Question for CZ owners - if the gun has no decocker, how do you train with it - do you flip the safety on before holstering? Do you manually decock with opposite hand? The latter would seem a bit dangerous.
I see a lot of conflicting advice - a lot of reviewers will say you having to pull the trigger to decock (like before field stripping) is dangerous, then sometimes even in the same review they'll recommend doing dry fires and/or snap caps for training.
You either run it like a 1911 (C1, cocked and locked) or you thumb the hammer down using whatever you think is the safest method. It sounds hairier than it actually is. Everyone thinks "oh if I slip the guns gonna go off blah blah blah" but it's not that difficult, particularly if you have a slicked up gun that has a reduced power mainspring. It's one of those things that's hard to explain. If I unloaded the pistol and handed it to you, and told you to do it a few times you would probably be like "that's not so bad." The main disadvantage is it's not something you set about doing quickly. The "thumb roll off" method is also pretty safe. Of course theres a debate about where to decock it to. Most CZ folks decock into the half cock notch, although I -THINK- for USPSA production use you have to decock the thing all the way, but I'm not 100% sure of the rules on that. I would think the half cock would be enough, because thats where a BD version would leave the hammer if you decocked the gun with the lever. Sigs do a similar thing but it's not as obvious unless you know how a Sig works.

Action shooters who use CZs start hammer down. They lower the hammer manually. I haven't seen one ND, but that is a possibility if you aren't paying attention.

CZs have a firing pin block that engages when the trigger is released. I release the trigger as I lower the hammer so the block engages, preventing an accidental discharge if the hammer slips.

I have the opportunity to acquire a new CZ 75 SP-01 shadow custom for the same money as a used Sig 226 elite stainless....anyone shot both? Quality of each? They are not cheap guns so I don't want to rush into one... I believe pre bans are available for both for reasonable money..any other issues I should consider?
DO NOT BUY THE CZ.
Just send me over the seller's contact information right away so I can ummm.....so I can....just send me the information dammit.
I'm a moderator. Send me the contact information so I can relieve them of that dangerous CZ -- it's one of those generous things I'll do for the community.
The decocker only guns can not be upgraded like the non decocker CZs. If you plan on having trigger work don't get that model.This gun

I'm finding that some of the new ones look just like the above except follower is blue...I thought I scored a few from dealer he had new old stock from Europe that look exactly like your pics for a decent price but he won't ship to mass...
Got the CZ and took it to the range...its heavy...I can't believe how well I shot it...the Fiber optic sights really helped my tired eyes...took awhile to get used to the trigger...in SA its very light and the reset is almost immediate..is that normal for CZ?
