With a P01 he would never have to deal with a long double action pull. Load pistol with initial round, use the decocker setting the hammer to half cock which also brings the trigger back for a shorter pull, after that initial half cock pull the rest would be short single action pulls.
I suspect our troll was basing his comments on what he read on other forums rather than what he experienced. I'd be surprised if he even owned a CZ P-01.
Most of the complaints I've heard come from folks who had their first CZ experience with a standard (safety-equipped) 75B, and that included some of my shooting buddies. They wanted to love the CZ, weren't happy with a cocked & locked start, and just couldn't make it happen. (The fact that IDPA and maybe USPSA wouldn't let competitors start from the half-cock notch with safety-equipped guns also reduced the options.) I suspect that was what our TROLL read about, and was the source for his complaints, not hands-on experiences.
I'll agree that starting from the safety notch (which is physically more like 1/4 cock than 1/2 cock) gives the shooter a shorter and lighter trigger pull than a full "hammer down" start, but it's still a bit longer than a small number of folks can easily cope with. Others (myself included) are a bit put off by the DA/SA transition which is present with almost all decocker-equipped guns (SIGs immediately come to mind.) I much prefer cocked & locked starts. I've never owned a decocker-equipped CZ (but have shot them); I have owned a bunch of safety-equipped models, and a number of other CZ-pattern guns.
That said, I do have a Sphinx SDP, which is similar to the CZ decocker models, but a bit smoother out of the box than the CZ, and I came to really love that trigger after installing a lighter hammer spring thanks to a CGW spring kit for the Sphinx SDP. That makes me think I could probably get comfortable with a CZ decocker model after a little gunsmithing work.
