I guess I don't want either...
I'm happy with my 6906 and am looking to find a 469/669 to join it. (In fact, I found a 469 last week at a gun show for $375, but the yahoo who owned the table was too busy on his cell phone talking about the .50 cal he had found to notice the cash burning a hole in my pocket!)
However, I've become more conservative as the years go by and I yearn for a spurred hammer. I learned SA/DA years ago on a Walther P-38/P-1 and S&W 39, always hit the safety and my off-hand thumb on the hammer so I could lower it. I know the decocker is perfectly safe, but it gives me the willies watching the hammer drop.
Is a new 59xx spurred hammer a drop-in proposition or does it require fitting?
While I'm at it, I may replace the ambidextrous safety with a single sided version. Is that a kitchen table job? I reasonably capable when it comes to common pistol work.
I know the company would do both jobs, but hate being without my favorite 9mm while the work is being done.
