Excalibur, TAM, all:

Thanks for the information.

Can someone comment on the operation, pros/cons
of decockers? My assumption is that they safely
drop the hammer on a live round without firing it.

What is the safe operation of a decocker in order to
unload a firearm?

Anyone:
In some previous discussion on the forum, someone mentioned
that a 1911 in Condition 1 may appear dangerous to some,
with the hammer cocked back.

But that a striker-fired weapon with one in the pipe is essentially
in the same ready-to-fire condition, but without the strong visual
cue as the 1911.

Can anyone please comment on the "safety" mechanisms involved
in a 1911 manual safety vs. a manual safety on a striker-fired
firearm? Are they each as effective at preventing the weapon
from firing?

Thanks in advance.

SIA
