I had an extra TLR-1 laying around, so I needed something to put it on. So, I picked up a Sig P226 Elite. It has everything I was looking for...High capacity (came with three 18 round mags), a rail, and 9mm. I only wanted it for home defense, so the size/bulk is not a concern. I have my 1911's for EDC. Crappy cell phone pic below...(I know, too much oil. It was wiped down after I saw how bad the pic was).

Looks good man, how's it feel when it comes to bang bang?

Man....if having rail lights is all it takes for a new gun...I'm heading out to shop.....

I love the look of the beavertail on the Sigs. makes me with mine had one. those wood grips look awesome as well.

Sig's shoot like butter. The heavy slide taking up that recoil... mmm yummy.
I swapped out the rose wood handles on my p229 equinox for some hogue, but that's cause mine's a carry gun :).
If you haven't had a chance to shoot a Sig, find a buddy that has one or a range that has one to rent. You'll enjoy it :)
edit:
ps:purty 226 barmandr :)

If you don't want to bang up those pretty wood grips, I might have a set of somewhat-worn P226 polymer grips laying around. If you're interested, let me know and I'll look through the parts bin.
Nice looking SIG, BTW.

Love those grips.
I have about 5 or 6 unused scopes in the closet that need something under them...you just gave me a little extra push. (now to get the wife on board)
