Don't know anything about the 238 or 938, but the X-guns are completely different animals with their non-stranded recoil springs. All other classic P-series SIGs currently have their own factory color coded stranded recoil springs.

This was an easy error to make, as the LDC was specified for a white 228-9 spring.

If you want a new rod, let us know and we’ll send you a couple FAT’s so they match.

Do you think the poor trigger is due to the use of the e2 specific mainspring strut vs the shorter mainspring strut used in new Sigs? I switched to a 17lb spring and have been doing lots of dry firing, which has improved things tremendously.

Second note, regarding the trigger. My trigger is smooth with less effort required than my other factory P226. I don't have a trigger gauge, but it was pleasant in both DA and SA.
Not "heavy", and definitely not the workout that 12131 described on his...

But, no matter, they will get a trip to Burke, whenever I get around to it.

On a more positive note, you can create your own P226 LDCT and P226 LDCRT by swapping slides

Probably be one of the first to try it

What do you think I was doing when I took off them slides?

To clarify my comment regarding the use of the white 228-9 recoil spring in the 226LDC9, this is what we've long observed as SIG SAUER practice when down-springing certain P-Series target sport models, such as the old Sport Stock, AllRound or other Master Shop builds. The shorter 228 spring is intended to serve as a de facto reduced rate spring for such heavy, 15mm barrel, tight full size 9's which may not otherwise cycle reliably with standard orange springs. Alternatively, you'll also encounter purpose-designed reduced rate springs (in both single strand and multi-strand styles) in such pistols. The LDC is no different.
