| Expert Opinion: glock 17 G4 or CZ sp01 Shadow
Greetings! This is my first post soliciting for expert opinions as to what I'm gonna buy, Glock 17 Gen 4 or CZ 75 SP01 Shadow? I currently have a Para Ord P14-45 Ltd, and my son who has shown keen interest in IPSC,seemed to find the P14 bit heavy and bigger grip. I have shot both pistols and personally find the CZ to be more manageable and kind of accurate.However, maybe not trusting my own impression of the 2 guns, opinions from the experts in this forum could help me come up with a better decision (hopefully though, might not confuse me further ![]() Thank you and more power to all! |

Okay, let me see if I understand this. You own one 1911, your son thinks the trigger is too heavy and the grip too big (but you don't state your opinion of it). You want a pistol that is not setup like a 1911, so your muscle memory has to change. I would recommend a Springfield Armory Range Officer. Single stack = smaller grip than the Para, it has decent sights, any gunsmith worth their salt can work on it, extra accessories are available to customize it to be "your" pistol, more holster options available than the CZ, and your muscle memory does not need to change. |

yes sir, the recoil of the Glock 17 was quite "strong" for my son and coupled with the long trigger pull his second shots were almost always "misses". Physically, my son is quite thin and his grip maybe isn't strong enough to handle the Glock recoil (even if is a 9mm).

You said the 1911 platform may work...maybe a bull barrel 9mm? That would keep the nose down, and you can run it in Unlimited in USPSA. Just a thought. | |

You must have strong grip, Scottly. I don't so I have to work to make a Glock hit well. Mainly due to the overtravel.

The grip angle on the Glocks is not to my liking, nor is the mushy triggers. If over-travel is that big of an issue, may I suggest this: Lone Wolf Distributors - Product Detail - LWD Ultimate Trigger Stop 9 - $19.95 Just my $.02 | |

Have you looked at the .38Super on a 1911 platform with compensator? You have the added capacity, lower recoil, Major Power factor, muscle memory, and trigger overtravel adjustment. |
