The above shows the two tabs to look for to determine a SRT. The SRT tab is thick and the standard Safety lever tab is thin. Round pin is the Hammer pivot pin.
There is no Short Reset Trigger in OP.

This clearly answers a frequently asked question.

Would like to nominate for "sticky status".

Also along with the short reset. Once the trigger resets and you start to pull back on the trigger there should be no take up on the trigger. If it has a small amount of take up then it’s not an SRT if it has none than it is an SRT. And yes you have to rack the slide to RESET the trigger. That’s the whole point.

I wish this was 100% true. Of the 5 kits I installed yesterday, 4 had an immediate, crisp reset with NO take up/slack before hitting the wall again; one pistol had a bit of take up after the reset and audible click.

EDIT: I was annoyed with the 1 p226 not resetting like it should. Turns out it was the interaction between the trigger spring and the grip panel.

Edit again: I sanded the inside of my wood grip panels thinking it was too tight. Problem solved! For a little bit before I inserted a magazine. Then it reared its ugly head again. Crunchy trigger, sloppy reset.

Turns out the previous owner or Sig factory installed the trigger spring incorrectly so it wasn’t sitting in the correct position. I had to mangle the spring out and replace it.

TRULY PROBLEM SOLVED.

SO YES, a properly installed SRT (which I did) will reset as it should; clean, immediate, and crisp with NO TAKE UP, as long as all else is installed correctly too!

So if anyone has issues, make sure to check that interaction too.

My 239, 220ST, and 225 had natural trigger resets very much like an SRT.

The 220ST, I installed an SRT and could tell no difference at all.
I took it out, and put it in my Montage Suisse 220-9mm heel release.
Made a world of difference.

I have shot SAO, since 1983 and my 220-10 SE was SAO, as well as a 220 compact SAO.
I could not imagine an SRT helping them. The trigger needs travel, but is slack so I never notice.
Robert Burke said he could shorten the take up, but I saw no need.
After He did a carry trigger on the 220, it was too easy to double tap, and I would unintentionally double tap or once triple tap range shooting.
