Find a range that rents handguns. I thought that the CZ75 was the end-all be-all from what I had read about it.
I told my Dad to get one, he had fears of the .45 being to hard to handle.
We went to a range that loans out pistols for you to burn their ammo with.
We tried a sig 226, glock, CZ75, Berreta 92 and some S&W 9mm rigs out.
Since we had my 1991A1 colt we tried several other nicer 1911's
We also tried a .357 revolver with a 6" barrel.
Both of us didn't like the glock ( I shot well with it but it felt like a foreign object in my hand. The "felt" recoil of the 9mm round was the same as the recoil of the .45 out of my 1911.
The CZ felt HUGE like it could have been a .50. It could have been a good gun, but it just didn't work well for me.
The berreta shot well.
I didn't like the sig. I wasn't very accurate with it and it didn't work for me.
My Dad is 70 and wanted something for traveling in his motor-home and for home protection. He wants something simple to use. We thought that a .357 wheelgun would be the right choice.
He ran 36 rounds down the tube and it wasn't for him.
He just bought a Springfield 1911 in SS, It;s nicer than mine.
Before Obama was elected my Father NEVER owned a firearm. He now has a 12ga shotgun, a .22 pistol and a 1911.
My Dad fears that the economy will suffer, crime rate will go up and that he's not going to let someone harm him or my Mom.
