My Sigs

Trip_Wire (RIP) · 02-10-2005, 21:00

I carried the Sig 226 on duty in my PD when we were restricted to 9MM. I bought the 220 .45 later when the department allowed us to carry .45's. I liked the 226 for it's (15) Rd mags and the way it shot for me. The pistols are shown with a Milt Sparks IWB holster and IWB Mag holder. The holster worked for both pistols; however, the mag holder only worked for the .45 (220). They both came with the fixed front sight, so I wasn't able to get night sights without major gunsmithing.

I've always liked the look of the 226. What's it like to shoot?

Nice grips! I'm putting Hogue rubber grips (w/o finger grooves) on my 226, as well as a short trigger for my small hands

I always enjoyed shooting the 226, it was like shooting a .22 to me! I pointed well and fit my hand real good.

The grips on the Sig 220 .45 are Hogue rubber grips. The ones on the 226 are Sig wooden grips.

Does anyone still use Pachmeyr?

BTW, i love 226, nice, sturdy 'easy/smooth' to shoot.

Way back when, Astra made a model that was an exact copie of the 226 at a fraction of the price, and, yes a fraction of the quality.
