The decocker in that CS9 wasn't actually broken... There is a chain of part that must operate together in order for the decock function to safely lower the hammer from full cock. You have the decocker body which acts against the sear release lever which in turn acts against the top of the sear to press the sear forward out of engagement with the hammer's full cock notch.
The sear release lever is the primary 'wear item' in this chain so, when a sear release lever is I'll fit or just plain worn out the weapon will fail to decock

Not my intent to sound sarcastic...
The answer is yes...when your hammer is at full cock, you lower the manual safety lever or decocker to the safe position and nothing happens....The hammer remains at full cock.
Briefly...you cannot decock the weapon by actuating the manual safety/decock lever.
In such a case the only way to lower the hammer is by pulling the trigger

Nope, your just unable to decock the hammer without pulling the trigger.
You just have to stay on top of your safe manual of arms practices. There is a greater risk of an ND in this case since clearing and making the weapon safe becomes more complex. Assuming the magazine disconnect safety has not been disabled/removed, you'd have to deload the arm... Then with an empty magazine inserted close the breech and pull the trigger to lower the hammer. Greater risk of an ND there in my opinion.
Your firing pin inertia block safety is still there so the only way the gun can go Bang! is someone pulled the trigger.
