CZ has had my interest for a long time. Will likely be my next purchase. Unfortunately, the feds just raided my largest local gun shop. I have small hands so I don't dare buy without trying.
How do you like the new M&P semi auto? I'm considering purchasing my first guns and it's one of them on the considerations list.
FWIW I carry a S&W M&P9c every day and love it. I do consider it a gun that needs trigger work out of the box, though.

Only for about 8 hours a day when I'm not at work or asleep. And when I'm asleep, I have a locked and loaded AR-15 under the bed.
For the privilege of carrying a gun, I had to pay the state $150, pay an instructor $150, attend 8 hours of class teaching the legalities behind the use of force, and ace a 50 round shooting qualification. The FBI did a background check on me and the state has my fingerprints. I spent more money on training to obtain proficiency, and a lot more in ammunition to keep it.
That sounds pretty depressing, considering I'm planning on moving to TX this fall for grad school...you don't even have open carry! And yet I hear about how progun TX is all the time. I'm seriously not too thrilled.

Texans are pro-gun. Our laws aren't. Over a century of single party rule and Jim Crow laws does funny things.
Really, you have to remember that Texas had a major political revolution during the first half of the 90's. Since the Civil War, the Texas government was solidly ruled by Democrats. Around 1960, Republicans started gaining ground in Texas. The situation continued until 1990, when Republicans pulled nearly 60% of the votes in the House and Senate races, but gerrymandering prevented them from controlling the government.
In '94 though, the Republican party, lead by George W Bush, solidly crushed the Democrats. Unsurprisingly, after fitful starts in the '80s and early '90's, our CHL law was passed in 1995. It's flawed because the Republicans' grasp on power was still tenuous at the time and they had to compromise in order to pass the law.

My Feedback
Does anyone know where I can find a heavy-duty metal airsoft gun that isn't extremely cheap looking/feeling? Something like a Glock 20, Beretta M92FS, or a Five-Seven? Every one I find looks cheap, and reviews say they're not very powerful.

I suggest going to somewhere that you know carries CZ's and trying them. The 75b Stainless that I put the pic up is the gun I use when I concealed carry. You might also look into the SP01.
Honestly everyone who has handled it be it large hands, small hands, or "average" sized hands has had no problem shooting it. The CZ's are also built VERY tough which I love. They have a great "Feel" and control compared to most guns.
I'm not a big fan of 1911's both for their accuracy (Unless you spend a bit of money) and their "feel". Some people are. Just find what works best for you and use it.

Check out Doubletapammo.com for TRUE 10mm power loads. I personally love my 10mm (Tanfoglio Limited Custom). One of the most fun calibers I have found.

Haha... I got sold on the 10mm Auto after the FBI did their initial tests way back in the 80s. Of course, I prefer the full load, not the Fed Lite that they ended up with. I also thought the MP5/10 was a great idea. It seems to be as good as the newer autopistol calibers that are coming out, e.g. .357 SIG and .45 GAP, provided the shooter can handle the recoil. I don't find higher-power rounds useful in an automatic pistol... they tend toward the Desert Eagle-style dinosaur-killers, once you move farther up the line.
