Sig trigger job question...

[Evo]

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions, I'm going to try the Wolf spring first and see if it's enough. If not I'll probably send it to Sig for the Action Enhancement Package.
I'm also thinking about sending my USPc in for a LEM conversion, I tried one a while back and it was SWEET!

So you CAN tell the difference and one is better than the other? Sig factory work is better? Or you CAN'T tell the difference and it is a typo.

Thanks for the clarification.

I really don't have an issue with the Sig trigger, but my wife would probably appreciate it so am considering it, so thank you for the comments.

Also, with all this talk about shorter trigger reaches, what about guys with big paws? I can palm a basketball and the problem I can have with a lot of guns is my trigger finger naturally going so far through the guard and across the trigger that it can get hung up on my support hand thumb on the other side. I hate the idea of having to worry so much about proper hand placement in a crises.

Don't confuse the two. There is a short trigger which helps with smaller hands and a short reset trigger which shortens the reset of the trigger.

Whooops, I'm glad you caught that. Yes, it's a typo. I meant to say I could NOT tell the difference.

Thank you for this thread!

My wife loves her 9mm P226, and she's a real natural shot with it, but she really has a problem with the DA pull weight. She can do it but it's a struggle and even with practice she doesn't feel confident she can get a first shot on target. So my question is, realistically, how much can a P226 DA pull be lightened by a competent gunsmith?

Even just a few pounds would be enough, she can pull the DA on my USPc much easier (about 10lbs) but I think 8lbs would be ideal. I think the Sig is 13-15 but haven't tested it.

BTW she's fired Glocks and just about everything else out there and chose the Sig, so please don't recommend other platforms.

Thanks in advance for your help.

If this gun is going to be used to home defense, may I politely suggest that the trigger not me altered in any way?

If it's only going to be a range toy, please disregard.

if your wife doesn't mind a DA trigger, the DAK at 6.5lbs is really sweet.

as to your concern about having larger hands. the easy way is to get fatter grips...wood grips are the thickess. the cheapest way is to train enough not inserting your finger too far in and it will become muscle memory

[Evo]

I'll talk to her about the DAK but I think she likes the idea of DA/SA.

Actually I ordered a lighter spring for my USPc as well, if it lightens the pull enough I might forgo my plans for a LEM mod.

Don't see how I was confusing the two at all. It is quite obvious I'm talking about the short triggers for smaller hands as distinguished from my very large hands.

Really want to thank you for the link to this podcast. I don't think I usually get past 30 seconds of a lot of the links you find in forums but I just listened to the entire thing. It really shuts down a lot of the "cite just one case" people who ridicule those who suggest not using a light or modded trigger for home defense.

I also like it because it will probably give me a "buy two free" pass with the wife!

My mistake. I missed the post about short triggers vs. the SRT kit.

It's really informative. I used to have a few guns for HD including one with a modified trigger. Obviously, that particular gun is now only designated for range duty. Hope it helped and hopefully you'll spread the word to your friends.

i would convert to DAO.

that way... one trigger pull... ALL the time.

[nn3453]

I have a feeling that the long trigger pull on the first shot might be throwing her off more than the actual DA trigger pull weight. That "problem" is not going to go away no matter how much you lighten the pull. You may not want to hear this, but a DA/SA gun may not be the platform she is most comfortable with.

With my experience with trigger work on Sig pistols, I'd recommend a Wolff 17lb main spring, the factory length trigger and a work over by a competent gunsmith.

The short trigger reduces your leverage advantage against the trigger and makes the trigger pull heavier. If your wife is having trouble with the trigger reach, I'd recommend one of GGI's intermediate triggers.

This person sells factory SRT kits if anyone is interested and either competent in your abilities to install it (not that hard tbh) or have your local gunsmith install it. You would need to sign on onto the Sig forum though to order from him. Sig no longer sells the kit to the average person any longer preferring that you send in your gun for them to work on I believe.

Couple of other people offer SRT kits or their version of them as well. One off hand is-

These guys also offer a "high torgue trigger" for p225/ p6 that can also be implemented on other p series sigs from what it says. Not sure what they do exactly but also helps reduce trigger pull with out compromising to light strikes as well.
