I once nearly got to buy an early Beretta 92, with the frame safety on the left side only and mag release down on the left side of the grip, close to the butt.

Taurus introduced the Tri-Action decocking safety in the early '90s, I believe. Before that, the hammer had to be lowered with thumb or fingers after pressing the trigger. I've read complaints about the Tri-Action safety where shooters carrying Condition 1 have accidentally dropped the hammer to DA mode when wiping the safety off forcefully.
