I was picking up my new M&P9L Grant shipped to Texas for me today when, The store owner showed me something new in his showcase.
A Sig 227 SAS. Short trigger with the SRT and night sights. It is the DA/SA pistol.
It felt wonderful in my meat hooks. I kidingly asked what he would allow on a very nice NIB M&P!
You Sig fans, if you have not handled a 227, you owe it to yourself to wrap your hands around it.
The DA trigger on the 227 was smoother than my 226 9mm which has been shot some.
Heaven, I was in Heaven… My 20th wedding anniversary is later this year, it may be on my gift list for the wife to buy me. Our jeweler is just down the road from the gun shop so we can kill 2 birds in one trip!
If it is as reliable as Sigs are supposed to be you will be kicking yourself if it doesn’t go home with you at some point. I know Sigs of late have had a bad track record but I can’t help but feel like I want to give them another chance since they are typically accurate with smooth triggers.
I just added a Bruce Grey Precision Intermediate Trigger to both pistols and an SRT to the full size. Bruce’s trigger is amazing; eliminates over travel and bite.
Ahh, I love my Sigs. I am just waiting to catch a P227 to show up in my LGS (that’s why I have been hiding from there). I know it will come home with me…
When I dropped the mag, racked the slide, pulled the trigger and used the decocker, it all felt Sig front to back. Dry fire was Sig sounding, it all worked like one of my original Sig 226’s from the early 90’s. It will be my next Sig purchase.
The fact that they are lower quality and higher priced than comparable HKs is stupefying. I can only surmise there are people who don’t know about Cohen’s changes and will purchase based on the reputation from years past.
I checked out a 227 at my LGS. It felt great in my hand and had a very nice trigger. I won’t be first in line to buy one, but if it can go a year or two without showing any major issues I’ll probably pick one up.
It depends on personal view on pistol purpose. Some prefer those who shoot every time they want them to shoot, some prefer those who have nice triggers. All is personal choice and there are no ideal solutions. If they were, world would be very boring place
Actually, I’ve noticed a number of things with HK triggers… First, I see this a lot over at HKpro, where I lurk from time to time. I use them as a example because I get the feeling that a lot of folks over there, just don’t shoot as much as many here, do. As a result, they never get the guns triggers fully smoothed out from actual shooting…(Low Speed, I’m NOT saying that you don’t shoot a lot,or that you don’t know what you’re talking about) But you see a lot of complaints over there, as well as people sending them off to B.Springfield for a “trigger job” (aka hack job) without ever giving the pistols a chance to smooth out. I’ve got a P-2000 LEM that has about 4k through it, It is very smooth, I’ve also got a HK45t I bought a couple months ago, when I first got it the DA pull was rough, stiff. Now after about 1k through it, it has improved quite a bit, Now, it’s just a stiff DA pull, manageable, but stiff. I’m going to try a Wolfe USP45 12lb hammer spring in it, from what I can find out, the HK45, and USP45 use the same springs. I’m hoping this spring change will reduce the DA pull by about a pound, to pound and half, and have no reliability problems. If this works, it should be very shootable.
