Yep.Do a PENCIL test. Hold the gun vertically, put a pencil in the barrel of the EMPTY gun, and then pull the trigger, either double-action or single-action. See if the pencil moves. If the hammer is actually striking the firing pin, it'll move the pence, often substantially. It may be striking the firing pin and you just can't see it.
Yup, you are.New sig 220... On sigs it looks as if the hammer never touches the firing pin. When dry firing the hammer never goes all the way against the pin. Am I missing something here??
Is the pencil test safe (assuming proper backstop and doublecheck empty) to do in all CF semi-auto handguns?

It is safe.
But unreliable at best.
