But it has countervailing oddities.
Like a decocker on a SAO. That can fail and fire.

It was fun to take apart and look at the mechanism. But ammo was expensive, and the slide cracked pretty quickly even though I was pretty careful never to fire any of the “hot” surplus ammunition..
Cool design
As I recall, no FTEs or FTFs until that slide cracked - I think right at the ejection port.

Would it fail and fire even with the firing pin block in place. It’s been a long time, but my vague recollection is that people were removing the firing pin block because the trigger pull so heavy with it in place.But it has countervailing oddities.

The decockers failed on some of those guns and became a second trigger. They did a change on them to fix the problem. As I recall, a 'Z' was stamped somewhere on the gun to indicate the fix had been done.
If I recall correctly (and it is quite possible I do not in this case), the decocker relied on the firing pin safety to prevent a discharge during the decocking operation and the problem was that it wouldn't hold up to that kind of repeated hammering.
