Well, for the people who bought one, he or she must have really liked it, yes? They don't come cheap.Anyone NOT love their Sig P226 ?
Why?
Anyone NOT love their Sig P226 ?
Why?
most non-polymer framed double stack 9 mm pistols have fat grips (e.g. Beretta 92). The new (last 5 years?) wrap around grip makes it a lot easier to handle.
I had it before the new grip, so I've never tried that. The CZ75 line has a noticeably slimmer grip.

I like my 226 but sometimes wonder if I should have got the 229--only logical answer is to get both!
E2Do you mean the E2 grip or the cheap, but new plastic grip? Mine still has the old 1996 grip.
I like mine but would like a Short reset trigger installed. Anyone know a good person to install this?
I have a 226 and, like the Beretta 92FS, it has been totally reliable for me. I do have some aftermarket mags that don't always feed the last round, but that's not the fault of the gun. The grips are a just a bit large for me as well, but i have small hands.
I like it, and respect it for the design and quality, but I don't love it. It just doesn't have a perfect match for me. I recently got an all stainless S&W 5906 and that is my favorite 9mm now. I like the compact and smooth lines of the S&W, and heavy dense feel, similar to a 1911. The Sig has more metal than a polymer gun, but it isn't quite like the "fistful of steel" feel of the 1911 or older all-metal Smith & Wessons.
Likewise If I could get my hands on a CZ 75 in this godforsaken state, I would do that as well.
I have a couple of P226s that I love, but I have replaced the sights and had expensive ($500!) trigger jobs done. These guns are very well made but pricey and in need of mods as they come from the factory. I think the S&W 5906 is a better gun right out of the box.
I've put in four now. It's literally a 10min operation, and part of that is removing the grips. It's a very straight forward DIY.

I've always liked Sigs, but I have to admit that the CZ-75 has much better ergonomics.
I'm not a huge fan of the Sig E2 grips. They just don't feel "right" to me.
Yes, SIG. They were having a sale, and they gave me a deal on shipping since I was local. Printed label, took to FedEx and it came back to me about a week later. Had SRT and different size trigger to fit my smaller hand better. GREAT job!
It really is amazing how different people feel about the same gun. I have a 226 and a 229 and shoot them both very well.
I tried a Glock 19 and had a lot of trouble with it and my buddy shot the thing like it was an extension of his hand.
I think it has a lot to do with the size of your hands and the length of your fingers. I had a hard time finding a subcompact that felt comfortable for me.
Wow. You can search the entire Internet and you will not find that line written anywhere else.
