Being a trapper I have several fingers with boo boos, so trigger distance on a handgun can be a big deal.
Measuring from the deapest part of the curve of the dove tail to the front of the trigger is the measurment I am looking for.
I have a Glock 43X and the trigger distance is 2.64
I have a Glock 45 9mm with a trigger distance of 2.76
The 2.76 is a touch to long for my index finger. The 2.64 is great, ain't big difference.

I woud like to get a Sig Sauer P226 Legion in 9mm with the Single action trigger. I can't find the trigger distance measurement anywhere.
Is there anyone on here that might have a P226 they could measure or tell me where I could find that measurement.
Thanks
VS

I don't have the 226 , but you are going to want to go to a shop or better yet a rental range and try it

you mentioned a 43X works well for you , 2.64 inches of reach , and the 45 does not 2.76 inches of reach , you are looking at one measurement and forgetting about the other that also changes things width

the 43X is a single stack , narrower gun than the 45 which is a double , the girth of the grip makes as much or more difference as the reach to the trigger.

in NC there should be some rental ranges around , try it out and see how you like it.
you may not find the exact model for rent , but the single action trigger pull on the SA/DA model should be really close

the 226 can do different grips but it is still a somewhat chunky grip being a double stack gun.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Thanks, yea the G45 grip is wider, double stack. The P226 is double stack, so I was hoping the trigger difference would be a little shorter. I have a single stack 9mm Springfield EMP. Great gun for everything except bullets. it holds 9 round. The grip on that gun is perfit.

I re-read the question, in the cocked or single stage the trigger length of pull is 2.54, on my 226.

Sig Sauer P365-AXG Legion is supposed to be where it is at. No clue about the distance.
