Its done millions of times per year in uspsa. Are there NDs? Sure, but that's why you're pointed into the berm. You can also check out the thumb roll method.
I pinch and lower. Shadow 2 or SP01 with a race hammer. No issue at all.
CZ: I was warned.

Honestly? I’m totally comfortable with that. Trying to make sure Mrs Occam finds all of it enjoyable and not too stressful. She’s aced cowboy shoots though, so I’m not too worried. She often shoots WAY better than I do. Pistols like this are kinda new territory for her, so we’re feeling it out. She’s comfortable with her striker fired pistol, but this just adds a new wrinkle for her to work into her habits. We’ll get there!

I'm still confused by the 'warning' from CZ Custom but it may just be a 'CYA' thing since I've never seen a CZ's thumb safety work unless the hammer was in the fully cocked position.
It's not the custom gun the Shadow II is, but it's when you want to shoot some .45ACP in IDPA CDP you pull the 97 out. (OP said "What's next"). You can always ship it off to get it custom.

CZs are nice. Have an SP-01 Tactical and P-01 that have the Cajun Gun Works treatment (about three hours work each), a 75BD, P-07 and P-09. Oh, and a Scorpion pistol that needs a few upgrades. All great shooters, probably use the P-01 for IDPA competition next year. It's my fave.

Well, I did threaten some pictures. So here's the His & Hers CZ pair we're breaking in. The Shadow 2 is mine (so far! you never know with her!), and the custom shop 75 is hers. I can think of things I really like about them both, so if they had a baby and had the best of both guns, that would be even more betterer. Never the less, photos:

I’ve been fighting off the urge of a shadow 2 since picking one up in the shop. I’ve been trying to tell myself it’s too expensive but then there are so many other cheaper pistols cz makes that I’m having trouble finding excuses to not want to get rid of my glock and buy lol.
I just don’t wanna end up with a cheaper pistol and wish I got the shadow2 in the first place.
The fear of becoming a fan boy is real.

We have the blue grip Shadow 2 in the shop. It just feels great . One day I will get a chance to shoot one .
Weird, no used ones ever come in. Wonder why.

Spoilers, no. There is nothing you can do.
Older and newer (if you will), but I’ve got a Cz50 and 82. I love them a lot. They’ve made me want everything Cz. I’ve shot a couple of 75s and I want one really, really bad. Also eyeing a Vz52 of all things (not a Cz52. Only Czech gun I’ve tried that didn’t seem right to me) and really want a Vz58. Plus a Vz24.
I’ve got the bug bad.

I totally get it. CZ's are incredibly well made, easy to shoot well, comfortable to shoot, extremely accurate...and represent one helluva value for the $$$ compared to other steel/alloy-framed pistols chambered in 9x19.
The only 'cure' for a two-year obsession was to shoot other stuff. I bought a couple of nice revolvers, picked-up a new shotgun, a 1911 and God forbid, a few polymer pistols that continue to amaze me by how great they work.
I don’t own or plan to own a CZ but that may be the best thing I’ve seen all day.

only thing im not super sure I'd like is the way the action works vs. a standard glock action.
aren't they like a double action?
it throws me off lol

Yeah, it can be tricky to move between striker fired single action systems and hammer fired DA/SA. One of the mitigating factors on these fancy-pants CZs is that the double action is incredibly easy/pleasant to use.

I've only shot one CZ, and it WAS nice. I had an STI Trojan 9mm for a few years, and it was the best out-of-the-box pistol I've ever shot. Sold it 'cause I'm not much of a pistol guy and wanted a nice .22lr rifle I had my eye on.Yeah, pick up an STI. You'll be selling your CZs to fund picking up more2:

But the STI and the CZ seem like very different types of pistols.

Waking up my earlier summer new-to-CZs thread to report that I finally got my that Shadow 2 out to an actual match. And it was a blast. Despite several hundred earlier holes in paper, I was still very pleasantly surprised at what a treat this thing is to use while running around and clanging steel targets. I need to improve my draw-through-first-DA speed, though I really can't complain about the results. AGC's inaugural Steel Challenge game the other day was the perfect no-pressure environment to give it a whirl. And though I wasn't seeing it as a competition, I actually laughed out loud when I saw the emailed practiscore results - better than I thought! No question that if I'd used my B-Flat Beretta 92 as I did my first time out, I'd have been a lot slower (with its heavy trigger, awkward safety, etc). The manual hammer let-down on the CZ wasn't an obstacle at all. What a sweet pistol! Very happy with it in action.
Glad it worked well! Ill have to try the manual decocking and practice the da first shot. I've just been going up a division and starting cocked and locked with my 75B.
Looking back in the thread regarding the safety, I seem to remember when I was putting in a competition hammer and sear that it said the safety wouldn't work the same way. I don't remember now if it was from CZ custom or CGW.

I had a Shadow 2 that I used for competition. It's gone after getting the STI.
Dammit. The whole "scratch that itch by buying a CZ so I won't want any more of them" plan is not working. You know what's a hoot? This is a hoot. Magpul 35-round mag. The Razor holo sight adds to the Star Wars feel:
