"Cocked and locked" is a cute phrase that sounds good and macho and confident. It has settled into the 1911 culture. But this Sig 938 had the safety come off, so it was cocked but not locked. "Cocked and locked" might work for 1911s with thumb safety and grip safety. The redundancy provides another level of safety.
Since the Sig 938 is a single action trigger with only one safety, you have to ask yourself, is having only a thumb safety sufficient to carry cocked? The OP answered the question already... the thumb safety is insufficient to carry the weapon cocked.
This gun may be a great home defense or bedside gun. IMHO it is not designed with a sufficient safety system to carry cocked. It is not safe to carry cocked because you cannot trust that it is indeed "locked".
