With that being said has anyone ever applied a decocker to a single action only gun?
Every single time I lower the hammer....
The tool I most often use to do this is called "my thumb and trigger finger"
Could someone make a "decocker" and put it in an SA pistol? Sure. Has someone, somewhere, done it? I don't know, probably.
But it seem like a rather moot point to me. Now, lots of people will be quick to jump in about how
dangerous it is to lower the hammer by hand...
And, I will freely admit there is an element of risk, if you do it wrong.
But is a mechanical system which drops the hammer with a switch, button, or lever REALLY "safer"??? Remember, anything (and everything) mechanical CAN break. And, when something breaks, it rarely tells you, in advance that it has.
I know of one pistol, with a decocker/safety, which broke, in just the right way, that the pistol would fire, when the safety was put ON, BUT, ONLY when the gun was held in the normal (level) shooting position. If it was tilted, the gun would NOT fire when the safety was put on.
A freak occurance? yep. But it DID happen so its not impossible it could happen again, to someone else.
IF you don't point the pistol in a safe direction when you decock it (no matter HOW you decock it) then you are not being safe with the pistol, and if it fires and injures anything or any one, it IS your fault. Doesn't matter if its your thumb slipping or a freak mechanical failure of the built in system, its still YOUR fault. Period.
