Sig question

[pohill]

I had a Sig Sauer .9mm back in the early 90's and I can't remember if it was a 220 or 226 (I'm not up on semi-autos and my memory is going). It held 15 with one in the chamber. Anyhoo - I'm trying to remember how it was de-cocked. Are they the same as far as decocking?
Thanks.

226

Thy decock the same.

That's where I'm drawing a blank...how exactly are they decocked?
Thanks.

IIRC, it could have been either. P220's have been available in 9mm.

But they are basically the same gun.

They decock via a lever in the front of the grip, you push it down and the hammer is released on the upswing the hammer is set down.

except for the capacity...15 (15+1) makes it a P226...they are decocked by pressing down on the decocking lever on the left side of the pistol...it drops the hammer into the safety intercept notch...no boom...

you are correct. The are some p220's in 9mm.

9mm P220s were single-stack 9-round magazines though. It was also available in .30 Luger and .38 Super, as well as .45 ACP.
