There is evidence that the tiny loop on the P6 hammer was not designed for impact detection, or also had a secondary purpose.
Once a story gets around, any other possible source of info can be lost and ignored. Maybe the sole purpose Was to be an impact detector.
Being police handguns, supposedly there was a very short cord connecting the tiny hammer loop to the holster, and real deformation in the loop was to indicate whether the gun had been Pulled from the holster, possibly used.
To know whether a gun might have been used (but not reported) could also be significant. Being haunted by their WW2 history, does this seem plausible?
Olympus: when they say adopted, does this necessarily exclude the possibility of being planned for later use, but only after minor changes are to be made to the original guns?
According to some posters on SigTalk (pistol forum), this was the intention which the German police agencies etc had in mind. The P225 and P6 seem to be two sides of the same coin.
Good gosh---if we could only buy the 'grip safety', 'grip slide release' HK P7 (single or double-stack) at a similar price! What a perfect set these would be.
