Safety on TM Sig P226
 

Since I can't read Japanese, can anyone explain to me where the safety is on my new Sig Sauer P226 by Tokyo Mauri

Your finger...other than that there isn't any. There is the decocking lever which is in front of the slide release...sort of a safety feature but the gun can still be fired (just a much longer trigger pull).

The long, heavy, double-action trigger pull IS the safety.

Push the slide release lever inward from the right side while holding the gun... That is the safety.. not very practical but thats it.

why would you need a safety?

I was just curious. My Glocks and DE have a safety, just seems odd that the Sig wouldn't.

I was also thinking along the lines of rules for games. Aside from the clip not being in the gun, I would think the safety should be on sorta thing

+1 ... this is the safety

Can you elaborate on those directions...tinkering w/ my 226 here and I can't figure out what your saying or how it works. I was always told there wasn't a safety!

Ok, you have the slide release lever on one side, it goes right through the lower body.. u can see the end of it on the right side of the gun. Push that in with ur finger, it will slide about a mm or 2 inward while the lever is up, ie the gun is in working mode. This slides accross and blocks the trigger arm, u wont be able to pull the trigger after. Try it, youll get it.

The Sig 226 does not have any external safeties and neither do Glocks, Look. It. Up. There seems to be a semantics issue here. I can fill the receiver with cement so that absolutely nothing moves and call that a safety I suppose :rolleyes:

the sig has a safety! its the slide lock!!!!

The slide lock is not a saftey. It is a slide lock.

It appears that mine doesn't have this function - the slide release does not extend to the other side. This is my gun below..

I believe its a newer model (baught barely used this summer - unknown how long the orig owner had it)

the slide lock works both as a slide lock and a safety. when holding the gun, the left side shows the lever part of the slide lock. on the other side of the gun though, you'll just see opposite end of the... looks almost like a semi-circle (right above the serial number). push that and it will depress by about 2mm... that will be in the safety mode.

i bought mine this summer too, if you look right above the front of the trigger guard there is that circle about half an inch across, push that in, it will engage the safety
