beautiful!I found a used P229 .40SW for $459.99 and it's on the way.
I ALSO have an OEM Sig barrel in .357 Sig coming too.
Have never had a DAK trigger, but am looking forward to trying it.

I'm looking forward to trying it.Congrats on the new P229. I’ve never shot a DAK but want to give one a go someday
the weirdest thing to me was getting used to the hammer being cocked whenever the slide has been racked and not being able to decock it.Congrats on the new P229. I’ve never shot a DAK but want to give one a go someday
Question for the Sig guys here… I recently picked up a P320 M17 and I’ve somewhat fallen for the platform for carry. It just feels right to me. That said, I don’t feel like spending M18 prices for the shorter slide. I was looking at the P320 slides on the Sig website for the basic 3.9” slide, barrel, and recoil spring the price is quickly approaching that of a whole P320 Compact. Do you guys think it makes sense to buy the slide assembly or should I just get a whole new pistol?
Just recently bought a P226 Elite and also an optic slide with Romeo sight. The Sig barrel turned in some pretty good accuracy at 25 yards in the attachment. Tried one target at 50 yards later and really not too bad either.Anyone have a P226 with a Bar-Sto barrel? Any good?
Wow I didn't know that.the weirdest thing to me was getting used to the hammer being cocked whenever the slide has been racked and not being able to decock it.

Since we're here...Wow I didn't know that.
So I chamber a round, and then I have to go around with the hammer cocked, and not even a safety?
That seems like a dumb design.
i'm not a dak expert but i believe the first pull is a very heavy sa. like 12 lbs ..don't quote me on that though.Wow I didn't know that.

one of my p229s is a dak and the hammer is always cocked. i don't ever remember reading anything about hammer position during my research.Since we're here...
I might be the only dumb one, but I've never had the opportunity to understand the DAK so did some looking around; thought I post the links I found useful...

The TLDR, the hammer should definitely not be cocked on a DAK, it is double action. As one person stated, really, really smooth double action with a lot of trigger control. The K part (Kellerman) is an intermediate reset if you accidentally short stroke your trigger, or if you are told to train wrong and partially reset to the 8 lb part instead of the 6 lb part. Understanding it a little better, but not quite following the 'why?' yet.
@grillak proceed with caution with that cocked hammer.
ETA I just reread your post and now realize you are not a new owner. Maybe you can school me on the DAK system a bit?
just read another post on sigtalk where they say the same thing.sig-dak-explained.85233

My understanding of the DAK trigger is, the first pull, which is the long pull, is 6.5 lbs.i'm not a dak expert but i believe the first pull is a very heavy sa. like 12 lbs ..don't quote me on that though.
that was the reasoning behind no safety.
i always carry with a round chambered, the dak just made me a lot more disciplined.
*edit* just read through the links. just from me shooting the dak, i think the initial pull is higher than 8#s. at least it feels that way to me.
i read somewhere they were issued to il state troopers for one.My understanding of the DAK trigger is, the first pull, which is the long pull, is 6.5 lbs.
The partial reset pull is 8 lbs.
I guess I'll see when I get it.
WHAT I'm really curious about is if I can see what "agency" used it.
Me too.it gave me a headache trying to understand it. that's why i just shoot it.
