I had a Sig 226 Navy for years. When you rack the slide, a round is loaded, the pistol is cocked, hammer back. You press the decocker, the hammer goes down, now you are ready to go D/A. No problem!
I've only had one pistol with a decocker. It always made me nervous dropping the hammer with a loaded chamber. Sure, any part of any pistol can fail, but a failure of the decocking mechanism always entered my mind when decoocking. Just me I guess, but I didn't like doing it.
I wonder how many Sig P226s have been sold over the decades? It is the same design as the P220, and the P228 and P229 operate the same way, I am told. Those pistols are used by countless law enforcement and militaries, including SAS and SEAL. Those have been regarded as among the best, most reliable, semi autos ever made. Millions of pistols which have fired billions of rounds would not be much of an exaggeration.
I've never heard of the failure you describe. I don't have mine anymore and no manual, but I don't recall any caution in the manual about it, either.
