- The Sig 4 Point Safety System -
1-De-cocking lever- Lets you safely lower the hammer with a loaded chamber.
2-Firing pin block. The firing pin cannot move forward if the trigger is not being pressed. This is also called "Drop Safety"
3-Safety Intercept Notch. The reason the hammer is not touching the firing ping when it is down, if the trigger is not pressed the hammer cannot move all the way forward.
4-Trigger bar disconnect. While the slide is cycling, the trigger bar is disconnected from the sear to avoid an out-of-battery discharge.
What it is and how it works! A long needed video explanation of how the internal and passive safeties work on the Sig Sauer P226.
This video is an excerpt from a larger comprehensive review you can find on my channel. Hope this helps to shed some light on some of the engineering that goes into a Sig. - Розваги
Commenting on this 10 year old video because it’s a great learning tool to actually see how all the inner parts interact, it’s one thing to read about it but to see and hear the explanation increases understanding 10 fold.
Answered many questions I had concerning this gun. Just purchased a p229 combat and was a little nervous once I racked back the slide and actually chambered the first round. I saw that hammer back and I wondered what would happen if it moved forward without me pulling the trigger. I have always had much more simpler guns... It's amazing to me how brilliant engineers or builders can be. It really does look like they thought everything through.Thank GOD for smarter people than me! : )Thanks for the video!!
FANTASTIC VIDEO!!! I've been searching forever for a good layman's explanation of all four points of this system. I'm a HUGE Sig fan, and whenever I tell a friend about my Sigs, or let one of them shoot one, I'm always sure to inform them that it has no "external safety", but it's safe and absolutely will not go off unless you're pulling the trigger. When the inevitable question arises "Then... how is it safe?", my canned answer was always; "it has proven INternal safety measures".
Now that I'm armed with more info, I can actually go into a more detail than that. Thank you so much for this video! I guarantee there are a LOT of Sig owners who could benefit from watching this.
Thanks caynine29,
It took some digging around but I finally go to the bottom of the Sig 4 Point Safety System, and I had to share it with my fellow Sig lovers! Glad you enjoyed it, hope it helps others!

A tip: watch series on flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Santiago Cassius yup, have been using flixzone} for since december myself :D
@Santiago Cassius yea, I have been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself :)
Yes, I’m one of them. Thank you 🙏
Wow! That makes the Sig safety system as good as the Beretta. All my concern that has kept me from buying Sig has been answered, thanks very much for all your investigation time involved as well as making the video.
I am very experienced (military trained) in firearms and just purchased a 220 Elite. This video was really helpful and very educational for any Sig owner with this model design.
OH MY GOD!!!! I finally found what i have been looking for. Nobody has ever put put this info. I knew sigs were good and had great safeties but now i know. Thanks a bunch man!!!!
I've learned more from you in this one video, than any other video on firearm internal safety features
One of the best videos on the Sig Safety features I have seen. Great work and thanks for educating the 28 year Sig Owner LOL.
Semper Fi
EXCELLENT video! Easy to understand and straight forward, this is BY FAR the best video I have seen explaining the safety features of this firearm. Great job!!
One of the most thorough explanations i've come across! Hope you post more videos just to give newbies like myself more general firearm knowledge! Ive been testing out firearms at the local shooting range and have been researching which type of gun to purchase to take my firearm virginity for months and this solidified my decision in purchasing a sig as my first firearm! Its beautiful and feels great in my hands when firing!(unlike the box shaped glocks)
Thanks for the explanation, I bought a 229 I thought the gun was broken because the hammer didn’t go all the way forward. This makes much more sense now
I tell ya, I've watched a lot of UA-cam videos explaining the ins and outs of guns. Your presentation was well done - very professional from beginning to end. I recently purchased the Sig P229 .40. Legion. Being from the old school having previous experience with firearms with safeties, I was a little unnerved that the P229 Legion did not have the external safety lever. I went ahead with the purchased anyway because of my infatuation with the pistol. Your video put all my concerns to rest. Thanks
P excellent video on the Sig p 229 and other guns all about the safety firing pin just remember these guns have a thing to let the hammer go down but without hitting the fireman pin the only problem is if you press the trigger by accident the gun will go off so be careful lot of people don't slide it back until they're ready to shoot it but you don't know what the situation is you're not at a target range if you need the gun to save your life 🇺🇲👍
Great video, thank you for explaining so thoroughly. Was very helpful. I just bought a used Sig 220 carry & haven't had a chance to fire it yet. Was concerned that the hammer wasn't seated correctly & didn't realize this is one of the safety features.
