CZ SP 01 question

[Czvlad]

Total  newbie hear. I want to switch to a sp01 for SSP and production divisions.  Trying to decide between safety and decoders.  Which is better and why? Thank you

I personally prefer the safety model. There are pros and cons to each.

[Stuart]

Both will clean up to be very nice. go with the one you are most comfortable with.

That is the problem i do not  have enough experience with either one. I shot the decocker ones and never shot the safety.  I was told that decocker is better because the first pull is shorter.  But I do not know how much of a difference it really is.  I am a true DASA newbie.

My understanding is that the safety model can have a better trigger.    I shoot a Shadow and love it.   I love to grip the gun with my strong hand thumb riding the safety.    I can't do that with a metal frame CZ decocker gun.    The decocker shape and position makes it hard to get a good grip on the gun.

This is the best place for USPSA and IDPA CZ use.

They both can have very nice triggers. I prefer the Decocker model because on "make ready", you can just Decock it instead of manually lowering the hammer.

David from Cajun Gun Works said that the difference between the trigger on a worked over safety model and a worked over Decocker model would be hardly noticeable.

Gdawgs said exactly what I've heard here a number of times.
The decocker does have more moving action parts than a safety version.
This makes them just a little more complicated to work on for DIY owners and inexperienced Smith's.

JMO:  I've only used the CZ Safety versions For Comp/Range use.  The safety versions do have to be de-cocked manually on a live round.  Some are not comfortable doing this,  but it's easy to learn to do safely. 
My carry pistol is a de-cocker Sig.  I'm comfortable with either type.  The de-cocker does supply another layer of safety for carry, that A range/Comp. pistol doesn't really need.

Either can be made a fine shooting pistol.

Nice, CGW really makes the decockers sing. I have a CGW decocker, its has the nicest action of any CZ i have had the opportunity to shoot.

Congratulations on the SP01. You  should be very impressed with your new CGW shooter.
What weapon are you replacing with the SP01?

[Czvlad]

Replace you mean add lol. But I wanted to start shooting production and SSP . I tried it with g17 but just do not like the grip angle. I do really nice grip reductions on them so it's nice to shoot  but that puts me in ESP
 Took few classes  with Mike  Pannone and he turned me on to the Cz.  So I finally went for it. Really looking forward to getting the gun. Trying not to think about the wait.

And Dave is a very cool no BS guy.  After talking with him i am saving up for one of his 97

Was Mike shooting his P09?

Yes, of course adding 
I was wondering if you had used a Glock. I would like to spend some time with a G34 to see if I can shoot one.

Actually no it was p07.
Dave said that he built home a very cool p09
