HiPower vs CZ75

[mrdrar]

I get that the HiPower is iconic. But, what does it do that the CZ75 doesn't do better?

Resell

I had both. Sold the Highpower. The is a better practical pistol.

CZ75 - to me - is better in every possible way.
Other than collector or resale value.

I feel sad for people who live in this world.

I had both and sold both. They are both fine pistols, just heavy for EDC. I had a Cylinder and Slide trigger installed on the High Power. It was probably one of the fastest pistols I could shoot with.

Interesting POV

I just weighted a CZ P-10F and a CZ 75BD side by side. Both with an empty mag inserted. Both with iron sights (no optics to add weight)

P-10F: 30 oz

75BD: 36 oz

Not as big a difference as you might think looking at them, and even less of a difference when you wear a decent holster and belt.

I've always wondered what JMB would have imagined if he had been able to handle a CZ-75 before designing the Hi Power.

JMB designing the love child of the 1911 and a CZ-75? I'm betting it would not even remotely be a Hi Power

Considering that my G23 or Hellcat weighs less loaded I'll carry those.

Regardless of the number - you get used to whatever you carry.

No shit. It wasn't a comparison between full size and tiny guns.

Weight is a tertiary consideration for me. Shootability and capacity are more important to me.

 

[xsn10s]

I shoot the G23 and the Hellcat just fine. I competed/ trained with the G23 for decades so I handle it just fine. The Hellcat isn't snappy for me and shoot it about as good as the G23. Flush mags while in the holster or pocket. Higher caps in the mag pouches.

Sure you can. But as with anything the easier to carry and use the more you'll carry it.

I cannot carry any more than now - without it rusting in the shower. After carrying only full size side arms for 30 yrs - the weight is just life as I know it.

That's fine. I caried full sized firearms until I decided to carry lighter compacts.

I had a HiPower for years in late 80's and used it for IPSC. I found that it had a propensity for rocking up quite a bit. I guess due to the lighter front end of slide and barrel vs the heavier rear of the gun. I got it magnaported and it reduced the rocking affect but there was not much to be done about the trigger without having the slide custom refit.
Also had the 1911's in 38 Super and Glock 17's back then which didn't rock up so much which translated to helping me shoot faster double taps.

Went to Para Ordinance then 2011's a bit later.

A couple times lately I've wanted a CZ Shadow 2 because the grip fits my hand better and trigger is light.

A few friends have CZ75's and they feel good to shoot.
