The Sig Sauer P226R is a robust and reliable semi-auto pistol cherished by both law enforcement and civilian firearm enthusiasts alike. This piece, in factory new condition, was manufactured in the United States on May 8, 2013. It comes complete with all original accessories, paperwork, and the original factory box/case. This model has never been fired, ensuring it is in pristine condition for the next owner.
This firearm is a part of the highly respected P226 series developed by Switzerland-based company Sig Sauer. The P226 was originally designed in the 1980s as a replacement for the U.S. military's M1911A1. Although it didn't secure the military contract, it has gained widespread use in global military, law enforcement, and civilian circles, earning a reputation for durability and reliability.
The P226R is a variant of the P226, with the 'R' indicating an accessory rail for mounting options like flashlights and laser sights. This model operates on a .357 SIG caliber, a higher-velocity round developed in 1994 by Sig Sauer to mimic the performance of 125-grain .357 Magnum loads. This makes the P226R a powerful firearm for both self-defense and target shooting.
Finished with a Nitron finish for added durability and corrosion resistance, the P226R comes with textured polymer grips and interchangeable backstraps for customization and comfort. It also includes a 3-Dot sight system with rear adjustable dovetail square notch and front adjustable dovetail blade for accurate targeting. The double action/single action (DA/SA) operation ensures smooth firing and control.
This firearm includes an owner's manual, an inspection hang tag, and Mil-Comm TW25B lube. It comes with two 12-round magazines, providing a capacity of 12+1 rounds. This is a firearm that promises to deliver power, performance, and a piece of history.
