About the SIG SAUER P226
SIG SAUER developed the P226 to compete in the U.S. Military’s XM9 service pistol trials. Even though it was not ultimately selected, the performance and capability of the P226 captured the attention of the elite U.S. Navy SEALs. They would officially adopt the P226 in 1989, and it would serve throughout the Global War on Terrorism as their official service pistol. The selection by the SEALs marks the beginning of a rich history between SIG SAUER and the U.S. military and the P226 became the cornerstone of several future successful partnerships including the M17, M18, and the Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) program. Today the legendary P226 has seen decades of refinements and is highly regarded for its enduring quality, superior reliability, and accuracy amongst law enforcement professionals, military units, collectors, and shooting enthusiasts.
