Sig P series trigger upgrade

[powermad]

I've had my M11-A1 for a couple months and only have a couple hundred rounds through it but I do dry fire the hell out of it.
It has the SRT trigger that is great but I don't like the Short Reach Trigger that goes with it .
It's not comfortable and pinches the crap out of my finger .

Armory Craft to the rescue.

Should have this installed next week along with an 18lb spring to soften up the DA a bit .

This trigger still retains the Short Reset and can be used in guns without SRT .

I'm not going to polish yet, just keep working it and see if the Phosphated internals wear in
It seems that coating is a bit rougher than others and takes a bit to break in .
Kinda stiff SA at the moment, nowhere near 4.5 LBS that's for sure.

It is still pretty new. I'll shoot it a bunch more and see if it settles in before sending it to Sig.
Grayguns was my first choice but they seem to be pretty busy all the time with a 6 week queue.

The Armory Craft trigger won't change pull weight but should suit me better.
It would be nice to get the DA/SA pull to where my P220 is at that has not had any work done to it other than shooting and cleaning.

Beside the unique shape of the trigger, you can adjust pretravel and aftertravel with the Armory Craft trigger, so that's one thing really beneficial. And, you will see that the tiny 18lb hammer spring does make the gun way easier to shoot.

I have tried both grayguns and Robert Burke. Gray guns will replace some of the parts with their steel tool grade parts while Robert will just work on the stock MIM parts unless you provide tool steel parts by yourself. They both do amazing jobs but I still prefer Robert Burke when it comes to a trigger job.

Now I do trigger jobs by myself since I bought the power custom fixture. My P226 LDC has a consistent trigger pull weight of 2.5lb after my own trigger job. It took a little while for me to understand the Sig pistol mechanism but then I was clearly able to pin point the locations to be polished. Now that I have the knowledge, all I needed to perform a reliable trigger job is using correct tools and carefulness of knowing when to stop polishing.

I was so worried about failures in the beginning so I bought enough spare parts in case I mess up, but they never happened. I think trigger job is something you can do, too - if you consider yourself being able to perform a delicate job.

Finally got it and it's installed and adjusted.
They were closed from 10-19 thru 11-06, ordered it on the 20th and I got an e-mail on Wed that's it's on it's way.



The trigger fits snug in the frame with zero side to side movement.
Pre and overtravel is adjusted and it's solid.
Short Reset is pretty amazing.
Does not pinch my finger at all either which is the main reason I gave it a try.
Swapped in an 18# mainspring as well.

It feels so much better now, the DA pull is much better and the SA pull dropped a lot it seems.
Cleaning all the break in slurry out and fresh oil applied helped a bit I'm sure.

Good bang for the buck and it's an easy install.

Original trigger.

My hammer from them should be shipping soon, I knew I should have ordered the 2 pack deal.

The ol P220 with that trigger and an SRT is making me all fuzzy inside.

My Bud and I have a matching pair of P220s. Mine has a factory stock trigger, and his has the SIG shop trigger in it. Both are SIG shop pieces.
Mine shoots way crispier than his. In fact he tired to buy/trade mine away. After he sold it to me.

I am so freakin Leary of doing anything to it

I went with Grayguns EDC trigger in a few of my pistols couldn't be happier.

 

[Ops]

I had a couple of their flat triggers. I went with a gray guns flat on my p220 10mm and like it. If i go with another flat i will stick with the gray guns
