That whole decock lever thing on the sig freaks me out every time I use one.....

Same thing for me on the 92/96FS series Berettas....safety decocks hammer....I know it's safe, but still a little edgy..

Not at all. If the firing pin breaks into two pieces at a stress point caused in the machining process, the rear half may be retained and the forward section continues forward to fire the primer. This is a very common breakage on the Walther P.38, from which the DA trigger and safety and the barrel locking setup of the M92 Beretta was derived.

Hit the *safety* lever, and ease the hammer down. Don't let it *snap* on either a loaded or empty chamber.
