So a couple months ago I purchased my first firearm (yay!), a Mossberg 500 Flex. It's my baby. I love her. I named her Annabelle. We're getting married soon.
Anyway, it's got a long-ass barrel (28-inch) so I figure I should pick up a hand gun for home defense and CQC. I'm looking at the CZ-75 SP-01 for multiple reasons:
1)Relatively affordable (~$700 new)
2)I've heard it's a decent handgun
3)It's a handsome piece of machinery
O, wise Archons of /k/, what are the advantages and disadvantages to this firearm?

pros:
-virtually no recoil
-night sights
-decocker instead of safety if you hate safeties
-hard to miss with
cons
-big and heavy
-rough finishing on the inside
-no safety if you like safeties
-it's not a shadow 2
-you are now member of cz cult
I dont have much to say about the CZ-75, I've only shot a range rental CZ-75B. It was a sweet fucking shooter, and I am definitely going for one when I get my finances in order. But if you want a HD you can find extra barrels for Annabelle online for around $100.
Advantages:
-Accurate and easy to shoot
-Integral 1913 rail if you are into that shit
-Integral Tritium "night sights"
-Available in manual safety or decocker for your preference
Disadvantages:
-It's a big gun (for you) so not very likely to double for EDC even in the winter with it's footprint
-It's pretty heavy when compared to something polymer like Glock 34/S&W MP Pro/Springfield XD (more EDC relevent)

Well, I'm a big guy. 6'3". That's not really much of a consideration for me.

There's a lot of people that say it's big and heavy but honestly once you get used to it, it's really not an issue, it's just weird if you're used to polymer handguns.

I have bigger than hands and I think my CZ is comfy. You'll like it.

DA is shit imo (but i think all DA is shit). The SA is crispy, and the gun is heavy enough to have basically no recoil.

It's a fantastic gun. Now go shoot some competitions cause its what fucking EVERYONE uses these days.

How does a person shoot a CZ 75B and come away with that opinion?

czs have a fuckload of variance in out of the box trigger pulls. what he claims is completely believable.
