Hey all, I recently bought my first SIG, a 226 9mm. I love the pistol and shoot it well, but I have questions regarding the slide release and decocker controls. I have fairly large hands and have no problem with the controls on my HK USP's, 1911's or any other pistols that I shoot. However, when I grip the 226, I can barely reach the slide release and cannot reach the decocker without changing my grip. The problem seems to be the "hump" in the grip panel that surrounds the two levers which does not allow my thumb to contact them. As I bring my thumb up, the hump forces my thumb outward not allowing good contact with the decocker.
Is this a normal thing ? am I just not doing it right ??
Is the proper method to adjust your grip or use your other hand to operate these controls ??
Anyone who has had training at the SIG academy, do they address this issue ??
Thanks in advance for your responses !!
