It looks like the CZ 75, Beretta 92, and Sig p226/229 are the leading DA/SA pistols, but the CZ P-07 is a bit lighter (making it more appealing to me for the camp/trail gun use).
Anyone have experience with this model who can comment on whether it would or would not be good for the purposes listed?
I own or have shot extensively all of the above. They are all excellent pistols, but very different. The Beretta 92, P226, and CZ75 are full-size guns, and the CZ75 is heaviest, due to its steel frame versus the aluminum alloy frames of the 92 and P226. Of those 3, my personal order of preference for carry would be P226, CZ75, 92.
The P229 and CZ P07 are more compact, and I'd definitely give the edge for carry to the P07. I'm never really warmed up to the P229 versus the slightly lighter and more elegant P228, but the P07 trumps either of of those for carry, as well as the full-size guns above.
The P07 really is a superb pistol. It's a robust design (be sure to get a "Gen 2" version vs the no-longer-produced "P07 DUTY" version which had some mostly cosmetic issues with frame warping). The slide is very well machined and the nitride treatment is very tough - much better than the Polycoat finish found on some other CZs in my experience. The stock trigger is quite good, and my example shoots very accurate for me.
About the only downside are the rather expensive magazines, although the less expensive CZ P10C magazines fit and function flawlessly. Also is it still slightly thicker and larger than something like a Glock 19.
Another DA/SA pistol to consider would be the Walther P99AS. It is almost exactly the same size at the P07, with the same standard capacity of 15 rounds.
I looked up the Cajun Gunworks stuff. Sounds pretty good, but having them do the trigger work in house would almost double the cost of the gun.
It's possible to buy the CGW kits and install them yourself, though I haven't felt the need to do so with my P07.
You might want to consider the Taurus 92. It's usually $400 here in Minnesota and I like the frame mounted safety rather than the slide mounted safety that most of the Berettas have.
If you can find a Taurus 99, that's the 92 with adjustable sights, that would be a contender for me.
P.S. If you've got concerns about Taurus quality control I'd certainly understand.
I don't recommend the Taurus 92/99. For the $400 you spend on one, you are only about $75 from a superior pistol like a new P07, or even a surplus P226. I know lots of folks swear by the Taurus 92, and claim that it's better than most Taurus pistols, but that has not been my experience.
