Where is the Sig P225 manufactured?
SIG Sauer manufactured the P225 in West Germany during its original production run in the 1970s and 1980s, with early examples marked "Made in W. Germany." Today, the P225 is manufactured by both SIG Sauer GmbH in Eckernförde, Germany, and SIG Sauer, Inc. in New Hampshire, USA.
Does the SIG P225 have a safety?
No manual safety. The P225 uses a double-action/single-action trigger with a decocking lever instead. Pressing the lever safely lowers the hammer without firing. The first shot then requires a longer double-action pull, which many carriers prefer over manipulating a traditional safety.
