Rule book indicates its shooters discretion.
92 has external hammer and external safety.
You have the option of safety engaged or disengaged when the hammer is down.
If the hammer is cocked, then a manual safety must be engaged, and you can't do that with a 92 unless it's a really old one with frame-mounted safety.
No cocked-hammer starts in SSP, regardless.
