Sig Sauer P226 9mm West German, Tysons Corner Import, Stamped-Slide, 4.4 in Barrel, DA/SA, 15+1
Made in West Germany during the 1985–1987 period, this Sig Sauer P226 is an early Tysons Corner, VA import with hallmark West German features. It uses the original stamped slide with a pinned breech block and dual nested roll pins, and it carries German proof marks with a two-letter date code that is not legible.

This West German–made P226 reflects the early import era marked by SIGARMS Inc., Tysons Corner–VA. Production details from 1985–1987 are evident, including German proof marks and the non-railed dust cover. Matching serial numbers on the slide and frame add coherence to the pistol’s period-correct configuration.
The stamped slide features a pinned breech block with dual nested roll pins, a defining early P226 construction approach. Rear vertical serrations provide a confident grasp, and the fixed 3-dot sight system includes a single front dot with a two-dot rear.
The pistol is a full-size, DA/SA, hammer-fired design with a decocker, operating on a recoil-operated, locked-breech system. It uses a push-button magazine release and a spurred hammer, pairing classic controls with the P226’s proven operating layout.
The aluminum alloy frame keeps weight down while maintaining durability. The 4.4 in barrel and 15+1 capacity suit service-oriented use, and the black checkered polymer grip panels provide a secure hold without adding bulk.
