking .....so many choices. I'm just in waiting for my range membership so hoping to be able to try out a few different types in 9mm. Shooting 22LR for now and for the next few months......Strange thing is I don't like the feel of the Browning Buck Mark 22 LR in my hands. It is the model of Club Guns at club I'm joining but I just don't like the feel....Liking the CZ... have time to decide......trying to pay as little as possible but want quality...how hard can that be LOL
