BigBL - I wasn't taking liberties, I didn't find a single thing, to me, about the SAR that I liked more than the PT111. I find racking the slide to be absurd with the lack of purchase compared to any other firearm I've ever used, I found the trigger to be heavy, heavier than the DA pull of my 92FS or my 1006, and certainly nowhere near the PT111, which, at least for mine, has no squish, a minimal, tangible reset, and consistent break. I like the grip feel of the SAR, but I like the grip feel of the PT at least as well. I find the safety mechanism to be in a horrible, literally unusable location without using my off hand. I didn't find either gun to be heavy recoilers, so I'd call that a draw, so perhaps equal or worse would have been more appropriate, but aside from that minor mitigation of my personal feelings, I stand by what I said.
Bottom line, at the end of the day, I ran one magazine through the SAR (because that's all it came with, vs. 2 on the PT), shook my head, put it back in the range bag, and went back to shooting the PT. I'm not saying it's not a gun worth trying, esp. if you're a CZ fan, at $250 or whatever special you find for it, I"m just saying for me, it has no place in my stable, and will be sold or traded at the earliest opportunity.
