I look to you all for help. I'm torn between these 3 guns, all 3 fit perfectly in my hand, I Can pick up all three for around the same general price give or take a bit, so here is where my request comes in, I"m looking for the pros and cons for all of them to help make a more wise desision when it comes to choosing only one
uses
lots of paper punching and maybe one day IDPA
Thank you in advance for your help and comments

If this were a poll I'd vote for the M&P. lots of people like the CZ, personally I can't stand the feel of it, but that's just me.
 
You dont have Glock as a option:)It would be my choice.
I have owned 2 of the three you mentioned and i always went back to my Glock.
 
I've owned both the CZ and the M&P. I owned and sold both, the only one I rebought (within months) was the M&P. They are both good guns, the Baretta has never really interested me (92/M9). Personally I really like the M&P. I'm over 5,000 rounds through the two combined and haven't had a single issue. It shoots better than me and the felt recoil is soft enough that it's easy to accurately shoot at very high speed. It's what I did choose (for days when I'm not shooting a 45)
 
Check IDPA Rule Book for which division you wanna try since there are weight and dimension limits in say SSP.
SP-01 in my eyes is a better pistol than M&P and Beretta; AND with right mods can make 39oz for SSP.
 
I have a 92FS Inox and M&P and love both, Beretta is 100% reliable, accurate well made quality gun, a work of art that can take some abuse basically. M&P is nice but it's more of a tool.
 
For what is a fairly large gun, the 92's grip fits my small hands remarkably well. The highly rounded corners just feel really comfortable. The M&P doesn't quite fill my hand as well but the controls are easier for me to reach and I really like the ability to adjust the backstrap. I do have my eye on a 92FS Inox, if I ever scrape up the funds...

In the long run, you'll probably end up getting all three guns anyway. :D
 
I have a CZ 75 and I love it. I also like the M&P and I plan on buying one in the near future. The one thing I don't like about the M&P it you cant fire it with out a mag in it. I have no idea why as I don't plan on shooting it with out the mag but it just bugs me :runaway:
 
Must be a safety feature.
Also, if you consider competing, make sure the gun you pick out has mag-drop-free feature where pressing on mag release button you get the mag fall out the gun on it's own.

Certain models are not equipped with the mag safety. My M&P45 is capable of firing with the mag removed.:)
 
I had the same list. Still working on it as I decided they would all be good so why not get them all over the long term. I ended up starting with the MP. If I could only have one that's where I'd start. Great start and I find it's still my fav in good company. I would add a sig to that and there you go!

I thought it would bug me too, but it didn't. Actually it really is irrelevant to me now. Definetly don't let this sway you.
 
I just wanted to thank you all for your posts this has been verry interesting and informative I'll post the pics of my final desision when I get it in.
 
M&p

hi 2LABS,

I had an M&P 9, currently have a CZ 75B and a CZ Shadow. put a couple of thousand rounds through both, each without a hiccup. I wanted to sell one to finance another toy, ended up selling the M&P
MISTAKE!
fortunately it was sold to a friend that competes with me, and i have watched my M&P consistently outperform in the reliability dept. every firearm i have seen, including my own CZ shadow.
the trigger on the M&P just gets better and better, when i use it i am much more accurate than with the 75B.
the only experience i have had with the beretta is handling one. it felt like a real club to get out of the holster and into my hand right, so that gun was out.
i am thinking of trading my 75B towards an M&P45.
good luck!
