CZ 75B Omega Convertable Safety Question

[Homerboy]

I know the gun is DA/SA and comes with the decocker option installed and has the safety lever in the box if you want to swap it. Putting in the safety allows for cocked and locked operation. I would have to manually lower the hammer. But can the gun still be fired in DA with the safety off? And can the safety be placed on while the hammer is down?

DA fire, yes.

Don't think so with the safety while hammer is down.

Sorry I don’t have experience with that model. I do own a DA/SA Shadow 2. The safety can only be engaged when the hammer is cocked. So cocked and locked is all you get on that one. But it seems an email to CZ USA is your best and quickest source for an answer on the Omega. I believe they were built with different purposes in mind, so they may vary.

If it works like other CZs with safeties you can't apply the safety with hammer down, but yes you can fire it in DA with the safety off... because that's the only way the DA will function. With the safety installed you will have to lower the hammer manually for a DA start.

Thanks, so unless I'm going to carry this, and I'm not, the de-cocker option is the way to go. I'm not into cocked and locked carry and not keen about lowering a hammer on a live round.

But, man, does that gun feel like it was molded to my hand!
