The safety only being a decocker is incorrect. It is also a disconnect from the trigger. If you pull the trigger with the safety in the fire position you will notice a box lift up from the slide in front of the rear sight. That box is a firing pin safety that does not disengage unless the trigger is pulled. The manual safety is a decocker yes, however, it is also a trigger disconnect and it also rotates the pin that is placed in between the firing pin and the hammer. So basically while the safety is engaged you can not accidentally pull the trigger, and the hammer will not accidentally hit the firing pin. This safety makes it impossible for the firing pin to move even when dropped or kicked around.
