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?

Quoted: 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?  |

interesting. no problems with increased slide velocity? Quoted:

I just put a 19lb hammer spring in one of my 226s, and it made a world of difference. I'll tell you after I shoot it this weekend. 
I expect not though, stock is only 21lbs. |

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. |

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

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. |
