Dating SIG P226R (can't find the two letters)

[john777]

I checked everywhere. Stripped the entire gun and searched for the date code inside and out a few times. I can't find the two letter code except for NH and DE which appears to be generic.

I'm confused!

Thanks!

This does just appear with the older stamped steel slides, aka German Made Sigs. New ones have machined stainless steel slides and don't have the two letter code. It appears under the muzzle part of the slide.

I see. I bought my P226R new, so I guess it cannot be more than a few years old. Thanks!

By the way, how does it shoot?

I dont know yet. Just signed up at Target Sports and waiting for their next safety course. Hopefully very soon.

I fired older P226 plenty times in the past, so I know I will like.

Epps has new shipment of Norc M4. Just saw a ton of them on their website. Dammit! I am so tempted to get one of those too.
