Awesome! You wont be disappointed. If you end up hating DAK, the parts to convert are still readily available, and its an easy project. I think the more you shoot it the more you will appreciate it.

Congrats, and let me know on that short reach trigger.

I went back and forth. I just ordered the DAK. It was less than $398 delivered and a $15 transfer. It's just silly not to. That's what I need you guys to say if my wife asks.

Glad you like it! Looks to be in good shape, too. I have a well used set of Hogue rubber grips you can have if you want them, and a set of E2 grips I would trade for your two-piece grips if you were interested.


Let me know.

That protrusion at the top of the left grip plate is something I believe I have never seen before. I’m curious if the plate could be used with a decocking lever, i.e., is there a gap under the plate that would allow a lever to be installed, or does that part of the grip plate contact the frame?

The first photo below of the DAK “slim” grip plate shows what I’m referring to. The shape of the grip plate as is clear in the second photo makes it appear as if it’s designed for use with a decocker, but there is no room under the plate to permit the decocker to be installed.








This shows the “slim” DAK grip plates in comparison with the normal plates that are compatible with the DA/SA decocker. The latter has a protrusion at the top left to permit using the decocker, but it doesn’t seem to be the same size and shape as the one on your gun.

Do it. Do it now. I purchased a P229r in .40 with a DAK trigger and it is one of my favorite pistols. Admittedly, I am a little slower with DAK (also have a p239 and P224 in DAK), but the trigger pull is smooth and noticeably lighter than standard DA/SA Sigs. Kind of Kahrish. I think with a little practice, I could (maybe) catch up with my other guns as far as speed goes.


Also, the .40 is a fine round. I was on the 9mm wagon and realized that .40 was not the dog it was being sold as by the FBI. I was relieved to find out that the LE agency I work for will NOT be switching to 9mm polymer guns like the rest of the crowd.... not that there is anything wrong with them. Our armorers, who are very good, tested several ammunition brands and bullet designs and found that our Federal HST 180gr bullets out performed the 9mm versions in testing held at our range with factory reps present. We are upgrading from non railed P226 in .40 to the railed version with SRT kits installed. Officers will have a choice between E2 and standard grips and short reach or standard triggers. I'm personally excited about the small change.
