I’m just a farm boy and I’m very blessed to have my sig p226 mk25 as my edc. Reliable, accurate, and just plain sexy.

[@christhornton8219]

Me too! This was my most wanted handgun, and I finally found one. I didn't hesitate to pull the trigger.

[@kaedre1211]

My Dad has a P226 Legion & I liked it so much that I was gonna buy one, but my Dad told me that his is gonna be mine one day. Shit, ain't No telling . . . he may out live me. Tomorrow isn't promised to no one, so I'm still buying me one.

[@SuaveCityGear]

😂 get that boy! Stop holding yourself back homie 🙏🏾…GET THE p226 Pro cut

[@cindymilburn9051]

My husband purchased this weapon without my knowing. Glad he bought it. Goes right along with my Sig 45 cal. Both great guns, but the 9mm seams to rise and fall on it's own putting you right back on target. Now we swap when we go outside to our private range! Thanks Sig Sauer for two great handguns!

[@MrTinmansbrain]

Good information, no ego, no BS. Love it! God, family, and guns is a great name too!

[@markreaser4661]

Sir, the reason why the US went to the Beretta 92F is to keep our NATO Bases in Italy. Pentagon politics! In all actuality, the Sig P226 Beat out the 92F! After 5,000 rounds, the 92F started to show stress fractures in the barrel. Also not the most accurate weapon from my experience in the Marines under President Reagan. I personally still have my 1986 P226 that I carried as a Grunt... Another Note is that CPO Laskey of ST9 was a big influence on the SEALS going to Sig Sauer P226. Note: Not all SEALS are fans of the Glock 19 nor do they deploy with them.

[@kentwilliams4152]

When Aberdeen Proving Ground was testing all available handgun sight combinations for the U.S. Border Patrol I had the occasion of sitting out a thunder storm with the lead engineer at Aberdeen. I asked him about the Beretta selection in regards to the rumor you mentioned. At that question he became somewhat angry and proceeded to tell me that he hated that rumor and how many times he had to rerun the military pistol tests, and how each time the Beretta won. He explained that they pulled 4 random samples of each lot they received from Beretta to insure 10,000 round reliability. They ran one of the last four until it broke. It made it to just under 40,000 rounds!

[@PerceptionVsReality333]

It takes some practice to get used to the Beretta92FS sights & last time I checked it was SigSauer pistols that have a very short service life.

[@markreaser4661]

My 226 in 40 cal is my EDC weapon 365 days a year. Total perfection.

[@clintwalker1517]

3:27 shows a shooter shooting my favorite Sig Sauer, the P229R in Legion trim. What a wonderful gun to shoot and conceal, if you are stout enough. It's a little brick of firepower I fell in love with when I first saw one in 1993. Shoots as smooth as butter. Notice that you can see his support-side thumb dangling out there doing nothing to help support the gun and to help transfer the kinetic energy generated upon recoil laterally along the wrist and forearm to the elbows. Without positive support-side thumb pressure (Kickstand Technique) and without a support-side thumb that's parallel to the support-side forearm, the muzzle wants to rise, with the center-of-gravity and center-of-form doing weird things to try to overcome one another. Muzzle down shooting is easy if you apply proper technique to accommodate the kinetic energy transfer effect. Stay safe and remember that only perfect practice makes perfect. Anything short of that is simply reinforcing bad habits.

[@battearfoxx9167]

As well as ignoring bad habits, letting fog dictate sense of smell through the eyes,, that's usually true with all of life's, sorry, people's, bad habits, 🇦🇺🐾🐾🛸🦎

[@CoalMiner379]

My grandfather left me his 1944 colt 1911 and his west german sig p226, love that weapon so much i had to buy a new one and luckily was able to get a legion 226 and a 226RX, out of all the weapons iv got i gotta say my 226's are absolutely flawless in every way, i cant find a single thing i dont love about them. In my own opinion i would chose my 226's even over my 1911s, just some very very precise spot on shooting guns right outta the boxes. Everyone stay safe carry everyday and God Bless!

[@joshroten3997]

My former US gov’t. Issue P226 Navy / Mk 25 is the best pistol I own, and I shoot it better than any of my others. I Consistently hit my 8” steel plate at 50 yards with my 226. Can occasionally hit that plate at that distance with some of my others, but nothing like the accuracy of my 226. Excellent piece of kit.

[@joshuatorres6206]

Thank you for your ministry. I appreciate seeing other God fearing and loving families and your videos are always helpful and interesting. Keep the videos coming. God Bless you and your family!

[@dpcoronado]

The stamped-slide West German 226's are not as dense as the milled-slide versions. The stamped versions have a more balanced feel, especially on the draw. With the newer 18-round mags, the center of gravity is even lower in the hand. The milled-slides feel more top-heavy, especially from a low-ready to a firing position. Sigs make great pistols, I just prefer my West German one. Bought it used 18 years ago.

[@MarkTurner-vs7uc]

I have an 88 226 German. The best that ever was. No failures in a good 20 years. Got a 228 to retire my 226, same thing . The best, period

[@jasonbowes3303]

Norinco of China bought SIG USA’s pre 1982 tooling and still use it. They make the NP22 a P226r clone in 9mm. They also make other NP clones in different calibres. They designed there own rail on the front dust covers, was not on the original pre 82 models. They skip a lot of finish machining and the inside looks awful, but it’s a SIG design and goes bang every time! For $400 Canadian I can’t complain. It will do for now…😂

[@jameslogan6127]

Great stuff. I just purchased the Sig P226 Legion SAO a few months ago and all I can say is shooting it is a breathtakingly fun 🤩 experience. I love it. Yesterday, I purchased and shot the M11a1/P229 and I’m loving it too. Still it DA/SA with a decocker unlike the P226. Trigger pull which you know is 10/4 and very smooth. Nevertheless, it doesn’t quite match the short reset trigger on the P226. Nevertheless, I purchased it because although I love shooting the P226 the M11/P229 is smaller and I feel much more easily carried and concealed. Anyway, great stuff most of which I had no clue.

Gotta love that Straight Bar trigger. I use my SAO P226 Legion in local USPSA events.

Worked for DOD as a firearms instructor for several years training new shooters on the Beretta M9. Excellent weapon and easy transition for new shooters to qualify without difficulty. Major upgrade with the M9A3 that I just purchased. The military really goofed on selecting the Sig in lieu of the M9A3.

You know how you sometimes "know something", even though you have no way to know if it's true? Your company sells wagons, wagon travel could be dangerous, so you spend some "wagon" income on R&D to making a rifle to sell alongside your wagons as an "upsell"!

[@jerrywick3901]

The Sig-Sauer P-220 came out first in 1977. Imported to the United States, marked as Browning BDA-Browning Double Action, with a European style hell-magazine release. The 226 first appeared in 1981. It's just an enlarged version of the 220. But with a wider grip, plus 15-rounds of 9mm. Instead of 7-round of .45 auto. Or 9 rounds of .38 Super. The XM-9 trials of 1984? Oh well, that's another story and very long and controversial after all these years.

[@keithlucas6260]

Interesting info and considering I have a Browning Hi-Power I have noticed the resemblance. For a prayer request I have been out of work for just over a year and a half. I had just this week got a job offer for a job however upon taking the UA and having a valid prescription for Hydrocodone they will not hire me or anyone on prescription meds, so one a heads up as I'm seeing this more and more as a result of the new laws being turned out from the DEA, which has no authority to do so. Next I've decided to get off the stuff as it's no longer acceptable for being in the machinist trade or around moving equipment. And third I need prayers for favor, healing and pain to go away in Jesus name.
