Title: Figured I'd give Sig a try this time
Post by: barmandr on November 28, 2012, 03:27:35 AM

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).

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)
