USPc. In whatever variant HK calls it. Nice thing is, when you decide you don’t need a safety on a DA they sell the other variants as well. Won’t say easy swap, but it’s doable.

Plus, it will outlast you.

I can think of several, some of which have already been mentioned. One that hasn’t is the IMI Jericho 941 / Baby Eagle... comes with either a frame mounted manual safety or slide mounted decocker.

I have not seen an AREX in person, too small a market around here for such novelties.

I doubt anyone around here has one either.

I've handled an Arex. Nicely done...I want a full size in nickel w/ walnut for reasons.

I’ve got both a full size and compact AREX Rex Zero and they’re both very nice pistols. They haven’t been around long (2016?) and don’t get a lot of notoriety, but the reviews I’ve seen have all been very good. I believe the full size Rex Zero is still #1 as the best performer in the Military Arms Channel’s torture test, if you care about those wild and crazy tests. There are YouTube videos and it is pretty impressive. I’ve had mine for a while and, although I haven’t put a lot of rounds through them, they’ve been flawless. And, yes, you can set the safety in both the single and double action mode.

I forgot about Arex (and I have a an Arex Alpha). They are very nice blasters. Very similar in feel to a P series Sig but a little different mechanically.

OP if you're looking for one of those or a 92 Compact (or anything else), keep me in mind.

I have a Beretta 92 compac. It has been 100% reliable. And is still being made. All metal and alloy. But, not very compac. I like the added weight. It is scary accurate.

My Canik C-100 allows me to engage the safety with the hammer down.

I was just looking at the Rex Zero One CP (compact) today at my LGS ... all I can say is sweeet! I really liked it. I carry a lot of 1911's and,if you so choose, here's a P229 size pistol that one can carry cocked and locked. With safety engaged you can even work the slide. Fit and finish looked excellent and I saw it beat the Sig in the torture test on Military Arms Channel last night. The price was $599. Long story short, I did walk away with a new STI DVC Carry. But the Rex is still on my short list, maybe April.

I had my 2075 RAMI with manual safety done over by CZ custom and the safety now engages in either DA or SA. A fantastic pistol. I'm thinking other pistols would be the same.

How about the Lionheart LH9CN? It is a reincarnation of the Daewoo DP51 and has a unique "Triple Action" or "Double Action Plus". You can fire from TDA or push the hammer forward when in single action, resulting a long but light trigger pull. The safety can be engaged when the hammer is down in double action mode or in single action for "cocked and locked" carry.

While I don't have any personal experience with them, it appears that Bersa Thunder Pro Ultra Compact series have the frame mounted safety that functions as a decocker, as well as a safety on DA (and SA).

Hope this helps.

Have you looked at the SIG P938? It is a 9mm 1911ish with a safety. I like that I can rack the slide while in safety. It is not da/Sa though.
