Opinion on buying a new Sig226

[Gammon]

My point being that there is no such thing as a "Mass trigger" in a Sig. The trigger in a "Mass compliant" Sig is the same trigger you'll get in the equivalent model gun in any other state. They don't ship a special trigger in MA guns. True, we're limited to the basic plain-Jane non-SRT models here but that has less to do with the trigger and more to do with the fact that Sig hasn't run those models through the stupid MA testing yet.

And just our of curiosity, in your opinion who has a better DA/SA trigger?

The old style trigger leavesd a lot to be desired; the reset is far too long in my opinion. This is why I suggested that a potential buyer try the pistol before buying.

I find the DA/SA trigger on the S&W 5906 to be far superior to the old style SIG P226 out of the box. It offers a reset with no take up much like the 1911. I now prefer my P226 to the S&W, but I spent a lot of $ on it.

That you say it's 1/4" in SA makes me think it's not an SRT. You can dry fire it and figure it out. If you pull the trigger and hold it all the way back, then cycle the slide so the hammer is cocked, then start to release the trigger, the SRT will take about 1/8" to reset (you'll hear and feel the click). The regular trigger is more like 1/4" for the reset.

Tested this and confirmed what you thought - This is a Short Reach Trigger, not a Short Reset Trigger. When I held the trigger, cycled the slide then slowly released the trigger, it when back about 3/8" before I heard the reset. Then when I pull back again (after cycling the slide) the trigger moves back without any resistance about 1/4", then there is the 4lb trigger pull for what seems to be 1/8". I am not sure I would spend the money for the Short Reset Trigger. I would have to try one first. I am still getting used to it and am still having an issue with the surprise break of the trigger. Need lots more range time...
