Finally bought a gun I've been eyeing for a year and it comes in Tuesday. Anyone have pic related? What's the deal with holsters? I hear it's not quite the P229 or P228 so what works?

Hey P226 legion bro
>>29316626
Thinking about getting my first P226. Is there a particular model I should get?
>>29316693
L E G I O N
E
G
I
O
N
Or the MK25
>>29316693
>>29316705
But there's also nothing wrong with vanilla either
I got one, I only have 1 iwb holster for it, but it's meant for a 228 and it fits just fine.
>>29316715
What's the vanilla model called?
>>29316748
I think it's just the P226 Nitron.
>>29316626
I have a galco kingtuck and it fits my m11a1 perfectly
>>29316626
Stealthgearusa makes a good IWB holster as well.
Factory green mags too.
Why does sig make gorgeous fucking guns? Like damn, they've just got a certain style to them!
Hopefully buying an SP2022 next month. Can't wait, I'm so excited
Love me some sig.
>>29318305
>SP2022
Top kek that doesn't qualify as owning a Sig
>>29318326
>>29318340
>>29318337
An SP2022 counts, a P250 however is pushing it.
>>29318352
>>29318337
I mean its made by sig. It's shit tier, but its still a tier
>>29318396
Honestly they aren't even shit tier. They are actually pretty good guns, the only downside is they are somewhat bulky and mags are expensive.
>>29318467
I figured the polymer frame would make it shit tier. Good to know. I don't mind bulkiness, since it won't be a carry gun, the mags though I'm going to have to find
>>29318473
Na polymer does not automatically make something shit tier.
See pic related:
>>29318580
true that. Really wanted a 229 but too expensive for me
>>29316626
going to be buying a P238 HD or HD nickel tomorrow, going to be my carry gun, cant wait, had my heart set on something else but wanted something i could shoot for fun
>>29318594
Honestly in that price range I would prefer a CZ P07, but this is a Sig thread ;^)
The SP2022 is a bit unloved, but it is a solid platform. Just be aware it only comes with a single mag, and you will be about the cost of some higher priced options (FNX9, CZ P07), after you get mags for it.
Anybody have a P320? Wanted to get one for the Sig glory, but don't know how well it holds up. It's between that and a glock if that helps at all...
>>29318607
fuuuck don't make me second guess myself. My big reason I want to get the SP2022 is because my LGS has a FDE one in 9mm for 430 bucks new. And I can physically look at it and hold it and make sure its good.
>>29318629
Trigger is better than a Glocks, but not as good as a PPQ. Reliable, well built, and shoots good. Buy one.
>>29316626
I'm not yet 21 an am hoping my father will gift me either a sig p225mk25 or a m11-a1. Which one should I hint towards?
thinking of getting a p226 as my first gun.
Whats the average price range for one?
I live in florida
is it possible to cc it?
>>29318663
Neither, get a real P228, or a legacy slide P229.
>>29318685
Over a thousand unless you can find the used police ones that were available a year ago.
>>29318685
http://southernshootersgunsandgear.com/
Had them for 850 a couple months ago. Doesn't appear to be there anymore.
>>29316626
Nice I kinda want one to match my MK25
>>29318635
I own one, they aren't bad but by the time you get 5 mags for it (my personal minimum amount of mags I like to have for a handgun) you could have bought a basic model P226.
I've got an SP2022 currently, and I love it. It's got a pretty good trigger, and it's fun to shoot. Plus it was 499, which in AK isn't bad.
Now, I'm looking at buying a P220 in 10mm. Probably the stainless with rosewood grips. Have you guys heard anything particularly negative about these guns?
>>29318629
Solid weapon built pretty well. Trigger is better than good, can't say more because I only have 200 through it so i don't know if the trigger cleans up a bit or not.
>>29318685
Used ones at Gander Mountain go for $650 on up.
>>29318326
I want one of these so bad
>>29318685
can be as high as 1000 to as low as 700, depending on the wear, location and if you get a good deal. Ive cc one and it was terrible but not that great either. its a full sized, heavy duty gun. trying to conceal it is tough and the weight and size get in the way more often then not
try to find a 228 or 229 if you want to cc. a p226 is better as an OC or duty weapon
>>29316626
shoulda got the 320 bro rogan
>>29318372
Did you have this refinished?
