I looked at a CZ75BD recently and had a question about it compared to a 75B. I believe the difference is the BD has a decocker with no safety, and the B has a safety. The store owner stated that the decocker is the safety mechanism. I am not too sure about that claim.

I am not interested in concealed carry, and more interested in safe handling and shooting at the range.

What are your recommendations regarding having a safety, a decocker, etc.? Any any good recommendations on full size 9mm pistols? I have looked at the CZ75BD, Beretta M9, Springfield, the XD. Interested in heavier for less recoil.

Thanks,
Ted
