Taking my VZ 61 to the range today for the first time. I have read the manual, and it says to move the safety from "0" to "1" (single shots) before cocking the gun. My usual procedure on a firearm (rifle or pistol) is to cock it with the safety on. Is there a reason why the VZ 61 needs to be cocked with the safety off, or does it matter? I realize this might be a quirk in translation from Czech.
TIA for replies.
