Was your SP-01 capable of firing in double action mode on the first
round, i.e., round in the chamber, hammer down?



I bought my CZ new from the CZ Custom Shop and before it was shipped to
my local gun store, I had the Custom Shop convert it to SAO, among other
"customizations," so it had no "double action mode." You had to rack the
slide to put a round in the pipe and that, of course, would cock the
hammer. At that point, if you wished, you could flick on the manual
safety, and "carry" cocked and locked. I never did that. I carried in
Condition 3 when I carried. Usually, though, the pistol was kept in
Condition 4...no mag in the pistol, no round in the chamber, hammer
down, aka "idiot proof safe."

I happened to "fondle" a new CZ 75 the other day at my LGS. This was the
standard model, not an SP-01 Shadow like I had, and with a decocker
instead of a safety. DA/SA. Still a great pistol, even in fully stock form.

These days, when I'm not using my 9mm pistol at the range, it rests in
my side of the bed nightstand with a suppressor attached. It's a Walther
PPQ Q4 TAC M2 (ahh, nomenclature!), this one:

I put a red dot on the pistol. Very nice trigger.
