Re: To chamber or not to chamber

I think that others have met with much harsher responses for identical questions. Maybe we are becoming more compassionate and less judgemental in our old age. ;-)

That's an interesting observation. I'll have to think about that. :headscratch

Recommend working the decocker with the weapon UNLOADED to see how it operates. Read up on it as well. When I use the decocker on mine, after chambering a round (or during testing) you can see the entire striker mechanism rotate away from the hammer drop. The hammer drops with normal force, but the firing mechanism just isn't there.

Test it at the range repeatedly as well, until you are satisfied with it. Normal safety rules always apply.

You're good to go.
