Does anyone have a diagram of how the manual safety works on the new Sig P220R and P226 X-5 SAOs?

I would like to study them and see if they would be any less safe to carry cocked and locked as compared to a 1911.

I never liked Sigs because I felt they were a bit large compared to other combat handguns, but some of their new designs have me selling some of my current stuff so I can try some to these new designs...

Just by looking at the picture of the X-Five it looks like a 1911 style thumb safety. I assume it would be just as safe to carry even though it doesn't have the grip safety.
