My sentiments exactly. I really like the feel of the CZ 75B in my hand, but I have a hard time reaching the trigger in double action mode, and I find the thumb safety difficult to actuate if I plan on using the pistol as a single action only.The Lone Haranguer wrote,
It shortens the DA pull stroke and reach, which is otherwise very long for me, and operates just like the PCR I already have. Also, the standard safety on B models is not well placed or shaped for my thumbs.
I’m looking into buying a CZ-75B. All of my automatics are SA w/o decocker except a DA Makarov (terrible DA trigger pull). Does the DA w/ decocker provide additional value for the user or is the option primarily personal preference?
I don't like decockers. I don't like anything being done automatically that I may or may not want done. When I put the safety on, that's what I want done. If I want the hammer lowered, I'll do it manually. I don't want my gun or anything else trying to do my thinking for me.
I have always wondered why there is a DA/SA version with a safety. Do they really expect people to manually lower the hammer on a live round and carry that way?
I bought my 75b on the spur off the moment. Given that all I use it for is the range, I would choose the SA next time.
Yes. Why not? It has a FP safety that requires trigger pull let the hammer move forward if that is the concern.

I don't mean to pick on you, Furncliff, because I have seen this sort of thing written many times before. Why would a single action only (CZ 75B SA) be more appropriate for the range, but not for CC? I have seen:
"If it were a range toy ..."
"If it were a sporting gun ..."
"If I weren't going to carry it ..."
"...I would get the SA."
Yet nobody hesitates to carry a Hi-Power or a 1911. I get that you can carry a standard CZ-75B cocked and locked, but by all accounts the SA trigger is better out of the box. Why not buy a CZ-75B SA for CCW???

The average shooter/CCP holder isn't muscle trained to swipe off a safety before firing. It takes lots of practice, especially under duress.
