Question: Do CZ pistols point as naturally as SIGS?

1186 Views 19 Replies 16 Participants Last post by  raz-0
I felt a CZ in the gun store many years ago, but I don't remember how it pointed (lining up the sights). All I remember is how incredibly comfortable it was. I think I was taken by surprise so much I forgot to test how well it pointed.

Do CZ pistols point as naturally as SIGs and Berettas?

A lot of people say M&Ps and 1911's point naturally, but I always aim slightly high when I'm out of practice. Not as high as when I'm shooting Glocks, but high.

I almost can't point a SIG or a Beretta wrong, however.

I have a CZ-P01 and a Sig P320 and considering that the only reason I carry is for personal self defense, I don't expect to have to draw and shoot at anything past 10 yards the difference for ME is negligible and I hit center of mass with either.

For me, they point more naturally but it really depends on the model and the individual.

DT makes great a point, but to me, my CZ stuff points very well. I love my Sigs, but as I stated on another forum, there is genius in CZ ergonomics.

CZ's, specifically the 75 series, are the most naturally pointing, feeling pistols available. The Sig classic P series is second imo.

Yep, the 75's are natural shooters. Typically effortless accuracy.

No
Im fairly new to the CZ world but the TSO I got this last year has totally blown my mind and become my best shooter. Not a carry gun but still the most natural aiming pistol I have ever fired....

I don't think it's possible, at least for me, to find a better pointing gun than a CZ/clone.

I have to agree with this, and add that the Browning High Power is almost exactly the same. Nothing feels better in my hand (firearms related) than the BHP or my lone CZ75.

More natural.

I prefer my P226 over my CZ SP01 but I am sure that varies from shooter to shooter based on the shape and size of ones's hands/fingers, etc. I absolutely hate the curved trigger that CZ puts on a lot of their pistols and find the trigger shape on my P226 far superior but I changed my CZ SP01 Shadow trigger to one by CGW which is their repo of the original CZ 85 Combat trigger and that improved the siuation quite a bit.

Picture of my SP01 Shadow is with the replacement trigger on it. I really like my CZ but don't plan on buying any more. My preference for hammer fired pistols are SIG and HK.

IMHO, CZs and Sigs are about equal.

I love my TSO too. It's the most accurate, sweetest shooting pistol I've ever fired. And I've fired a LOT.

"Naturally pointing" must be subjective because nothing could possibly point better in my hands than a SIG or Beretta. Everytime I lift the pistol my eyes are perfectly aligned with the sights (equal height/equal light). If it's more naturally pointing for you, then it must either point higher or lower than the SIG & Beretta, and if that's the case, it can't possibly point as well for me (unless it is actually the same). As far as comfort is concerned, I've never felt anything quite like a CZ, but I guess I'm going to have to get my hands on one again to actually see how it points for me.

Naturally pointing may not be the best term, like you said, that can be subjective. But nothing feels better in my hand than a CZ 75 series gun. It's like an extention of my hand, as if the gun was made custom to fit me. This is something CZ is known for, so although this is merely my opinion, it's an opinion shared by many since the 70's.

Sig classic P series feels good to, but is a distant 2nd place for me when compared to the CZ. As for Beretta (guessing 92), it's not even close. Especially the newer vertec grip, it's terrible and it's my opinion they ruined the feel of the original 92. But again, all subjective.

To me it depends on the model of CZ and Sig. 75 variants point very well but there are some variations between models. I think a Shadow 2/ TSO or those class of 75 variants are excellent and better than any P226 I have shot or felt. Now when you move to polymers I prefer the grips modules in a P320 over the P10’s from CZ. I literally just shot them back to back to back in multiple guns in both line ups last week. I am partial though, both brands are my favorites.

I agree with this. I was strictly talking about the 75 variants (75, 75 compact, SP-01, P-01, TSO, Shadow, Etc.). Nothing shoots better than my TSO. And I've fired or owned pretty much every major manufacturer.

When it comes to polymer pistols, I agree that the P320 is better, which is why I own 5. The P10 is a good gun, with a decent striker trigger, but not as good as the P320.

All these "depends on the model" answers. It depends on the user because it is down to ergonomics.

For me, the 320 with the x-grip is probably the most naturally pointing gun in my experience. A close tie are old wide body para frames with the squared off front strap. Then a very close race between 2011s, M&Ps, and large frame CZs and or tanfoglios. Then probably small frame CZs and tanfoglios and old school sigs in a close clump. Then probably the XD series of pistols. Then glocks. Then compact 1911s. Then full sized 1911s.

Mainly because I have big hands with long fingers so the 1911 is not bad in terms of up/down pointability, but getting good left/right pointability requires a lot of work on the draw. It's a hassle. I still made B class with one though.
