Safety mod for cocked & locked?

Post by breilley »

Hey guys. I've been wondering these days about the safeties on our beloved little pistols.
The safety drum has two ovoid depressions for the detent plunger to sit in. I seem to recall that the depressions were in fact spaced widely enough that a third depression could be put between them, closer to "decock" than "fire"(i.e. over the "hump" past which the hammer is held rearward). This third position would allow the pistol to safely be carried "cocked and locked". The safety has already been rotated far enough to push the disconnector down, so pulling the trigger would not result in a discharge. It has not, however, been rotated far enough to completely depress the disconnector and relieve the mainspring. The pistol would then remain cocked, but safe from negligent discharge by drop or inadvertent trigger pull.

The only downside to this, at least as far as I can see, is the potential legal "discomfort", should the pistol ever be involved in a ND, defensive situation, or what-have-you. Courts have been known to look disfavorably upon those who think they know better than the original engineers :)

Tell me what you think!

I don't recommend grinding on any part of the pistol or changing any put of the gun , except springs , there are not that many part's for them
