4 yrs ago decided to get a semi-auto handgun - for range and HD, not carry. Went to every range in Miami & Ft. Lauderdale and tested most every rental handgun in 9mm and 45acp - more than 40 over about a year's time.
Ergonomics and accuracy at 25yd (or less) in my hand were top criteria. No surprise that CZ and 1911s came out on top of the list that included Sigs, S&W, SA, Remington, Walther, Glock, FN. Beretta, H&K - steel, polymer, alloy. Specifically, CZ 75 SP-01 and Sig TacOps 1911 came out #1 and #2. i decided to get the
SP-01 Shadow customized by CZCustom for about $900.
The CZ SP-01 Shadow is still my favorite handgun, most accurate (for me), most reliable after about 2500 trouble-free rounds. Therefore my recommendation would be a SP-01 Shadow from CZC - you can't go wrong with this gun. I also have an FN and Glock which are fine but they don't challenge the Shadow. I'm starting to think about another CZ - perhaps a Shadow2 or AccuShadow or maybe even a P-01/PCR/Compact for a carry gun - but that gun will have a hard time surpassing my Shadow
Hope my experience helps you. CZ is #1 as far as I am concerned.
