Could be that you're more used to the grip angle on the Glock. What kind of P226 was it? One with the stainless steel slide?
I can't say I've ever found the P226 with the sheet steel slide to be a problem staying on target, especially compared to a Glock. The Beretta 92FS has less muzzle flip than either the Glock 17 or the P226, but it has more weight up front, that's why.
i was just wondering...i really like the SIG 226 in 9mm. But it wouldn't rapid fire very well, I probably just need more time to get used to it. I think your right about the Beretta muzle flip. Slavex shoots those things like pellet guns, no flip nothing, all on target.
Richardoldfield, I hope I don't come off sounding like I'm taking a potshot at you (I'm not), but I'm curious why you always offer opinions on firearms that are prohibited in this country? You know very well that we can't own guns like the P228 and 4" N-Frames. Do you derive some sort of sadistic satisfaction out of reminding us about all the great toys we can't have thanks to our bonehead politicians? You are lucky to live in a country where gun ownership is seen as a right rather than an [increasingly less justifiable] privilege. Please don't tease your not so fortunate neighbors.richardoldfield said:I have owned a lot of handguns including Sigs. The only Sig I have really liked is the P228. In my opinion it is the right size for a 9mm. In a 40 S&W the only Sig that attracts my attention is the P229 and this is for the same reasons as the P228. Is there any chance you can find a Browning High-Power (BHP) in 40 S&W? Why? The BHP is the softest shooting 40 S&W I have shot. Regards, Richard

Well I talk about handguns all the time, and they're banned here.
At least in Canada you can have P228s and N-Frame S&Ws, you just need to replace the barrel with a slightly longer one. I do prefer the grip on the P228 to the standard P226.
Frankly if I could only own one pistol (and at the moment I can't own any except overseas, so this is not a stretch for me) it would be a P228.

I heard that some former UK gun owners store their handguns in France these days. Is that what you do?cybershooters said:Well I talk about handguns all the time, and they're banned here.

I still prefer to get my SIGS from TSE.
They actually stock replacement parts and when I had a long prolonged debate a couple of years ago with Nicholls over a cracked slide issue, they really went to bat for me.
They have earned my buying loyalty!
