I was looking at prices and availability of both the Beretta and any of the CZ higher end pistols the last few days. The price of the CZ variants have gone through the roof. The Beretta pistols are simply not available.
It seems the CZ variants are so popular they will sell for more than suggested retail in most gun stores, even if they can get them in, which is doubtful.
I have given up on this issue for now. You can't buy what you can't find.
I was able to handle a couple of the CZ Shadow2 models that were someones personal property. Didn't get to shoot them, but the triggers were great.
I have yet to see or handle one of the Beretta pistols anywhere.
