Couldn't pry my 226, 239 or 220 out of my hands... but everyone is different.

Tried lots of others? As I said earlier it's my first (and only) pistol (revolver not withstanding) and am curious. One thing to fire a glock a couple of times (and hate the grip angle) or pick up the Walther in a store but ownership is a whole new game. Just bought a new shotgun, so need to sell something in order to buy anything else. Maybe just bored and will regret it later. Hard to say. Thanks for the opinions though.

Can you get a kit to Chang a p226 9mm to 45 acp .

Not that I know of. The Sig 220 is a 45 and there are kits available for it however, there is a 22 kit and possibly more. I am assuming there is a 9mm kit as there are 9mm versions of the 220. I am sure Wolverine could bring them in.
 
Greetings. First post. I have been following this thread and wanted to ask, if it is appropriate to ask here, that if one purchases the 9mm or .40 s&w kit to install onto a P226 .22 platform, do these two slides come with adjustable sites front and rear like the .22 classic?

Side Note.
I do not own the Sig or any handgun at the moment but I'm searching and investigating to find the right one for me. Along with the Sig P266, I've been looking at the CZ Combat 9mm and the CZ SP0-1. Could any of you experienced fellas give me your thoughts on my choices? It is hard when you don't have the ability to go and try out a piece before buying. Thanks
 
Exodus I own a Sig P226 classic 22 with an exchange kit in 40 S&W as well I own a CZ 75 in 9mm and a kadet 22 kit for it, of the two the CZ is to more accurate firearm for me. I did a bit of a test with both in the 22 format with the same ammo and the CZ beat the Sig for accuracy at 25 yards. If I had to own just one it would be the CZ, not that I don't like the Sig but for me the CZ is my more accurate firearm.
The best way to know for sure is to get to a local range and see if you find someone that has one or both that will let try them and see which one you like to feel of and which one you shoot better, good luck.

Could you check out my first question and give it a go?

Just going off the pictures that Sig has on their storefront, it appears that the sights have the capability to be adjusted. Any pros want to confirm or deny?

It's funny because I'm in a similar situation: P226 .22lr + 9mm Xchange kit OR CZ SP-01 Shadow + .22lr Kadet kit
Starting to lean towards the CZ just because I've had a chance to handle it and the grip feels great

Exodus sorry that I missed that part of the question the first time, the 40 S&W exchange kit that I have is basically a fixed sight slide. The sights are mounted in dovetail slots so left - right adjustment is possible but no elevation, I am sure that aftermarket sights can be purchased to give you the adjustment that you are looking for. The sights are also set up so the front sight dot is where the bullet impact is to be, so you have to cover the center of the target with it to get the bullets into the black on a 25 yard targets.

Yes, this is definitely the appropriate place to ask the adjustable sights question. I have the 9mm and can confirm mine is the same as Don's : the sights are non adjustable but replaceable. If you're close to the interior of BC I'd be happy to let you try out my 226 .22 and 9mm. I do enjoy shooting it, but as I was saying earlier I too would like to try owning some other pistols. Can't afford everything.
 
Hello Fatstacks:

Thank you for your response. I don't live near by but thanks for that. I was told by a US dealer that the best way to go is to buy the .22lr classic P226 and then go for either the 9mm or .40 for it is the most economical route. I saw this youtube video and noticed that the fella was not having good success with his P226 .22lr kit. I hope I don't run into this if I end up buying one. http://youtu.be/D7mbqHNqXgU
 
Exodus so far my 22 has worked well with no complaints. I went the 22 version and then the exchange kit to get the 40 S&W which worked out to be around the same price as a 40 S&W version.
One thing I will suggest is get the extended magazine followers from sig power since the original magazine followers don't lock the slide open on the last round, with the sig power extended followers it will keep the slide open after the last shot but you will have to manually pull the slide back and lock it open before you remove the magazine. I wish they were like the CZ magazines and worked correctly to lock the slide back on the last round.
 
Expecting any 357 Sig X-Change kits for the 226 or just the 357 Sig barrel (as I believe the 40 cal mag and slide/spring are dual purpose for both calibers)?
