I have both and agree with those that say there is zero appreciable difference in triggers between safety and decocker. They are about the same to work on as well.

Go with what you prefer.

They are not about the same to work on. Decocker has 3 small springs and 2 extra parts besides sear. Need a slave pin to get the sear cage back into the frame.

Safety model has sear and 1 spring and no need for a slave pin. Much easier to work on.

You're correct. Never mind what I said OP. The decocker is impossibly difficult to work on. Listen to this guy and get the safety model.
My SP-01 Tactical was the first pistol I had the courage to work on. I installed the CGW 3 spring kit and did a little polishing. I had no problems and everything worked great. Since then my preferences have changed and I wanted a heavier self defense trigger, so I went back to the stock springs. Again I had no problems and my SP-01 is now my favorite pistol because of the trigger.

Your parts count is wrong.

It's the correct count AFTER you lose the lifter spring!  ;D

This is an old picture, as my SP-01 Tactical has followed me from patrol to investigator at the SO and ERT, but after 7000 rounds and routine maintenance the only issue was a recent de-cock spring to break. The pistol still functioned. It's been an outstanding service pistol as ordered from CGW. It now resides in a Blackpoint Tactical Leather Wing holster.

Whatchya talkin bout? There is only 3 springs in the decocker sear cage along with 3 small parts. I can math very good. Have all the parts sitting in a bag waiting for the cajun upgrades to switch out.

I might be wrong but I think everyone here is comparing the SP-01 to the SP-01 tactical.

Either way...they are still just as easy to work on.  ;D

B models, or models with a FPB have a FPB lifter spring.  They are small, very thin, will stick straight in your thumb, and go flying across the room.  I remove all of it and never have to mess with it.

I always thought the only reason for a safety on a cz was so you could carry it cocked & locked like a 1911.

I thought the same thing. Maybe that's why I'm a newbie to CZ, still learning.
