anywhere with a Sig p229 DAK in stock and price?

I asked this question a few months ago in fact... You should try to get your local gun shop to order you in one if all else fails (I couldn't find any online), or see if Questar can order you in one.

I ended up going with a 229 Elite Dark b/c I could not get my hands on a DAK, but I'm very happy with the da/sa.

Good luck!
 
I ordered a 229 DAK in .40 from Questar last year. The price was reasonable and it was here very quickly. If I remember correctly it arrived only a couple of weeks after I ordered it.
Unfortunately DAK equiped Sig's are somewhat rare here. Your other option is to buy the parts and convert a DA/SA 229 yourself. I have done several conversions; as I am a big DAK fan, and if you are familiar with Sig's it's not that hard.

Double Action Kellerman. Pro-Line might have one in stock. I was down there the other day, and they have a 229 with the right hammer, but I didn't really have a look at it, just noticed in passing.

Pro line in Calgary? I just called them and they haven't had any sig 229's for a long time he said.

What is the purpose of having a heavier intermediate trigger pull?

Maybe a question for kcx223 to answer, as I've never actually fired a DAK with live ammo! Not sure if most users actually use the intermediate reset or not... As I understand the whole DAK idea, though, the point was a trigger system for LE that was DAO, but lighter than typical DAOs, with a shorter reset, all the while retaining restrike ability.

So I guess it's pick your poison - shorter and heavier or longer and lighter.

One thing I've noticed, though - those who like them, like them a lot.
 
Most people don't use the intermeadiate reset so it's a bit of a non-issue. It's there if you want to use it and I guess under a stressfull situation it would prevent you from short stroking the trigger. As a matter of fact the instructors at the Sig Academy don't recomend it's use but rather that you use the full reset.
The best feature of the DAK is that it is very smooth with virtually no take-up as the weight is constant throughout the trigger pull. The trigger breaks cleanly and it's hard to "stack" the trigger without really concentrating on it. This make trigger control very smooth and predictable. The DAK system gets even better with use as it smooths out even more with a bit of wear.
