The "Sig"ness- vol 1.

[edporch]

40 I can deal with, butt not DAK. UGH

The price tells one how popular they aren't.

YMMV, but I have P229s in both DA/SA and DAK and I have no problem with either.

Yes, a mail order P229 .40 DA/SA with no case and one magazine advertised price is a little more. but not much more than a DAK on GB.

Mail order guns in general have what appears to be a cheap advertised price.
But by the time you pay all the extra fees to get it in your hands, the final total price is nowhere near the advertised price.

I finely shot one myself, it did nothing for me.
I want to say its about $200.00 bucks for parts. If I remember it negates doing it unless it was bought really well, or out of love.

That’s about right. I did it once maybe 4 yrs ago and it cost more than made sense. (I’m a Sig armorer.)

Got my new LOK palmswells on. Didn't think at the time but I may want to change the screws out to not use flatheads

How do the palm swells feel in the hand? I was noticing that on my P220, the Hogues were dang near Glock level of flatness. Great grips, but not a bit of contour to them. CZs have me trained to like a bit of a grip contour.

I love them. I have them on my Walther Q5 and liked them there so I was pretty confident I would like them on the AXG. A small caveat being I like to make sure I get the meat of my support hand thumb behind the gun when gripping and these really help with that.

That's why I don't buy them. I don't want a DAK.
Someone said you can change it all out, but I wonder what the cost would be to do that?

Same here. I changed out a DAK 220 once. It was pricey.

Why are so many police departments sold on DAK? How us that better than your SA/DA P226, P220, P229 etc?
About all I see for sale nowadays is DAK in those LE trade in.

Maybe it was that there was still some revolver legacy mindset still in the higher levels of the administration of the departments. As officers started with revolvers aged through the ranks and retired, to be replaced by officers that started out with semi-autos, maybe the DA only mindset was eliminated.

I don't believe the DAK is better than the SA/DA version.
Departments may have issued the DAK because of training considerations compared to SA/DA training.

There are some who believe it's a harder to learn to safely handle a SA/DA without having unintentional discharges.

For me, having learned on and started out carrying a double action S&W revolver with a typical DA trigger weight of 11 pounds or so for some years, a 6 pound trigger pull for every shot isn't a problem with me.
DAK is in the same ballpark as Glocks, S&W M&P, etc

That does look pretty good. Plus, the P226 is one of the few guns that you can run a factory 9mm, .40 and .357 Sig barrel in with the same mags and two recoil springs. They are pretty nice shooters as well.

Geesh, have you been using an air chisel on those grip screws?

Sorry to deviate from the current discussion, but just had to note that with a couple hundred rounds now through it, my P220 Legion SAO in 10mm is easily the handgun I shoot best. I did get a trigger job on it, but it was well worth it. I’m not good enough with handguns to shoot a 2” group at 10 yards, but I am with this one!

So by shoot the best, you mean shoot the most accurately?

Thanks for the tip! Haven’t seen it local for a bit.

I really enjoy shooting 357 Sig too.

 

[Expat]

Yeah, I think that is back pretty close to pre scamdemic prices.

Shipping was reasonable. 500 rounds to my door was $234 and will give me some more brass to reload.

Not cheap but…
