Hard pass on the Omega, i would expect it to disappear anyways. It's infinitely harder to sell and shelf rots because "CZ people " don't buy them. The rest of your question is a matter of what you want to do with the gun and that kind of thing more of a preference thing.Looking at the 75 series. Do you guys have a preference and why? 75, 75 B, 75BD, or 75B Omega?
Not for competition, just range shooting.
Agreed on the slide manipulation but you get used to it.I like the P-01 for the same reasons. It's a good all around package for a range toy, carry or bedside gun. My only complaints are the stock DA pull and the lower profile slide doesn't have as much surface to grab as most other guns but you get used to it.

Why a hard pass on the Omega?
I'm not exactly sure why but there's a lot of inherent disdain for that sub-platform. The amount of people who have put the gun back on the counter in disappointment after picking one up and finding out it's an Omega was enough for me to take notice. Those guns sold eventually but they took way longer than the other czs we had floating around at the same time. Right now there are probably lots of them shelf rotting.
It's probably because of stuff like this:

2022 P01 OMEGA Decocker issues?

I would not be shocked if eventually the product magically just disappears/discontinued. With the amount of disdain for that product line they're better off not wasting the production capacity and stick to doing things they're good at.
This.Shadow 2 and don't look back.
I like the shadow 2. There's no doubt it is better out of the box than an SP01 Shadow. But it is a heavier gun and some excellent shooters think it doesn't swing as well as the SP01 and the recoil of soft 9mm ammo is of little need for more weight. Plus the extra weight puts it over limit for IDPA. Somethings to consider.This.

i got settled on shadow 2 blues - got one cajunized and second 'as is' stock with irons - and love them both.Shadow 2 and don't look back.
I have three pistols with de-cockers and love all of them. I feel far safer using them then slowly letting the hammer down on my Colt 1911 (yep, I'm one of those )The stock P01 Omega trigger is a good deal better than the stock P01 trigger.
Of course, the pull and bite of the normal P01 trigger can be taken care of with Cajun.
And it is hard for people to get over the decocker issue, regardless of how rare it might be.
Why would you ever manually lower the hammer on a loaded 1911?I have three pistols with de-cockers and love all of them. I feel far safer using them then slowly letting the hammer down on my Colt 1911 (yep, I'm one of those )
To decock it, duhWhy would you ever manually lower the hammer on a loaded 1911?
And why in the world would you do that?To decock it, duh
Sometimes I would take my 1911 hiking in my pack. I was always a bit nervous that with the pistol bumping around in my pack, the safety might slide "off" and now I have a pistol in my pack with a hammer back and safety off. I understand that the grip safety comes into play as well but better safe than sorry.Why would you ever manually lower the hammer on a loaded 1911?
A loaded gun bumping around in a pack is a bad idea, whether cocked and locked or decocked. There are packs with holsters in them.Sometimes I would take my 1911 hiking in my pack.

Not in any of my packs. I just slipped the 1911 in an Uncle Mike's holster, put a strap over it, snapped it and called it done. If it went off like that, I had bigger problems. The safety was still exposed but at least the trigger was covered.There are packs with holsters in them.
You lost me at uncle Mike's.Not in any of my packs. I just slipped the 1911 in an Uncle Mike's holster, put a strap over it, snapped it and called it done. If it went off like that, I had bigger problems. The safety was still exposed but at least the trigger was covered.
I wouldn't, I was just joking around.And why in the world would you do that?
