Any difference in trigger 'feel' between 'safety' model and decocker model?

[bczrx]

Hello All,

After installing the CGW trigger kit into my new PCR, I am definitely a fan. I love the way it feels for a defensive handgun. I won't have a CZ unless it has similar quality of operation.

Now I am considering a full size one to add to my bag of tricks.

However, I am hampered by fingers and thumbs that are 'just' short enough that I NEED that reach reduction trigger setup AND I can't use the factory thumb safeties with my right hand thumb, unless I roll the gun around in my hand [barrel off target].

Decockers resolve both issues for me, especially with that reach reduction trigger setup.


However, I am kind of wanting an SP-01, and I live in CA- so I can ONLY get one with a safety [unless someone here has the old tactical/decocker model 01100 that was discontinued around 15 years ago? Hmmm?].

In searching around, I did find a replacement safety lever that sticks toward the rear enough that I think it would feel comfortable for me [I am used to thumb safeties with other firearms].

So, now I am debating an SP-01, with a replacement safety, and then the full CGW kit installed, or a CZ 75BD [which I can get here], with the CGW kit installed [and save $200 on the gun/safety, but lose the front rail].


What I was wondering is if the manual safety model of the CZ had any difference in the 'feel' of the trigger compared to the decocker models?

I am referring to the overall length of the trigger pull when the hammer is resting on the slide [not decocked onto hammer half-cock notch], as well as the reset distance?


Any insight on any perceived differences in the action would be appreciated.

I am already aware of the potential for reduction in recoil of the SP-01 and the light rail ability. I understand the difference in weight.

At this time, I am only interested in any possible differences in trigger action/reset, and inherent accuracy differences, between the manual safety SP-01 and the decocker 75BD.

This will be primarily for range fun, and possibly some forms of competition- but not official ISPC/NRA/NCAAF type competitions [did I make you smile?].

Thanks for any insight you can give. 


I list this here as I figured that the CGW trigger kits might change some of the characteristics of a 'stock' CZ, and I am only interested in one with this quality of trigger.

Don't have an SP-01 but I own standard safety and decocker models. These are service grade guns with the manufacturing differences in tolerance that can go along with that. The basic simple answer though is that the length of pull and overall trigger feel between the two is generally the same. Due to tolerance variations you can find decockers with better triggers out of the box than safety models and vice versa but the basic action is the same. CGW parts are the cure though.

In my opinion you can tune the trigger the same between a decocker and a safety model with a firing pin block.  You get a slight shorter reset benefit when you move to a shadow line of cz's sans the firing pin block and those only come in safety models.

The SP01 has a dust cover and will have a different balance and recoil/muzzle flip.

I'm a decocker fan and have a number that I use for carry and defense.  I also shoot limited major with a TSO in uspsa.  If I was running cz, I'd make a decocker shadow 2 optic ready.   You'd get to start at half cock and get the benefit of a shorter reset without the firing pin block.  You could run it in CO or production divisions.

Cheers,
Toby
