Questions for CZ75 owners!

[anand]

Hi CZ owners!
I have a CZ75B in 9mm and I have some questions, so here goes:
Q 1. What happens if I carry the pistol in the half cock position with a round in the chamber?

The user manual says to lower the hammer carefully on a loaded chamber but then, I dont like their method.
It says "pull the trigger and release the hammer slowly and gradually until it rests on the firing pin stop.Release the trigger."

Q 2.Should'nt it be like "after carefully lowering the hammer beyond the half-cock position, relase the trigger and then carefully lower the hammer the rest of the way onto the firing pin stop"?

I am aware of the firing pin block on the pistol and that it will be disengaged only when the trigger is pulled all the way.Using the manual's method, at the instant that the hammer is being rested on the firing pin,the
firing pin block is be disengaged, since the trigger is still not released.

Q 3.Considering the above, would'nt my method be safer than the method described in the user manual?
I hope I made my self clear.
Thanx,
Anand.

Your method does sound better.

But then again, why not condition 1?

IMHO, carry cocked and locked and don't worry about it. I even had mine converted to SA only.

I used to have that version and ran into the same problem, I did what you do and never had a problem. However, I now have the decocker version of the 75, at first it took some getting used to but now its a good version to have.

Jeff, what is the advantage of SAO? Is it really worth the smithing?
