Is it true a CZ-75 has no decocker?

Is it true you have to "ride" the hammer down on a live round or leave it cocked?

Yes, on the original CZ-75 or the B models, you need to either engage the safety and carry Condition 1 or lower the hammer manually, riding it down, and carry Condition 2.. The BD models do have a decocker but then you can't carry Condition 1.

Here's an old Bauska import from '86....

Like Tim said, several of the models now come in "BD" format, and some (the P-01, and PCR, notably) Only come with a decocker.

Personally, I own a lot of CZ's, and not a single one is a decocker. There's a reason (or few) for that......

I picked up a SP-01 and VZ-58 on the same day in February (I was in a Czech mood that day). Sadly I got the one with the decocker. Such a great shooting gun but I kick myself for not getting the manual safety model.

Exactly.

Templar,

Very nice collection. I have a CZ-75B as well and hope to get a VZ-58 one day. How do you like that rifle?

Not to hijack this thread any more than I already have.....

I take it that the original CZ75 and CZ75B is to be carried like a 1911? They are double action though, so you could still fire from say a condition 2 setup, round in chamber hammer down safety off?

I know some older GIs talk about carrying their 1911s in condition 2 but they would have to thumb the hammer to fire.
