Default Decocker only/Safety decocker

Is there a visual clue that determines if a 3rd gen autoloader has a decocker only or the decocker/safety?

Sometimes, though not always, there is no dot on the frame, and sometimes, though not always there is an inscription on the slide which advises that the decocker returns to the ready to fire position and does not remain in the safe position. Unless it was a special or an LE order, they were usually shipped with the safety/decocker.

Yeah, I figured as much. It seems that for sure, a gun has the safety/decocker with the red dot, but where I am uncertain are the guns with no red dots. And I am aware of the inscription that you referenced. I am looking at a particular weapon on-line and want to know before I make a move on it. Thanks.
