I think the standard CZ-75 can be carried cocked and locked but has no decocker.
That is correct and both it, the 1911 and the Browning Hi-Power have only a safety and no decocker.FergusonTO35 said:I think the standard CZ-75 can be carried cocked and locked but has no decocker.
The only guns I recall reading that this shouldn't be done with were the Walther PP/PPK/etc. series. Apparently the decocker's firing pin block could break after many, many hammer strikes and allow the gun to fire when being decocked. Most other designs better protect the firing pin during the decock operation.blume357 said:I have to disagree, but to each their own, I really like the decock function. When I first started using one I would still hold the hammer and drop it down while using the decock lever instead of the trigger... after a few years I finally just started using the lever and letting the hammer fall on its own.

From the above it appears that the decocker is an unnecessary complication