>>29318920
just got mine the other day. i figured ill start with sig lite and if i like them ill get a more expensive one. dropping 1100 bucks on a pistol that ive never shot before seemed extreme to me even though i can afford it.
was it just mine or did all your guys sigs come soaked in oil? ive never bought a gun that came in a bag inside the box. i was finger fucking this dudes m11a1 and his was oozing oil as well.
>>29322147
Yeah you need to give them a good wipe with q tips and a towel to get all the excess oil out. My 226 practically had a waterfall going around the decock
>>29322003
>fde
That looks a lot nicer than I imagined it to be.
I've been eyeing the 226, for a while now, but at roughly that price I can swing an HK P30 or maybe a USP.
Which would be the better buy? I fired both at my range that rents them out and shot basically the same. They were cheating a bit with the Sig, though as it wasn't the vanilla model, so it had some upgrades to the trigger.
>>29316626
Rented a legion, immediately traded all my Glocks in to buy one.
>>29322265
>or maybe a USP
are you looking at used? usp's generally run slightly cheaper then used p226's.
personally, i'd go with the sig and plan to buy the usp later. but you're right about the trigger, at least plan for a srt in the sig which is another 50 bucks, but the best 50 bucks you can spend on a single up grade.
>>29322265
Youre in a SiG thread. Everyone here is delusional.
That being said, Get the USP45T 'LE package'. Comes with 3 mags and night sights for like $30 more.
If you want a USP in 9mm.... kill yourself. you are purposely gimping yourself on capacity. Glock > Sig all day when it comes to 9mm's
Best 9mm's:
G17
Walther P99
G19
Sig P229 SAS gen 2 with E2 grips or USP9C w/hogue
>>29318372
Just put money down on one of these from 1983, tell me I didn't fuck up
Could anyone identify this variant of P229? My curiosity is mainly about the slide and extractor.
>>29322304
>>29322358
Here is why I traded my guns in on the sig after renting one.
To all the poorfags, get a 2022 they are solid guns, got mine for 400 bucks, bought a extra mag and a button holster.
Dont let the other cucks fool you, they are still great guns.
>>29318629
I have one and love it.
My p226 Elite Dark
>>29318685
I got a used service p226 that was on consignment from my local range for 500
>>29322435
First range trip with my sigs.
Still not used to that 938 SAO trigger break. It's perfect for defense I'm sure but it's kind of hard for slow bulls eyes at the range.
What really impresses me is the short reset on the legion. That group labeled "semi rapid " was shot pretty fast.
Is there any real reason to get the SAO version aside from manual safety?
>>29322881
The trigger is amazing if you don't mind the safety.
What about SIG P75. What to look for when buying army surplus piece. I got good offer and want to jump on the Sig train.
>>29322317
As long as its in good shape I'm OK with used.
>>29322358
>muh stoppan powah.
It's "current year" anon. Ballistic tests have proven there is little difference between the common calibers as long as you use the right loads.
Also I already have a Glock. I don't want another one right now.
Would /k/ recommend a sig as a first gun?
P229 is the one I have my eye on but a friend of mine keeps telling me to get a glock as a first gun.
Once I buy a gun it'll be sometime till I buy another.
>>29318289
Deer God that is gorgeous
>>29323652
Get the Sig. I love my 229. If for your first handgun you don't want to spend so much, consider the SP2022
>>29323652
Try both, and try a p320 as well because it's more comparable to a glock than a p229 is. Sigs are really nice, but if you don't want the high price tag of the DA/SA, the p320 is ~$530 and you can change out the entire frame for a different size.
Recently purchased a mk25 and had some chambering issues with Hornady critical defense. Left is what it looked like after it failed to chamber. Is this an ammo issue or is there something wrong with my sig? Also is the left still safe to fire?
>>29323721
I don't know what the issue is, but the left round is definitely not safe to shoot. Bullet setback can lead to extreme spikes in pressure which can be catastrophic.
