SIG P229 DAK 9mm

[stephen87]

Anyone know where I can rent a 9mm SIG P229 DAK in Indianapolis area? I love SIGs, but hate the DA/SA trigger. I enjoy a consistent trigger pull, and the DAK may be the ticket for me. So, anyone know somewhere or anyone have one they might let me fondle? If not, I'll just have to get another Glock or 1911 instead.

The DAK is not a consistent trigger pull. It has two reset points. If you stop at the short reset point (which isn't that short) it stiffens the trigger. The assumption is it will slow down your cyclical rate under stress. If you let the trigger all the way back out to the second reset, you get the same trigger pull, presumably for better control while shooting while not under stress.

To me, the DAK makes as much sense as putting a manual safety on a Glock. It's not what the platform was designed for and it is counter productive to the design philosophy and operation.

The P229 in 9mm and DAK is my favorite gun of all. BehindBlueI's description of how the action works is accurate and it's exactly what I like about it. It does take a bit of practice if you're not coming from a DAO background but it is superior (IMO) to any other action currently available once you master the advantages it offers. I'm currently breaking in a H&K P30sk 9mm V1 (light LEM) and find SIG's DAK much more to my liking.

There are some Sig models also in SAO, if you like such a thing.
