History

The P226 was designed for entry into the XM9 Service Pistol Trials, which were held by the US Army in 1984 on behalf of the US armed forces to find a replacement for the M1911A1. Only the Beretta 92F and the P226 satisfactorily completed the trials; however, Beretta was ultimately awarded the contract for the 92F due to it being cheaper. The Navy SEALs, however, chose to adopt the P226 for its increased durability and safety compared to the 92F (after firing 2-5000 rounds through the Beretta 92F the slides started cracking, resulting in a catastrophic failure which made the slide fly towards a SEAL, breaking his jaw).^{[citation needed]} The United States Army is the largest and oldest branch of the armed forces of the United States. ...

The original P226 was manufactured in West Germany, featured a mandrel-stamped steel slide, and was available in blued, nickel, and two-tone finishes. A mandrel (pronounced , and also spelled mandril; in American English also called an arbor) is either an object used to shape machined work; a tool component that grips or clamps materials to be machined; or a tool component that can be used to grip other moving tool components. ...

Manufacture

SIG firearms are manufactured both in Germany and in Exeter, New Hampshire. Although Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft is a Swiss company, Swiss law is highly restrictive when it comes to the export of firearms. Consequently, SIG entered into an agreement with German gun manufacturer (and eventual owner) J.P. Sauer & Sohn to facilitate an export market for their products. In 2000 the SIG Holding AG sold J.P. Sauer & Sohn GmbH to two German businessmen.^[1] The Brandname SIGSauer remained at the J.P. Sauer & Sohn GmbH.

Concerns

Though ergonomically sound, there were some minor concerns with the reliability of the pistol when using after-market grips.

Early versions fitted with after-market or replacement grip panels occasionally (albeit rarely) developed reliability issues because the inside of the grip panel put pressure on (and thereby interfered with) the firing mechanism. OEM and later quality replacement panels coupled with keeping the grip screws tight removed this issue. As with all defensive pistols, it is critically important to verify proper function with duty ammunition prior to using the pistol for duty or defense.

Variants

P226 Rail

The P226 Rail (or P226R) is the same as a P226, but it has a rail on the dustcover. The P226R's rail has a more rounded contour than the standard Picatinny rail and while most Picatinny-rail accessories will fit, not all will.

P226 Navy

Navy SEAL Teams started using the SIG P226 in the 1980s.

The first Naval Special Warfare-spec P226 pistols to be offered to the public were the NSW Commemoratives, issued in early 2004. The SIG P226-9-NAVY is a version of the SIG P226 that is produced to the exact specifications of the pistols supplied to Navy SEALs, including special phosphate corrosion-resistant finish on internal parts (no longer offered), contrast sights, and a slide engraved with an anchor to designate them as Naval Special Warfare pistols. SIGARMS raised $100,000 for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation through the sale of these NSW serialized pistols. The pistol bearing serial number NSW0001 was sold during a live auction on the nationally syndicated Laura Ingraham radio show for an additional $25,000.^[3] NAVSPECWARCOM logo. ...

P226 Blackwater

The SIG P226 Blackwater was developed to specifications of Blackwater USA. Features include bi-color night sights, distinctive engravings on the slide and wood grips, and five factory high-capacity magazines. The premium in price for the Blackwater 226 is generally seen as worth the well-finished wood grips and extra magazines. Blackwater USA is an international security contractor founded in 1997 by Erik Prince and Al Clark. ...

P226 ST

The SIG SAUER P226 ST is an all stainless version of the SIG P226 pistol. It has a blued barrel and the frame features a Picatinny rail. It is heavier than a standard P226 because the frame and slide are stainless steel. The stainless P226 in 9 mm is a popular pistol with competitors that compete in the sport of Practical Shooting.

P226R HSP

P226 X-Five

The SIG Sauer P226 X-Five is a competition variant of the P226 with a 5" slide and barrel, beavertail grip, and an adjustable rear target sight. Intended for IPSC competitive shooting, the X-Five is hand-fitted and assembled in Germany, and its resulting accuracy accordingly rivals the legendary SIG P210.

