Hello all, I was originally going to send this as a private message to S. Camp after seeing his comments on both pistols, but I thought I would throw it out for comments from everyone.
You may have picked up that I am recently back into shooting after a 20+ years hiatus. I have applied to a local pistol range and will be a full member by the end of the month. I am going to purchase a new Ruger MKII with a 5.5” bull barrel this weekend and I also wanted to get a more powerful caliber/gun. I have always liked what I read about the CZ’s and the Hi-powers. Plus the history of the P35 is enough to get my interest going. (In my prior shooting days I had a P-38 and PPK/s).
I want to get a .38spl for CCW and a good out of the box 1911 style .45, just to have…. eventually. My wife is not thrilled about guns so I’m not gong to push the CCW until I have more experience and she is more comfortable.
Anyway, how would you compare the newer Hi-powers vs. the newer CZ75’s?. The shop I go to usually has a couple used HP’s so I should be able to get a used HP or a new CZ75 for about the same price.
A decent 9mm will be a bit cheaper to shoot than a .45 as I get started. I don’t think that I will be reloading anytime in the near or distant future.
Thanks for your time and the answers I have already received on my other questions
