When you are looking for a new pistol to buy, whether it is your first or your fifth, there are particular features you should look for or decide whether they are important to you. No matter if you are looking for a CZ 75 listed by a user at an online marketplace or a 1911 at your local gun shop, here are some of the features that you should be aware of.
CZ 75
Trigger Weight
First off is trigger weight. Do you need a duty handgun with a higher trigger weight, or are you going to competition and need a lower trigger weight? This determines how hard it is to pull the trigger. You can change this by switching out the trigger with many handguns, which is something else you should be aware of if the gun comes with a trigger weight you do not want.
Safety
Some handguns, like revolvers, do not have a safety at all. Others, like the Beretta 92F, famously have a safety on the slide, while a Colt 1911 has the safety on the frame. You can also find some handguns that give you a choice, such as the Jericho 941, depending on the production model. Another option, famously on the Glock series, is the trigger safety. While this may sound unsafe, it is just as safe as the other options.
Beavertail Grip
The beavertail grip can be a double-edged sword. It protects your strong hand from the “bite” of the slide, which can hit the webbing between your index finger and thumb. However, it also makes it harder to get a higher grip, which can help with accuracy and faster follow-up shots, which is important in competition.
Undercut
The undercut is part of the trigger guard, helping your position your fingers higher on the grip. Unless the gun is specifically created for competition, you are unlikely to find much of an undercut. However, you can find services that will do it, or do it yourself. It is possible you might find a Glock on an online marketplace with an undercut, for example.
Accessory Rail
A popular add-on to handguns is a light. However, an accessory rail, usually a 1913 Picatinny rail, is needed, such as on the CZ 75 SP 01. This can also be used to mount a laser, as well. The light also acts as a counterweight to upward recoil, helping with follow-up shots, making an accessory rail desirable.
Front Serrations
Front serrations serve two main purposes: First, it makes it easier to rack the slide from either the front or back of the slide. Second, it helps with press checks, where you pull the slide back slightly to check if a round is chambered.
