Sig TACOPS Carry

So just for fun, I field stripped my Sig Fastback Emperor Scorpion. It uses the same Series 80 safety as the TACOPS. Obviously, Sig learned a thing or two!

Here’s the plunger level in its channel on the Fastback. It’s completely recessed.



And here’s the lever on the TACOPS…after I filed it done:



You can see how much prouder it sits even after filing. Clearly they made some changes between models!!

I found that this is often caused by the trigger being adjusted too far to the rear for take-up. (this is done with the little tabs on the front of the trigger bow.) You can check by ensuring the back of the trigger bow is forward of the mag channel where the disconnector rides. If you push on the back of the bow (ie, push the trigger forward) and the lever drops, there it is.

I've found that Sig triggers vary in length from the front of the bow to the back enough that some are worth "tuning" and others are best rejected. The solid triggers seem to be more consistent than the ones with the double diamond cuts through them.

I went the same route as OP before I figured it out but I don't like one off solutions. I adjusted the trigger take-up to ensure the lever was not under tension and bought an additional plunger lever $15!) to bring it back to stock after the trigger adjustment.

If this needs pictures, let me know.
