My precious, precious SIG...down for the count.

I was messing around with my CZ75 today when I got bored. So I pulled my carry gun, a P228, off my belt and prepared to expend my carry ammo and replace it with fresh. I got off one DA shot (center of the x-ring, of course ;)), and the trigger went all floppy. Broken trigger return spring. :(

I think I'm going call Sig Arms and have them send me a Parts Kit, with various frequently replaced parts, and just replace everything.

I transitioned to the CZ for the rest of the day until I could get home to my Kimber Compact, which will become my primary (again). Not a very happy day, but any failure at the range beats a failure on the street, and at least I had a back-up gun handy.

Maybe I need a P239, too. Hmmm... :)
 
Sorry to hear about that. These things come as a rough surprise (I've had my carry gun get sick when cycling out the old carry ammo as well).
Well, atleast you had it happen at the range as opposed to a life-threatening situation. It never hurts to focus on that silver lining. :D
 
I have had similar experiences with several quality pistols and revolvers. I immediatly repaired each one and promptly sold it. The idea of toting a weapon that failed is hard to accept. It may never fail again but it will never again be by my side.
 
Just an fyi thing...you can get a SIG to fire even with a broken trigger bar spring. Rotate the pistol upside down (to let the trigger bar "drop" and engage the hammer). Then take up the free slack in the trigger. The trigger bar is now contacting the hammer, the pistol can be rotated back to a normal firing position and the pistol can be fired. Repeat as necessary;).
 
Chris Orndorff - why bother fixing the pistol, then? Just install a set of HomeBoy Nite Sites on the bottom of the magazine.. ;)
