Smile Side to side trigger wobble on Sigs & Romeo1 Pro

Hello Sig owners. I have a 220 and 226. I got the 226 about two months before Covid hit so I have only been able to shoot it a couple times. One thing I notice about it is the trigger has some side to side slop. I checked it against my 220 and it has it a little bit but not as much. I had previously replaced all the springs on the 220 so that might be making it a little tighter. I also noticed that the trigger is different on the 220. The 226 trigger is much larger. My question is there anything that can be done to get rid of the side to side slop? I am already going to replace the springs on the 226 so I figured while I have it apart I might as well do other upgrades.

My second question is on the Romeo1 Pro. Does anyone have one and how does it compare to other red dots you have used? I saw on line that you can buy a complete 226 slide with a Romeo1 Pro already installed. Between my 226 and 220 I would much rather have it on the 220 as it is a lighter gun but I did not see any premounted for a 220.

I inspected a dozen of my P220 & P226 pistols, none have a side-to-side movement as you described. Regardless, I don’t think any springs will alleviate that problem as no spring(s) come in direct contact with the trigger.

There are several companies that manufacture triggers for the P-series line of SIG pistols. GreyGuns & ArmoryCraft are just two that are highly regarded in the SIG community

If you want to keep with OEM triggers, SIG does offer a SRT (short reach trigger). It is much thinner than the regular trigger. Post pics of your P220, it might already have the SRT version while your P226 has the regular

Below I have pictured a few of my P226s
Scorpion has the regular trigger. MK25 has an Armory Craft flat Trigger. TacOps is equipped with the factory SRT (short reach trigger)

I own one P220 that is two years old and the trigger has no side movement.

As for your Red Dot question, I have several pistols equipped with Romeo1, Romeo1 Pro & Leupold Delta Point Pro (DPP). Each have their pros & cons.

SIGs use a much less popular battery, CR1632. The electronics incorporate a motion activated system. It powers down when not in use, but turns on quickly when handling the weapon system. Illumination controls are easily accessible. I believe the SIG models are also available in 3 & 6 MOA sized dots and a metal protective shroud is available for around $50

The DPP uses a much more common CR2032 battery. Access to the adjustments are a little cumbersome. Battery compartment access is spring loaded and very easy

If buying the slide directly from SIG, I believe it is pre sighted in. So that saves you time & ammo

Ok everybody I am in the middle of getting pics uploaded. The two pistols I have are older models. The 220 is from 1995 and the 226 is from the late 90s.
The 220 is German parts assembled in USA while the 226 is all USA with a UU serial #. About three years ago I rented a 9mm 226 at the range and it was well worn with lots of side to side and front to back play on the trigger. My 226 is way better than the one at the range so I don't see a problem I just think some parts need to be replaced or tightened up. As for the 220 having a SRT trigger I don't think it does as I bought it in 2005. I don't think the SRT triggers were even out yet.

I’ve got a bunch of West German made SIG pistols. Upon inspection, zero trigger wobble detected on them as well. Would be very interested in eyeing your P220, as maybe a previous owner may have swapped out its original trigger?

My 1989 P226

Just get another/a new P220 trigger and install it. It's unknown at this point what the dimensions are or should be.

If someone worked on the existing trigger or put, something like, a P225 trigger in (which is narrower) will be interesting to determine, but the main thing is getting one's P220 to a satisfactory level.

If you do take out the existing P220 trigger, just don't throw it away. It could very-well be the now-rare P225 short-reach (aka thin) trigger or just one somebody filed upon.

I'd also recommend going to the Sigtalk.com forums as there are a couple folks there who could probably provide very detailed info & pics. They'd be able to recreate possible scenarios or maybe just know if the OP is experiencing something normal or not.
