Sig P238 trigger

I there an easy way to lighten the Sig P238 trigger?

I have put about 500 rounds through it trying to get used it and I still can't shoot it well enough that I am comfortable carrying it.

Personally, any trigger of a carry gun will be worked on ONLY by a qualified smith. I don't mind messin' with one of my range guns, but I prefer a pro do the one that I bet my life on. Personally, while I find the P238 to have a hard trigger, it's not so bad that it gives me a problem. You might want to revisit how you place your trigger finger....

Agreed with above.

Grip and finger placement are critical.

I loaned mine to a 24 year old girl last weekend in my CHL class when her off brand gun would not function. She scored a 240 and had never shot the 238 before. She had good grip and finger placement.

I don't know if you want to spend this much, but Sig has a gunsmith at the factory that does awesome work. Check on their website. They offer a number of packages. I sent a Sig there and it came back perfect, the way it should have come from the factory. Basically they accurized it and everyone who has shot it agrees that it is a masterpiece.

Your right, I probably will take it to a gunsmith.

While it could just be my preference for a lighter trigger, I find the P238 hard to pull, even during dry fire exercises. Maybe it is my limited hand strength or maybe there is something out of spec with my gun.

I have studied with multiple instructors and I feel pretty confident with my grip and finger placement on a normal sized gun. Do you do something significantly different with a smaller gun like this one?

I am confident that I could score a perfect score with it on that test. But I would prefer to be more accurate than that.

Can you tell me what you had done? It looks like all their trigger work is not appropriate for the P238.
