and Robinson said, 'That's what I was thinking. This new GTS model should seem pretty natural to a 1911 shooter. De-cocking when coming down off the target will be the same motion as engaging the thumb safety on a 1911 as well.'
Now I am seeing that this could work out well. I am not a 1911 shooter so these perspectives did not occur to me.
This also has a 1 piece firing pin, which anecdotally, I've heard allows you to drop another pound off the hammer spring with the same reliability, IE a 12lb instead of a 13 etc
I'm definitely interested. I haven't picked up a 92X just because my 92A1 / Wilson grips / X300U package doesn't need any real improvement. But this might be enough to add another 92 over.

The more I think about this, the more appealing the concept is. I don’t shoot 92s as well as P series sigs or PX4s, but I still have a soft spot for them. A decocker that mimics engaging the safety on a 1911, and that doesn’t constantly whack my strong hand thumb during recoil sounds pretty nice.
I think its smart that to decock the gun, the lever must be pushed up instead of down to preclude the chance of accidentally decocking the gun while shooting. It's actually why I like the 92G having the decocker on the slide compared to other pistols with the decocker on the frame. No chance of accidentally activating it while shooting. While it's never happened to me on my USP's, it's something I think about. I have had it happen to me on a CZ.
