Opinions on DA/SA vs. DAO and Swapping Guns

[admin]

I’m sure plenty of people decided not to open this thread because of the title, but for people who have been in this situation before, I’m sure you can relate and hopefully can offer some advice.

I have a Sig P229 DA/SA. I learned to shoot on an old Smith Revolver and I’d like to be able to develop my skills as a pistol shooter on a similar trigger (heavy and consistent trigger). I love shooting revolvers, and should have considered the option of DAO autos when looking for a first gun for myself. While I love the trigger on my Sig, I think I’d rather have a gun that only fires in double action, at least as a first gun, and one that I’m going to shoot a lot.

So now this begs the question; do I send my gun to Sig to have it converted? Has anyone done this? Any idea on cost? Sell my gun and get a gun that shoots DAO? I’d love a Sig (mine or maybe something new), but I’m also open to other suggestions and stories.

I’m going to post this over at Sig Talk as well to get a variety of opinions. I imagine some of you fine Sig shooters are on there as well. (For the record, I don’t think I’m interested in Sig’s DAK. I want “squeeze the trigger -> bang -> repeat” with the same consistency. Don’t think I’m interested in striker fired Glocks and the like).

Thanks!
