The P does not come with a frame rail, nor does it have a square trigger guard. The P handgun was and still is to those who have one a fine handgun.
That was exactly what they did, so the P — along with its stamped carbon steel slide — was dropped from the catalog. However, a new version of M11 — the MA1 — made an appearance in , and that model, with its variants, is being produced and used.
Spending the morning with a big box of SIGs. Like with other SIGs, the 4-point safety system is implemented in lieu of a manual safety switch. The safety system consists of:. When the hammer falls, it is away from the firing pin.
It will not move, unless the trigger is pulled. What this gives is security and confidence, and it acts as a drop safety. This safety also works with a loaded gun. The trigger pull, and only the trigger pull, will start the chain reaction necessary for a shot to be fired. Drop it from any normal, reasonable height, and the safety will shake it off. This is a measure of caution for when the gun is cycling. It makes sure the firing pin is separated from the cartridge.
Also referred to as the trigger bar dis-connector. That is SIGs 4-point safety system, and it exists on their entire line of products. The grips are made of black polymer. The slide finish is made of nitron, and the frame finish is made of hard black anodized steel. MA1 Threaded Barrel: same as the standard M11, but with a threaded 4. Naval Aviation , and other units in every branch of the U.
Armed Forces. The M11 was designed and designated for the military, so it does not comply with any special State requirements, such as in California or Massachusetts. As for actual shooting, the gun handles very nicely. It was sort of a shame that SIG had lost the U. The slide of the pre P was a heavy gauge, mill finished sheet metal stamping with a welded on nose section incorporating an internal barrel bushing.
The breech block portion was a machined insert attached to the slide by means of brazing and a roll pin visible from either side. Since , production has shifted to CNC machining and the slide is now milled from a single piece of stainless steel.
Therefore the current standard P has a black anodized, stainless steel slide. This resulted in a stronger slide, which was necessary to chamber the more powerful.
The frame of most models is made from hard anodized aluminum alloy. The standard SIG P incorporates a decocking lever on the left side of the frame above the magazine release button, which first appeared on the Sauer 38H prior to World War II, which allows the hammer to be dropped safely.
In chambering or firing a round, the actuation of the slide automatically cocks the hammer. By using the decocking lever, the hammer can be de-cocked without actuating the firing pin block, making it impossible to accidentally fire the weapon by using the decocking lever. Furthermore, using the decocking lever makes the weapon "drop safe", which means the firing pin will be blocked from striking a loaded round unless the trigger is pulled.
Pulling the trigger and slowly lowering the hammer does not make the weapon "drop safe", and can result in an accidental discharge if sufficient force is applied to the hammer. Properly decocked, the pistol can be holstered safely and can be fired in double action mode by simply pulling the trigger.
The SIG P has no manual safety. Double action trigger pressure is approximately 44 N 10 lbf. Subsequent shots are fired in single action mode with a lighter trigger pressure of approximately 20 N 4. The hammer may also be manually cocked at any time by the user to fire in single action mode. Gun Wiki Explore. On the Wiki. About and Community. Manual of Style Sandbox Copyrights.
