sig sauer p226 mk25 california  They’re everywhere. My local guns store (San Antonio’s Academy) stocks P226 aplenty. Internet-oriented buyers can mouse click a P226 to their local FFL via Bud’s Gun Shop and CheaperThanDirt. In fact, the sexy Sigs made the top 20 list for the best selling guns

Price has a lot to do with it. The Sig Sauer P226—my favorite handgun of all time—costs nearasdammit $800. The smaller, lighter Sig Sauer P226 clocks in around $400 to $430 retail. That’s cheaper than its big brother and Gaston Glock’s ever popular nine. So is the a Sig lite? Well . . .

The P226 may look a tad different than the P226 on the outside, but it bears a striking resemblance on the inside. The guns’ functions are identical, both in terms of trigger pull feel and the single action/double action mechanics. The grip shape is close enough for rock and roll. The P226’s slide’s general design and extractor echo classic Sig cues. But there are some distinct differences . . .

The first thing Sig  usually notice: the grip. It’s made of plastic. While the P226’s polymer handle may not be as strong as steel who’s gonna break it? You? The P226’s significantly lighter than the P226 (a.k.a., ballistic boat anchor); suitable for everyday carry. The younger sib’s improved texture also makes it a lot more grippy.

The p226 “chassis” is made of steel. The actual bits that move along the rails of the slide and keep the gun running are also metal, set into the grip. The p226 doesn’t have full-length rails like the P226, but again, do you need that level of build quality for non-special ops? And if you do, pay up. Meanwhile . . .
