SIG 228 goes “click,” not “bang.”
I have a late 90’s P228 that I recently tinkered with to try and improve the ergonomics a little for my hand. I put in a factory short trigger (not the short reset), E2 grips and an Amory Craft sear spring along with a 19# hammer spring which is marketed as giving an improved pull “with 100% ignition reliability.”
As the post title suggests, I took it out yesterday and got clicks instead of bangs. Everything seems to function properly, hammer falls to the decock position when using the lever and rebounds when pulling the trigger etc. In my frustration, I neglected to inspect the couple rounds I attempted to fire to see if the had any indents on the primers, shame on me. When I brought it home and disassembled, I realized that I neglected to swap the trigger bar spring to the coiled one for the E2 grips from the bow shaped one that was on the gun, but even so, the trigger was functioning and the hammer was falling normally. So, for you SIG experts out there, is this just a case of not enough spring weight? Did the trigger bar spring have something to do with it? Can the new sear spring affect ignition? Is there something else I should look at? I’ve already swapped the oem hammer spring back in, and honestly the pull feels pretty much the same, but can’t get back to the range immediately to test it. What say you Sig gurus?
