Safety Operation Question

Hey all,

I'm thinking about buying a P64 for CCW from Military Gun Supply. I was planning on replacing the springs to lighten up the DA. I have a quick question though.

Is it possible to decock the gun using the decocker and then engage the safety? So essentially the gun would be in Double Action with the Safety engaged and a round in the chamber.

Thanks!

When you use the decocker and the gun is in the safe position the trigger is not connected. Then you can put the gun in the fire position and fire double action. I don't use the safety myself because I keep my finger off the trigger and also because the da trigger on my gun is probably still around 12-15 pounds. I used the 19 pound wolf hammer spring.

Alright so it's not like a Sig's decocker then right?

After I de-cock then I have to take it off safe to fire in DA. Right?

The safety lever / decocker lever are indeed one in the same. Once you get the gun though, you'll see that the need for a safety in DA mode is well.... pointless.
