DA/SA, DAO, or DAK
Still looking for an Sig P239 which typically is listed as DA/SA, but I found several that had come with a DAK trigger. It seems this model has two resets, which give different trigger pulls. Then I found a model that was listed as DAO, which I’m familiar with. Anyone familiar with this DAK trigger?

From the sig Web site. Seems overly complicated


The acronym DAK refers to a SIG SAUER-exclusive design for several of its double action, semi-automatic handguns dubbed “Double Action Kellerman.” These are fired by pressing the trigger to the rear which causes the hammer to cock and release. Upon reset, the trigger system can reset to either a lighter or intermediate double-action trigger press and there is no need to decock the hammer as the hammer follows the slide forward after the shot. The DAK trigger reduces the second shot trigger pull from around 10 pounds to 6.5 pounds of pressure. SIG SAUER designs such as the P226 and P229 pistols are available with DAK triggers.

I read this earlier and don’t think I fully understand what they are saying. I tend to stay away from things that sound too complicated. Seems like they are saying there are two trigger resets, depending on when you pull the trigger.

think of as the hammer spring is already compressed so the pull is much lighter.

As with any firearm system. Training and practice is the key to learning it.

It is those who don't train or practice that have problems

Ray you need to try the HK P7 series of pistols.

Lighting fast out of the holster and cocks when you grab it.

Hasher,
Wife says I have to many pistols. but I have been lookig at the Kahrs, Roll Eyes

Ive been retired longer than most have served and have no real need for a pistol but do carry one when traveling or when I feel the need, a glock 43X or a S&W chief special, with feeble hands I like the revolver, if it jams all I have to do is pull the trigger again..
