Post by: jaybet on November 01, 2012, 02:02:04 PM: There are any number of Sigs that allow cocked and locked with the hammer down, first shot being double action, followups in single action. That would be any model DA/SA with the decocker. My P2022 does that, I think the 226, 229, maybe 220.

The P220 also comes SAO- no decocker and I think that's cocked and locked with a thumb safety. BUT that's .45. I'm not sure if the 9mm comes in that configuration.

Post by: Bic on November 01, 2012, 03:24:04 PM: OK thanks guys, I should have been more specific. I was hoping for something like a 226.

Post by: RTFM on November 02, 2012, 08:18:26 AM: So it's a standard 226 with the addition of a thumb safety?

Is carrying it with the safety off an option (same as a 226) or is it an ALL THE TIME it is loaded safety?

(I like the ideas of external safety's and this interesting to me.)

* * * EDIT - did some more reading they call it a SINGLE ACTION trigger- so I'll guess its an always on safety when loaded .... sort of a 1911'esque SIG P226

Post by: Gcacher on November 02, 2012, 09:08:25 PM: I choose the Sig P229 because it could be carried with one in the chamber with the hammer down (decocked). Gives me 13. First shot is DA other are SA. No safety needed.

I previously carried a S&W .357 revolver. This is the same, except twice the rounds before reload.

Post by: saltydogbk on December 19, 2012, 05:58:09 PM: The Sig P938 is advertised as a "cocked and locked" gun. I will be able to testify more on this in about a week...
