I have this problem with my 226.
Unfortunately not found any solutions. The best tip I've seen is from Kyle Lamb and just treat it as a malfunction. Use your normal grip and when you get a click, tap, rack and move on. |

Not the answer you want to hear, but when our officers do this it's treated as a training issue and we work with them on readjusting their grip.
Anecdotally, it seems to me that we have fewer instances of it happening since we transitioned to the E2 grips on our 226's. Maybe rent a 226/220 with E2 grips and see if you have the same issue? I've got large hands and the E2 grips are my favorite by far. |

Maybe see if Sig will sell you the lower profile Legion slide stop. I've considered doing that with mine but I've managed to mostly fix my grip.

This is how Kyle Defoor demonstrated shooting with a Classic series. I switched to using this grip years ago. It works with every pistol.

Got away from a P229 for this reason. Reworking muscle memory on my grip for one gun wasn’t worth it when I shoot other pistols so well. Tried a double stack P227?
Running the P320 I haven’t had this issue, think they still make them in 45. |

I guess I keep my thumb tucked in. This has never been an issue with decades of P220 use for me.
OP is damaged.

Buy a p224 slide stop. Same slide stop as used on the legion. It’s low profile, and can be found a few places. Midwest gun works or eBay, midway USA etc. I have them on my p229s. P224 fits 226/229

I have the same problem OP. Large hands do that and years of riding a 1911 thumb safety don’t help!
When I took classes with my P226 I either adjusted my grip to avoid riding the slide stop or just paid real attention to the gun while shooting strings. The advantage of the Sig location for slide stops is you can get wicked fast on reloads - it’s right there, you get the mag in and don’t even have to go over the top, you just mash the slide stop/release and you’re back on target. |
