But just had a question, I haven't shot my 1076 yet, so if the gun is loaded with a bullet in the chamber and the decocking lever is pulled, does that simply decock the lever and nothing more or will it fire if you pull the lever. Maybe this is a stupid question, but I am very, very new to this gun and don't want to learn the hard way. Thus, is the lever simply to make the gun easier and safer to carry in a firing position. Thanks.

the decocking lever on the side of the frame is the ONLY safe way to lower the hammer on a chambered round. Keep your finger off the trigger and operate the lever and the hammer will be uncocked and released to its rest point without firing the pistol (assuming all is working properly and the decocking is performed properly by keeping the finger off the trigger).
Always point in a safe direction when decocking.
