New Sig Sauer - P226 MK25

[mr00jimbo]

Got it from a site sponsor.
Feels great. Gritty out of the box but cleaned it up and lubricated the rails, and now it feels smooth.
Nowhere nearly as smooth as my CZ (trigger work done by a fellow CGNer, smoothest of any pistol) but still feels great.

Ew nice rig but please tell me that barcode isn't etched into it.... Im waiting on my new 226 right now. Getting pretty pumped

 

[mr00jimbo]

It's a sticker. It's on there pretty good, but can be taken off if need be. I'm just going to leave it on.

Nice looking 226!
I traded mine on a pair of Les George VECP's
missed it so I found another one on the EE a few days later

Nice pistol... does it have SRT? If it doesn't, it's a great upgrade.

 

[9millthrill]

Is that the same as the Sig 226 Navy?

 

[mr00jimbo]

No SRT. I am contemplating adding it in the future.
It succeeds the Navy model.

How does it make you feel knowing someone keeps coming back to you're pics dreaming about his own showing up in the mail lol

Its definitely a head turner.

Haha. I had started HATING weekends (imagine that) waiting for this thing.
I had my P226 all-stainless to tide me over.
Which model did you order, the standard one?

 

[JerShadow]

That is gorgeous. Nice pickup, it's my dream pistol. Working my way up to it!

Just a standard. Its my first sig though. Should be a nice change from my m&p (which I hate)

 

[Blown 383]

That is a very nice piece of hardware. Makes me wish I had extra cash on hand.

 

[Trinimon]

Got one of these on my Must Have list. Damn it, jealous! Congrats!

The standard is often the way to go. What do you hate about your M&P?

 

[Jaus1in]

Fine looking 226 jimbo, I am also very jealous

Let us know how it shoots!

 

[Stevebot-7]

Oh my. The anchor entices me, even though I'm waiting for a classic P226 refurb to arrive. Must resist at least until that pistol arrives. It would look so good beside my PPQ Navy...

I don't know if it is just me, but I find the German sigs to have better triggers than the Yankee products. To be honest I have had two Sig USA 226, one I kept and the other was about on par with a Norc so it went. The German made sigs seem to have a much cleaner pull, less grit and just a better "feel". Then again it could all be in my head and simply attributed to the premium attached to the German sigs lol. Although my Sig 226 SS American build has an amazing trigger that is about par with my CZ. I bought it used from a fellow gun nut so maybe he tinkered with it. Definitely agree that the last USA 226 9mm I owned had a grittier than I would expect trigger pull.

I like the trigger on my German made 226. Not to get off topic but do you find the finish on your slide wear easily? I put a couple boxes of ammo through mine and drew it out of an Uncle Mikes Reflex holster a few times and there are some scratches and wear sound the ejection port and the muzzle.

I got the MK25 too. I actually wish the barcode was etched into the frame. I like the gun so far. Haven't put that many rounds through it. Currently waiting on the Trijicon HD sights (orange) to come in. After that, Hogue rubber grips and it's all done.
