I have decided not to wear my recently bought Sig P226 since I have never fired one, or any DA automatic. Figure it best not to carry a gun I am not familiar with. Better to wait until I have taken it to the range and mastered it.
That being said, could anyone offer some pointers? Sigs apparently don't have any lock like the 1911. Is it safe to carry one loaded in the chamber in DA? Of course I carry my revolver the same way all the time. But is it safe to carry with the hammer cocked back and have it in SA? Is there a way to lock it or is it a concern (glocks are carried that way all the time even though they don't have hammers).
How do you go from DA to SA on a sig? Can you do DA every shot or only the first shot? In other words can you, in any way according to the guns design, alternate between DA and SA through the clip (magazine )
ALSO, what is the best kind of 9mm ammo out there. I typically carry 158 gr LWCHP +P in my .38 special. For the 9mm, I just got what little I could out of the selection at Acadamy yesterday for and got Hydrashoks in 124 gr.
