WOW! Reduced Trigger Pull for Cheap!

The DA trigger pull on Sig pistols can be rather heavy. I used the 18 lb mainspring in this kit and it reduced my trigger pull substantially. I highly recommend this kit, it makes a HUGE difference.

Exactly as described

I've got a few Sigs and put the 18# in my P226 40 that has a 9mm exchange kit and the 19# in my P220R Carry, which was already modified with a dual adjustable flat trigger and a SRT kit. I'm pleased with the results.

Improves double action trigger pull

This item installs easily into the newer style mainspring housing. The difference between a well worn stock P226 mainspring and the 17lb reduced power spring is well worth the cost of this set. You may need to tune to a heavier included spring or add an extra power firing pin spring to make sure you dont get light primer strikes. I havent experienced anything like that, but passing on a topic of conversation that comes up when changing springs.

Works great

These reduced power mainsprings do as described. I'm currently using the 18lb spring as I had light primer strikes on CCI primers with the 17lb one. Next time I disassemble my slide, I'll replaced the factory firing pin spring with a reduced power one and retry the 17lb spring. DA is down to approx 9lbs and SA is a crisp 3.5lbs.

WOLFF SIG MAINSPRING KIT

This kit provides you with the proper spring for your special needs and all will reduce the trigger pull in DA and SA. A lot of parts polishing will make it smooth and the spring does the rest. I have always been able to get 100% ignition with the 17lbs spring but recommend a little heavier for a duty or self defense gun.

Works as advertised

I have been working on Sig pistols for over 10 years and have used these reduced power springs to improve trigger pulls for some time now and never had a single problem. They work as intended/adverised.

Wolff Sig Mainspring

Been using these to custom tune triggers on 226 9mm's for several years. As a stand alone part and replacement, it is ok but far from perfect. It does make for a slightly smoother pull, but is best used in conjunction with some polishing work, and Wolff Firing Pin Springs in order to custom tune the firing pin inertia and give you a reliable impact on the primer. If you don't, you may find some FTF/Light Strikes on hard primers found in a lot of Military/Surplus ammunition. Easy to use for the garage gunsmith to give a slightly better pull, best used by a legitimate gunsmith for a truly significant improvement.