So thank you for putting my concerns to rest as well as allowing me to learn about some really neat features.
PHENOMENAL Video. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. It's everything i was looking for and more. Wow. I bet most people will own this gun and never know all of this.
Excellent video providing a simple explanation of the internal safeties of the Sig. Thank you for posting!
Probably one of the best UA-cam videos I’ve seen. Excellent information without any nonsense. Well done sir.
Holy shit dude... thank you so much for making this video.
Thank you for condensing the key points together in a 10 minute video. You've made my day Douglas81! Great job! keep it up!
Thank you for an excellent and concise overview of the 4 point safety system. I had been looking for something like this for some time. Well done.
Great job on this video. It answered my questions about the Sig and more.
Thanks! Great detailed explanation. I know I'm late to the party but I just came across the video in a search... I walk away learning several things! 👍
Great video. I am planning on getting either a P250 or an SP2022 and the lack of a 'manual' external safety was a bit alarming to me. I knew SIG had this safety system but I didnt understand much of how it worked past the decocker, which is a no brainer. This video clearly explained how the other 3 passive safeties work and now I am not at all concerned about the lack of a manual safety
Fantastic explanation of the safety system. I've been looking for something like this video. Thank you!
Thanks for this video. I will be adding a 4th Sig to my inventory shortly.
Awesome video, I just bought a P226 and needed this info. Thanks bro!
GREAT video. I recently purchased an SP2022 and really wanted to understand the decocker and other safety features. This was very helpful.
Very nice ! Makes me feel a lot better about sig sauer safety now. Really awesome video.
Wow! Thank you for making this very nicely done video. As a new Sig owner I am very grateful. Make More!!
Excellent video! Good explanation. I have always felt very safe carrying my sig.
Excellent job, very helpful to better understand my M11-A1!
Great video. Great for new Sig owners to understand the internals.
Great job, very well explained.
Very good explanation and visual presentation, thanks and keep up the great work!
Very useful to help inform the public, given the recent news out of SF. (12/6/17)
I was looking for more info, but I kept hitting dead ends. Thanks, this helps tremendously! I actually followed along with my P2022 in hand and the only difference I found was the P2022 actually has the chambered round indicator.
Dude your video is awesome. Solid work!!
7:20 to 7:45 is there someone snoring in the back ?? Way to exciting & well done review Grandpa to be asleep while you did the video 😂😂
great video man, just got my 220 today. this is helping out a lot!
great video man. i stumbled on this wondering if my gun was drop safe after hearing about the p320. thank you man.
Excellent explanation!
Thanks, i knew how the firing pin block worked and the decocker how the hammer doesnt go all the way down but i now understand how the safty lever disconnects the trigger from the hammer.
As others have said, excellent video. Thank you so much for your research and presentation. Really helps me understand how my pistol works.
Well done video! Very organized, easy to follow, and informative. Nice tip at the end. additionally, if you look between the extractor and barrel, there is a small gap, or window. You should be able to visually see the round chambered, in P-series handguns. The audible and tactile checks are good too, as you said, we do not always have the light to visually check.
Learned something new everyday. Thank you for such an enlightening video.
Great explanation! Thanks for the video!
That was so detailed and easily explained that it made me sub. Great video!
Great video. Great explanation and visuals.
Nice job on the detail in his video just purchased this gun today good things to know
Awesome video, just what I was looking for
Bravo! Excellent video. Thank you so much. Very informative
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.🙏
Thank you, exactly what I've been looking for.
