My New SIG P229R

[Suvorov]

Could the DAO .357 SIG 229s be converted to TDA with an srt?

I winced when I typed that.

Yes. Easy to do as long as you don't have a rare magazine safety. Top Gun Supply lists the parts you will need to do the conversion. You'll need a new hammer, decock lever, decocker bearing, and strut pin to do the DAO-TDA conversion. After that the SRT kit will drop in. Both TopGun and Brownells have those parts in stock but Brownells didn't have the SRT last time I checked. If you are not really comfortable detail stripping your frame, take a look at the CWWeapons Armors Course DVD - they helped me out immensely.

I've only seen it in that one pistol but that's the only really old Sig I've installing the SRT parts into. I've seen reports of it at Sigforum. In all fairness, IIRC, that was a 1992 vintage P226. It was the 18th P226 bought by my agency. I had borrowed it from the armorery to have a 9mm as I was taking class that provided free ammo as long as you shot 9mm.

Copy. Thanks for pointing it out.

I finally get to pick it up today! Then it's going straight out to the shop for work and it will be another week before I actually handle it but I'm crazy excited. I did a little dry fire with my original NSW project P226 the other night just for the fun of it.

Congrats! What is your time frame for putting some lead through it? Glad you're on the mends.

I won't be doing any live fire for at least another couple of months

I noticed that too, glad to see the push is still going strong.

That's great. I'm really looking forward to the insightful posts to come on TDA pistols now that you'll be shooting one again.

Thanks JV. Too lazy to search back on my phone :-P

Todd, any experience with the E2 grips? They are a but too radical for some, but I love them, my P228R and P226s all sport them, really makes the grip feel small and you might like the angle since you have recently spent a lot of time with the 1911
