Sig Sauer P226 West German Stamped Slide 9mm DA/SA Full-Size Pistol
This early West German P226 features the desirable stamped slide with dual roll-pin breech block, Ulm eagle/N proofs, and the classic SIG decocker layout. Lighter than later milled-slide variants, it delivers the crisp DA/SA trigger and proven reliability that helped the P226 compete in the U.S. XM9 trials. Collectors value these W. Germany-marked examples for their distinctive engineering and Cold-War-era provenance.

The stamped carbon-steel slide, finished in matte blue/phosphate, reduces reciprocating mass and shortens lock-time compared to later stainless slides. An external extractor and dual roll-pin breech block underscore the engineering unique to the West German production era.
The hard-anodized aluminum alloy frame retains the classic P-series control scheme: left-side decocker, reversible magazine catch, and rounded hammer. Black checkered polymer grips offer secure purchase without adding bulk.
Fixed 3-dot sights provide a clear sight picture, and the 4.4-inch barrel maximizes ballistic performance from 9mm Luger while keeping the pistol full-size yet well-balanced. The DA/SA trigger system allows a smooth first-shot double-action pull followed by light, crisp single-action breaks.
Eagle/N Ulm proofs and the “MADE IN W. GERMANY” roll mark confirm West German origin, placing this pistol in the sought-after 1980s–1990s production window prized by collectors and SIG enthusiasts alike.
