Everybody will have their own POV on this Personally I like the CZ75 P-09- very nice to shoot especially with a red dot on it, pellet and good fun...but had I listened to its detractors (who mostly hadn't even tried one!) I might not have gone for it. I have a CP99 pellet and it isn't a bad shooter even if with a fairly short barrel. Having said that there is a guy on the UBC who swears by his. Depends a lot on how hung up you are on the term "replica" to a degree and whether you are prepared to lose out on longevity and accuracy in order to have a full drop out mag, cut out ejector and lockback on last shot. I'll freely admit I prefer pellet to bb, but accept that some of the "replica" element loses out by sticking to pellet.
