DAK Triggers.
I picked up a used SiG 220 at a pawn shop. I think it's an LE trade. with the DAK trigger - Double Action Kellerman. For those that don't know, it's a double action only trigger system with two different reset points with two different trigger weights.
While I can feel the difference between the two reset points, it's not enough that I can feel/see the difference when actually shooting the weapon. Maybe it's because I haven't had training with this system or what, but I really don't see the point.
It does have a nice smooth, but LONG trigger pull and is a soft shooter.
I don't have that much in it, $300 - it had been sitting at the shop for months, I was told - probably because of the DAK - the owner was willing to make a deal. I'm debating if I'm going to convert it to TDA or DAO or leave it alone.
Do you all have any opinions, yay or nay, on DAKs?

Dunno about the trigger, but the price is right.

I had a P229 DAK a few years ago but got rid of it. I found the system unnecessarily complicated. If you really like your gun otherwise, I believe you can swap the DAK trigger for a regular DA/SA setup.

My son's duty gun is a P226 DAK. While he can shoot it very well he prefers the trigger on my conventional P220 and of Glocks.
Nevertheless, I have tried the DAK and find it absolutely serviceable and for the price that you paid, I would just practice to get used to it.

I converted my 226 to DA/SA after I retired, also got a conversion 9mm barrel, but that's another story. If you stick with DAK it is much like shooting a DA revolver. The trigger pull is consistent and not heavy since it is partially cocked. Well worth what you paid. Lots of discussion on the Sig Forum, use the search function.

I have carried the P229DAK .It definitely takes getting used to.
My other 40 is a Ruger P94DAO. The DAO has same trigger pull each time. The DAK has a heavy first pull, then lighter trigger pulls after. For the money invested you could keep it or sell and feel zero guilt?

On your first point, I concur with you.
On the latter, I'd leave it alone. I've fondled several Sigs with regular DAO triggers. It's little better than the first DA pull on the traditional set-up. Extra long, heavy, and sometimes not smooth. As you've noted, either DA mode is shorter, lighter, and smoother...closer to a DA revolver.

I'd keep it for a bit and see if you acclimate to it. That said, the DAK guns are not nearly as popular, so having a different trigger installed will likely pay for itself with the commensurate increase in the resale value.

I bought a Sig P226 .40 caliber and it has the DAK trigger. When I bought it I didn't know what DAK meant and when I did find out what DAK meant I thought I am not going to like this. I read up and found the trigger action can be changed over to DA/SA. I thought that's possibly what I would do with it.
After shooting the gun I decided I will not replace the trigger action. The action is smooth and not a heavy pull like I expected it would be. I actually like it better than the DA action has on my Sig P226 9mm. da/sa.

I quite like the DAK trigger. After I got a SIG with that trigger I added two more. It is a long pull, but very smooth and not heavy.
On the other hand, I started with revolvers and like DAO autos in most forms.
No matter what I think, you may not like it and if so you should convert it or sell the gun and buy the version you like.
