Appendix B: P220 SAO Supplemental Instructions
The SIG Sauer P220 SAO is a single action only pistol. This firearm incorporates
many of the same safety features found in other SIG Sauer pistols, including the
firing pin safety, hammer safety intercept notch, and disconnector. The P220 SAO
features an integrated thumb safety, located above and to the rear of the grip.
The thumb safety can be engaged with the hammer cocked or hammer forward.
The thumb safety can not be engaged unless the slide is fully closed.
Push the thumb safety fully upward to engage. A white dot will be visible on the
thumb safety. When engaged, the hammer is blocked, preventing it from falling
when the trigger is pulled.
Always engage the thumb safety before loading and unloading the pistol. Keep the
thumb safety engaged until ready to fire.
WARNING
The thumb safety must be engaged (in the UP position) until ready to fire. Failure
to engage the manual safety can lead to accidental discharge, causing injury,
death or damage to property.
