Aight Zig Forums, school me on the CZ-75 and the models currently in production. Pros/cons/differences in current variants.
I've fulfilled most of my handgun purchases I actually want and only have a couple left I'd consider. Commonly a Glawk or Rex Zero, but then I saw a 75 and thought "man, that is some sex".
Have you considered CZ P09? This ex Delta oper8or says it's his new go-to gun

This isn't going to be completely scientific, because I fucking love the CZ series (Even the old 82/83 not quite mak's that blew the pants off any other combloc makarov).
The main thing is the full length slide rails, like on your higher tier Sig Sauer's. The way CZ does it is set the rails high on the slide, so the mass is lower and the bore axis is as well. This means less muzzle flip and (to me) a much more controllable grip as compared to a Sig pretty much anything else out there. The downside is that you have a smaller gripping surface on the slide serrations. I've never found that to be a problem, but I acknowledge that in amurrica with our severe obesity problem it might become an issue.
Unless you get an SA or a custom shop gun of some sort, the trigger's will be good but not excellent out of the box. If you're used to a DA/SA trigger like on a Sig or a S&W autoloader I think the CZ's beat them. They can definitely use some fine-tuning out of the box though.
Most of my experience is with the CZ-75 SP-01, a heavy steel beast of a 9mm. It's one of two guns I have that has never failed me. It's more accurate than I am most days, feels fucking great in the hand, the balance is perfect on it, especially with a light/laser mounted, and you can beat a motherfucker to death in between reloads and I doubt your POI would shift even the tiniest.
I have one, and the only complaint is that it almost doesn't fit in my butthole and the pic rail is rough. Great for shooting as a secondary use if you're into that sort of thing.

I own a Sig SP2022 if that's a good reference point to use.

I'm not 100% sure but I think they're only currently making Shadows 2. Which is a fucking nice gun, but it's pricey. Tanfoglio makes near 100% CZ-75 full steel clones that are as good as the original for a decent price.
