We can either use the slide to cock the gun (with safety off) and then get the lighter pull, or we can use just the trigger to get the full pull.
Yes, though please note that the firearm is meant to be carried with the hammer down, so decocked. You can thumb-cock the hammer while at the range or use the slide. Remember though that the DA first pull doesn't chamber a round for you. You still need to insert a loaded magazine, rack the slide to chamber a round, and then decock the weapon. You can carry with the safety on or off.
