Can someone explain this to me?

With my reading on the Sig P226, it seems people feel that the trigger on the is a little to much lbs. ft. needed to activate it on the first pull since it's SA on subsequent shots.

So they recommend a trigger job to lighten it up. What's the process of this, do you replace the trigger, or do you take it to a smith to work it down to where you want it? Both?

I'm just a little confused, thx.

It depends on the gun, but generally a trigger "job" is simply polishing the surfaces that interface each other.

Trigger "kits" are usually drop-in kits that are different.

Then again, both of these terms are subjective.

Have you ever replaced a hammer spring on a P226 to make the pull lighter?

Or I guess any similar sized handgun.

Yes. Both my Beretta 90 two and 1911 have had a hammer spring swapped.

If the gun were mainly for defensive purposes I would probably leave it alone though. Those two of mine are range toys more than anything.

Saw a cool segment last week on AR triggers. The guy had some drop ins, but went through the process of using individual replacement parts. Used some kind of screwdriver doohickie to keep stuff in place. The after effect was no rearward movement of the hammer when the trigger was pulled. I'm sure I said some of this wrong as I know nothing about those things.

Here's a video I watched on trigger jobs

I don't know anything about doing one myself, but the way he explains it made sense.
