I have a KSC P226R and I opened it up to see if they would employ the same Marui style safety on their Full Metal version.
Haha... No such thing! I could take out the takedown lever like the one on the real steel version and it works basically like the real steel version. NO SAFETY for KSC P226Rs just like the real steel P226.
The only safety on the P226 is the longer double action trigger pull. The Decocking lever does what it needs to do. These are better carried on "Condition Three" as this will mean that there isn't a round in the chamber. Similarly with airsoft pistols, you shouldn't carry them around in the safe zone with a chambered BB.
FYI, the takedown lever on the real steel P226 doesn't do anything at all but release the barrel and recoil spring so you can slide out the slide, barrel, and recoil spring with guide as one assembly. It is in no way connected to the trigger mechanism.
This is also the reason why the P226 has a 10lb trigger pull on DA and a 4.4lb trigger pull on SA. It's a DA/SA pistol.

The P226 is available in double/ single action or double action only semi-automatic versions. The double action type comes with a frame-mounted decocker and automated firing pin block whereas the double action only version comes minus the decocker. The decocker is used in the P226 in lieu of a safety lever, which works by lowering the hammer to the safety notch. This can be a little dangerous for people who are not used to such a safety arrangement.

That's for the real steel version. As someone said earlier, Tokyo Marui finds ways of integrating additional safety features on pistols which were never designed to have such safety features.
