I've heard of people's struggles with the DA/SA. Spending more time at the range is just something I'll have to put up with. Poor me.

That's right about the Glocks.
Huge list on Wiki of the countries and military/police dept's that use the Sig "P" platform. Anyone who knocks the Sig as being sub-par is talking out of their ass. Anyone who wants to debate on the 'best pistol' can go elsewhere to do it.
I have a 226 and 220 and they're awesome. I have a polymer HK USP and that's also an awesome pistol. I don't like Glock or M&P ergonomics so I didn't even consider one for my range purposes.
No problem. Go start your own thread on the matter.
Credibility: Gone
Congrats. Best upgrade for that Sig226 is a SRT kit.
And then try a spring kit from Grayguns! Been there and done it.... super
I will someday get into the Sig group. I had a norc NP22 for a month a while back. The only thing I could not get used to was using the decocking lever. I don't know if it was the poor factory grips, my small hands or the fact that it was a norc but that made me sell it. I will one day by a real Sig and play with it properly to see it the new slim ergo grips would solve the decocker issue. That or I'll by the P226 SAO. That would take care of it.

the hardest people in canada push them, is IPSC. the people that actually push them are issued guns. those poor QC guns are just fine for 99.9% of gun owners in canada

Update. Gun will arrive tomorrow. I'll be taking plenty of pictures of the unboxing.
I didn't realize a lot of people shoot ipsc with a Sig due to the DA/SA trigger. IMO far many better options.
Looking forward to a range report.
The SIG's are used in competition both in Canada and the US where they have a big following. The Guru of all SIG's Bruce Gray, competes with an X-Five All round and finishes very well in top matches including international ones. I would expect that the P-226 is popular in IDPA. After the "beep" it's as fast as others in the production division. I had my X-five tuned by Grayguns and used his competition parts for my P-226. The similar P-228-9's are popular carry guns in the US and are widely used by LE too.
Uuuuhhhh CZ-75/sp01????
I think most people use other designs due to the ease with which your thumb can land on the slide lock lever causing a failure to lock back on the last round on a p226.
I never found that to be an issue and I modified the controls slightly to make them easier to hit. It's been a while but I think my thumb went under the slide lock and indexed on the breakdown lever. As with any gun, fingers and thumbs need training.
Wow so much hate. I love my 226'scorpion with srt. It took 50 rounds to get used to it, but I can't fire anything else that comes close on my target sum with my big thumbs. Never liked plastic when I held it. To each their own.
