Springfield 1911 or CZ 97BD?

[DadSmith]

Guys I really like the CZ 97 BD in 45acp love the looks and if it feels similar to my P10F I'll probably get it. However, I'm also interested in the Springfield Ronin in 45acp. It's a very nice pistol also.

97 BD with Blue grips $756 + transfer fee and governor's fee. + $88 for the grips i want


Springfield Ronin $770 + transfer fee and governor's fee.

So this is my problem I'm allowed one. Which one should I get INGO?
Give me all the positive and negative on both these pistols if there is any. I can't make my mind up and I'm not allowed to buy both bosses orders.

A tough choice as I like both. In the end the CZ wins for me.

Do you already have a 1911? Everybody should have at least (1) 1911. If I'm reading your post correctly, you already have a CZ, so if you don't have a 1911, get that.

If you do akready have a 1911...well...it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

I love CZs but unless you have a safe full of 1911s, I'd go the 1911 route. .45 ACP loves a good 1911 to shoot it from

I really like CZ pistols, but I'm not a fan of decker models. If I could find the 97 B in the picture for the same price as a Springfield 1911, I would take it, but if my choice was a BD I would go with the 1911.

What he said ^^^^^^^^^^

Everyone should have at least one good 1911, and the Springfield is a good 1911 IMHO

This is a tough situation. The good news is that there is no bad choice! I have a 97BD if you are interested in looking at it and shooting it. This might help your decision.

I would go with the 1911. Plus several of us would like a real world range report on that Ronin.

I have both. Best answer.

 

[Tyler-The-Piker]

any chance you'll eventually get both? look for the better deal now, save up or trade for the other one...

 

[Tombs]

Do you have a nice 1911 yet? If no, get the 1911.

Otherwise, you have to get the CZ.

 

[DadSmith]

No 1911 yet. I want a decent one and Springfield seems to make them good yet affordable. I'd love a Dan Wesson but I want to make it to my 70's out of a wheelchair. The bosses response was not that I can't have more but why buy a low capacity firearm when they well not be the ones banned for 4+ years. Boss thinks i should load up on AR rifles.

Buy lowers and magazines, if you want to stockpile cheap. Uppers would be pretty hard to regulate.

I would have to vote for the CZ. If the Republicans don't hold the Senate, there is a chance another "assault weapon" ban can pass.

Sophie's Choice.....

 

[Robert Richardson]

1911, anytime.

 

[Expat]

After you get both of those, then get a Sig P220 and a HK45 (or a Sig P227 and a USP 45)....

I am and always will be a 1911 aficionado.
I own a few other models including Glocks but I always gravitate towards the 1911 ( prefer the series 70 design )

 

[Benp]

The 1911 is just a beautiful design. I miss not having one, but I enjoy the higher capacity pistols that I currently carry.
