Will a decocker/safety version ever be made? May not be possible.
That’s what I’ve wanted for a long time now.
Like the 80x.
I’ve spent a lot of time carrying TDA guns, but I’ve come to appreciate a manual safety. It’s not a deal breaker, but it would be a nice feature to have.
AIWB, off body carry (not ideal, but you never know), “admin” handling, etc.
I understand why the concept is not a popular one, and there are options like the 92 and some HKs if it’s a must have.
I have a lot of reps with the slide mounted safety, and I don't think it woyld be easy for me to change to the frame safety. I do okay with a 1911, but thats a different critter.

Between the different manual of arms, compact and non compact, RDO options... the 92 series is the best it's ever been. There is a 92 for everyone.
And it looks like the plastic fantastic Px4 is moving along a similar path.
I'm sure it's a big catalog for Beretta to produce. I hope that the catalog stays the way it is for awhile. Because it's amazing.
I was perfectly happy using the slide mounted decocker- in fact, I really like it. The only reason I'd get this instead is the right side G model deococker "drum" and lever printed a bit in tee shirts for me.
