Sig p226 as a first gun.

[Renuco612]

Exactly what it says. What do y'all think if it as a first time pistol owners pistol. Have shot before so its not the first actual pistol i have shot. I know these are hard to come by brand.new so think Im going to jump on it. I was originally going to get a glock 17 but when i saw this i now have a change of heart.

What do you all think.

The P226 is a FINE weapon

[harleygsb]

I agree, it is an excellent gun and extremely well built.

Pig P226R Navy is my first gun and it's a great pistol.

[Just-in]

If I could've afforded it at the time a 229 would've been my first only because I prefer a smaller frame. The 226 is a fine firearm!

[California44]

Great gun. Have you shot full size 1911 in 45? I was headed towards the p226 and went with a 1911 as my first.

[sjm9877]

A P226 9mm was my first pistol. It's a great gun.

[GraySquirrel]

The P226 was my first choice as well but I didn't want to spend too much on my first pistol so I went with a SP2022. I'm happy with it but if you can afford to get the P226.

Your first or last, it's an excellent, battle proven combat pistol.
Seek the all-German P226, that's a keeper.

Sig p226 is a fine weapon and i have no doubts that you will love it. i have a p226 combat and couldn't be happier

[Renuco612]

The only thing stopping me is the price. My local gun shop is selling it for $1075. Which is a bit more then I want to spend but then again you will get QUALITY wriiten all over it. Another Local shop does has the p2022 and only going for $539.

Go big or go home. Jump on it.

p226 in 9mm is a great gun. I prefer the older non-railed versions but thats just me. I'm still on my first pistol myself. I chose the glock 35 and really like it.

[rman]

haven't shot the p226 but I have a p229 that shoots beautifully. Just picked up the sp2022 in 9.. haven't shot it yet but i doubt it'll be anything short of awesome.

i might just be a sig sauer fanboy in the making

Your first or last, it's an excellent, battle proven combat pistol.
Seek the all-German P226, that's a keeper.

How would I be able to tell if it is the all German one?
