Thank you, Sigfreund! Lots of great info in this thread and I appreciate all of it! I have a DAK parts kit on the way.

I once owned a P239 DA/SA and and sent it to SIG for a DAK conversion and liked it very much. I'm a fan of one kind of trigger pull and have gradually eliminated all DA/SA guns from my collection.

Anyone have a good link for a video on how to do the conversion?

Disassembly of the DA/SA P226/229:

DAK reassembly:

I've done it a few times, it isn't worth sending to Sig to do..

Disassemble the DA/SA model as described in various videos, then assemble with the DAK parts.

There is of course no need for the decocker assembly. I have, however, found that if the sear assembly and hammer are installed first as is usually shown in videos about DA/SA models, it can be very tricky to install the DAK trigger and trigger bar. I therefore adopted the practice of putting the trigger and trigger bar in before the sear and hammer assemblies. That will then require a bit of juggling to keep everything in place during the process, but doable.

Thank you, Gents! Very helpful info and videos.

I just realized the DAK parts set I bought doesn’t have a sear. I’m going to put a WTB in classifieds for one. I tried to find one but no luck. If anyone knows a place I can get one please let me know.

^^^ The same set from fleabay that you showed me? Seller forgot to include it? Because the pic clearly showed the sear.

What sear do you have in your DA/SA model now?
If it looks like this, you do not need a different one:



Prior to the introduction of the DAK mechanism, that cut in the one side of the sear wasn’t there, but then all sears with the cut, DA/SA or DAK, were the same.

Perhaps later SIG went back to the original design for some reason, but it’s easy to check.

Q, I got a slightly different kit that doesn’t have the sear.

Sigfreud, the one in the P228 now is the SRT sear.

I missed the SRT sear.
It appears, though, that SIG still offers the standard “P” sear:

This is the one I went with, unfortunately.

I checked my parts and I have two sears but they are not DAK.

It seems that I don't need a specific DAK sear; just a newer one with the small notch cut out on the top left like the one in sigfreud's picture on page 1.

Benner shoot me an E-mail. I'll look in my parts bag tonight and see if I have one that will work for you. If I do it's yours. I have a bunch of take-offs because I've installed SRT kits in all my guns.

Email sent. Thank you!

Thank you 92fstech! He found one and is generously giving it to me and sending it! You are one heckuva lifesaver, Brother!!

If you email me what you need, I'll also look through my stuff to see if I have any DAK parts left.

I have a P226 DAO and it's been one of my favorite to practice on; the DAK is a really nice option, would absolutely encourage the swap.

If USPS is to be believed, it should be there tomorrow. Hope it gets you up and running with a DAK!
