Method and apparatus for decocking M1911 style pistol

摘要

A system and method for providing true decocking mechanism into a 1911-style firearm is provided. A decocking lever, when pushed in one forward motion, automatically returns a cocked hammer to its resting position. The decocking lever initially pushes the firing pin forward, out of reach of the hammer, and then pushes against the sear to release the hammer in its typical fashion.
