My everyday carry weapon is a S&W Sigma 9mm. This gun has been loyal to me, and I love it. I only have one concern, carrying it chambered. Now it has a tough trigger pull and my Fobus paddle covers the trigger. But reading online, considering there is no manual safety for this weapon, I am trying to get a detailed explanation of the safety features internally that keep this gun from firing unless the trigger is pulled. If I remove the magazine and pull the trigger back (looking in the magazine slot) there is a rail that rides with the trigger and depresses a small circle button on the slide. Is that a passive safety feature to block the firing pin from dropping without the trigger being pulled? If not what safety is there? I would like to know more on this topic to feel comfortable that this semi auto weapon will not one day decide that the grocery store needs a hole it the floor. Can anyone assist with this information?
I am assuming that little round metal button blocks the firing pin internally, and that is the passive safety feature other than a 2 part trigger, which is honestly not very reliable.
Everywhere I find online just says there are internal safety's to avoid this. Not that I dont trust that explaination, I want to know details to put me and my feets safety at ease.
BTW, SW SIGMA... love it!
