Default RE: Handgun Questions

Bulzeye: "I found that with the safety on(up), when I went to push it down to the fire position, I tended to go too far. It wouldn’t actually decock the pistol, but when the trigger was pulled, the firing pin block from the decocker was in place preventing the gun from firing. When faced with an intruder, this would be bad. "Click" is NOT the sound you want to hear."

I will take your word for it, as I was not aware of this problem; my experience with the PT92/99 series was with pre-decocker models before 1991-92, but both of my pistols functioned flawlessly, including use with Ramline mags with 18 round capacity.

(But then most folks would probably carry a DA Auto in hammer-down mode anyway...my 1911A1 upbringing just respects a DA auto with cocked/locked capability, I guess..) :-)
