Little Mistakes You Notice.

It'll probably be as cheap or cheaper than a new or used Glock pistol too, and it'll be brand new at that. I got to handle a broken in Jericho 941 (CZ patterned) and I didn't have any problems racking the slide. That might come to me in part from having a Hi-Power, which has a stronger recoil spring than most guns, but that's also evidence of the muscle memory I was talking about.

Not saying the Glock is a piece of junk or anything, I respect what they are and their usefulness as it seems to me, but I do think the CZ 75 is a better overall pistol for general non-duty use (excluding CC for some people who either can't carry or can't hide anything but a snub or mousegun). Plus you get to say you have a pistol based on one of Jeff Cooper's favorites.

I have handled several CZ 75's and a few variants and I've always had trouble working the slide

All the same, if you own it and give it a lot more time than several isolated incidents, it'll probably become second nature.

So you want me to consider purchasing a gun that I cannot cock

I handled a few CZs at gun shows and shops and the thing that jumps out at me is how heavy they are compared to other pistols. (About a pound heavier than a Glock.)

I'm saying you should learn to cock it, but if it bothers you that much, then don't buy it. It's not as big a deal as you might think, and you might be missing out on a good gun if one training issue turns you off about it.

Glocks are typically lighter than everything else, and since they're on one end of the spectrum with regard to weight, it's not really fair to make them the standard for "other pistols", but they are a little on the heavy side at about 35 ounces. Weight is somewhat a minus for carry, but a plus for recoil control (granted the weight is distributed in the right place) and since S&W isn't going to carry the gun concealed, it doesn't matter too much.

I will CC as soon as I can get a license and I'll look into getting a J frame or a Kahr or something
