Last Thursday I purchased a used 1998 P228, the proper kind, stamped slide goodness! So I can't leave anything alone so I ordered a SRT trigger and Grey Guns master spring set. The SRT arrived Monday and I took the gun apart and installed the parts. In the process I destroyed two springs. I learned two things. 1. don't force anything 2. Take pictures of what it looks like together! I destroyed the hammer reset spring by letting the hammer go too far forward with the sear assembly out then forcing it back and bending the hammer spring leg downward. I also because of the lack of pictures placed the curved leg of the trigger bar spring into the hole in the trigger bar and not in the notch underneath it! Whatever you do, don't do that! Haha it was impossible to get out without deforming it. So it now all sits in a ziplock bag in my safe. Parts should arrive tomorrow and Thursday. Sometimes you have to learn the hard way. I am what I would call mechanically inclined. I do engineering and was a machinist before that. This was a frustrating lesson for me, but hey! Now I know my way around a P-series Sig!
Here's a pic I took before I exploded it into a ziplock bag. Haha
