226 Navy
- Thread starter Paul
- Start date
Listed on our website... $1,059.48
We try to keep at least one in stock most of the time.
The last one we have right now just got sold a day or two ago... but we'd be happy to order one for you... usually 4 to 5 week delivery if they aren't in stock.

YES.
However, keep in mind that the Navy currently in production is nothing more than a regular P226 with is an engraved anchor. It does not have phosphated internals like the guns supplied to the US Navy. Only the original limited edition civilian Navy model had phospaheted internals and was a true reproduction of the milspec pistol.

Agreed. While my P226 Navy is a nice pistol it is not the original navy model.
SIG is just cashing in on those.
That's not quite accurate...
The 226R-9-NAVY is the same gun as supplied to the Navy Seals and does come with Phosphate Internals... at least it's supposed to. I just spoke to SIG about this and we did some tracking of serial # production... apparently there were some units that were manufactured and shipped (by error) without Phospate Internals.
Anyone who purchased one of these guns from us will be receiving the correct Phospate Internals free of charge. We expect those to arrive here in the next 4 to 5 weeks and will ship them out at that time.
Sorry for any inconvenience... we have confirmed with SIG that the one's arriving on our next shpment will have the correct Phosphate Internals.
One other point... the 226R-9-NAVY comes with 3 magazines instead of the normal 2

Well, it seems that "some units" that were "mistakenly" manufactured without phosphated internals include all Navies produced after the limited edition run (NSW serial number). At least, that's the consensus on Sig Forum. If you do a search there, you will find that this topic has been discussed extensively. And although I haven't personally spoken to Sig about this, a number of well-respected posters on Sig Forum stated that Sig itself had admitted that the P226 Navy no longer had phosphated internals. Also, Sig's website makes no mention of phosphate treatment.
So it seems that the rep you spoke to either did not have the full picture or was not entirely forthcoming.
There was a period when they were selling them without (intentionally) but the 2008 catalogue shows them with Phosphate Internals... my dealer price lists specifically states that they include Phosphate Components and the SIG build list (their internal computer) shows that the guns we ordered the past few months were supposed to have them but 3 in fact slipped through without. He isn't mistaken... the parts are being sent to us and he has confirmed that the one's we have on order and coming have in fact got the Phosphate Internals... he went right to the parts build list and confirmed they are correct.
I worry about my product... frankly I dont' have time to keep track of what everyone else is doing
I stand by what I've posted... the "Navy" models we sell are supposed to come with Phosphate Internals and according to SIG they are correcting the error on the 3 we received that didn't.

Just to follow up...
I can only speak for the guns we buy and sell. I can't answer for what others may or may not do or say.
The "Navy" models that we purchased from SIG were clearly purchased as including Phosphate Internal Components and even the SIG invoice to us clearly states that the guns they sold to us had the NSWG designation which means the same gun they sell to Navy Seals including the Phosphate Internals... says this right on our invoice.
The NSWG designation denotes "Navy Special Warfare Group".
While SIG's 2008 catalogue doesn't say "Phosphate Internals" it does state: "The P226 Navy is the same reliable 9mm pistol that the US Navy SEALs carry."
Also, the Dealer Price list does specifically state: "Black Nitron Finish, Phosphate Components, Anchor engraving, 3 Magazines".

Just to update previous discussions...
As promised SIG Sauer delivered the "missing" Phosphate parts so that we can correct the error made on the 3 guns they shipped us in August. Parts arrived yesterday and we've sent emails to the customers affected.
There was never any hesitation on SIG's part to correct the error... they shipped the correct parts within days and sent them out on a no charge invoice.
We have more of these 226R-9-NAVY (NSWG) models coming and they do have the Phosphate Internal Components as advertised.

I agree, it is pretty hard to beat the service Questar provides.
