[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 3070626, member: 15253"] Okay, let me try again. On a traditional CZ-75 (the model I'm guessing the Shadow is based upon), you rack the slide to cock the hammer, then set the manual safety to "[B]safe[/B]", and the gun can be carried cocked and locked like a 1911 or a Browning Hi Power, with a short, crisp single action trigger pull. [B] OR,[/B] you rack the slide to cock the hammer, leave the manual safety on "fire", then, while controlling the hammer with your thumb, you very[B] carefully[/B] pull the trigger while slowly lowering the hammer to its resting position. This will leave the hammer resting on a loaded chamber, ready to be pulled thru the long double action trigger stroke of a traditional double action gun. There is no decocker, which is why you have to lower the hammer by hand--carefully!!--to get that traditional DA/SA trigger pull. This is part of the mystique of the original CZ-75--it allowed the user to carry it as a cocked and locked single action,[B] OR[/B] hammer down on a loaded chamber like a traditional SA/DA gun. The decision as to which carry mode to use is left up to the user, but the CZ-75 is one of the few guns that offers the user such a[B] choice.[/B] [/QUOTE]
