Finally bought myself gun #3 on my wishlist.... brand new SIG 226 in 9mm. I fell in love with this gun a few years ago after my friend let me borrow his, feels like it was custom made for me. Got her at Cheyenne Mtn. the other day, great 10% off sale! Now all I need to do is find some 9mm ammo and put some holes in paper!

Very nice! The sigs do have their own "Feel".. And I see you got one with a rail on it. lol.. have you gotten into any rail/no-rail debates yet?

 

How many rounds does she hold?

Nice, this gun is easily in my top 3 as well. Have fun finding the 9MM for it though

nice sig sparny...what did you end up paying for it with the sale price??

No debates yet... sure to come though lol. I personally wanted the rail, and I'm pretty sure it is standard now on the 226... not even sure if you can still get it without one. To answer your other question, she came with one 15 round mag, wish it came with more cause those mags can get preetty expensive.

Thanks hotshot! With the sale price, the gun came out to $750 before tax. out the door was $804.... not bad for a brand new P226. I did some research and the average for NJ is anywhere from $790 to $850 before tax.

Awesome gun Sparny! Very cool!! Is that going to be a HD gun? Have you given any thought as to putting anything on the rail like a light or laser ?

So you request a quote from all the vendors here on NJGF, twice, but you buy from the outside. :roll:

Love that P226! Congrats! Hope it shoots as good as it looks.

 

Does that mean the prices at CM were better than our own sponsor's quotes?

 

Personally, I value service and loyalty as a value of ownership and am willing to spend a few dollars more to patronize my own range or a forum sponsor, but that is just me. My last 5 new gun purchases were all local, SS, Tips and BA (all of these were purchased before this forum began). As soon as I get a new job, I plan on getting a few more pieces for my collection. I need a shotty, a Garrand or other vintage rifle and maybe an evil one. Of course, if there is a real low price somewhere, all bets are off

Oh, come on now... you're making me feel bad l :oops: lol. To quote the "Godfather"... 'It's not personal, it's simply business'. Plus, I have purchased numerous firearms from Harry's/Cheyenne and always check their first for what I want.

thanks man! It'll be ready to rock and roll for HD if need be, but it's not my first "go to". I'll most likely get a light for it, and might do Crimson Trace grips for a laser. This will be my open carry and winter CC gun for when I'm back down at school in VA.

Cool....NJPilot just got a light laser combo for his CZ....works very well, and alot cheaper than crimson trace grips...they are pretty pricey IIRC.

Nice. I have one in 9mm and 40 S&W. Good price and your going to love it.

I recently got one in .40 (P226 Elite) and it is fantastic. gorgeous gun and great out of the box

Very nice! As others have said you will love it. I have had one, an older, no rail model, for about a year and a half now and it's great. Accurate, not picky at all about ammo and reliable. Enjoy.

+1, I've got the P229 version in 40 S&W and love it! No rails as it's an older model, but shots great with WWB cheapies.

I have a P226 as well in .40 S&W and love it

It says "Frame made in German" in the piture. Are all the other parts made in NH?

What's the difference between a P226 and a P229? I gotta know.

Ray Ray-

 

did you fail math in the 1st grade?

 

the difference is 3!

 

geez, whats next? what comes after Z in the alphabet?

 

P229 has shorter barrel. 3.9 in. vs to 4.4in.

Currently, they are assembled here in the USA, but some guns like the 229 have their frames built here. But most are built by Sauer in the Fatherland. Confusing, I know. Kind of like buying a Japanese car that is ASSEMBLED in Ohio, but the transmission and engine are fabricated in Japan and then shipped to Ohio. Hope that answers your question

A few inches here and there. Essentially the same. I like the 226 based on the feel in my hand and the size of it. But my mentor, (Sgt. with the VA State Police) swears by the 229 in .357 SIG. All personal pref.

Thanks guys, that makes sense. I know the previous owner (before my father, as he gave it to me) used it for concealed carry as he was a retired cop.

Nice score!!! I've got an older P226 and it's a gem to shoot. I practice (mostly dry fire and shooting)w/ my G19's at least 4x week. I hardly ever practice w/ the P226. Last time at the range I was shooting 3" groups or so at 15 yards w/ the G19. Picked up the P226 and brought it down to 1.25" for the 1st group and just over 1" for the 2nd group. Outstanding shooters those Sigs are!!!

Got a 226 in .40 S&W. Love it. Fits my hand beautifully (phew!). Have had the .357 Sig bbl. for it for a while, but haven't shot the Sig yet.

Sigs are beautiful guns.

Enjoy that one!

Congrats on the purchase! My friend just bought a P226 in 40SW on Sunday and I got to put about 24 rounds through it and it is simply a fantastic pistol. Nice weight and ergonomics.

Awesome! Thanks for buying from us! Now you just gotta get the .22 conversion kit lol.

Now you just gotta get the .22 conversion kit lol.

How much do you sell the conversion kit for?
