I'm not new to firearms but I'm relatively new to Sigs I suppose. I have shot several over the years on several different occasions. A couple months ago I found a great deal on a p226 tactical that I couldn't pass up. I have owned mostly HKs and 1911s and the occasional Beretta. I'm used to an extremely high hold, resting my thumb on the manual safety of a 1911. If I do the same kind of thing on my 226, of course, the slide will not lock back when the magazine is empty. I can't seem to find a comfortable place for my thumb to rest while I am firing and thus keep adjusting my grip. This is unacceptable.
So how do you more experienced Sig guys grip your guns? I would like to find the best way to grip my p226 and practice until I feel comfortable shooting it. Pictures would be much appreciated if possible.
Thanks, Sancho
