DAK or DAO difference

[Raven47326]

I'm going to look at a used Sig P239 DAK after work. My question is is there a way to tell a DAK from a DAO? I've searched and found that you should feel a reset halfway on the DAK but is there more reliable difference? Markings, serial number?
As always thanks ahead of time for your time and help.

I've wondered this exact thing.
Just curious, are you using it as a law enforcement backup?

I will only say that the DAK already has the "quick reset trigger" kit already installed. Otherwise I am not sure what else is different between the two. I will also say I had that kit installed in my vintage P226 and have found it makes it a lot nicer to shoot.

DAO stands for Double Action Only, so each trigger pull will be long and somewhat hard.

and DAK stands for Double Action Kellerman.

Well I ended up buying the gun, so now I'm hoping for weather that is not below 0°F so I can try the trigger out. Just curious, has anyone ever went and looked at a gun and not bought it?

I haven't but there are plenty of people that do.

I have a DAK on one of my P226 's. It has a standard double action pull on the first shot, then after that there are two reset points. Both resets will be double action the first is much shorter and about the same weight or you can release it all the way and have the same pull as the first shot. You can practice by dry firing, keep the trigger pulled and cycle the slide then release the trigger to feel the reset....hope this helps.
