Safety Information
Before you take your new SIG SAUER pistol out of the box, 
please read the following information. 
It is vital to your safety and the safety of others. 
IMPORTANT
THE SAFEST PISTOL IS ONE THAT IS FULLY UNLOADED
What you should know about all safety mechanisms
NEVER completely trust any safety mechanism. Your pistol is equipped 
with an effective, well designed safety mechanism. 
NO SAFETY MECHANISM, HOWEVER, IS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROPER 
GUN HANDLING. Any safety mechanism can break down or malfunction. 
YOU, AND YOU ALONE, ARE THE  ULTIMATE  SAFETY MECHANISM. 
Remember, there is no such thing as a "childproof” safety or one which can 
completely prevent accidental discharge from careless or irresponsible use. 
The best safety is proper and applied training in safe gun handling.

The Ten Commandments of Firearms Safety 
1. ALWAYStreat every gun as if it were loaded. 
2. ALWAYSkeep the gun pointed in a safe direction. 
3. ALWAYSkeep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. 
4. ALWAYSkeep the gun unloaded until ready to use. 
5. ALWAYSbe sure the gun is safe to operate and the barrel is 
clear of any obstruction. 
6. ALWAYSuse the proper, factory-made ammunition for your 
particular gun. 
7. ALWAYSknow your target and what is beyond it. 
8. ALWAYSwear ear and eye protection when shooting. 
9. NEVERuse alcohol or drugs before or during handling a gun. 
10. ALWAYSstore guns and ammunition in separate locked 
containers, so they are secure and not accessible to unauthorized persons.
BECOME FAMILIAR WITH YOUR PISTOL, UNDERSTAND 
THE INSTRUCTIONS FULLY BEFORE USING IT.
WARNING
Always use the decocking leverto decock your SIG SAUER pistol. This
is the only way to safely lower the hammer from the cocked position and
prevent an accidental discharge. This warning applies to all pistols with
decocking levers. 
The positive way to safely lower the hammer is by use of the decocking 
lever. Never lower the hammer by pulling the trigger and attempting to
ease the hammer forward manually. Manually lowering the hammer is
dangerous and prevents full application of the pistol's safety features. 
The decocking lever is the only proper means of lowering the hammer
and assuring that the hammer rests in the intercept notch. 
Again, DO NOT THUMB THE HAMMER DOWN:the consequence
can be serious injury or death - only and ALWAYS use the decocking
lever!

Principal Features
We've designed the automatic firing pin lock to provide additional safety with 
the hammer in either the cocked or decocked position. You can fire the pistol 
only by pulling the trigger. The double-action feature and the absence of 
manual safeties make it easier for you to get off a quick first shot. A decocking 
lever* allows you to lower the cocked hammer safely into the safety intercept 
notch without your touching the trigger. While you're doing this, the firing pin 
remains automatically locked. High-contrast sights help you line up on the 
target rapidly, even under poor light conditions. Ergonomically designed grip 
plates, ideal grip angle and comfortable grip dimensions facilitate rapid and 
accurate shooting. The closed design helps keep dirt, sand and other debris out 
of the action. The industry-standard accessory rail on the SP2022 facilitates the
attachment of commonly available tactical lights & laser aiming systems.  
* does not apply to the Double Action Only pistols. See below. 
What you should know about the decocking lever
The decocking lever on the SIG SAUER pistol is designed for the express 
purpose of decocking the firearm. The reason it is there is because it is not safe
practice to decock a pistol by pulling the trigger and attempting to ease the 
hammer forward manually. To decock your pistol, push down the decocking
lever (keep your finger OFFthe trigger while you do this).
General Description
The SIG SAUER®sig pro™Semiautomatic Pistol has been designed specifically
to meet the stringent requirements of military and law enforcement agencies. 
Manufactured by advanced state-of-the-art production processes, the SIG SAUER
is a mechanically locked, short recoil operated pistol featuring an automatic firing
pin safety lock, double-action/single-action trigger, decocking lever and 
external slide catch lever. Firing takes place with each pull of the trigger until the
magazine is empty. The slide stays open after you've fired the last shot.
IMPORTANT: 
Read this if you own a SIG SAUER Double-Action Only Pistol 
The DAO differs from the standard pistol in several ways. 
FIRST,there's no single-action position for the hammer. It returns to a 
decocked position after each trigger pull, so it can be fired only in 
double-action mode. SECOND,because it's double-action only, there's only
one trigger pull to learn. THIRD,because the hammer returns to a decocked
position after each shot, there's no need for a decocking lever. In all other
respects, the DAO is identical in design and function. In this manual, 
whenever there's an instruction or information that doesn't apply to the
DAO, we'll note it.

