Let's see 'em...

Here's a pic of my favorite 9mm...a SIG SAUER P226...made in West Germany in 1988, which I bought used for $400 off a friend whose brother ( deceased ) had carried it alot and shot it little. I just swapped out the original recoil and firing pin springs with a Wollf 15lb (factory standard) package.

The P226 was designed for entry into the XM9 Service Pistol Trials (Joint Service Small Arms Program), which were held by the US Army in 1984 on behalf of the US armed forces to find a replacement for the M1911A1. Only the Beretta 92F and the SIG P226 satisfactorily completed the trials. According to a GAO report, Beretta was awarded the M9 contract for the 92F due to better durability during endurance testing and a lower total package price. The P226 cost less per pistol than the 92F, but SIG's package price with magazines and spare parts was higher than Beretta's. The Navy SEALs, however, chose to adopt the P226 later.

SIG P226 (made in Germany)

SIG makes some of the most accurate out-of-the-box firearms in the world !!

I walked in to my LGS to have my first SIG ordered last year and that's when the SCAR 16s jumped off the wall and into my arms. Alas no SIG in my life yet, but there's a P220 Elite Stainless in my future...



This photo keeps me awake at night...

Just picked up my P220 Elite Stainless. Ain't she a beauty!!!





This pistol feels amazing and fits my hand like a glove. I'm really looking forward to heat'n it up this weekend.

Took her out this morning for a first run. It was 25 degrees outside and I could barely feel my fingers. Didn't get more than 50 rounds through it before I called it quits, but I was VERY impressed with the pistol. It shoots incredibly smoothe and was dead nuts on target. Here's one of my better groups at 25yds...



Looks like she's a keeper!

Very nice SIG and some wicked good shootin' SNIPER !!

Thank you Sir.

That P220 is a beauty, LES. If I ever do get around to getting a Sig, that is exactly what I would get.
I figure if you need to defend yourself, you might as well do it with style and class
