Slide Mounted Decocker Only

[xcpd69]

I'm interested in changing my 4506 ambi safety over to a decock only type where after dsecocking, the lever returns to "FIRE."

Can anyone tell me the parts and part numbers needed and the specific names of the parts? Pictures also helpful. I'm ASSuming there are no machining operations involved, just parts replacement and minor fitting to ensure the hammer drop is safe.

Thanks in advance.

As I recall, converting the pre-TSW models to decock only can only be done at the factory, if at all. Hopefully, someone here can clarify it for you.

a new decocker body that has the clearance for the coil spring will be required/fitted.

since the coil spring end is turned towards the slide, a hole/clearance is needed on the slide to secure the spring for the auto decock return.

Since there may be issues with the new decocker body on the already fitted levers, I believe this is a factory installed item. Not sure if they will sell the part unless authorized to install.

here is the auto decocker off my CQB

look at the slide decocker area. you can verify if different. there is a hole for the spring to lock in

Thanks, that is just what I was looking for. I cannot make out the hole or clearance for the spring in the photo. Is it like a notch to engage the leg of the spring visible, in line with the shaft of the body? Sort of like a weird keyhole, with the body being the key and the spring for the "tooth?"

I'm aware of the need to fit the levers and the restricted status of the parts. That has already been taken into consideration. Greatly appreciate the photo.
