DA/SA SIG: Convertible to DAO?

[Chuck Perry]

I've a friend with a P245 set up DA/SA. He likes the pistol, but really wants something in DAO. He is looking around to trade it towards the same gun in DAO. I am wondering if it is possible for this pistol to be converted, either at the factory or by a SIG armorer?

Yes, it is possible, and has been done. The hammer and some other small parts are changed, and the decocking lever deleted. This looks a bit odd as the grip panel - which is relieved for the decocker to sweep through its arc - is not changed, but has no effect on function. The pull will be the same as the original first-shot DA, all the time; the length of the stroke is not changed. Sigarms can convert it, and upon request can reduce the pull weight to about 10 lbs.

Great, I'll get him to contact SIG and see what the process is. Thanks for the help.

I have a P245 that was converted to DAO by its previous owner. I dont know if SIG did the work or someone else, but it had a very nice trigger and worked well. I converted it back to DA/SA as I prefer commonality with my other SIG's and it keeps things simple. Still has a nice trigger and works well. The previous owner was nice enough to leave the original parts with the gun, and it was an easy swap.

There's a kit out there that has all of the neccesary parts, can be done for <$30. I'd look it up, but I'm out the door. Midway sells it, if that helps.
