I don't have pics now but I'll do my best to describe this procedure for how I was able to use the SRT system in my SIG with its magazine safety. This, of course, is just a description of what I did. YMMV and I accept no responsibility for your ****ups.

First off, for those wishing to SRT a standard SIG without a mag safety the process is pretty simple. I'd put it on a 2 out of 5 on the difficulty scale. You need to order the SRT Sear, SRT safety lever, and the newer trigger bar spring with the curly Q. Actually the trigger bar spring might not even be necessary. To perform the mod just disassemble the pistol and reassemble it using the new parts. Sig charges $200 for this. I bought the parts for like $40. I used this guy's disassembly vids:

Now, if you have a mag safety it gets more difficult by one step. You have to take the mag safety out and reshape the part that interrupts the sear when there's no mag present. If you don't you won't even be able to reassemble the pistol due to the shape of the SRT parts. It's not difficult and is actually fairly forgiving. If you lay the safety down on your bench it looks like a quadrilateral with a little protrusion at the bottom (the bottom as it would sit in the pistol). If you want to retain the mag safety feature ll you have to do is take a sanding wheel and grind that protrusion down a little at a time, reassembly and checking the function of the safety intil you have it where you want it. Mine needed about .12" taken off. If you want to lose the safety altogether just grind the protrusion down to about 10% of its original height.
