Sig Sauer Short Reset Trigger (or SRT)

["DoubleAction"]

I just heard about this trigger from Sigarms and wonder how it differs from the short triggers which has been offered in the past. I've never had much problem with the trigger rest on these pistols but I've also been complaisant in accepting these pistol on certain terms. Sigarms charges $99.95 for gunsmith installation on these triggers; I wonder if anything is involved, other than trigger replacement.

This is a quote from the Sigarms newsletter:

SRT UPGRADE COMING IN MARCH . . .Starting in March you'll be able to upgrade you P220, P220 Carry, P220 Match, P226 and P229 (DA/SA models only) with the new Short Reset Trigger (or SRT) through the SIGARMS® Custom Shop. For just $99.95 let the expert gunsmiths professionally install this great feature that reduced your factory trigger's reset by 60%. The SRT is the same trigger that comes standard in the new Elite Series pistols. Feedback from customers on the SRT has been tremendous so if you are looking for a faster trigger then the SIG Custom Shop has the answer.

For just $99.95

Now if Yugo had used this approach they would still be in business. "For just $1999.95 we will install a gearshift knob that won't break off. That is right folks, for less than $2000..."

When will I buy another Sig? Anyone heard of a drastic temperature drop in hades lately? How many Sig's do I own? I'm going to be sick.

I had the opportunity to look over SIG's SRT Elite models at SHOT. It is very nice. It doesn't take much forward movement to reset the trigger. SIG is telling me it is a parts swap, but it is only available through them in an installation. They will not sell the parts yet. Typical SIG.

I did have reset problems a couple times during competition. Under the pressure of the clock and general competition anxiety, on a couple of occasions I did not reset my trigger.

I do have in my possession an action enhancement on a P226 9mm that was done by reknown pistolsmith Bruce Gray. He modified it for the Short Reset and overtravel stop. The overtravel stop is accomplished by adding material to the back of the trigger. I can't imagine a nicer DA/SA trigger, especially for competition. He will be getting my P220ST for some of his magic soon.

Thanks TA; I'm fairly satisfied with what the regular short triggers has provided over that of the normal factory triggers. The trigger reach has been reduced and the trigger feels much smoother to the pad of my finger. I still have three P-220s, one P-229, one P239, and a 229 Sport with factory triggers which might benefit from the new SRT trigger if it ever becomes available. I did see in Brownell's where TJ custom is offering an improved trigger for the Sig Sauers, but the asking price is over seventy dollars. My only thoughts on TJ's trigger would be if that trigger would be much better than the regular short triggers for half the price.

We sell a lot of short triggers, so they are popular. I am one of those that prefer the standard trigger. The short trigger has a tendency to pinch my finger between the frame and the trigger, probably from letting my finger slide too far. I do like the smooth face vs. serrated. My P226 trigger had a date with the dremel and it now sports a smooth trigger face. My P220ST came with a short trigger, so as soon as we get the standard ones in stock, it will be changed out.
