The standard Sig is a single/double action trigger. Because it is a double action you have a lot of take up before you get to the single action trigger. The advantage to this system is you can use the decocker and lower the hammer on a loaded chamber. So your first shot will be double action and every shot thereafter is single action with a long take up. It takes some getting used to, but is quite safe to carry with a loaded chamber. Plus that single action trigger is so sweet right out of the box.

the double single is nice to have for a carry gun. The double is great for folks who are jumpy on the draw and may nd before they get on target. The reset on the sig single is short and very nice. I would practice drawing double action/decocked, pulling through the first shot and then moving to follow up shots. Cocking the hammer back is pointless imho.

Oh yeah, probably don't need to say this, but...dry fire practicing this won't work, you need to first round to fire/cycle the slide so that the firearm is single action, your trigger will be all double action unless you actually fire a round.  When/if I carry my sig, it is round in the chamber, hammer decocked (double action trigger). This is the way the SIG is designed to be carried. It isn't designed to be carried singe action (hammer back) like a 1911. 

I started my wife off on the SIG because it had a long "first" trigger pull. This way if she did have to draw down on someone/thing she might be less apt to put a round in the ground or worse, shoot someone/something that she didn't have to (including herself on the draw) becuase of a very light trigger pull.  She now has a double action only revolver in .357 for the same reasons.  My Sig has a VERY light single action trigger and short reset. 

I went to Glocks a while back and haven't looked back.

What kind of pistol you got?
What do you want to shoot?

Just an fyi... took my new Glock 17 Gen 4 out a couple weeks back... (9mm)

NO Jamming problems at all!!! Glock seems to have that problem resolved on the gen 4.....

My first Glock... need to get used to the "trigger safety" ... I was pulling harder than I should have and was shooting to the right...

Other than that I love that fricken gun!!!

The Mags are a PIA to load though... you need the helper to load the last half of the rounds... spring is way stiff!

We may have to go back and try out a Sig again.  By most likely going to get a S&W M&P. She said that that one felt the most comfortable and she liked the smoothness of the slide when she went  to rack it.

If Hawaii ever loosens up its stranglehold on my choice of carry would be a full size, especially after reading that artiicle.  A Beretta 92 would be my first choice.!

Hmmmm. I put over 10k through one my GEN 3s, never a jam and only two cleanings. Not sure Glock ever had a problem with jams.

Regarding the shooting right thing, are you a lefty?

Stiff spring is great! No last round fail to feed......

The standard Sig is a single/double action trigger. Because it is a double action you have a lot of take up before you get to the single action trigger. The advantage to this system is you can use the decocker and lower the hammer on a loaded chamber. So your first shot will be double action and every shot thereafter is single action with a long take up. It takes some getting used to, but is quite safe to carry with a loaded chamber. Plus that single action trigger is so sweet right out of the box.

the double single is nice to have for a carry gun. The double is great for folks who are jumpy on the draw and may nd before they get on target. The reset on the sig single is short and very nice. I would practice drawing double action/decocked, pulling through the first shot and then moving to follow up shots. Cocking the hammer back is pointless imho.

i'll try it out 

Oh yeah, probably don't need to say this, but...dry fire practicing this won't work, you need to first round to fire/cycle the slide so that the firearm is single action, your trigger will be all double action unless you actually fire a round.  When/if I carry my sig, it is round in the chamber, hammer decocked (double action trigger). This is the way the SIG is designed to be carried. It isn't designed to be carried singe action (hammer back) like a 1911. 

I started my wife off on the SIG because it had a long "first" trigger pull. This way if she did have to draw down on someone/thing she might be less apt to put a round in the ground or worse, shoot someone/something that she didn't have to (including herself on the draw) becuase of a very light trigger pull.  She now has a double action only revolver in .357 for the same reasons.  My Sig has a VERY light single action trigger and short reset. 

I went to Glocks a while back and haven't looked back.

yeah...maybe if i ever make it to magnum i can try it out...

Nah don't spend your hard earned cash to do something you should be able to do anyways,  Go to the January HDF shoot. I'll bring mine and show you what I am talking about....

im pretty sure i know what your talking about...practice practice practice...i was thinking of getting a glock too...something my "old lady" can use...probably a 9mm...when in january is the HDF shoot?

January 21
What kind of pistol you got?
What do you want to shoot?

I got a sig p229 .40...wanted to try (actually get my girl to try) out some 9mm glocks...s&w m&p 9mm...s&w bodyguard .380...

I have a couple 9mm's and 380's that I can bring to the HDF shoot.
She can shoot any of those, I'll have 9mm ammo but bring any .380 ammo that you want to shoot. I don't have any 380 ammo right now.

Anyone wanna do a meet and greet this Saturday at Kokohead?  I put a new short trigger in my 220 and I need to try it out.  Can bring the other hardware too.  If not, then I'm doing SRGC on Sunday.
