I recently picked up a Beretta 92FS and I was wondering if it would be possible to convert the safety from "decock, block firing pin, and disengage trigger" to just "block firing pin and disengage trigger", to have it work as I expect a safety to work (i.e. no decock).
I figure that there are three ways to do this: modify the hammer release lever so that it is not touched when the safety is applied (i.e. file it down), modify the safety so that it doesn't touch the hammer release lever (somehow), or remove the hammer release lever altogether.
I've done some reading and I know there are versions of the 92 out there that do what I want already, but I'm wondering if I can have something like this done (or do it myself!) to my particular 92. Ideally it would be a reversible modification so I could put it back to safety/decock if I wanted to.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it, but does anyone have any thoughts or ideas?
