IF my RPAL arrives on time, I'm looking to grab at least one 9mm semi.

Months of waiting has had me flip flop over what I'd like to grab, but lately I'm settled on a Sig P320. Looking at what's still available there seems to be a few, and CZ-P10's. I'd like to get something I can mount a red dot sight, and overall something that will last.

Which is the better choice if I have the option, Sig or CZ?

Or is there another choice I'm overlooking?

I bought Glock 17 Gen 5, CZ P10F (that OD green, had to have it) and a Sig P320 AXG Optic Ready since the freeze. Don't have any of them yet but I'm most excited for the Sig P320. I shot a 226 before, it fit comfortably in my hand just like the P320 (didn't shoot it but picked it up n handled at the store a bit).

Upside to Sig is there's aftermarket support n if you buy just reg stock P320 you can just buy a new slide for it to get the AXG Pro slide and then you're optic ready. Theyre also the US Army sidearm and JTF2 used them for a bit, dropped them on a holstered misfire and once that investigation was done they're back using the P320. Personally I'd go Sig.

Downside to CZ is there isn't a lot of after market support. Theyre nice firearms though and have been called a glock killer.

Glock if you can find one has the best aftermarket support. I heard Al Flaherty's got a shipment of them in.

Good to know!
That's in line with what I figured would be the case about the Sig. Good to know I can just get a new slide that's optics ready if I end up having to scramble and get whatever I can.
