The first pistol I fired was my friend's CZ 75b in glossy blue. Man. I wish they still made them in glossy blue. The bluing was so smooth that any little bit of CLP would reflect off like oil on a puddle.
Years later I have an SP-01 Tactical, which might be like a modernized version in full steel, full dust cover / picatinny rail under the barrel. The barrel is a little thicker than the CZ75b, and mine has a decocker rather than safety.
The Phantom is like the SP-01 but polymer framed and cheaper by about $100. It's big.
The P-01 is a compact version with aluminum frame. People will mention that it has a Nato NSN stock number which I suppose it means it had to go through some testing and considered decent. Lighter, which is good for carry. And you still won't wear out the frame by shooting it.
Polymer compact hammer fired: CZ P-07.
Polymer full size (extra big mag capacity) hammer fired: CZ P-09. Something like 18-20 rounds? It's ridiculous.
Polymer Striker fired compact: CZ P-10c
Competition models are the Shadow, Shadow 2, Tactical Sport. Maybe more models I'm forgetting...
There's a 22 LR conversion slide for several models that you file nubs of the slide down to just fit your frame for a snug fit. It's expensive but they usually have a good reputation for accuracy.
You'll find people posting pictures about awesome accuracy from all of them. My "problem" with my SP-01 is the weight, but at the same time that's why I bought it. Big, steel, awesome accuracy with little recoil impulse, last several lifetimes (will eventually need a backup slide stop pin, recoil spring, mag spring, trigger return spring like all pistols will). Oh, if you repeatedly dry fire without a snap cap a LOT you could break one of the hollow roll pins, so a preventive measure is to install a spiral roll pin.
If I had a threaded barrel, and didn't have other firearms designated for home defense, it would be a great choice.
