I had an off-roster P226 with short reset trigger and it wasn't fun to shoot slowly as a target pistol. Get to steel or fast shooting and it became a totally different gun.

If your groupings are inconsistent, you're having issues with your grip and subsequent trigger press, or it's a vision problem. Film yourself in slow-mo while shooting and you'll probably see muzzle movement before the shot goes off. Without seeing that, I'd suggest doing some trigger control at speed drills.

Thanks for the tip!

No issues here. Love my P226 Scorpion! Super accurate for me and great on follow up shots! It's my number one!

I scored a German made steel slide SS P226 from a CG member a little over 10 years ago. He contacted me a few years later begging me- wanting to buy it back... It's my personal favorite handgun by far.

Ditto what everyone else here is saying: If you're not happy with it- just sell it & find something else you like.

I have a bit of a P226 problem, West German, Black Stainless and 1st gen X-Five Tactical. My recommendation is to swap the mainspring for a 17# spring. It transforms the double action pull. I have swapped them in all of mine.

Haven't shot a 226 but I own a 229 and it's perfectly balanced.

maybe just an opinion or preference but i agree with you. i have p226's, p229's, p239's, p220 but p229 is the most natural and comfortable to shoot compare to the rest.

You might try getting some "fat" rubber hogue grips to increase LOP if you feel the trigger is breaking too far back against the frame. I definitely feel that with the Sig skinny "short reach" trigger. Although yours looks to have a standard trigger. I dont have any issues with standard triggers. They are perfect IMHO. But I cant stand the short reach triggers. They pinch the crap out of the pad of my finger. Other than that you may just have to put more rounds down range. I had a P226 TACOPS that I didnt shoot well but I think its because it had the skinny short reach trigger. I love the heck out of my P229s though.

Exact same thing with me and the usp. I kept it and chose to work with it and finally started enjoying it once I really knew it. But it did keep me from ever looking at anything H&K again. My buddy is going through something similar to what you are. After what I went through with the H&K he has chosen to get rid of it,

There's no doubt about it... DA sucks. Everyone hates it. Knowing how to pull a trigger that weighs 10+ pounds and travels about a full inch until it fires is not an easy task and requires skill. I liken shooting DA/SA to driving stick. It takes time to learn and is harder but can yield benefits over other systems once you establish unconscious competence. Learning DA pull is one of the easiest things to do with dryfire since you don't need to rack the slide over and over.

Ammo is not free and unless you want to push through the suck to reach unconscious competence, there is nothing nor a person who is compelling you to keep shooting something you don't want to shoot. I always recommend someone at least learn the manual of arms and develop some type of ability to shoot somewhat accurately using any weapon system, but it is entirely up to you.
