A Decocker or decocking lever allows the hammer to be dropped on a live cartridge without discharging it, via disengaging, retracting, blocking or covering the firing pin. This eliminates the need to control the fall of the hammer, although since all mechanisms can fail it is still necessary to keep the muzzle of the gun pointed in a safe direction while operating the decocker.
