That is not the case with my Taurus 809. You can cock the hammer and leave the safety on. The safety can be activated while the hammer is dropped in DA mode as well.Liberty wrote:The safety doubles as a decocker.

It would be helpful to know the SA and DA trigger pull weights. If the SA is close to Glock's 5.5 pounds, that might change the answer on relative safety.
