DAK and SAO Conversions by SIG...

[nanerclip]

SIG offers DAK and SAO trigger conversions to their standard production "R" line of pistols (which are obviously MA compliant).

I understand that I can make mods to my MA compliant pistol once it is in my possession - effectively turning it into a non MA compliant pistol. But, can I send the pistol to SIG (out of state) for a DAK or SAO mod and have them send the handgun back to me?

I believe the answer is "yes", but I just want to be sure.

Save the shipping, take it to Four seasons Woburn, they can do the mods.

Will Four Seasons do a DAK conversion?

 

[nanerclip]

Jim, thanks, that saves me on shipping and I'll probably get the conversions done faster. I wasn't aware that FS did the conversions.

Steve_P, according to their site, yes, they do the DA/SA to DAK conversion...

They don't have SAO conversions listed, but I'm sure they offer them as well.

Realize, however, that only fairly recent Sigs can be converted to DAK. Earlier models can't be converted.

 

[jim42]

nanerclip,I do DAK,and DOA at the shop,hopefully your gun is new enough for the DAK conv .Does it have a rail? JIM

 

[nanerclip]

Yes, the SIG's that I have that I'd like converted all "R" models. Can you do an SAO conversion on a P220 (R)? Thanks.

 

[jim42]

No SAO CONV

Good luck getting the factory to do a DAK conversion on an MA gun. Forget it. (they're very anal retentive about NOT doing this, despite the fact that it's completely legal. ) If you -really- want it, I'd talk to Jimmy at FS. He does good work. (I've dropped guns off at FS to have them worked on, and he's done a good job every time. )

I don't think any SIG P-series pistols can be "converted" to single action
because more than likely the frames are very different.

I'm going to stop in FS whenever I get the chance to head out that way. I'm going to have at least two of my SIG's converted to DAK... want a few other things done as well.

Yeah, I wasn't sure or not if SIG would even do it. I'd still like to get my 220 converted to SAO. I really want the 9mm 226 X-5 Tactical, but I'll settle for getting my 220 converted to SAO.

Wow that SAO 220 looks pretty nice. I'd buy a 226 tomorow if I could get one in SAO.

The factory does not offer SAO conversions, so I doubt Four Seasons would either.

I am interested, however, in the SRT trigger (60% shorter trigger reset). I wonder if Four Seasons does that.

I have been working on getting the SRT kits but every time I call there out.JIM

SIG offers SAO conversions to the 220R only. At least that's what their '07 sales booklet says.

Jim, what's the deal with the "short trigger". I know it basically shortens the trigger pull by moving it's position rearward, but by how much? Is it in an SA position for both DA/SA with the DA being a short 10 lb pull and the SA maintaining the 4.4 lb pull? Thanks.

FWIW the original short trigger does not change the trigger pull characteristics at all. All it does is make the trigger physically skinnier, so people with small hands can reach the trigger easier. I had one on my P239 and had it ripped out. (It felt awkward to me... )

The SRT on the other hand (short reset trigger) basically cuts the single action reset way down. I would imagine installing the SRT is more involved because internal parts have to be changed out.

+1 Mike, better leverage for short fingers
