Frequently Asked Questions

How can I add a red dot sight to a California-compliant Sig Sauer P229 or P226?

To add a red dot sight, you'll need to replace the factory slide with a Sig Pro Cut slide, which comes pre-machined with an RMR optic cut. This allows for direct mounting of compatible red dot sights.

What are the typical trigger pull weights for a stock Sig Sauer P229/P226?

Stock Sig Sauer P229 and P226 pistols typically have a double-action trigger pull of around 10 pounds and a single-action pull of approximately 6 pounds. Modifications can significantly reduce these weights.

How do I disable the California safety disconnect on my Sig Sauer pistol?

Disabling the California safety disconnect involves removing a specific block, pin, and spring located on the front locking block of the firearm's frame. This modification allows the trigger to be pulled without a magazine inserted.
