I’m a big fan of the 92 series. The Storm, well, takes all kinds I guess.
The 92 series should have been put out to pasture the day it was made.
It’s heavy and clunky and the first generation used 3rd party mags. At least they fixed that debacle.
With the open top junk and debris can also get in it causing FTF issues.
I’ve used a few in classes and in hard conditions and they suck absolute ass.

Interesting data points. I appreciate info from people who shoot more than me. I have only run mine at the range. As it is worth over a grand used it is too nice for me to carry, and is just a range toy, maybe shoot in competition if I ever get the chance.
I do like DA/SA pistols, what is your opinion on the CZ P07 & P09? I just got a deal on an 09 and haven’t gotten the chance to shoot it, but the design seems simple and robust, and in that price range I can afford a pair and a spare.

I want one strictly for how it looks haha. One of my favorites appearance wise. I actually really like shooting my friends, but that’s just punching paper, never ran one hard. My 85 is also super rad.
Not the big guy you originally asked, and not the same guns, but my P01 and SP01 are my two favorite handguns I have to shoot. Ergos and triggers are bit different, but they’re still cousins. I’m pretty sure the 07 and 09 have mag compatibility with the 10 series too which is cool.

Love CZ pistols and shotguns. I try not to talk about it though for fear of being called a hipster.

Great guns and will hold up to abuse. Reminds me of shooting a polymer version of the Arex Delta.
One of my favorite hobbies is putting guns through hell and a lot of rounds. Everything I buy I actually shoot as extensively as possible and in varying conditions.
Always looking for something to surprise me.

I’ve never shot a CZ pistol I didn’t like. They’re honestly some of the most reliable, accurate and ergonomic guns on the market. They were a secret of sorts for a while but have grown popular. Fortunately, they’re still a bargain.
I use their competition ready pistols for 3 gun and recently began carrying a P01 Omega in place of an HK USP Compact. I even changed calibers to do it.
For a little gun, it’s actually comfortable in my hand, i can be on target and often put shot through shot at 10 yards from holster at just under 2 seconds, and it’s cheap enough that if ever confiscated I’ll be more irritated than mad. If you read it’s stress test results there are no other guns to buy for a shtf or must work defense scenario outside of revolvers.
And it’s not an ugly Glock that might hit an ear or a ballsack when aiming center mass.

Mine are rather plain compared to some…
- Ruger M14 7.62
- Ruger GP100 .357
- Glock 19
not the most glamorous selection…

Glocks are ugly as fuck, but what Glocks are you shooting that are that inaccurate? 
Ballsack shots are acceptable though. Fuck dem nuts.

lol, they’re not that bad but bad enough they irritate the shit out of me. I’ve shot tighter groups with a snub nose .357 than a Glock.

I have a slew, but they are bricks for sure.
Hundreds of better options out there.

My marksmanship with my Smith 642 Airweight is definitely lacking, but it is just such a great grab-and-go kind of gun no matter what I’m wearing that I end up carrying it a lot. I’m still fine within 7 yards with it, but I don’t plan on taking any hero shots with that gun.
My next big dollar gun purchase might just be an all-steel .357 in the same basic form factor. I like the Ruger SP101 sent off to Gemini Customs. This is but one possibility with those guys.

The sp101 is a great gun

Out of all my guns - I don’t own a single Ruger revolver.
It’s a mental hang up and I hate them.
I have every other revolver manufacturer imaginable.
I really like my Ruger 10/22 takedown with a magpul backpacker stock, but that’s the only Ruger I own. I’ve handled the SP101 but never fired one.
What all-steel .357 revolvers would you steer me towards in the same form factor? Price not being a factor, as long as it’s under 2 grand or so. That’s about my total spend limit if I were to buy an SP101 and send it off to Gemini Customs.

Top of my head:
A smith model 60, 340, 640.
Colt King Cobra Carry
Chiappa 60DS
I’ve been looking at these lately, along with Ruger mark IV, not sure which variation yet though.
How do you like the takedown?
It’s a neat and handy little plinker that you can shoot all day. The Magpul backpacker stock turns it into a great little package that works as advertised. I’m glad I went with it and not other “survival” .22 rifle packages. This is a lot more rugged than a Henry survival rifle.
If you just want a plinker and don’t care about the takedown feature, I’d recommend a regular 10/22. More options for better sights, but otherwise the same basic rifle.

Takedown and backpack-ability is the essential feature. Ideally I’d have the takedown in a backpack and the mark IV as the sidearm. A few boxes of the same ammo, and good to go. Like a bug out kit, but not really.
