Default CS9 Conversion

I'm looking at a CS9 that's DAO but has a safety lever. Is this a conversion or factory origional? Can it be converted to traditional DA or decocker only?

I'm going to go out on a limb and raise the likelihood that you are looking at this particular gun:

Smith & Wesson Chiefs Special, Blue CS9 : Semi-auto at GunBroker.com

I saw it and immediately noticed the error in the item description. That gun is a normal Chiefs Special 9mm with traditional double action (i.e., DA/SA). If it had been converted to DAO there would not be the decocker lever. Still, that's a good looking pistol! If I didn't have two already I'd think about it. Good luck!

Likely the seller does not know the difference between DA/SA and DAO

Hi.I have a CS9 that I bought NIB and had converted to DAO because I am a long time revolver shooter.The DAO doesn't have a decocker so I haven't a clue what you are looking at.I would guess that you are looking @ a regular CS9 that is a DA/SA configuration with the lever acting as the decocker and safety....God Bless.....Mike
