    My P226 refinished in 2 tone





    Sorry for the bad cell pics, main camera is MIA.

    Guy in Texas did an amazing job and the pics don't do them justice.

    More specifics on what you did? Did you have both the lower and upper coated?

      Upper and lower, that's rifle talk...lol...

      The slide was done in stainless and the frame was done in what the guy called semi gloss. It's visually striking as I wanted something different.

        Nice, reminds me of my Beretta.


        What kind of grip is that? Do you like it?

        I'd like to see a lighter colored frame w/ black grips and a black slide w/ stainless barrel. Does SS make stainless barrels for their pistols?

          Just a regular set of Hogues. They have more texture and the OEM's were slippery as hell.

            Not sure if Sig has factory stainless barrels, but the guy also plated the P226 barrel:

                Sick Sig! I parked my slide myself but wished I'd know about stainless plating at the time. Thanks for posting... Got the same grips.. Love em!

                  Mind posting who you sent it to? I thought about doing this to an all black Sig since two tone is no longer being made. Would NP3 plating be similar?

                      I really dig it. Have you considered new grips? The Hogue G10s would look mighty fine on a pistol like that.

                            Is the slide bead blasted, or coated?

                              I think he said it was a moly resin coating.
