I recently got a W. German P226.

Occasionally, the decock lever gets stuck is the down position.

Never expereinced this with my never one or with any other 226.

I'm assuming this isn't normal, but I wanted to check here, as I did just get the gun back after sending to Sig for their full service, etc.

When you say stuck do you mean you can’t push it back up, so frozen in place, or does it just go limp?


Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.

Complacency sucks…

I'll assume that this didn't happen before you sent it in for their full service. In SIG Full Service, the only thing decocking related that is replaced is the decocker spring. So, maybe check that spring out for any abnormalities. Maybe it's pressing too hard against the decocker's surface?

This...........^

Does it have the original grips?
If not, perhaps the grip is hindering the decocker from upward travel...

That's cute. You don't need to "live on the internet", when you're asking questions / for help. https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...935/m/2300086664/p/1

I had this issue on a W. German P226. I ended up replacing the de-cocking lever and the de-cocking lever bearing.

Problem solved.
