Attempts to use a lighter hammer spring may be met with misfires, so if you have an original Seecamp conversion, leave the original as it is if you intend to fire the handgun in double action.
The Seecamp trigger cocks and drops the hammer, but the original trigger is retained for single-action fire.
After the first shot is fired, the slide recoils and cocks the hammer; when pressed again, the Seecamp trigger pushes against the single-action trigger, firing the pistol. The grip safety does not prevent the Seecamp action from firing in the double-action mode but still locks the single-action trigger. The hammer must be safely lowered manually to carry the handgun with the hammer down and ready for a double-action first shot.
My Seecamp gun is from Omega Defensive Industries, which licensed the Seecamp conversion and was one of the first companies to produce stainless steel s. Its Viking Combat was a Commander-length pistol with a 4. It was manufactured with the Seecamp relief cut in the frame, and since the trigger guard shows no signs of being cut and rewelded, it was apparently built that way as well. It once had a broken trigger that had been repaired by welding, but I replaced the welded trigger with one from Gun Parts Corporation.
The frame covering the Seecamp relief cut is decently fitted. I was most interested to see how the double-action trigger pull worked, and I got a pleasant surprise. With a conventional double action, the trigger finger comes from above and sweeps to the rear, but the Seecamp conversion demands a trigger press straight to the rear — the trigger finger moving forward and then back rather than sweeping down and back.
Leverage is good, and the wide trigger really helps. I fired two full magazines, lowering the hammer for double-action fire each time. Coupled with a grip frame that fits the hand well and the typical low bore axis, I was able to center my hits time after time firing double action, even at a long 10 yards. I also found I could draw quickly and have a high probability of getting a first-round hit.
In addition to that work, I did a number of drills in which I fired the first shot double action and then fired a follow-up shot or two single action. Results were excellent. I sometimes carry a SIG P The fits my hand better, but the SIG is more accurate in single-action fire. However, the Seecamp conversion works better than I would have guessed.
It was certainly a viable answer to the double-action or single-action first-shot question. It is an interesting piece of history we will not see again. That's not to say Seecamp no longer exists.

Double Action Thread starter jimipop1 Start date Feb 14, Joined Jan 28, Messages Howdy folks, Im in a bit of a bind. Instead of causing issues I figured "heck, I dont have one, lets start building".
And then I started searching. And searching. So far Ive found reviews and pictures, but not a single drawing, blueprint, schematic, even internals picture. If anyone here could be kind enough to help, I would be greatly appreciative. Harry Eales Registered Registered.

I've had a look around and yes, there is a double action only So I finally got a hold of someone who was useful at Sarco and I was told to ship it back since they had shipped me the wrong thing.
Ill definately be posting pics as I go along the build. Joined Feb 4, Messages I am considering a similar project. I will be keeping an eye out for your build. Are you going to do it as a 45 or 9mm?

Joined Jul 14, Messages Joined Aug 18, Messages I have never seen or heard of a double action version of this pistol.
Now fair enough, I haven't worked on any since they, along with all other pistols, were banned here in but I think I would have heard of one, had one been about. However, I may be mistaken. I think you should post a few pictures just so we can take a look see, to ascertain just what you have got. I have to ask though, why does anyone want a double action semi auto in the first place? I have to agree.
