Yes, according to Top Gun Supply's website: https://www.topgunsupply.com/faq.html Parts to convert from DAK to DA/SA Decocking Lever Decocking Lever Spring Decocking Lever Bearing Hammer Hammer Strut Pin (except P239 which is integral) Hammer Reset Spring Hammer Strut Mainspring Safety Lever Sear Sear Spring Trigger Bar DA/SA Grips with Decocking Lever cutout "Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every New Yorker's God-given right!" - GhostBusters II "You have all the tools you need.

Converting a DAK trigger to DA/SA won’t require a new sear. It’s also unlikely that the grip plates will have to be changed. I have never seen factory plates that weren’t compatible with the DA/SA decocking lever other than the very rare “slim” P229 DAK version. And lastly, the hammer strut pin is usually supplied already installed in the DA/SA hammer. All the rest, yes. ► 6.4/93.6 “I regret that I am to now die in the belief, that the useless sacrifice of themselves by the generation of 1776, to acquire self-government and happiness to their country, is to be thrown away by the unwise and unworthy passions of their sons, and that my only consolation is to be, that I live not to weep over it.” — Thomas Jefferson | |||

What about converting a DA/SA to DAK? New sear? Sear spring? | |||

If changing from DA/SA to DAK, the sear spring should be changed; the DAK spring is not as powerful, and that reduces pull weight slightly. The sear would not have to be changed if the later version is in the gun, as it probably is if the gun is DAK-compatible to begin with.

As a followup to this, since these threads have a tendency to stay around for a while, the P224 grips/grip plates are NOT compatible. The DAK (both E2 and G-10) overlap the decocker travel space, as you can see circled in red in the picture. In addition, the shown DA/SA decocker side grip plate has machined openings on the back side to provide space for the decocker and spring. As an FYI, the upper P224 is a converted DAK to DA/SA with SRT, including a drilled second hole for the two-post decocker bearing. Although you can use the single post P-series version, it allows rotation/play that is eliminated with the two-post bearing.  This message has been edited.
