Is it ok to sit here and dry-fire this Sig 225?

Short answer no. I called Sig and asked them.
Why not use a snapcap?
Unlike a Glock, you can simply cock the hammer and dry fire, cock the hammer, dry fire, cock... you get the point.

Because of the slender nose of the firing pin, and the strength of the fp spring, the fp does not ever come into contact with the rear of the breech face. Therefore, it cannot possibly hurt the firing pin or the breech block.
If you're going to dry fire your SIG, do not waste your time cocking it, SA practice is seldom needed and there is little to be gained from it. It is the DA pull that must be mastered, and you don't have to pull the damn slide every time like a Glock! The DA pull on SIGs, while still long, gets very smooth after a few thousand rounds/dry fires.

You are absolutely right, of course, that one ought to practice the vital first shot, which will be DA.
At the same time, since the subsequent shots will be SA, one really ought to practice the SA as well, IMHO.
What is more, if one is really serious, one ought to practice the transition (first shot DA, second shot SA).
Either way, as you point out, SIG's do not require partial retraction of the slide like Glocks to dry-fire.
