I rotate my carry sigs each week ( P-220, P-229, P-226, P239,) so one or the other doesn't feel neglected. I do agree with the SA/DA De cock capability. Very safe and comfortable to carry.
I’m old fashioned, but I’d like if they went back to 1911 sidearms. I’m not sure it’s the best out there these days, but I have a bit of a nostalgic attachment to them.
Although I have a nice functioning 229. Police trade in, very little use.
Safety On results in the rotation of the Ambidextrous Thumb Safety Lever that:
1) Moves a Cam which is part of the shaft of the that moves the Hammer back away from the Firing Pin making it unable to strike the Firing Pin.
2) Disconnects the Sear and Trigger linkage leaving the Trigger to float freely and not even contact the Sear linkage.
3) Blocks the Firing Pin from moving to even make contact with the rear end of the Firing Pin. b
Footnotes: a-Many aftermarket Magazines are available ranging from 10 Round up to 35 Round.
b In addition to the action of #1.
The Magazine Release is ambidextrous as well.
I owned one of these IMO one of the best Pistols I ever owned was back in the 1980- 1990's and I foolishly put it in a Pawn Shop for a loan and failed to get it back in time. I had an Uncle Mike's Shoulder Rig with a Double Spare Magazine Pouch that I had modified to fit 2 of the "32" (that would actually hold 35 Rounds) in addition to the 17 Round Magazine that was in the Pistol and 1 Round in the Chamber for a total of 88 and with even a light weight shirt was unnoticeable. I was 6'1"/250# and I could keep 1 or 2 15 or 17 Rounds in My jean pockets for a grand total of 122 Rounds, not that I needed to go that far. I ran every type and brand of ammo through that Baby and NEVER had a feed or extraction problem and I ran a huge amount of all !!! Even aluminum case.Not even a Stovepipe ‼️
I'm going to buy another one this pay period.
I have heard many people say that the Grip was too big/fat to hold but it was a perfect fit for My Hands and I also liked the Ambidextrous Safety and Magazine thumb points. And it was perfectly balanced. Even with a 35 Round Magazine fully loaded.
If I could get the Exact Same Build Chambered in.45ACP I would be doing Cartwheels!!!
That's My 85. Cents worth 🔫🇺🇸
decock? ..... I don’t like that word..............😉

Still don’t know what exactly happened.
The Sig P-228/M11, P-226, and P-229 are all like that, but for some reason, polymer guns with internal hammers seem to be preferred style.
P-85...
Fascinating!
.
Got one when First Offered. Still have it with less than a Box thru It.
I figured Ruger was gonna be the Next U.S.
Sidearm!
I’m basically a Wheel Gun Fan.
Remember when Obama was visiting and he made all the troops turn in every single gun?