>>29316626
>>29316626
W. German P226 reportin in. Best handgun I ever had.
>>29322073
I did the Cerakote myself. I had two other P225's and purchased the P6 for cheap (like $300 with 3 magazines and a nice holster if I remember correctly), the only issue being the finish was nearly gone. So I decided to do a Cerakote job, turned out decent, I changed out the hammer spring to a P225 weight, and changed the rest of the springs out to freshen it up, added the Trijicon NS, and hogue grips. I've been carrying it (with the factory grips) for 3 years and it still looks good.
>>29322399
You didn't fuck up! They are awesome, mags can be pricey, and you will want to add a P225 main spring to lighten the DA pull as factory P6 is like 20lbs.
Good guns though, buy some white lithium grease for the rails, and you should be g2g. Just be aware that some of these guns do not like feeding jhp ammo, mine is ok (but I did polish the chamber and feed ramp), but some will not feed.
Bastard sig reporting
>>29324084
Holy shit that's clean
>>29323721
They are hanging up on the feed ramp because of the shitty polymer plug. My P229 will not feed it either, it has never hung up on anything else, so I am chalking it up to the plug as that is the only difference.
And the round on the left is definitely not safe to fire, setback can cause your gun to explode.
Has anyone bought the sig 227? Eyeing it and can't decide if I want it.
>>29324137
Friend of mine has one. It's just as nice as other sigs.
>>29324152
I actually owned one for a bit and while nice I do not think it feels as nice as some of my other Sigs, I can't really put a finger on it, but it feels a bit unbalanced.
>>29324174
I can see that. It did feel unbalanced, but by no means "bad."
>>29324226
It is still a quality firearm and like you said, by no means bad, but I think there are better choices for a doublestack .45
>>29323686
Rare fudd Sig
Is the mk25 barrel supposed to be this scratched up brand new out of box?
>>29323652
The Sig is more fun to shoot, has gentler recoil, a much nicer trigger, and is just the mo betta gun in general. Unless money is an issue, go with the Sig, especially if you know you won't buy another pistol anytime soon.
>>29325319
Nope, did you buy a display model lol?
Fuck a glock they have funny grips sigs are the way to go James Bond will tell you
I'm not a huge glock fan except the 26. Fantastic carry piece
>>29325732
No they got it out the back for me. Will this affect the guns performance at all?
>>29318372
Sup P6/225/HK USP anon. Still jelly of the your P225 and the work you did on the P6. And Im still searching for my P225/P6. One day, anon. One day.
>>29316626
I know the mk25 is worth the upgrade. Is the legion though?
I want a 226 before the election insanity sets in, but I can only budget for one. Should I forgo the legion and just buy spare mags and ammo with the savings??
>>29322400
It's an early P229R, its a short extractor with the legacy slide, if it was in 9mm you'd have the perfect P229 IMO.
>>29326083
Sup anon, hope you find one soon, keep your eyes open.
>>29326062
No
>>29325319
>>29325732
I think sig tests shoots their higher end models quite a bit. I just bought a sig 229 at a higher trim level and it came dirty. They had a stack of new boxes, all new stickers paperwork, everything obviously brand new and the gun ended up having a lot of powder residue in it, about a magazine or more worth when I got it home. For a second I thought maybe it was used but no way was it, brand new shop, brand new guns, all new case, clean, sticker, pamphlets etc.. in the case all new.
To be honest the gun runs a little dirty but it shoots really really nicely. If it were a woman, I guess it'd be perfect.
Is the SRT on a 229 worth the 50 dollar price tag? i'm interested in buying one and installing it but it seems rather difficult since i'm new sigs.
>>29327693
>Is the SRT on a 229 worth the 50 dollar price tag?
Yes, the reset is in fact very short and it lets you shoot quickly with great accuracy. Worth $50? It's a no brainer dude.
anyone know a good thin replacement grip for the 226? I have small babby hand so i have trouble reaching the mag release sometimes with the stock 2piece.
>>29327543
My MK-25 was nice and clean. I don't know what kind of shops y'all are shopping at.
