Kevinch,
I think what blind meant was that if you thumb the safety down to hard, it will decock the hammer on the PT. Then you will be back in DA. My preference for carry is a firearm without a manuel safety. When I practice with my PT or my USP V1, I have dropped the hammer while disengauging the thumb safety.

I own a 92G Elite, 92G Elite II and a PT92, I definetly can tell a difference in accuracy. The the Elites are more accurate. The Berretas have been 100% reliable. I have had only one problem with the Taurus, the trigger bar became disconnected and failed to drop the hammer. Upon review, it appeared the problem had been caused by a bad grip panel (too much space in the trigger bar channel, the aftermarket grips were installed by the previous owner). Replaced the grips and have not had another problem.
