Well the reset on my German 228 does anyway
 So, I'm getting the SRT kit to help with that. Thought I'd ask, while I'm in there is there any no-brainer stuff I can do to improve the DA?

I've only shot the P226 and I remember the reset being very nice? Very positive and not so long that I made note of it. It was a friends gun he bought used, but I highly doubt it had any work done. Is the stock reset that bad?

I just put a 19lb hammer spring in one of my 226s, and it made a world of difference.

I expect not though, stock is only 21lbs. The hammer spring does not have anything to do with the slide velocity. The mainspring controls the tension/force necessary to cock the hammer in double action mode. The slide velocity is managed by the recoil spring. They are 2 different springs. The recoil spring is around the guide rod under the barrel. The hammer mainspring is at the rear of the grip. Both can replaced with different weight springs. |

Thread title is correct for both Sig pistols and rifles... The exception should be the Sig 1911's. Even Sig shouldn't be able to fuck up a 1911 trigger.

You have owned this P228 for how long and just now decided this about the trigger? There is nothing wrong with most SIG triggers. |

I have replaced my hammer springs with the 19 lbs. hammer springs. It improves the feel and I still have reliability. I will say I like the the short reset trigger much more than the stock trigger reset.

As the slide moves rearward it pushes the hammer back to cock it. A heavier hammer spring means more resistance. This is why you'll often see 1911 shooters who use lighter recoil springs add extra power hammer springs. I'm not at all worried of any issue with using a 19 vs. 21 lb hammer spring in my P226 though; my post above was mostly tongue in cheek. |
