Why is the CZ 75 DA when there is no decocker?

[Mr310]

Other than to quickly try to get a shot off if there's a light strike.

Can someone explain this wizardry to me?

It works like a 1911 but has double strike capability.

Some people actually like a heavy trigger pull on the first shot for safety reasons. The people who do not like the DA pull convert their pistols to SA only, they choose a different pistol or just avoid using the DA.

I wish the 75 was like the usp and could be run cocked and locked or decocked da. If you're confident you can thumb decock and run in da.

You can... If you get the standard da/sa 75b. If you the the 75bd I think it is, is the one that comes with a decocker. SA comes with a safety. 75b comes with a safety.
This thread makes no sense.

I know I do. I prefer da/SA with a decocker. CZ's da isn't as horrible as others lol. P07 is awesome. Just saying...

[osis32]

I don't think it works the same as the usp euphoria. The usp the decocker can be put in the safe position. With the cz there is no safe if you use a decocker as far as i know anyway.

[Euphoria526]

Your right. You can't have the safety on if it's not cocked. Plus they done have safety on the decocker models. Usp has both I'm guessing

[Luv1911's]

CZ's come in DA/SA with a manual safety, DA/SA with a decocker (no different than other DA/SA guns with dockers on the market) and SA only with a manual safety similar to 1911's. Unless I'm missing something, I'm not sure I understand this thread.

[osis32]

He's asking why does the cz75b bother having double action because it's dangerous to manually decock and most people run it in single action anyway. To him only reason to have double action is to try to refire a light strike.

[Tok36]

I am curious as to what brought this question up. DA/SA seams quite common across allot of manufacturers.

What do you typically shoot OP?

[trigger945]

osis32 laid the question out well. And I think it is a good question.

Not sure why, OP, but maybe because some people don't like decockers and would rather thumb decock? Maybe?

The design lends itself well to the type of customers looking for a service pistol, including LE and military. You can choose your method of carry.
Remembering to decock takes proper training just like operating a safety or safely dropping a hammer.
With the 75B you can choose your method.
Remember the CZ75 was developed for LE/military use.

No. To me, the only reason to have a DA pistol is when you have the ability to decock the gun wit7h an actual decocker; not your thumb or other hand.

Is it possible to decock a gun manually? Yes. Is it inherently dangerous? Oh yes.

If the CZ 75 does not have the ability to decock unless doing it manually, then why have it as a traditional DA pistol?

With the safety non decocker version you get the best of both worlds. You can go cocked and locked or decocked. When I decock my Czs I grab the hammer between my middle finger and my thumb. I also place index finger in front of the hammer. This basically surrounds the hammer. I now pull the trigger. I can feel the hammer release forward slightly. Now I can take my finger off the trigger which reblocks the firing pin. I now lower the hammer to half cock and I'm done. With a little practice it is easy.
