i've looked at SIGs for the last few years, and they have a good weight/balance for me..but..each one i've checked had a terrible trigger pull..lotsa mush and not a clean break..i know many love their SIGs so they must have found a way to improve their trigger..please advise how a stock SIG trigger can be improved thanks |

I m a bit puzzled by your post. What...exactly...do you mean by "lotsa mush and not a clean brake"? If you are looking for a match-level 1911 trigger on an out of the box Sig, it ain't gonna happen, but I have two 220's currently and both have very good SA triggers. If you speak of DA triggers, then the standard Sig DA is "good" but not up to the level of the DAK guns...but these are all service grade trigger issues...not match triggers. I can, with much care, get results from either of my 220s that will be better than any from a new, unmodified Colt Gold Cup out to 50yd. any day of the week, (with better reliability) and I consider that to be pretty damned good for a stock service pistol. Clarification, please. |
| 'lotsa mush' means long inconsistent weight of trigger pull in DA mode usually solved by polishing pins, stoning bearing surfaces or lightening springs...during DA pull, SIG triggers that i have tried seem to waddle or rock on pins/surfaces with excessive lateral movement between trigger assembly and frame/pins...once lateral movement of trigger is minimized, a 'crisp break' could be achieved by proper stoning of sear...all of these remedies require a skilled SIG gunsmith and assume there's enough material to work with (without destroying the case hardening)...a consistent 8 lb DA pull with 5-6 lb crisp break would be adequate, but i'd like to find out how this can be achieved with a stock trigger, if SIG provides trigger upgrades/smithing, or if SIG owners have found another way to get good results...please advise |

My P228 had a heavier, less smooth pull than my P220 but I treated both to a home smithing trigger job thanks to the Gunplumber video. It's really not that hard to clean up the feel of the trigger and make the break more crisp. Wolff sells hammer springs in reduced weights for the guns. You can get a 4 pack of different weights and test what your gun likes. I generally want a long heavy pull in a defensive pistol. I hate cocked and locked for that reason. A target gun is another matter though. |
