Read that in a detective book and too lazy to google for it.
The book has tons of crappy gun references, so I was curious.

Were there Sig 226s with no safeties?

Didn't think about a decocker.
In the book, one good guy gives a novice a 226 and says there is no safety. So I was wondering.

I never heard of a typical DA/SA P226 (probably 99+ percent of production) having an external safety. SA only P226s have a safety like the P226 Elite SAO.

Excluding the uncommon SAO variants discussed by sigarms228, AFAIK the only standard-production SIG pistol with a manual safety is the P210. [EDIT: Yes KMAX, it's SAO, I was writing this when you posted the follow-up.]KMAX said:
If we include the Sauer part of the SIG Sauer name, most production versions of the J.P. Sauer & Sohn 38H have slide-mounted thumb safeties; IIRC the pistol was originally designed and built without one, but the safety was quickly added at the insistence of the Waffenamt, only to be deleted again late in WWII due to last-ditch production exigencies. [EDIT: Going with the spirit of the follow-up post, this may be the only DA/SA pistol in the SIG Sauer family with a thumb safety.]
