something going on with california and sig on the p226?

[jpx0123]

i was talking to someone and they told me that you can't buy a sig p226 right now due to some breach of contract between sig and cal? is that right? can't find anything about it anywhere.

I see lots of p226's on the roster... some of them come up for renewal soon but for now it appears they are still GTG.

As to their availability... who knows, it might be that most of them have been snatched up and Sig is behind in production, but if you can find one at a LGS or online, you can buy it w/o doing a SSE.

I just dros'd an MK25 yesterday. Just hard to find right now.

[jpx0123]

ok..one of the guys at a gun store i was at said they weren't allowed to sell p226 right now because of something going on.. hmm..

well i feel a bit relieved.. once some stock comes in i was planning on picking one up..

[BLC]

I just got one. Anybody know where I can find some mags?? .40 S&W please...

[FrankDux]

Yzernie on here in commercial section has some on order and he has good prices. Good guy. But keep an eye out and look daily cuz they go quick. As for mags I cant find anything! Sold Out everywhere I looked, only one is Ebay but $80 a mag thats a bit much! Good luck.

I generally don't believe anything told to me by a gun store employee.

Sig had a bunch of guns on the roster that expired last July. Apparently someone at Sig forgot to renew them. Look at the dates you posted it looks like they got an extension.

In my experience LGSs are the worst possible place to get info on firearms laws/regulations. They probably just don't have any p226's in stock and want you to buy one of the pistols they DO have in stock rather than find a p226 through a different FFL. Maybe I'm just too cynical...

[chering88]

Herb Bauer in Fresno had almost ZERO guns in their cases, it was pitiful. He said that their Sig rep is promising inventory mid to late February.

I just put a deposit on the next SP2022 that comes into their store.

Glad tax season is coming up! I could use the overtime pay for the rest of it haha

Does this mean no surplus German? Was gonna order a 2002 P226 police surplus..

[Freq18Hz]

There is lots of fud going around.

The gun salesman was likely referring to the fact that Dianne Feinstein is planning on introducing a bill that would ban many common semi automatic firearms, and that California democrats are currently preparing to introduce legislation that would ban all semi automatic firearms with a detachable magazine in the state of California. This obviously includes the P226.

Yes, unfortunately the non railed cannot be sent to California.

I was in the same boat. Got a CZ75BD instead.

I have a CZ75BD and it is an amazing gun (and cheaper than the P226). Only problem is the 10rd version is EXTREMELY difficult to find. Went through hell and high water to find one, but so happy I have it. Ridiculously accurate.

Are 2002 versions German? Aren't they German frame, Stainless Slide, External Extractor and no rail?

Oh and I've only shot a CZ 75 once and it was very nice. Don't really know about durability/reliability, but accurate, nice trigger, fun gun to shoot.