Ammunition 
Your SIG SAUER pistol will function effectively and safely with a wide variety of
commercial and military-standard ammunition. Here are some suggestions that will
help you keep your pistol free from ammunition-related problems: 
WARNING
READ ANY WARNINGS OR INSTRUCTIONS THAT COME 
WITH YOUR AMMUNITION.
Always be sure of your target, the area behind your target, 
and the maximum range of your ammunition.  
BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS AT ALL TIMES!  
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN OCCUR!
WARNING
Using the wrong ammunition could result in serious
injury or death.  Catastrophic damage could occur.
1. Use only ammunition of the caliber for which your pistol is chambered. The
correct caliber is permanently engraved on your pistol.
2. Use only clean, dry, undamaged new factory-manufactured ammunition. 
3. Always use ammunition that complies with the performance standards 
established by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute, Inc. 
of the United States (SAAMI). 
4. Always inspect your ammunition before use to be certain all cartridges are the
correct caliber for your pistol (see 1 above).
5. Keep your cartridges free of oil. Wipe the chamber clean of any oil or
preservative before you shoot. Oil in the chamber creates dangerous stresses.

							Firearms Handling
You have the pistol and ammunition, and you've read and understood all the safety 
instructions. You know about decocking the pistol by using the decocking lever 
(which doesn't apply if you have the DAO). Now, you're ready to use the pistol. 
Removing the magazine 
Remove the magazine by pressing the magazine catch. 
Retracting the slide
Draw back the slide (4), and engage it by 
pushing up the slide catch lever (17).  
Loading the magazine
1. Press down on the magazine follower with the cartridge case rim. 
2. Push the cartridge to the rear and under the magazine lips. 
3. Continue until the magazine holds the desired number of cartridges. 
Loading the pistol
1. Insert a loaded magazine and make sure it has engaged the magazine catch. 
2. Push down the slide catch lever with your thumb, or draw back the slide as far 
as it will go and release, allowing the slide to snap forward into battery. 
This cocks the hammer (on DAO models, the hammer will be in the down 
position) and chambers a round. 
3. Push down the decocking lever* with your thumb. The pistol is now loaded, 
safe and ready to fire in double-action mode. Keep your finger off the trigger
while you do this. 
Reloading during shooting 
When the magazine is empty, the slide catch lever holds the slide open. Press the 
magazine catch to remove the empty magazine and insert a loaded one. Push 
down the slide catch lever with the thumb of the shooting hand, or draw back and
release the slide allowing it to snap forward. The pistol is again loaded and ready
to fire in the single-action mode*. 
* Not valid for the DAO. See page 7 of this manual.

							Unloading the pistol 
Point the pistol in a safe direction, keep your finger off the triggerand remove 
the magazine. Pull back the slide (4)  and lock it with the slide catch lever (17). 
Make sure the last round in the chamber
has been extracted and ejected. Visually
and physically check the chamber and the
magazine well to make sure the pistol has
been unloaded. 
Release the slide on an empty 
chamber. Depress the decocking
lever*. The pistol is now unloaded, 
decocked and safe.

Troubleshooting 
Firearms work reliably if properly maintained. If there is a malfunction during 
firing, here's what to do: 
1. Keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction with your finger off the trigger. 
2. Remove and secure the magazine. 
3. Move the slide rearward and forward to clear any cartridge case in or near the
chamber. 
4. If you suspect that a bullet is lodged in the bore, field strip your pistol and check
to see if the barrel is blocked. If there is a bullet lodged in the bore, return the 
pistol to SIGARMS Inc. See instructions on page 17. 
Follow the above procedures if:

You notice that a cartridge is difficult to chamber, or

A cartridge does not go off, or

The mechanism fails to extract a fired cartridge case, or

You discover unburned grains of propellant powder spilled in the mechanism, or

A shot sounds or feels weak or abnormal. 
WARNING
IF A BULLET IS IN THE BORE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT
OUT BY USING ANOTHER CARTRIDGE, OR BY BLOWING IT OUT
WITH A BLANK OR A CARTRIDGE FROM WHICH THE BULLET
HAS BEEN REMOVED. THIS CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE 
PRESSURE, DAMAGE THE FIREARM AND CAUSE SERIOUS 
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
