Purpose? Is it going to be a range/target gun? Concealed carry gun? Home defense? Some of each?

For any and all uses I would go with the Glock 19 out of the choices that you listed. It's big enough for anything you could want it for and small enough to easily conceal if that's an option.

I would go with the G26 for the same reasons that TBT suggested.
The difference is you have a smaller gun for carry and you can put a rubber cover on a G19 magazine and shoot it for target or home defense. It’s a great package and very good shooting gun.

Glock 19... it can do it all.
Or a 23/32 setup w/ a 9mm conversion barrel and maybe a .22lr kit. (Full disclosure, I've owned 2x 19's and a 23 and got rid of all of them) |

Definitely one of the CZs drastically better trigger than the glock not to mention they point where they should. If you do choose the glock remember your wrist exercises

Glock 26 - Small for CC and with grip extension would be OK enough for range play.
I had a CZ 75 - for me, it was big and heavy for CC. |

I'd go with the CZ-75 if it were me. They are a great HD and range/target gun. And they can be carried, its just a little big. But the G19 is a great all around gun too.

Glock 19, glock 26, or CZ75. I personally wouldn't even bother with the others.

Cz75. I the one to have. I'd go for a compact model. The P01 or PCR are alloy and the compact is steel. The P07 is a good choice too.

Thanks for your comments, I think I'll buy any glock.

CZ is great but might be a little big to CC. Even the G19 on me is as big as I'd want to go.
The right answer is get more than one. G26 for carry and CZ75 for everything else. |

CZ-75 since as member of SNM (Sons of Neanderthal Man) I always recommend the feel of Steel. Also I like that Cadet conversion unit.

I have never shot a CZ, but I have spoken to a couple of owners of the CZ75 and absolutely swear by it. To the point that I am interested.

wow! i've never seen a list so long that had a more obvious choice! cz 75b by a landslide! i don't even care what you plan on using it for. range use, home defense, concealed carry, paperweight.... doesn't matter. cz 75b all the way.

Too many parts and springs to wear out on the CZ design. I've owned an EAA Witness which is a CZ clone and it had too many things that could go wrong with it, they can develop a trigger return problem due to the overly complicated design... Nice guns just not simple enough for the longterm.
There are better choices out there in this price range. |

i still own the sp01 shadow custom target, 75b omega, and pcr, but my 83 and p-07 were flawless as well.

^---- Guns with slides inside the frames aren't fair!
lol, nice shooters! But I'm not from the school of trusting my life to them. However, I haven't had enough play time with a CZ. One thing I don't like about them and my Jericho 941 is the little slide. CZ got it right over the Jericho and Beretta with no slide mounted safety. Thank The Lord!!! All that said, OP... Glock 19 would be my first choice from your list. Followed by the CZ-75, followed by the Tangfolio carry. |
