Looking to start in USPSA, have some questions
OnTheFly:
--- Quote from: bkoenig on August 08, 2013, 02:39:20 PM ---I could be wrong, but I think Production starts hammer down while Limited starts with hammer cocked & safety on.
From searching teh interwebz it seems like there's a lot of debate about this.

I think this is more gun specific instead of division specific. A traditional 1911 for example has to obviously be in a different state than my XDm.
--- Quote from: USPSA Rule Book ---8.1.2
Self-loading Pistols:
8.1.2.1 “Single action” – chamber loaded, hammer cocked, and the safety engaged.
8.1.2.2 “Double action” – chamber loaded, hammer fully down or de-cocked.
8.1.2.3 “Selective action” – chamber loaded with hammer fully down, or chamber loaded and hammer cocked with external safety engaged (see Divisions in Appendix D).
8.1.2.4 With respect to Rules 8.1.2.1 and 8.1.2.3, the term “safety” means the primary visible safety lever on the handgun (e.g. the thumb safety on a “1911” genre handgun). In the event of doubt, the Range Master is the final authority on this matter.

I think 8.1.2.2 would apply to your CZ and "...hammer fully down..." says to me that it can not be half-cocked.

Chris Z:
Production Division only allows double action guns. So yes your CZ hammer has to be manually lowered before holstering. Cocked and locked can only be in Limited, Limited 10 or Open (and Single Stack)

I had a decocker until last week when I sold it and bought the safety model ;D

Have fun riding that hammer. :)
Really, IMHO, it is a production gun and should be allowed as intended to be used.
bkoenig:
CZ's are actually pretty easy to decock manually, as long as you pay attention and be careful. Not something I would want to do under duress, but I feel comfortable enough with it.
David Hineline:
I suggest you shoot limited class and shoot the gun the way you want to?
If not interested in racing, and racing guns, there is a group shooting IDPA at Big Shots in Lincoln. You can get on their email list and get copied on their shooting schedule.
