Interesting idea, however, the P6 has a locked firing pin that isn't freed until the trigger is pulled. One can beat on the hammer with a brick 'till the cows come home...so it seems to me that the slotted hammer isn't needed to protect the firing pin.
(Actually, both ideas are kinda sketchy...)
Wonder if I could just ask Sig?
Added later...I found their USA number. I'll call them tomorrow during business hours.
