Which Trigger on a P220?

[HMMurdock]

This has probably been done already, but vote for your preference on a trigger for a Sig P220. Do you prefer the traditional Double-Action/Single-Action (DA/SA), the new Double-Action Kellerman (DAK) or perhaps the Single-Action Only (SAO)?

I've fired all three and see merits to them all. The DA/SA is classic, but a long first trigger. The DAK is a consistent trigger pull but a bit stiff and revolver-like in its travel. And the SAO is crisp but the safety can be a hassel in certain situations. If you were given a P220, which trigger would you request and why?

Thanks for the insight.

Maybe it's just me, but I like the DA/SA triggers.

Don't forget the SRT trigger that comes on the Elite models. It has a shorter reset and faster trigger return than the standard DA/SA. Of course, I don't really consider it another "type" of trigger, just an improved or enhanced take on the classic DA/SA.

I despise DA/SA triggers.

When the first shot has got to count, make mine SA.

I'm with 10-Ring. You can master the DA first shot on a Sig with a little practice. If I want to carry in Condition 1 I'll grab a 1911.

 

[DevilDog0402]

SAO for me!

 

[HMMurdock]

How many have experience with all three to give it a fair assessment?

The DAK is nice, but I have no problems with the DA/SA trigger either. This target was from a few weeks ago. I think it was something like 20 rounds, all fired single shot, DA. All it takes is practice. The gun was a P-220 and the picture was taken with my cell phone with the strong sun light coming from behind the target.

I have experience with all three. My preference for carry is DA/SA. My preference for steel plates is SAO. I could get used to the DAK for carry, but I've had DA/SA sigs for a long time and have gotten used to it. I haven't yet had a chance to shoot an Elite with the SRT (to busy selling them to keep them), but from what my customers have told me, they really like it.

I like my DA/SA, personal prefrence

 

[HMMurdock]

What can be said about the SRT? Can any DA/SA be modified to be an SRT? Can you get a standard P220 with an SRT or does it have to be an elite?

 

[Chem Geek]

The SRT reduced the reset between SA shots on the DA/SA Sigs by something like 60%. You can get the SRT added to any DA/SA P220.

I'd like to try the SAO, and own a DA/SA Sig and have shot the DAK Sig. Really it comes down to personal preference. If you take time to practice, you can be fast and accurate with any of them.

 

[RNB65]

I voted SA. Since a P220 would be a range gun only for me, I'd want a crisp, short, lightweight trigger for target shooting. For carry or self defense, I'd go with with the DAK. Add me to the list of those who despise DA/SA.

 

[sig226]

SigArms will convert any of their DA/SA pistols to the SRT at the factory. I think the cost is about $100. I'm not sure of the turnaround time, none of my customers have done it.

 

[Radjxf]

I like the DA/SA. With reduced power springs, or a well-used gun, the Sig DA trigger can be very smooth. Can't stand the DAK. If I wanted a SAO range gun I'll probably reach for a nice 1911, although some of the Sig P220 Match guns look very impressive.

The Classic DA/SA

 

[8830]

I voted for the DA/SA. My P220 wear a short trigger. I could never get use to the DAK and if I want a SAO I"ll get a 1911.

 

[evan price]

Da/Sa for me, thanks, I like being able to carry chambered & decocked and not need to work a safety, cock the hammer, just draw and squeeze the trigger.
Plus I know it won't fire if banged, bumped, dropped, squeezed or jostled. And I won't have to worry about the safety getting knocked into FIRE accidentally while moving around.
1911's don't do anything for me and having an external safety on a carry gun is something I do not subscribe to. The only reasonable safety is between my ears.

 

[HorseSoldier]

When I got around to buying a P220, I opted for the DA/SA. Have not put rounds through DAK trigger models, but did not care for it's feel in the gun store. SAO felt pretty good, but, like other people have said, I have 1911s if I want a single action trigger.

 

[usp_fan]

I'd take the SAO b/c I've already got the TDA and would love the try SIG's version of SAO.

[medmo]

DA/SA with a SRT please.

 

[Daemon688]

Since I wouldn't be carrying the P220 ever, I would go for the SAO. Otherwise I prefer the DAK trigger.

 

[SWMAN]

I have both a 220 & 226 DA/SA and a 220SAO. SAO is the best. I've also read that the SAO is better than the DAK. Now, the DA is too heavy, whereas the SA is just right.
