I was carrying a P365XL with a safety and just wasn't comfortable with it. Switched to a HK P30SK DA/SA w/ decocker and no safety. Very comfortable with that. To each their own.
Lots of folks like and safely carry striker fired guns. If that's what you like have at it.After thinking more about this. If majority considers a striker unsafe then a decocker is unsafe for the same reason. Only a manual safety is really safe then. Because why would a decocked pistol with maybe a slightly longer pull (maybe the same pull). be any safer than a striker???
In the world of auto's, the folks that compete with the CZ75 family of guns (Tanfoglio's etc), manually lower the hammer on the range all the time, but probably don't carry those guns defensively, so they probably don't think it's a big deal (for what it's worth, we have this current thread https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/uspsa-ro-killed-in-ad.878033/ ) since they are just range guns.I’m surprised I haven’t had many responses on the fact that I’m considering the Rami with the manual safety that only engages with The hammer back, and then training to see if I’m going to carry it in cond 1 or manually decock it. Which most would probably consider unsafe.

It's called "Condition 2" because it gives you two chances to have an ND -- once while lowering the hammer, and once while recocking it.I'm not going to choose a gun without a decocker, that I intend to carry with the hammer down.
If it's a DA/SA gun, I prefer decockers. On the other hand, I don't have a problem with single action autos carried in Condition 1 with the hammer cocked and the safety engaged. I'm a big 1911 fan, but I pretty much never put the gun into Condition 2 (round chambered, hammer down).
I wouldn't choose a striker fired gun, but if that's what you prefer and are used to, you should probably stay with that.
Apparently you can't get a two pound trigger pull on a decocker CZ.
Decocker for me.
Safer overall design, IMO.
You'd be wrong. My PCR with a CGW pro package and minor polishing of the trigger bar and hammer strut measured a 1.5lb trigger pull with a Lyman electronic trigger gauge. Just a tad light for CCW.

As a CZ fanboy, the Rami makes no sense to me at all. It weighs just as much if not more then a Pcr does, with the extended mag, its the same size as a Pcr.
