Need advice for a 5906 decocking and magazine safety function.

Well its actually set up like the PPC9s with the decocker in the down position acting as a hammer block.
Some agencies made officers use the decocker in the down position as a safety, LASD for one. LAPD's issue holsters actually had a small leather piece that pushed the D/C on 92fs and 3rd gen S/W into the up position when you snapped the thumb break.

Also, if there is excessive wear on the frame and slide rails, the manual safety decock may not work and the sear lever may not decock the gun. Try engaging the safety lever fully down, and then pressing down firmly on the top of the slide right behind the rear sight to see if the hammer will drop.

My brother in law has a 659 with a similar issue. The safety doesn't usually drop the hammer unless its pushed very hard and sometimes not at all. If I squeeze down on the frame the hammer falls. He is the original owner, very low round count and no work has been done on it. Whats the fix for this?

Fit a new sear release lever.
