-Sights: the newer CZs like the P01 Omega have the rear sight extend all the way back. Most aftermarket sights such as Dawsons will do this for you
-field strip: personally the CZ way of field stripping is my favorite of any gun, but that is probably just my bias. If you are not aware, to field strip you:
1. Eject magazine, rack slide and inspect it is clear
2. Placing left thumb in trigger guard for leverage, use left fingers to pull slide back so notches line up (if this is hard, cock gun first)
3. Holding mag in right hand, bash the slide stop
4. Release slide, remove slide stop and slide, etc.
Having said all that, the decocker getting in the way of your grip is a serious issue. You need to either change your grip or sell the gun, no sense fighting it when there are so many other options on the market.
For recoil the gun might just not fit your hands well, in which case I would probably just sell it. Or you could try different grips, I find palmswell grips make a big difference for me.
The P01 Omega has a longer sight radius, easier to work on, and decocker is much flatter.
P07 has all of the above, plus a slightly meatier slide and really soft recoil, but is a tiny bit bigger.
