Manual safety or de-cocker

[matty76]

Just my 2 cents:

1) Like most have pointed out, if you want her to fire in DA, then the decocker is what you're looking for.

2) Safety -wise...... my personal opinion (and I know this is something the gun community is split on) is that the manual safety is better because the trigger is blocked and will not pull. I'm used to handling M16s so I'm very used to that concept, but I do understand why other may disagree. Many consider decocking to be safe enough because of the long pull for DA and also allows for faster response in a situation where seconds matter (as opposed to fumbling with the safety switch). For me, I have it ingrained in my mind to flick the safety off and pull the trigger, so that's what I'm comfortable with. I would suggest you discuss both concepts with your wife and have her try both types in the range to see what she would prefer. Let us know what she ends up picking. Good luck!

I am still analyzing the models but am leaning toward the 75D PCR compact with the de-cocker. I see the de-cocker as being a better safety for the gun being carried in a purse or on the body. I like the idea of having a chambered round with the hammer down for a safe carry. Does the de-cocker or any thing else prevent the hammer from being manually cocked after having been de-cocked and then fired in SA? I would like for the PCR to be able to be de-cocked and then either manually cocked for SA firing or DA firing by leaving the hammer down. I would like to have that option with the gun. Does the PCR allow for this action.

Yes, from the de-cocked position you can manually cock the trigger back for SA firing. Not sure why you'd want to, but yes you can.
