Hammer position

[jsl]

The decocker on the p-01 places the hammer in the half cocked position. I've been told this is an unsafe condition to carry in.  What say you.

[dusty10]

Perfectly safe.

Thanks for the info.

should be fine..its where all CZ decockers drop the hammer too.
in conjunction with the firing pin block, it is perfectly safe.

there are some tests that are done to these pistols that have been dropped at a certain distance. The hammer will not fall on the firing pin if dropped, and there is a pin block..so dont worry.

Agreed, perfectly safe.

Out of curiosity...what was your major concern, dropping it on the hammer or accidental trigger pull?

[jsl]

Accidental trigger pull was the concern.  It seemed to me that the half cocked trigger pull was long and heavy enough to be safe but I'm a novice and wanted the opinion of the more experienced.

I'm not worried about carrying my P-01 half-cocked, b/c like you said the trigger is long and heavy enough to still be safe.

My other favorite carry piece is a CZ 82. It's trigger is so glassy smooth that I won't carry it cocked & locked, b/c I'm worried the saftey will get brushed and disengaged, leaving it too easy for an accidental trigger pull.

Your judgment is very good. The main advantage of the double action for the first shot is to avoid an accidental discharge(AD).  I was just reading in Sig Sauer History that the Swiss and Swedish government procurement specified this double action feature in their service pistol for safety reasons.
