SIG trigger question

[HANKTRANSAM]

I'm looking at purchasing a refurbished SIG Pro 2340 .40 S&W.

The only thing I think is going to be a problem is it is DAO. I own a Ruger SR9 it is souble action only but my understanding is it's different with a striker fire pistol than a hammer style action? I am mail ordering the gun so I can't test it either. I also don't want to spen $200 on a DA/SA conversion kit. The crazy thing is I saw alot of people on the internet that were converting from DA/SA to DAO? I can't figure out why someone would want to do that?

Anybody have any opinions/experience with this?

I assume you mean DAO and not DAK (Double action Kellerman, a fine system BTW) People convert from DA/SA to DAO for consistency (people tend to hit low with the first SA shot). With DAO the trigger pull is always the same. There is no heavy long DA shot followed by light/short SA. Once you train your muscles to follow the same routine for every shot, you get very proficient. No one ever accused Jerry Miceluk of being slow
