SIG P220 Trigger Job

[Old Glory]

Hi purchased a Mass Sig P220. I have a P228 that has a non-mass trigger. In comparison the P220 trigger is really bad.


I am looking for recommendations to fix the trigger. My search came up with Gray guns.

They are pricey at $200.00. I know you get what you pay for but does anyone have any other recommendations?


Thank in advance.

David Santurri in North Attleboro. He did a trigger job on a Sig for me and He's real fast and a lot cheaper than that..

Unless this is something I'm unaware of, Sig has no such thing as a Mass Trigger. That's either the regular trigger, or a broken trigger. If it's DA/SA model, the normal trigger is a 12-14 pound pull with some amount of staging, or a 4 pound trigger with some pre-travel. Both smoothed out nicely for me after only 50-100 rounds (but a smith can obviously make it nicer).

I don't think Gray Guns will reduce this weight significantly for a carry gun (ie, without a competition package).

Maybe your p228 is really worn out/broken in/has had springs replaced? What exactly is the P220 doing to make you think "Mass trigger"?

FWIW, There is no such thing as a P220 with a "mass" trigger. All of the newer DA/SA P220s have exactly the same springs in them.

Chances are your P228 is one of the old german ones like what I have, and it's broken in quite a bit, and the spring is worn in a bit which makes the pull
a lot nicer. The german sears also seem to be a bit different, which makes the single action pull a lot better.

If you are just trying to get the DA weight down, you can get new springs from wollf gunsprings and replace your mainspring with a lower power one. Just be sure to replace it every 5000 rounds or so. (replacing the mainspring is easy and can be done in 5 minutes, just watch your fingers, that little plastic strut under there is a pain in the ass, kinda. )

As far as suggestions, Bruce Gray is the man. Yes, he's expensive, but they do good work. Whatever you do, don't send your gun to the factory....

ETA: As another option I'd also reccomend PMing Greg Derr on here to see if he does action jobs on Sig P series guns.... might be a bit easier to just drive your gun down
to him if he does.

Thanks. The trigger on the 228 is very smooth with a nice break in single action. The 220 is "crunchy" in comparison especially in the double action pull. In single action there is some take up that has a bump then a rest then the fire.

I'll give Derr and Santini a call to see what they can do.

Thanks again.

Looking around a little bit I also found that Four Seasons has a SIG Armorer on staff...Jimmy Flynn. Anyone know if he is any good?

I have a P220 that has had no work done to it and it has a great trigger. If you want a trigger job I recommend David Santurri. He did trigger jobs on a S&W 586 and a model 24. He did a nice and very fast job.

Took it to Santurri today. Trigger weight measured 12 lbs on his scale. Felt rough because the internalmechanisim was rubbing against the inside of the grip. He said it is easily fixed and he can smooth out the trigger and lighten it up no problem. Also dropped off my M&P 9.

Thanks for the recommendation.
