After 34 years of packing SIG Sauer handguns, Dallas PD has decided to move the entire department to Glock Gen 5s (I am assuming 17, 19, 26, 34, and 45). In waves of an unknown quantity, DPD is selling their 9mm SIG P226R-DAKs off to GT Distributors who is then disbursing them to all their stores. The price, at least at the two Texas locations, is $380+tax for the gun, 2 15round MecGar mags, and factory blue box. I am born and raised in Dallas, so when these popped up in store and on GT's Gunbroker page, I had to have one. I remember the "Roaring 80s" in Dallas when DPD switched from issuing .38spec revolvers to SIG Sauer P226s. It was 1988, and I was 8, when I saw my first Dallas cop with a black pistol that didnt have a cylinder called a "6 hour".
I dont care for the DAK trigger. I like the idea, but not the execution. The initial trigger pull is fine, and it is almost LEM-like. It's the follow up trigger pulls that throw me off, and my hate thusly begins. A short heavy trigger pull, or I can let the trigger all the way out and get a lighter pull. I'd like it better if it just had one reset, either one, but just one. I'm sure if I put some dedication into the trigger it would be fine, but I wont do that. What I will do is shoot a TDA, and I can convert this to TDA. I am now off to find parts. I am going to look to GGI for some of the parts, SIG Sauer factory for others.
