Here is my first hand gun.

 

I like those CZs! What were your other choices and why did you pick this one?

I always liked the CZs. If this is your first handgun, how did you join Lake Island?

great gun.

Hey John!

We met today at the meeting. This is Raf.. the guy whose last name you couldn't pronounce. Of course I am not a member of the Lake Island but it's a club that I would like to associate with while I am going through the membership application process.

Good pick!

Very nice! Join the CZ club

I looked at Beretta 92's, Sig 226, Glocks in 9mm, and SW M&P. I shot a bunch of these at Shore Shot before making a decision. Ultimately I settled on the following criteria:

1. Full frame/long barrel - I have large hands and longer barrels yield more accurate results

2. Steel construction - less recoil, personal preference for steel

3. Reasonable price

4. Reliability/popularity - easier to get parts and find a gunsmith

5. 9mm caliber - low cost manufactured ammo plus good for beginner target shooting and can double up as effective home defense weapon.

The CZ fit all those and I decided to get a Shadow to get the additional benefits for target shooting (lighter trigger pull, fiber-optic sights)

Awesome choice! My CZ 75b sa was my first handgun. Your gonna love it.

Congrats, you won't regret it. Very comfortable, reliable and accurate guns.

Cool, thanks for the write-up.

Saus - I remember you. I'll be calling in about a week to get you started.
