Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Sig 938 Trigger Pull

I've got a 938 Sig I bought a year or so ago and just got around to carrying it lately. Love the gun, well made and pretty accurate for a small 9mm pistol. The only gripe against the pistol is the trigger pull. It has gotten a little better as I have shot it , but it has settled in around a 11# pull, not a really good single action pull. I can live it as it is a carry gun and not a target gun, the harder pull probably not a hindrance in a situation where I might use it. I was wondering what anyone else's 938 trigger pull may feel like. I measured mine tonight for the first time and kind of wish I hadn't now, if you know what I mean. The trigger breaks clean without a lot of take-up or over travel, just hard pull and a bear to cock with the short hammer also.

My wife has one for a carry gun, and while I've never put it to scale, I don't think that it's that much. There are kits available to help. You might go to the Sig Talk website and do some research. Until the overhaul, here is something that may help. I spent several television hours working on the trigger, by cocking the pistol(unloaded of course),pressing down hard against the hammer(use of glove is highly recommended), then pull the trigger. It will help "lap-in" the sear faster(and cheaper) than firing it. It won't make it a match trigger but may lighten and smooth a bit! memtb

I've done that with a few revolvers in the past. Seems to help a little.

memtb, I'll give that a try. Thanks

The trigger bar arrangement makes it very difficult to get a truly first rate trigger, but a gunsmith ought to be able to at least cut that weight in half. There will always be some creep and grit during take-up, it's just the design. But after your take-up, there's no reason you can't have a crisp 4.4-5 lb trigger break. Just need a gunsmith who's willing to do it. PM me if you can't find anyone local you can trust.

Just visited Sig Talk. A whole lot of information there specific to 938s. Thanks for the heads up.

Look on utube for videos on the Sig 938. Keep in mind this is not a target pistol. To lighten the trigger pull you have to change the hammer Spring. If you go to light you will have reliability problems. I've changed mine but it still over ranges my trigger gauge. Trigger pull is better but a long way from light. Hasbeen
