No. I spoke to them the day I posted this thread.

My information is current too...my last correspondence with them was on Thursday. I'd love to try out their actions, but they've been out of stock for quite some time. I imagine this is the lament when working with in-demand people...you gotta wait, sometimes for a very long time. It's that way with cars, it's that way with motorcycles, and it's that way with guns. | |||

I believe the update on May 8 2018 was in reference to their policy and not the actual wait time update. | |||

I can only guess at what's going on, but it looks like they've been constrained on parts for quite some time. Their website may list wait times of a few weeks, but that is really dependent on parts availability. If the parts are available, that's great. If the parts are not available (like P-series action kits), then those few weeks end up stretching into months. | |||

I've been satisfied with their work. Sure you could get better with GGI, but I'm happy enough and it only takes two to three weeks Max. Pretty affordable too. They used to do a fathers day special with free shipping, but I didn't see it this past year. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

You realize that when you send in your Sig for an action job they are working with the parts in your Sig and not using an action kit. GG can install them but the action kits are primarily for owners who can do the install themselves or have a local gunsmith install them. That is why you can purchase (when available) from places like Top Gun Supply and others. | |||

"You realize that when you send in your Sig for an action job they are working with the parts in your Sig and not using an action kit. GG can install them but the action kits are primarily for owners who can do the install themselves or have a local gunsmith install them. That is why you can purchase (when available) from places like Top Gun Supply and others." I am not convinced that that is really the case. In my case, I wanted to send my gun in (obviously) and followed their service request process. If you request a standard (not custom) action job, what is listed on their cost estimate (statement of work) is a line item for their parts kit (in my case, "PPAK Gen 2 Self Defense"), plus a line item called "Install and fit of the P-PAK Kit". Bottom line: If you want a "standard" (as opposed to custom) Gray Guns job, what you get is their parts kit plus install/fit. That only makes sense...how would they put out great work if they had to use your existing, probably worn-out parts? Besides, if you check their website for the standard Action Package descriptions, that is what they say...their parts plus installation. OK then. It gets more curious...just for the hell of it, I just checked Top Gun Supply for the P-Pak Gen 2 Self-Defense Kit. The same parts kit that is listed on the Grayguns website and my 9-month old estimate is now "discontinued" at Top Gun Supply. | |||

There is a difference between the Action Cleanup Perfection "Service" and the P-Series Perfection Action "Kit". The PPAK Gen 2 Self Defense parts kit plus the line item called install and fit is when you purchase the kit from GG and have GG install it. When I purchased their Action Cleanup Perfection Service for $295,for my P226 there was no selecting a parts kit or install charge. Same thing when they worked on my well used P228. https://grayguns.com/action-cl...-perfection-service/ | |||

I have messed with a few p series with custom shop work done and all they feel like is a classic p series pistol that has had 1-2k rounds shot through it. I have yet to have GG or Burke work on one of my guns but I have plans to send 2 P226's to mr. Burke at the start of the new year. I would recommend going this route over the custom shop. | |||

Sparkyk: That link you gave was the same process I followed. What came back in the resulting estimate for my "service" request were line items for the kit plus installation. There's not much else to tell I'm afraid...maybe I'll try their new straight trigger in the future. In the meantime, I'm in the same boat as the OP...I can either use the Sig custom shop (decent, moderately priced, factory warranty and you know what you are getting)...or I might try out Robert Burke (fantastic reputation, factory certified armorers, a bit higher price and what looks on the website like a pretty straightforward order process). | |||

Robert is usually two weeks or less! Risk the consequences of honesty... | |||

Res ipsa loquitur |
I had them do that exact package to my W German P228. They botched it like no other. My DA came back at nearly 20 lbs pull. When they tried to fix it, it came back with light primer strikes. They then told me it was an old gun and in essence shutup and stop complaining. Of course, it worked perfectly before they got a hold of it. I finally had one of our moderators, who is a certified SIG Armorer, put a complete new spring kit and go through it. It seems to work now but I don’t have any confidence in it. And for the record, when I sent it in, it was working flawlessly. I wouldn’t give them anything to work on - even if it was free. __________________________ | |||

Another Robert Burke fan. I do love Grayguns too but Robert has a quicker turn around right now and is good to go. I would send my pistol to one of those two before sending it to the factory custom shop. Sometimes, you gotta roll the hard six | |||

You get what you pay for. Big SIG fan. Not a big AEP fan as I have seen the quality of some of the work over the years and it looks like a chainsaw was used to remove a pimple. There are better options IMO. | |||

Speaking of "getting what you pay for", can anybody offer their opinions of Robert Burke's "P-Series Carry Level Action Job" plus the Total Automations QTR Trigger? I don't have much to go on from his website, but they look like possibly great alternatives to AEP+SRT. | |||

The DA/SA pull on my new M11-A1 was far from what it is on my West German P220 It was suggested to send it in to have an action job done by some. I went with the simple approach first after a couple hundred rounds. Installed a Wolff 18# mainspring. Foam plug under the hammer and dry fire, a lot. Did not like the trigger, replaced it with an Armory Craft slightly curved adjustable trigger. Shot some more and lots more dry firing with cleaning and lubing the action once in awhile. Much better now than when it was new, don't think I'll send it in as it feels pretty good to me. The AC hammer should be shipping soon and then it's more dry fire time. I figured if I'm going to be sitting in queue for weeks I may as well just dry fire the crap out of it and see what happens. | |||

Worth every penny. I don't know what else you want from his website. If you look under FAQs section, the explanations are a little more detailed. Did I mention, worth every penny? 
I'll add that, although his website says "QTR shortens the single action reset just as much as the SRT does", my experience with my two P226 LDCs is that it shortens more than the the SRT does. Q | |||

I’ve heard this more often than not, which is kind of sad. The cash outlay is no drop in a bucket for so-so work. | |||

If all else fails you can reach out to GerryR of Total Automation. He has been able to modify a handful of SIG P22X parts for me over the years. I’ve been happy with the work. I tried reaching out to GGI but they stated they weren’t in a position to accept any custom work. That was about a little over a year ago. I ended up going the TJ’s custom gun works route for a barrel mod so far it’s worked and haven’t given me any problems. | |||
