SP01 to 226?

[tacticaldesire]

The P226 is a fantastic gun not without its drawbacks. I have time behind a W. German in 9mm and a Michigan State Police .40 cal DAK model. Although the high bore axis isn't my favorite I shoot both very well. That being said, if you weren't impressed the first time you shot it, I'd stick with the SP01 for now and explore the 226 at a later time. You could always rent one at a range and see if your opinions have changed in the meantime. The P226 and most sigs in general are very nice guns, but they seem to be one of those guns that you either love or hate. I will say that the D/A trigger of a sig better than most out of the box.

I have owned several SiG's and the only one I have left is a "NSW" serialized P226. It is spooky accurate and a pleasure to shoot, but it sits in my safe. My G19 has taken the EDC role along with my G43 for hot weather carry. The soon to be CZ P10c will be getting a good look when it comes out.

Keep the CZ...

Is there not a way you can order the CZ minus the magazines shiped from out of state to your local dealer?

That's not how it works in Cali....it's really messed up there.

I am keeping it. I almost scored a cz75 SA for $650. Those aren't easy to find

It actually does. It really depends on the website. But because the particular pistol is on the California roster, you can order it online to have it shipped to an ffl.

To add to that, most California ffls charge at least $60 just to transfer it to you when you order online. It's pretty nuts.

Good choice keeping it. The only P226 that I'd be interested in would be a pristine W German one.

Yes, keep the CZ. Over the last 20 plus years of owning, and shooting CZ's, I have sold all my Sigs as they just don't work as well for me. If you want to get rid onf a pistol with a rail, CZ makes all metal pistols that do not have a rail like the 75B, Shadow Target, PCR etc.

CA 226s do have a mag disconnect safety. Along with being on the "approved list", all CA pistols are required to have either a loaded chamber indicator (a peep-hole satisfies the rule, a la EMP), or a mag-disconnect safety so they don't fire without a mag in the well.

Goes without saying, but CA sucks.

Agreed. Not to get too off topic, but they also require micro stamping on firing pins now too. Which explains why no new guns can be added to the roster.

The only catch still is that all of the "safety" requirements to be approved for the roster apply to when the model was submitted. Once approved, the gun can be renewed over and over again as long as it remains unchanged. For example, Gen 3 Glock 19's (in black and made in Austria) are the same in CA as everywhere else, minus the standard cap mags.

Since Glock keeps renewing the Gen 3 models, they don't have to add additional "safety" features like the latest micro stamping firing pins. Many Sigs on the other hand, were submitted and approved when CA required the mag disconnect, LCI, and whatever else was mandated at the time.

That's why walking into a CA gun store looks like you're going back in time by x years when looking in the handgun counter. Our latest model HK is a P2000 if that says anything.

Keep both
