Just picked up a nice 226R in 9mm, question I have is ... anyone running the Armory craft( or other) straight trigger on your 226 DA/SA?
reason I ask is, I have to replace the trigger with the short reach trigger shoe due to my short fingers.... all of my 320's have the straight triggers and I kinda like them so I was thinking maybe ordering a straight trigger for my 226.  what is it like having a straight trigger on a DA/SA?

Don't know about flat trigger, but "short reach" just plain suck on classic 200 series SIGs. The pull curve is just wrong and unnatural. If you have standard grips, the E2 grip will be much better with regular trigger if you have an issue with the trigger reach.

It looks like a lot of the flat trigger sit forward. Have you played with on to see if the reach is ok?

I should have added my 226 came with the E2 grip, the standard trigger is just to "thick" or forward set in DA that I cannot get my finger pad on it comfortably.
I have not yet seen a 226 DA/SA with a flat trigger at any of my local gun shops... I did hold the legion SAO and the trigger was great.
  from what I am reading/watching Both the Armorycraft and the Grayguns adjustable flat triggers are set a little rearward to get rid of some of the pre-travel... the Armorycraft has a solid bump and I believe the Grayguns uses an adjustment screw.

Measuring with a straight line from the middle of the trigger shoe to the shortest point on the grip...  my 320 is 2- 3/4" and the 226 is 3" the 320 I can get enough finger pad on to be comfortable.

The DA/SA 226 with a flat trigger would sit way too far forward if the standard trigger is too big. I would also imagine the trigger pull in DA would be awkward even with a lighter hammer spring.

I know the P365 is totally different than the P226, but you could try and find something similar in Sig's line with a flat trigger and get a "feel" for the flat shoe and angle. The P229 Legion with its flat trigger and beavertail were deal breakers for me, so I ended up with a P229R with srt which is just my preference