Very well explained, great video 👍👍
Great video. Great explanation.
great video explanation, TY
Great video , very informative .
Thanks, I've been looking for info lately and out of the bloom YT just showed this in my suggestions
No problem Andrew, glad that it helped you in some way. If you want to see more on the Sig P226, check out the full review :)
cheers,
This was is an informative video. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Very informative.
Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for.
Excellent video. Thank you
I just bought this and I got to say, when using the decocker, it really freaks me out that the hammer falls just like normal (visually) I have not tried it yet, as soon as my Conceal Carry Permit comes in, I will be carrying this gun with the chamber loaded and hammer down (at rest). The only way to get there is with the decocker. I will practice at the range before, but just seeing you makes me a lot more confidant.
The decocker is perfectly safe on a Sig pistol. I've used them for over a decade. Loaded chamber and decocked is really the only way I'll carry a Sig.
Just don't put your support hand forefinger on the trigger guard like this guy does. That thing is a holdover from the '80s. One Sig-specific thing you'll want to do is move your right thumb out to the base of your support hand knuckle to avoid accidentally ride the slide release.
great video. thank you for making it.
Awesome video, thanks!
Thank you this was a was exactly what I was looking for
I have to agree with another recent commenter. 10 year old video but incredibly helpful and informative. Only one I've found that explains the safety features of my 226 in detail.
Nice job making this video.
CZ75, Beretta 92 and SIG P226 are exemples of pistols where the firing pin safety is disconnected like the regular sear after each shot. Most, if not all, striker fired pistol firing pon safeties, are trigger actuated and after a shot the firing pin will be unlocked until de user releases the trigger. On a SIG, after you fire a shot, the firing pin will return on its locked position. I noted it using the silly "world of guns" game.
Great Video!
Great video, Thank you!
Great video man
Great video!
Thank you! Great video
Great video. Very informative. My main concern with switching from a striker fire gun (my Glock 23) to my Sig P229 was "what if the hammer is accidentally pulled back slightly (snagged, etc) and then dropped" - You covered that in your first explanation.
Fantastic video thank you
Great video
Great video. Thank you.
Great video.
very good . thank you for sharing!
really amazing
Top notch info good video
Great Video
Excellent! Thank you!
Most excellent!
That's great they have so many safeties but it would be great if they had a safety switch to make it impossible to pull the trigger with a round in the chamber.
Great job here.
Thanks for sharing .
wow. cool stuff. thankd dude
Awesome video... makes me feel more confident about getting a Sig. Good job! :D
One questions though... I know riding the hammer while riding the hammer is a REALLY BAD idea now, but what about riding the hammer while engaging the decocker?
I think the reason to do this is if you want to do things quietly or if you I am being paranoid with safety.
Thank you so much.
Very well explained, and your visuals clearly show the components to help in the explanation. Well done. I know this is a dated video, but, in your opinion, does such complicated engineering increase the chance of a failure? I've heard great things about the Sig pistol, with very few negatives, and nothing really that involves mechanical failure. I plan on getting a 2022 when I find enough pennies.
In my opinion, complicated engineering does not increase the chance of failure is the quality of the engineering is there. I still feel that the craftsmanship that goes into the internals is pretty strong (despite the external frame chipping I was getting from the decocker riding too high). If there is a lot of systems in any machine that is poorly designed or poorly constructed, than it is all for not. I believe this pistol to be at a very high caliber for quality overall, so the multiple safeties and complexity of the safeties I still feel is only beneficial in this case. Just my opinion.
Awesome.. Vid 👍👍
Very good video, thanks.
What kind of laser would you recommend for this gun?
Grate video thank you
Tried pushing the ejector on my sig m11a1 and it makes no noise with or without one in the pipe. Kinda unfortunate, that's a cool tip.
Great vid! What's at the top of your slide at the breech face?
very good vid thx
how do you oil/grease the gun inside if not taking it fully apart? and btw. only the p226 legion seems to have this longer bar you press on to check if there's a round in the chamber.
