DA = Double Action (hammer down, really long trigger pull)
SA = Single Action (hammer cocked back, really short trigger pull)

Sorry I didn't explain those at first.

However the last portion of the movement required much more pressure, at which point it would fire. It required that for every shot.

The P229 is a DA/SA gun. It can be fired with the hammer down and a round in the chamber with a long pull of the trigger. After the first round, it becomes a SA firearm, the hammer is cocked when the fired round is ejected. The 1911 has to be cocked before it will fire from the hammer down, usually when you rack the slide to chamber a round.

I carried a Sig pretty much every day for almost twenty years in my law enforcement life. Love the gun but I was way more accurate with S&W 686 wheel gun (revolver). The deal with Sig is you got get use to the little lag in the trigger pull before it engages. If you rush the pull instead of squeezing all the way through you it will cause you to throw or pull your rounds depending on your grip on the gun. You can not anticipate the trigger fall!

My SIG goes almost everywhere with me. It took me awhile to get used to shooting it because of the trigger (used to the 1911...) I like the number of rounds in the mag (14) and I also carry an extra mag. Call me overly paranoid, but I keep a rifle in the car too.

Well technically anyone wanting DVDA is probably a bit of a masochist.

It appears nobody wants to search the site for a drag setup these days. We are supposed to hand all the info over to them. I don't have time to search for that stuff. WTH....

We are having crazy stupid weather here in AZ. The National Weather Service has issued a tornado warning for the north Scottsdale, Cave Creek and Carefree area. Al Gore strikes again!
