Got pretty familiar with the M9 while in the military. I won't argue the safety aspect of a decocker, whether it's more or less safe than a striker fired pistol or a cocked and locked 1911. I just like them in the "decocked" position, and flipping it as a draw. That said, I saw a thread recently that mentioned an undesirable aspect of the M9 is that the decocker is "slide mounted", vs a frame mounted being better. I know the IMI Baby Eagle, older Smith and Wesson, and some Sig's have slide mounted. It looks like the CZ-75 series has a frame mounted, but is that a true decocker or just a safety of some type? What other pistols have a frame mounted, and is it really better?Thanks!
