leemoe83 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 The P226 splits slow for me. It takes a longer time for the gun to recover between shots than other guns. Any spring changes that will improve this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George16 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 What recoil spring weight are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemoe83 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Factory, orange braided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKnoch Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I used to shoot a 226 enhanced elite in production and I don't see any reason the gun would be slowing you down. What kind of splits are you shooting vs what do you expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemoe83 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 .25 at 7 yards. Can split it faster but hits get sloppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKnoch Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 .25 at 7 yards. Can split it faster but hits get sloppy.That's a grip or shot calling issue sounds like, as opposed to a mechanical issue with the gun. I personally can shoot .14 splits with my Stock 2. I'd imagine that's possible and better with a 226 or stock 2 in capable hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemoe83 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 I can do consistent high teens and get fist sized groups with my Stocks 2 and Glocks. I can shoot some .40 and .45 faster than the P226 up close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 drills yesterday usual splits for me. .16-18 with a 226 elite same same. I can go faster but A's go away. Only prescription is more practice. When I do splits go down alphas stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 You will just have to buy some recoil springs and try different spring rates and see if it helps. People do this all the time with 2011s, 1911s, glocks, etc., IDK why a Sig 226 would be any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I'm running a 13lb recoil spring in mine if that helps. I think I have a Gray guns guide rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemoe83 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Okay, thanks, are the Wolff variable springs the the springs to try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 That's what I use Or the conventional ones are fine if you want have it close harder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate89 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I've been shooting a 226 as a lim minor gun, and just changed over to carry optics with the same gun. I don't know of anything mechanically on the gun that should be hurting split times. After the first DA shot, the reset on a 226 is short and the trigger is actually very good. Adding the SRT kit if you don't have it is nice, but not necessary. If you can get faster splits without the accuracy, I agree with the post above that the problem is not anything mechanical with the gun. If you are unfamiliar with the sig (ie. if you have been shooting a stock 2 or a glock for a long time), it might be more of a timing issue, and more trigger time with the sig will most likely solve that problem.
