I just purchased a second DAO P225 off of Gunbroker. My off duty is also a DAO P225 and I really don't need two, but the price was right. My question is what parts do I need to convert one of them back to DA/SA? I have the decocking lever, spring and retaining plate from the first one. What else do I need and where can I get it? I really don't want to have to pay Sig $100 to do it. Thanks guys!

If you wanted a conventional DA why didnt you buy one in the first place? I realize you probably saved a lot of money on this one but I tend to think its better to buy exactly what you want right from the start.

It is no big deal if I can't convert it since this a approved off duty weapon in DAO  for my department, thats the reason I already have one.  If I can't convert it at a reasonable price I will simply sell it to one of my coworkers for a good price and at least break even or make a little on it.  It is a win, win situation no matter how you look at it.

I bought a 226 and converted it.  No big deal, costs about $70 in parts though.  I've probably got a parts list here somewhere.



If you have the bearing, retainer, decocking lever, spring,  then all you need is a hammer.

Looks like I need to just get a hammer.  Thanks guys.  Other than Numrich, where else can I look?  They only have a nickle P225 hammer in stock for $70.  I would tempted to go completely two tone on the gun if I buy that one.

The hammer from SIG should be around $40, IIRC,  but that was the blue one.
