Thoughts on sig DAK trigger?

[dem0critus]

Hey guys,
I fired a sig p226 this weekend, and was thinking about buying one, but I was curious to find out if there are any p226/p229 DAK owners out there that could share their experience with the trigger.

I think I have a good idea of how the trigger works, but just wanted to know you guys' opinions on it.

Thanks

The trigger pull is long, but not to heavy. I personally don't care for it much since performing double taps takes more effort. I believe it was designed for people who can't shoot or handle a gun properly (.ie federal agents, certain law enforcement agencies, etc.). On the positive side, the trigger pull is consistent and smooth. It also reduces the chance of an accidental discharge due to the long trigger pull. Most right handers will probably shoot low and to the left with it due to that long trigger pull.

I much rather have the SRT trigger over the DAK. I dont shoot the DAK triggers well...

Yeah, I've heard that it has a very smooth pull, but I just don't know if I want to deal with learning 2 different trigger pulls. Plus releasing the trigger half way results in a different trigger pull than if you release it all the way, which to me just seems kinda silly.

Thanks for the input tho. I'm probably going to end up with the sa/da one.

The intent of the DAK was to put a revolver like trigger in a semi-auto pistol. The full DA trigger stroke is just about the smoothest and lightest available with the possible exception of the Kahr and maybe the Para-Ord

You don't have to learn two trigger pulls on the DAK. If you release the trigger all the way forward after each shot, you'll have the light primary trigger stroke. If you short stroke the trigger in reset, you'll still be able to complete the trigger stroke with a slightly heavier trigger pull. The trigger stroke is the same, unlike a DA/SA trigger.

I personally don't care for it much since performing double taps takes more effort.

I'm not completely sure I understand this. You can't shoot faster than the action can cycle and you can reset and complete the DAK trigger stroke before the slide returns from it's rearward movement...so there should be no difference in speed or accuracy. Are you referring to the longer reset as taking more effort?

Let me rephrase, it takes far more effort to double tap with the DAK trigger than other trigger types such as a DA/SA or SAO due to the longer and heavier pull. Try shooting a 300 round match with a DAK, it will be frustrating.
