Hey folks,
Just got a new Thunder 380, black with nickel slide, lovely pistol. I have other pistols but never have really carried one concealed. My wife and I will be doing so and she will qualify with the Bersa.
I am, however, not real trusting of dropping a hammer using the decocker on a live round. Has anyone ever had a discharge while doing so? I see the physical block, I know the hammer doesn't touch the pin, but is there any chance that the lever could be halfway activated and accidentally released, having the bar snap back while the hamer is travelling down, or any other accidental malfunction, or is this truly a very good decocker design? Id prefer my wife to carry with one in the pipe, safety engaged, rather than to have to fumble with racking a slide.
Not looking for opinions really, looking for solid data if such exists, or personal experience with decocking on live rounds, especially if you have been doing so for a long time.
Thanks!
