| When you decock a Sig what keeps the hammer from contacting the firing pin ? |
|
Quoted:
When you decock a Sig what keeps the hammer from contacting the firing pin ? There is an intercept notch when the hammer is decocked using the decocking lever. The hammer is physically blocked from contacting the firing pin. Even if you were to drop the pistol on the hammer, it would not fire. When the pistol is then cocked, the block moves out of the way, allowing the hammer to drop on the pin. There is a slight difference in older (pre-1994) classic series SIGs, where by the hammer rests at a slightly different position, but essentially the same effect. |

I believe only the older spur hammer P220 didn't have this...the P226, P228 and forward always had the safety intercept notch... Bill |
