...shopping long enough that I feel comfortable I'm not asking total noob questions. And I've used the search feature. So here goes.
What's with the Shadow bushing and short reset trigger that cost more than the gun? I've built some precision rimfire guns, and I understand Kidd 2 stage trigger costing what it does every time I shoot the rifle. I have Volquartsen parts in my .22 pistols and a Geissele in my AR, I'm not opposed to spending money and I appreciate a crisp trigger. But a $350 bushing makes no sense to me from a machining perspective alone, and while my experience is limited, I don't remember their trigger being bad. I say this largely hoping to be talked into it, and being wowed. But the price certainly does sting.
Secondly, I like a decocker. My carry guns are Walter P99s, in the AS configuration and I love having a DA/SA w/decocker. This CZ75 will be for target and possibly competition. I see that the trigger I want isn't available in the decocker version. Is this trigger so good that a decocker should be a deal breaker? If it makes operating the gun that much better, I can live with a manual safety.
Another question about investment... Why does a CZ 75 Shadow cost less as a complete new in box firearm, than as a base gun, without even sights, grips, or a trigger? Wouldn't it be smarter to just buy the gun and add any work you wanted? Pricing is just confusing to me, and I want to be sure I'm not missing something. Because I often am.
Thanks, and I look forward to you guys helping me get over the CZ learning curve.
