Most SIG pistols have decockers and are available with double-action-only or double-action/single-action triggers. These pistols are intended for duty and self defense. The P239 is the first SIG chambered for the . 357 SIG round, and to increase its durability it was made with a one-piece slide. A reputed advantage for the . 357 SIG, besides its obvious ballistic potential, is the necked-down case, which may aid feeding reliability. Other SIGs have a separate breechblock that is pinned into the slide, a feature that is unique to SIG among pistol manufacturers. Action is recoil-operated, using a linkless camblock design. The pin visible on the slide just behind the ejection port is the firing pin bolt, not a pin for the breechblock.
The actions available are double action only (DAO) or double/single action (DA/SA), as well as the new DAK trigger system developed for law enforcement, which functions as a DAO trigger with a 6. 5 lb (29 N) trigger pull. There is a concealed carry version called SIG Anti-Snag or SAS. It has a dehorned stainless steel slide with custom SIG wooden grips and the DAK trigger system.
