Does Shadow 2 Compact Safety still operate, hammer dropped to DA mode?

[Vinny]

Question for someone with a new Shadow 2 Compact:
If you (carefully) lower the hammer to engage DA mode, does the Manual Safety still operate??

I now have decockers on my SP-01 Tac and P-01, but if I recall correctly my original SP-01 with manual safety de-activated the manual safety when I lowered the hammer on a live round to engage DA/SA mode.

With the gun pointed in a safe direction, I would insert my support hand thumb between the hammer and firing pin, pull then release the trigger and gently roll my thumb until the hammer rested at partial cock thus engaging DA mode. At this point I couldn't re-engage the MS as DA is the safety and redundancy not required. IMO

Anyone know for sure??

Not on mine, MS only works with hammer back.

I just purchased a S2C.  The safety can’t be engaged with hammer fully down.  The safety can be engaged with the hammer at half cock.  According to the owners manual it is not recommended to operate the trigger with the safety engaged at half cock.

I stand corrected, Steel is correct, sorry for misinformation.

Thanks for the responses.
I was able to download the Shadow 2 Owner's Manual on-line, confirming Steel's reply.
Although the download didn't list the new Shadow 2 Compact, I'll assume it's operationally the same for the Compact.

A friend who shoots Lefty due to a RH injury wants a compact CZ-75 for carry, Optic-ready, with ambi MS.
