[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3033542, member: 10465"] You know, mine is the same way now and I also decock my using my thumb. I have figured out that the replacement parts are intentionally a bit larger than you really need so fitting of the parts can be done in this area. In other words, if I take the spring and plungers back out, and trim a coil or two off the spring or carefully file down the safety plunger a little bit, I could make it fit a bit looser, and the safety/decocking lever would turn a little easier. However, I do not like an external safety on a pistol, unless it's a 1911, and I do not want to accidentally drive it down or push it down to SAFE by thumb pressure or otherwise when firing, so I think I will leave it alone and as is. It's very tightly held in there now, and I like that. If I decock the pistol by hand, and carry it in DA, I'm looking at about 13.5 lbs on the trigger, so I feel at least as safe as when carrying a Glock with 5.5 lbs (or less). Not that this pistol will see much time on my hip as a CCW weapon, but when I have to dress up, or when the commie spies are plotting a world takeover or something, I will be able to efficiently dispatch them with my cool and purty little Walther PPK/S.
