    I am going through the same experience of trying to get it to "work". I presently own 2 different p226's and I have tried just about every configuration available. SA/DA, DAK, SRT, short trigger, beavertail, E2 grips, Hogue grips, G10 grips, if it's an option, I've tried it. I shoot the gun best in double action as crazy as that sounds. Single action is still a bit of a battle for me. I am fighting a flinching problem with this gun that I just can't figure out why. I shoot my 1911's in 45 more consistently than I shoot my p226 9 in SA. I am beginning to think that the gun just doesn't fit my hand well...the angle for the trigger is WAY further back than any other gun I shoot. Maybe I just need more time with it. When I'm "on" with it, it rivals my 9mm 1911 for accuracy off hand. When I'm off, I can shoot 4" low and left at 10 yards. That said, I won't part with the gun, I do love it for some reason. It eats anything, super reliable, easy to maintain. 3 out of my 4 range sessions are now pretty good with it, but that's still not good enough. It shouldn't be such a love hate relationship.

     

    I am in the same boat as you. I cannot shoot my 226 Elite Dark consistently at all! When I first got it new, it shot 8" low at 5 yards every time. Sent it back to Sig and they put a shorter front sight on in. Now, depending on the day of the week, I can shoot it better. I hear you with the love hate relationship, but the gun is just too damn sexy to hate for very long!
