P226 Appreciation Thread

[chickeninad]

Just finished my build! My final touches were the slide and optic combo from SIG (they surprisingly shipped it to my house without having me upload ID) and the legion slide lock lever.

Man, sold my 226 SAO Legion a few years back. Probably the only gun I've ever regretted selling. Now you got me itching to get back on the 226 train lol. Glad I kept several freedom week 226 mags "in case of emergency". Your MK25 looks awesome.

Had a German Import P226 and Off Roster MK25 years ago. Great guns, sold them because at the time 1911 .45acp reined supreme for me. Ah, to be young again.

I sold my off roster mk25 too. now that i’m back and see what they did to the p226 I regret it.

Thanks! Never had such a serious built out handgun before.. can’t wait to try the SRO

Ahh! You have not tried it yet? I swapped my SRO from my legion 320 (getting weird looks from RSO's, so I went back to the classics) onto my P226 X5 and found it sat a little to far forward at the ejection port and was smoking up the lens a little. I put a Defender XL and it and all is good. I would be curious if your MK25 w/ pro cut slide is different.

Started off with a P226 MK25 back in the day and now my favorite 226 is my P226X5 STAS

There is just something about that STAS that is stunningly beautiful. Looks aside, the 86 way adjustable trigger is really nice. About as flat shooting as the 2011 big boys too.

They look cool BUT is dislike comps or porting. I’d rather have longer barrel length. Still happy to see the P226 platform being updated.

hard to deny that the 226 isnt one of the best of em.

 

[Bloodkitty]

LOL, no need to choose, enough love to go around

Can I have one?

Can I have one?

kinda feels like you could get maybe 5 and then just 45 different grip and magwell sets.

The P226 is really one of those ultimate handguns where when someone says "gun" I think of that or the infamous M9 silhouette

Got a ‘94 “KE” stamp. One of the last to get the Made in ‘W’ Germany stamp. Also, my only handgun without a dot. Can’t get myself to send the slide for a cut, lol

Don't cut it... it's a classic

That would be like getting a collectors classic Porsche and putting a wrap on it or some upgrades. It would destroy its value!

I would never cut the vintage slide. On the Sig website, you can purchase pre-cut slides.
