Decisions, decisions....
A few more thoughts. If you are interested in getting your wife shooting, the CZ will probably fit her hand better and offer a slightly wider margin of safety with the DA/SA trigger system.
Parts and holster wise, The glock will be easier to buy stuff for, especially locally. The CZ line is very well covered but your only choices are usually online vendors. Either way, You will likely never need replacement parts for either gun. Extra magazines and MAYBE an extra recoil springs if you shoot alot should be all the parts you need.
TCB firearms makes top notch kydex holsters for the entire CZ line. Simply Rugged holsters makes great leather for the entire CZ line also. Most of the major holster makers make holsters for at least some of the CZ line so dont let that scare you.
All the tac lights work the same way. Just twist the tabs on the back of the light to turn the light on. You can also press the tabs in to activate a momentary on mode. The best technique for this is to just sweep your trigger finger down and flick the light on. If you cant reach, use your support hand to reach under the light and quickly flick it on. The only other consideration there is how the light is positioned on the rail of your pistol. If you look at the first pic, you can see the TRL-3 is held pretty far out on the dust cover, making the user have to reach for the tab switch. The much larger TRL-1 and 2 place the tabs all the way up against the trigger guard and make them easy to operate. The TRL-2 is a tight fit on the CZ p-01 or glock 19 and almost provides a custom fitted look, as you noted.
To really nail down your decision, try to go to a range that rents both pistols and try out both the CZ and Glock pistols. That will probably be the deciding factor for you. When I was stationed in Ft Bragg, NC. A few years ago, I know there were several ranges that had a wide selection of rental pistols including glocks and CZs.
Do a follow up and let us know which one you end up going with when you finally make a purchase!
