I never said the two had anything to do with one another! Your lack of understanding that doesn’t surprise me you lower hammers manually. As I said....FOOLHARDY!

Very few people that shoot CZs competitively have decockers on them. The Shadow 2 specifically is designed for USPSA Production where you must start decocked, and it does not have a decocker.
Guess what you have to do in order to do that?
Yep, just like how people prefer Series 70 1911s over 80.
Anyways, the point I was trying to make was, there's a crap ton of people out there thumbing their CZs down perfectly safely. You just need to do it the right way...
-Keep it pointed in a safe direction
-Put your thumb between the hammer and the firing pin
-Keep it pointed in a safe direction
-Pull the trigger only long enough to capture the hammer off the sear with your thumb, don't hold it down the whole time
-Keep it pointed in a safe direction
-Once you catch the hammer, ease the hammer down to the decock notch.
-Most importantly, keep it pointed in a safe direction
That being said, my DA/SA gun of choice (HK USP) has a decocker :P
Just got back from shooting ~100 rounds through the CZ, I need to adjust the sights a bit and get a lot more practice in as my own skills are a bit rusty, but the gun does its part.

Shot from ~15 yards, first mag through it. Now I just need to get another 500 rounds of practice ammo to bring up my proficiency. :)
UMMM Not to criticize, but take a good look at one of the bullseye shooter references that analyses your groups. As I read your target I see some that appear to be from dropping you hand low (roughly 6 o'clock) as the shot fires and many others (low left, roughly 7 o'clock). I have a factory built Shadow in SA I have to admit it has the best trigger of ANY handgun I've ever shot. BUT it is very easy to over-power the trigger and jerk a shot or more fun yet double while recovering from recoil! Before you adjust the sights review your basics! Typically I have to practice for a month before I can do well with it in a match.
I’m not sure exactly what you are after.(or, rather implying with that). Do
I think the 1911 is a great firearm? Of course. It’s design has spawned probably 99% of all other autos. (Tilting barrel locking action). I build 1911s & I’ve owned several. Currently I have only one though..the last one I built in fact. And I set up specifically for 45 Super. But I don’t prefer carrying a 1911. I carry & prefer a striker fire pistol. I also prefer 9mm over anything else, for carry.
So, did I just shatter your entire narrative? I guess the implication was that I am one the “1911 or NOTHING” crowd? LOL. Nope! Wrong one sport.
