I don't own a CZ decocker. I do shoot a decocker Sig
Everything I've read from sources I have full confidence in says the CZ D triggers can be  so close to safety versions , it takes a  pro shooter to feel any difference.

The CZ decocker has a couple more parts in the action.  CZs already have lots of parts.  Not the easiest to DIY tune/repair. 
One argument for the DA/SA safety version is that it can be fired/carried in the same half-cock position along with the other condition options. 

If CZ offered a  steel/metal 75 carry version to fit my preferences,   I wouldn't hesitate to get the decocker.
For range, comp.or even home defense,   a decocker offers zero benefits for me.

I think some of these "mechanical characteristics" are why some prefer the safety versions..
P. S. I have never used the safeties on my CZs.

I just picked up this OD P-01 in Texas at a gun show. It is unknown at this time many CZ shipped state side in this configuration. Model 91198


There was a limited shipment of these in the early 2000's, only 600 pieces made it here over a 3 year period. I believe these popped up in very limited numbers last year, and yes KYgunco sold out fast. If you see one buy it. Does anybody know the best night sites for this model?  ..............IN STOCK

If you look at the design closely, the decocker should potentially have a better trigger than the safety versions.  The reason I think this is the case is twofold.  First, the decocker has the sear pin run through the frame which, while making it a total PITA to disassemble, ties the sear cage to the frame eliminating sear cage movement.  Second, the hammer only uses a single side hook in SA mode which could improve the feel of the SA trigger pull by reducing the friction surface between the hammer and sear.

One of the early pre-B CZs I have has a lot of sear cage play in it and no matter how much I tune the trigger, it will always have just a bit of wonkiness to it when the sear cage moves at the beginning of the trigger pull.  If it were pinned through the frame like on my P01 and 40P, there would be zero movement of the cage and the trigger pull would only impact the parts that it's supposed to impact.

Back on topic:  I don't know how many of the OD P01s were made, but the one I bought seemed to languish in the LGS counter for a while before I bought it.  I think they had a second one as well.
