Should I buy a new Sig P226?

Best pistols I own

I really dig that Tac Ops pistol. Don't own one. But I agree with the guy who bought the navy gun and added the SRT TRIGGER. Solid plan too.

I've been wanting to pick up a MK25. Have shot them on several occasions over the years and always been impressed. I don't think you can go wrong picking one up.

I had a standard P226R in 9mm a couple years ago and it ran great, stupidly traded it and have been wanting another ever since. I plan on getting a MK25 next down the line.

Buy it and you will never look back, its a great pistol.

This turned out to be a more positive view on them than I had expected. Glad to hear it.

Also, if my Sig experience is a favorable one, I might also consider adding the M11-A1 to my collection as well.

What's the deal with the mec gear 18 & 20 round magazines? Are they good to go in the P226?

The MK25 are good to go.

My department purchased 70 + SIGs in Novermber 2013. These were P220 and P226 (.40). All had the SRT trigger system. We had problems with the trigger bars and safety levers. SIG provided parts to "fix" the guns.

We ended up trading them in for Glocks.

Sig can make functional guns. They can also make total crap. I prefer my SIGS in 9mm. I also prefer to avoid the SRT system. I also prefer Glocks

In 2011 I bought a 226 Combat. 5,070 rounds later, zero failures, zero maintenance.

A few months later I bought a 229, 40. 2,400 rounds, zero failures, zero maintenance. This is my HD gun.

December, 2014 I bought a 226 SAO. 2,300 rounds and one three day training class later, zero failures, zero maintenance.

Now if they'd only make a 229 Combat SAO I'd be helpless to keep one away.

ETA - When I say maintenance I mean no parts breakages or anything. I do clean/lube the guns as required.

Yes! They are excellent mags, and better than the ones that come with the guns. Probably the 226's biggest downfalls, IMO. The OE mags aren't that great and only hold 15 (9mm). The 18 round MecGars fit flush, and 20s extend out some. And they're like $30.
