Personally I'm sold on the p226, I currently own Sig p239, 2- p226's, p232 and Sig 556 rifle. I have the p226 in 9mm and my favorite a .40 S&W with the .357 Sig drop in barrel, like having another Sig for $165. The p226 works flawlessly, never ever a single malfunction, I bought my .40 in 2000 and have run at least 100 rounds thru it every month since, mostly .40 but have shot the .357 quite a bit also. It is worth the added cost to purchase the tritium nite sights. I have just started shooting the 9mm more lately due to the increased cost of .40 cal ammo. About the only bad thing I could say about the p226 " The dang things sure are expensive ", worth every dime.
It should be obvious that I have never used Sig's customer service.
Mexican Bandit: "Customer service"? "We don't need no stinking customer service".
