The P-226 in .40 S&W/ 357 sig was the last of a series of Sig Sauers in which I opted for in the two calibers, using conversion barrels. The wrap around rubber hogues proved just slightly more for my trigger reach for double action, while maintaining correct bore alignment. The short trigger proved to be the right decision, now I want it on my other Sig Sauers.
Thanks to TA's "Top Gun Supply", I was able to finish my trigger upgrades on this pistol and acquire some very nice 12 round factory magazines in the process.

Looks good DA! I have an older P226 9mm that was a Police Trade-In. I shoot it more than anything else lately. I have the Hogue rubber grip panels, a set of Tru-Glo TFO sights and I modified the trigger. The original trigger was serrated, so I removed some metal to make it smooth. It is somewhere between a stock trigger and a short trigger. Plus the 9mm is cheap shootin' and makes holes in paper as good as any caliber.
I really do want to get a P226 in 357SIG because I like the P226 platform so well. I am not sure if I want to mess with the DAK system though. I will probably stick with DA/SA.

TA; Other than my Sig Sport Pistols, this 226 has the smoothest and lightest of all my Sig Pistols. When I got the pistol it had a real gritty trigger which I spent some effort in polishing out the contact areas, including where the trigger bar rubs against the inside of the slide's cutout channel. I also replaced the hammer / mainspring spring to a lighter Wolf spring. I tried to have the same success with some of my other triggers but could not improve much on what I already had. The shorter trigger seems to make an already good trigger better.
I got lucky and acquired this pistol from a man who had just gotten married and lost his job a short time thereafter. It turned out that he also had a factory 357 sig barrel which he had also bought for the pistol, none of which he had ever fired.
I bet that if all the contact areas of the fire control system were nickel plated on the Sig Sauers, the smoothness would be very good. Still, I have no complaints.
