How to Disassemble a Sig Trailside

The Sig Trailside was a semi-automatic handgun manufactured by Sig Arms of Exeter, New Hampshire, a division of the German firearms maker Sig Sauer GMBH. Manufacture of the Trailside by Sig Arms is now discontinued. Chambered to fire .22-caliber long rifle ammunition from a 10-round magazine, the Trailside was available with either a 4.5-inch or 6-inch barrel in standard and competition models. All models featured a competition trigger and were weighted specifically for target shooting. The standard PL22 Trailside measured 7.75 inches in length and weighed 29.4 ounces.
