If you want a great deal on a nice pistol, look online for police trade-ins. That is how I got this nice Sig P226r. The “r” means that it has a rail for mounting a light. The pistol came with tritium night sights that feature a nice ledge on the rear sight for one handed manipulation.
It is chambered in .357 sig. the factory mags hold 13 rounds. I carry two Mec-Gar +2 mags for reloads. Each holds 15 rounds. They are marked as .40. The .40 & .357 sig use the same magazines. The .357 sig round is basically a .40 case necked down to a smaller diameter which results in a very reliable feeding bottleneck cartridge.
This pistol is double action/single action with a decocker lever.
For me personally, I really like the feel of the P226 in my hand. It is quite comfortable to shoot.
Do you like the P226? Have you picked up any good police trade in deals?
