Welcome to the SIG cult, my friend! I love my P226 (40), have some fun with and let us know how it shoots for you!
And give us a look!
here's a quick photo

i found it at Bass Pro Shop. it was previously a CHL class weapon, and was a CPO weapon with fewer than 200 rounds through it. best part, they put it out about 30 minutes before i happened to show up. paid $525 for it. i was planning on going with an SW99, but this was my dream 9mm and i just couldn't pass up on such a deal.
You bought a Sig 226 over a SW99...you just gave yourself one fine Christmas gift. :smt023
Congratulations, nice buy. The P226 is one of the finest autos ever made, you did well.
That's a fine looking weapon. When you get a chance let us know how it shoots.:smt023:smt072 :smt023Quote:

For a high capacity nine, it just doesn't get much better than the P226.
I noticed the same thing when I compared the Sig 229 in 9mm with the G 19.Quote:

A curious thing I find is that the difference between steel framed guns and glocks reduces as the gun gets bigger. My G 34 does not have more noticeable recoil for me than a steel framed gun such as the CZ 75. But I do notice the difference in the smaller guns. I would love to get a 226, perhaps an Equinox, and I may do so in 07 if my budget can stand it.
I think you got a good deal on your gun.
