Those of you with this pistol, what do you prefer, safety or decocker? Presently mine has the decocker but am thinking of installing the safety.

Thoughts?

I have an original P-01 that doesn’t have the option to switch but I think the decocker is perfectly suited for its intended purpose.  I’ve never wished it had the safety.  My SP-01 Tac is the same, decocker, and for a duty-style gun I think it’s ideal.

So for carry and duty, decocker is perfect; for competition or range time, traditional safety is good.  I would trust the safety for carry as well, I just like the decocker slightly more for that.

What are you doing with it and how do you plan to carry it? Carry cocked and locked then safety. Want to use the double action first round then decocker is what you want.

You pretty much nailed it from what I was figuring. Been carrying my SA Garrison and SA-35 cocked and locked and am used to it. Putting the safety on the CZ eliminates that long double action pull for the first shot.

I CC a p01 omega, I have decockers. I like DA out of the holster

For me, the whole point of owning a DA/SA gun is to make use of the DA for hammer down carry.  You can still carry hammer down and have a DA first pull without the decocker.  But it's a lot less safe lowering the hammer by hand.

I’ve got a P-07 with the de-cocker.  I’d really like to trade it out for the safety so I could carry it cocked and locked.  However, it seems that no one has them in stock right now.

@JHMC79 I think I have two sets of Safety's from a p-07 and a p-09.  If you want one I could send you set.

Hey man, I’m much obliged.  Yes sir, I would sure take one please.  I’d be glad to pay you full retail price of one.  Thanks! @billynilly

If their safety had more of a ledge for your thumb to click it off/on, I would have done safeties. It is too thin to get a good purchase on for getting a consistant on/off. I use decockers for that reason.

All my Omega CZ's have the safeties installed.  Consistency.  The M&Ps, the FNS pistols, the 1911's, even my XD Tactical .45 acp has thumb safeties.

Been doing the cocked and locked thing since my first 1911 in 1978.  No reason to change.

Zero use for a decocker.  

I'm sure I have the deocker parts around here somewhere, but every Omega trigger gun I have was swapped to the thumb safety before I even took it to the range.

I thought I'd like the safety but switched back to decocker.  The safety was mushy, not positive like my 1911s.

I'm the other way. Zero use for a safety on anything but 1911s, HiPowers and range toys.

I have a P-09 with the decocker on it.  I love it.  It makes me much more comfortable carrying it knowing I can carry it with a round in the chamber, hammer down, and only need a long trigger pull to pop off the first round. No messing around with a safety.

Plus with some polishing and lighter springs, the double action pull can be smooth as butter. If they made a wider safety lever with more purchase for your thumb, I would be using safeties. One company did make an aftermarket lever but had issues with them not working in all P series without some fitting.

The whole reason to buy the Omega is to install the safety and carry it condition one.

The only reason I bought an Omega is the Decocker sweeps the correct way, and doesn’t slice my thumb knuckle open on a high grip like a regular p-01.

You should have everything in the box to change it to a safety gun.
Just remember to keep all the little parts you remove.

I have a PCR and p09 with a decocker. Sp01 shadow and cz75 SA have safety. Both are perfect for the intended use.

Safety.

I am not used to a safety so I have a decocker. When you decock it drops the hammer half way down and shortens the double action pull. Works for me.

I prefer decockers on DA/SA guns

I have a PCR, which is basically the same pistol, with the decocker. All of my CZ pistols have the decocker. I really like the DA pull from the half-cock position on the CZ pistols. My SP-01 Tactical is especially nice. I had a RAMI with a safety and I didn't like it. Aside from the weight, lack of a decocker was a main reason to trade it.
