Welcome! The manual says to do that because of SRT. But I have read here it's not necessary anymore. I have a Legion, and 2 other SIGs with SRT. Just remove and replace slide like any other gun without A SRT. No problems

If I am wrong, somebody correct me!!

that procedure was supposedly eliminated with the change to the srt safety lever, so i'm surprised that it's still showing up in the manual.

Normal field strip... must be outdated.

A week ago, I purchased a new 229 Legion. Since this was my first Sig I read every page of the owners manual. Like the OP, the last section of my manual said that Sig's with SRT needed to follow a different procedure. I had already field stripped, cleaned, and lubed so I figured I was OK. I had no issues during my visit to the range.

Thanks everyone for the replies, I too had already field stripped cleaned and re lubed prior to reading the manual. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't skipping a step that might cause issues in the future. Thanks again for the quick response.
