I hate the trigger on my P938... to the point that I'm considering selling it for a Glock 43. I think the gun is beautiful and I love the size. I just hate shooting it. Trigger is really long/heavy compared to my SA/DA P239 and I just can't get a feel for it. I thought maybe it would break in, but that doesn't seem to be happening. I probably have 300ish rounds through it.
Is there any hope, or is the trigger just destined to be crappy?
Purchased the pistol new in October of 2013. Not sure how to find a build date. I'll try a detail strip & lube, but I sincerely doubt that is going to make a dramatic difference. Will seriously consider the suggested trigger and trigger work. Would like to see it in the 4lb range. I feel like it's in the 8-10lb range now.
My P938 has never been back for work/repair since I bought it, so it's likely the older style MSH. When I get time, I'll take it apart and look for wear. In either case, it seems like it might be worth contacting Sig to see about sending it in for them to check out.
My 300 round count is a conservative estimate. I don't actually keep track of rounds fired. I'm thinking I've actually fired it at the range about 8 times. I know I burnt through three boxes of ammo the first week, but subsequently I've been shooting it occasionally with my carry ammo (1-2 mags for testing or expending older ammo) and shooting a mag or two while out with my other guns.
I love the trigger on my P938. Beats the G43 trigger any day of the week! You should borrow or rent one, my guess is you will change your tune. Something about that G43 just really makes it bite into my finger. And while the 938 trigger is undoubtedly heavier the smoothness makes it feel lighter. If you haven't put rounds through one I would try it out first. If you just want another pistol and are ready to see what else is out there buy it and enjoy!
I stopped by my local shop today. They had an identical P938 Equinox (not sure the age, obviously) that felt considerably different than my own in terms of trigger pull. That said, I also felt the pull on a G43 while I was there and I have to disagree about liking the P938 better. I find the G43 trigger to be worlds better than my P938 trigger and preferable to even their P938 which feels much better than mine.
You can visually inspect the condition of the old style MSH without taking anything apart except for removing the magazine. Look at the aft surface of the mag well, about an inch or inch and a quarter up, you will see a 1/8" diameter round hole in the spring, the old style MSH has a 1/8" round "nub" that engages that spring hole - the nub should still be round and filling that hole, rather than worn at the bottom and showing a gap at the top. Good lighting helps.
Yep, confirmed against a pic in the thread linked earlier. I'm assuming based on the gap at the top that it's showing some of the expected/typical wear? Plan to call Sig tomorrow to see if I can send it in.
Have an RMA. Need to swing by my storage unit to get the factory box to ship it in. Will see what it feels like when it comes back. Playing with it last night, I decided that the trigger pull feels inconsistent. Sometimes if feels heavier, sometimes not. Sometimes crisp, sometimes not. Kind of strange, because when I look inside while actuating it, I don't see the MSH moving.
Got the pistol back from Sig today. Gunsmith comments:
-REPLACED HAMMER & SEAR
-REPLACED/UPDATED PARTS:
-MAINSPRING HOUSING
-SEAR SPRING
-SEAR PIN
-MAG CATCH SPRING
Dry firing it a bit in the Fedex parking lot, it feels better. Been a while since I shot it though. Will take it to the range and put some rounds through it, but I'm thinking it'll be a welcome improvement. May still elect for an aftermarket trigger job, but would like to keep it stock if possible.
