As some of you may remember, my Sig P228 pistol broke about three weeks ago.  I called SigArms last week and they sent me the right side trigger spring at no charge.  It arrived in the mail today.  It was a very easy 5 second install.  So I now have my Sig back in operation!!

SigSauer is topnotch as far as I am concerned!!

Oh boy.....Thats interesting.  I have a SIG 228.  I have had only one jam up with about 400 rounds.  What do you think caused your problem?  I am very interested cause my 228 is my "concealed carry" gun.

thanks....

Oh, glad to here that you got your problem squared away.

Orion526,

I bought the P228 second hand two years ago.  SInce then I have put way over 2000+ rounds thru it myself, who knows how many were fired before that.  If you take off your grips you will see a 3/4 circular wire/spring towards the top.  This is what broke.  It holds up the lever that attaches the trigger to the hammer.  I have had the pistols grips off a few times and this wire tends to catch on things, this I believe was the main cause of its fatigue.

When I called SigSauer(603-772-2302) they told me it was reccommended that this wire/spring get replaced every 3 years, regardless of how many rounds fired thru it.  Like I said earlier, they sent me the spring for free!!  Give them a call and maybe they can send on out to you, just in case you ever need it.  It really is simple to put in, just hook one side into a hole and slide the other end into a grove.  If you take your grips off and look at the one installed now you will understand how it works.

I will reiterate: I believe the springs breakage was more the result of my actions than anything else.
