Your pistol will still operate in DA/SA mode but will have NO MANUAL SAFETY!!!
Decocking the hammer will require you to press the trigger while lowering the hammer with your thumb. 
While us revolver guys have been doing that since the late 1800's, it is kinda frightening to some people.
As it involves removing one of the safety devices, it would be wise to proceed with caution and give this some real thought.
If you choose to do it, I can provide you with details.
Prepare for gasps of horror to follow.

Thanks for the awesome info, man. I generally like to tinker and like the 4566TSW so much that I'm willing to do the bit of research and hopefully find the couple parts necessary. I watched a detailed slide disassembly video (linked below) and removing the Decocker/safety assembly appears to be relatively easy if I buy some punches.
I'd appreciate if you'd help me with more details and what all is required.
