Just off the top of my head, I'd wonder if the new plunger was a revision to better help prevent lateral decocking body shift (when the decock-only option was ordered as a production item).

Always something new and interesting. That feature revision wasn't in the 2010 3rd gen armorer recert. Might've just been something developed for the big CHP order.

One of the things I heard as a brand new S&W armorer, when it came to new or unexpected differences and revisions ... was, "never say never".

Thanks guys.
CHP academy gunsmith told me that feature was added at the request of the CHP to ensure that if the spring on the decocker broke, it could be manually swept up to fire.