P228

P228

A compact version of the P226, the P228, is also respected worldwide and is currently in use with the US military (notably with the Army CID, Air Force OSI, and Naval Aviation), designated the M11 and is also the standard issue handgun of the Swedish Police. It is also used by many police agencies around the world, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).The P228 has a shorter slide and barrel than the P226. Unlike the P226, the P228 is available only in 9x19mm Parabellum with a 13 round magazine, but can also use P226 15 round magazines. The P229 is nearly identical to the P228, but it has a one piece solid steel (vs. the P228's carbon stamped steel) slide and is available in 9 mm, .40 S&W, and .357 SIG. From a distance, the P228 can be differentiated from the P226 by comparing the trigger guards (the P228's is curved, while the P226's is slightly hooked) and the barrel and slide lengths (the P228's barrel is 12.7 mm shorter, thus having a corresponding shorter slide). Also in a side by side comparison the P228 would appear slightly shorter (2.5 mm shorter) than the P226. The larger capacity P226 magazine can also be employed in the P228 although it extends from the base of the grip. It is also available in the 'Ladies Escort' version with an adapted trigger for women with extra small hands. Manufacture of the P228 was discontinued with the introduction of 9mm chambering in the P229.

The P229 is a compact firearm, often used for concealed carry purposes. The standard version features a DA/SA trigger, but it is also available with a DAO trigger.

Recently, the pistol has also been made available in a DAK (Double Action Kellerman) model, which is a DAO system with two trigger reset points, and a lighter, smoother pull than that of traditional DAO handguns.

The P229 differs from its cousin the P226 in several respects, and was originally introduced to supplement and then replace the P228 by adding the .357 Sig and .40 S&W as available chamberings. The P229 was the first production handgun introduced that could chamber the .357 Sig round. The P226 and P228 were originally manufactured using a stamped-steel slide on an aluminum alloy frame. The P229 consists of a milled stainless steel slide, typically colored black with a Nitron finish. The P229's milled steel slide was introduced to handle the higher chamber pressure of the .357 Sig and .40 S&W loads, which the stamped slide of the P228 could not handle. The slide on the P226 was redesigned in a similar fashion, and the P228 was discontinued once the P229 became available in 9mm chambering. The P226 and P229 are both available with optional accessory rails and optional forged stainless steel frames.

The P229 can be chambered in 9 mm, .40 S&W or .357 SIG. Changing between .40 S&W and .357 SIG is as simple as switching out the barrel. Conversion barrels, from companies such as Bar-Sto Precision Machine^[4], also allow a P229 or P226 to change between a .40 S&W/.357 SIG to a 9 mm caliber. The magazine can accommodate ammunition of either caliber. The 9 mm model cannot be converted to another caliber.

P229 DAK

SIG recently released an improved version of the double-action only (DAO) pistols; this version is called the DAK (for Double Action Kellerman, after the designer of the system). When firing the pistol the first trigger pull is only 6.5 lbf (compared to 10 pounds for the standard DAO). After the pistol fires and the trigger is released forward the trigger has an intermediate reset point that is approximately halfway to the trigger at rest position. The trigger pull from this intermediate reset point is 8.5 lbf. If the trigger is released all the way forward, this will engage the primary trigger reset and have a trigger pull of 6.5 lbf. To engage the intermediate reset the trigger must be held to the rear while the slide is cycled, either manually or by the recoil of a round being fired. The United States Coast Guard has adopted this firearm as its PDW (Personal Defense Weapon), replacing the older M9 pistol^[5]. The pound-force is a non-SI unit of force or weight (properly abbreviated lbf or lbf). The pound-force is equal to a mass of one pound multiplied by the standard acceleration due to gravity on Earth (which is defined as exactly 9. ...
