How do you decock a hammer fired SA Like the CZ 75 TS equipped with a safety...no decocker.
It's my understanding according to the manual that a CZ 75 TS can't have its safety engaged unless the hammer is cocked...so...would you lower the hammer to the safety notch or all the way to the firing pin?
The trigger will release the hammer from the safety notch but supposedly with not enough force to discharge a round
From the manual...
"Safety Stop on the Hammer
A half-cock safety notch is on the hammer so as to prevent it from striking the firing pin when the hammer is manually cocked, and a thumb could slip. When the hammer is on the safety stop, it is not leaning against the firing pin stop, but its position is further back."
And
"Engage the pistol's safety only when the hammer is in its rear position, that is to say - cocked.
Due to the special adjustment of the trigger mechanism it is possible to rotate the safety to a "SAFE" position, even when the hammer is on the safety notch, or leaning against the firing pin stop. However, it is not recommended that the safety be engaged while in this state, because forced cocking of the hammer could damage the trigger mechanism."
So it seems there are 4 options...
1: hammer cocked to the rear/safety engaged
2: from a hammer cocked position, place thumb between hammer and firing pin, pull trigger and release, lowering hammer with a thumb roll to the safety stop
3: from a hammer cocked position, place thumb between hammer and firing pin, pull trigger while lowering hammer with a thumb roll to the firing pin
4: remove the magazine and unload the chamber
Assuming you want the pistol to remain loaded with one in the chamber, which of the three ways above do you prefer and why (competition rules DO NOT APPLY To my question)
