Description
The Enhanced Leverage System (ELS) – with options for a Curved, Straight or Hybrid Trigger – features dual adjustability for over-travel and double action pre-travel. The trigger kit reduces double-action and single-action pull weights. You will experience dramatically improved pull characteristics without changing springs or spring weight.
This system consists of our proprietary trigger options with enhanced geometry features mated to a custom-designed trigger bar. In addition, multiple drop-in options are available to tune your action for your specific requirements.
The ELS is not designed to reduce trigger reset, as different components are involved.
Enhanced Leverage System Fit Guide
You or a qualified armorer can install the Enhanced Leverage System Straight Optimized Trigger as a drop-in kit. The ELS will fit the classic P-series SIG Sauer DA/SA or DAO pistols, including:
- P226
- P229
- P228
In-House Installation for P220 and P227
Do you have a DA/SA or DAO P220 or P227? We can install the ELS as an in-house service. Click here to get started.
This kit will not work with DAK trigger systems. The DAK references above are specific to the window frame cut, not the DAK trigger system.
System Compatibility
The ELS can only be purchased as a complete system and requires the trigger and trigger bar to function. The trigger bar is incompatible with our stand-alone P-Series Dual Adjustable Straight or Curved Triggers.
The trigger may not be fully compatible with California-compliant or similar P-series pistol models equipped with a magazine disconnector, and Grayguns urges caution. We do not recommend deactivating any mechanical safety device.
Finishes
Black Oxide – The standard finish for this product is our high-quality blued finish.
Nickel PTFE – Electroless Nickel PTFE (Teflon®) is an advanced, self-lubricating, composite coating with PTFE particles co-deposited in the electroless nickel layer. Provides a hard, uniform, self-lubricating coating for our premium aftermarket triggers.

Disclaimer
Many parts sold by Grayguns - including but not limited to triggers, trigger kits, internal components and spring kits - are intended for installation by a qualified armorer or gunsmith who is familiar with the firearm.
Although kits fit with no issues in a great majority of pistols, Grayguns cannot guarantee perfect functionality in every instance.
Due to varying tolerances present in all mass-produced firearms, professional fitting by a qualified armorer who is familiar with the pistol's action may be required.
Grayguns offers installation services for all parts kits we offer. If you have any issues or questions about the installation process, STOP IMMEDIATELY and contact the Grayguns Customer Service Team.
Great kit and worth the money. Took a great gun in the P226 and turned it into a finely tuned machine. Great upgrade over the stock trigger. I’d posit that even in double action, the jerky take up on the pull is eliminated. Nicely engineered grey guns, kudos to you all!
I put this in my pistol and I already had a good trigger but this trigger is so buttery smooth. Would totally buy again.
Having owned for 10 years, I upgraded my P229 Elite Dark w/Enhanced Leverage System w/Nickel Hybrid Trigger. What an amazing upgrade to a rock-solid performer. My only gripe is that I did not come across this upgrade sooner.
WARNING, Do not install this on your gun. It will make you hate all of your other guns! I have installed the Enhanced Leverage System with the dual adjustable hybrid trigger, The P series custom strut system with 17# spring, and the short reset trigger kit on my Sig P229 and the differance is absolutly amazing! Gray Guns reccommends for it to be installed by a certified gunsmith but I am pretty handy so I attempted to install myself and had no issues. Now I need to buy it all again for my Sig P220 Scorpion because there is no way I can continue on without it.
An absolutely game changer. This ELS combined with the SRT turned my P226 Legion into a beast. The accompanying How-To install video on YouTube was excellent, easy to follow and well choreographed.
Bruce and his Team hit another home-run.
Awesome trigger system and super easy to install and adjust, paired it with the Grey guns SRT kit and wow what a difference. Trigger and reset and super crisp, Grey gun products are the only ones I will use on a sig.
Thank You Grey Guns
Wanted to add an upgraded strut to my aging P226 MK25. Figured I’d do all internals from Grayguns while I was at it. Installed this ELS system and a SRT kit, and along with the new strut and spring it made the gun smooth as silk. The ELS makes the DA trigger pull noticeably lighter and way smoother. All three systems together completely transform the gun into a even more enjoyable shooter. Highly recommend this ELS!
Even though the factory 226 Legion has a gray guns inspired trigger this ELS system and dual adjustable trigger is much better. Well worth the money.
A must have for your Sig. Absolutley worth the cost, I’m in disbelief how amazing the trigger feels now. It works in tandem with the SRT and Super Strut. I also went with some AC tuning springs. The weight and feel about as close as you can get to 1911 perfection. This is a must have for your HD or EDC gun and of course range toys. Will buy again when I get another Sig.
Hello Grayguns,
I want to thank you for the parts (Enhanced Trigger, Strut, and Hammer) that I installed on my P229 Elite. I can honestly say the trigger DA/SA was reduced significantly. It improved my POA and POI 100%. Thanks Again for your parts and support!

Dropped right in my old P226. Made a world of difference, really nice to have the pre and post travel limit screws. Exellent product!
I installed both the ELS and SRT in my 2011 P229. The stock trigger was not especially heavy but it was long and gritty. After 150 rounds my trigger finger was about done. After installing the ELS (straight trigger) and SRT the trigger is significantly smoother and crisper. On my Lyman trigger gauge the stock trigger was 3 lbs 13 oz SA and 8 lbs 3 oz DA. With the ELS/SRT the trigger is 2 lbs 4 oz SA and 6 lbs 5 oz DA. It’s not just the weight reduction but the feel is so much cleaner.. ELS installation took me about 30 minutes and was pretty much trouble free. I am thoroughly impressed with the Grayguns ELS/SRT combo in my P229.
