Safety on TM Sig P226

pugs144 · January 19th, 2008, 00:47

I don't know guys, I've shot real-steel 226's and was never taught to employ the slide stop in this manner nor can I find it in the Sig 22X-series manual.
Seems quite silly since, as stated before, the heavy initial double-action pull negates the need for an externally safety. Same thing with the Beretta M9.

They're talking about airsoft here, not real steel Sigs.

The Japanese makers have a gentleman's agreement to add safeties to the fake pistols.

Hello miscommunication.

There is the slide catch, and then there is the slide release lever.

The slide release lever is the one you flip to take down the gun. As prelude mentioned, the slide release lever runs through the lower frame and is the large circle visible on the shooter's right side of the frame, directly above the front of the trigger guard. Push that to the left approximately 2mm to engage the safety.

As part of Japan's ASGK regulations, all airsoft guns must employ some use of a working safety mechanism, regardless of whether the real steel counterpart has a safety or not.

I have no idea what you are talking about. There's 3 "levers" (take down lever, decocking lever and slide catch/release) on the left side of the pistol and none of them can be "pushed" 2mm to the left to engage a safety.

They mean pushed from the other side to engage the safety.

video please, this is news to me.

In that pic. The opposite side of the slide release lever. Push on that and the safety is activated. Push on the release lever on the other side to disengage.

Thank you, I'm not sure weather this method works on a reall p226, but every P226 airsoft Iv'e played with does (except the wal-mart one).

Anyone have the ability to check this feature on the real steel?

DarkAngel · February 7th, 2008, 00:20

thx, im gonna check this out on my sig

AngelusNex · February 7th, 2008, 00:51

doubt the real one has it, TM added it cause they have to have a safety on all replicas not cause it's same on the real.
