Just curious to see if their is any interest? Thinking about asking Henning if he could make it happen.
Just curious, why?
Safety
You can slowly put hammer down, of course pistol pointed down range. If you plan on carrying and want first shot double action. I carried the Witness in D/A mode first pull.
The only feature I like better on the 1006.
1006 for sure.
No interest. And I would hate to see EAA go away from the current design.
I was always taught not to trust mechanical safeties. De-cockers can fail. Problem with them I see is the lull the user into a false sense of security, meaning in the rare instance they do fail, it is more likely they gun will not be pointed in a definitively safe direction.
I tend to view de-cockers as un-needed as the same rules apply whether using a manual or automated de-cock process. When I decock my Witness guns I am fully cognizant that I am about to release the hammer on a loaded gun. I carefully select a solid backstop to point the gun at (usually the fireplace stack in my house), positively apply rearward pressure to the hammer completely releasing the sear, depress the trigger (which I can tell by feel is no longer acting to retain the hammer hooks), lower the hammer about 20 degrees of rotation, clearing the hammer hooks past the sear, and release the trigger, thereby re-engaging the firing pin block. At this point I then gently lower the hammer the rest of the way.
I control the process completely and depend on no mechanical device to prevent firing.

That sums up a one of the top reasons I like my Glocks so much. Simplicity, yet still perfectly safe as long as no finger is inside the trigger guard until being ready to intentionally fire the weapon.