Side note, P226 has a sexy as fuck wear pattern on barrels. pic related was when I replaced the factory barrel after about 1000 rounds or so.
>>29328670
Sig literally makes grips for babby hands for the 226 line called E2 grips.
>>29318886
rust on the decocker
>>29324137
The P227 is a fucking joke, get a P220 if you want a .45.
>>29327693
>but it seems rather difficult since i'm new sigs.
I have an ass hemmoraging time putting back sigs together and I fucking hate doing it but replacing the sear assembly is extremely easy.
>mfw trying to fiddle and put back the trigger bar spring/trigger back in the gun
>mfw trying to reinstall the mainspring on an old German P226
>sigs
get a glock
>>29331822
How convincing. Brb selling muh sigs.
>>29322422
i also keep tactical coins next to my sig. shit really stings when you throw a three quarters and a nickel at your attacker.
>>29330914
I was having trouble putting the recoil spring back in my 938.
Discovered that sticking a 3/16th Allen wrench through the front of the slide and skipping the spring over it so that it acts as a guide is all that was needed.
>>29331944
I may have no clue what a challenge coin is but you sound mad you didn't get the upgraded version.
>>29331822
see
>>29322435
Glocks a great value though.
>>29332034
Don't know why I posted that, you don't seem angry. I was projecting. Please forgive me, maybe you are cool guy, idk.
MK25
>>29324084
Polymer Sig bro here
>>29333541
Do you actually prefer lefthand twist or did you just get the threaded barrel model?
>>29322358
>comparing G17 or P99 to a Sig
Nigga please. I own the Glock 17 and I've shot the Walther...these guns are nowhere near a P226.
>>29336237
Your right
Glocks dont rust
>>29318699
I have that EXACT same setup.
>>29318337
Fuck off, poor-shaming cunt.
>>29336257
Fuckin' got 'em, bro.
>>29332034
challenge coins are for tossing up in the air and trying to shoot it before it hits the ground
>>29336450
You ARE in a Sig thread bruh
What are the legion triggers like compared to 1911s?
>>29322435
>Here is why I traded my guns
because you dont know how to shoot striker-fired?
>>29323652
Get a G19 or G22. If you do decide on a P229, get a pre-2006 one, and put on some E2 grips.
If you are getting solely for 9mm, try and get a P228.
>>29325319
>>29327543
>I think sig tests shoots their higher end models quite a bit.
probably a remanufactured/factory refurb pre-owned...you do know sig does that, right???
>>29330897
>babby hands detected
>>29337249
You know how I can tell you're a shit posting moron?
>>29337286
because I dont agree with your delusions about Sig being best at anything except being overpriced?
>>29324068
thanks for the heads up, I never thought that it'd have a heavier spring due to being police issue, but that makes a lot of sense. As soon as I get it paid for I'll post it up.
does a p226 feel sexy like a cz?
>>29326147
Bump for interest.
How about it Sigbros?
>>29339025
a p226 with the short reset trigger feels like a CZ with a trigger job from cajun gun works.
>>29336257
Again, nigga please. If your guns are rusting then you're the fucking problem.
>>29339025
If a CZ is a $20 massage, a Sig is a $40 massage with a happy ending.
You get what you pay for.
>>29333821
That light looks familiar, fimfam
>>29333821
>>29339551
How're the TLR-4's? Did you pick R/G?
P320 reporting in.
I really like it thus far. Smooth as fuck trigger and reset. Shoots very nicely. Really no complaints.
>>29337667
No problemo man, the spring is easy to change to change. I have a 4th one that I haven't snapped pics of yet, but its a Montage Suisse, heel release, Swiss assembled P225. I'll snap some pics when I have a minute. You made a great choice.
>>29337667
Oh, and one last thing I forgot to mention. I would recommend getting a new recoil spring first thing as well, with the P6's, some were shot a lot, some not so much, but the spring is like $8.
>>29339581
I'm not the anon you asked, but I have a TLR1-HL and a TLR-3, the TLR-1 is better in every way.
>>29316626
I need some new grips. I hate these hogue monstrosities
>>29318685
bought mine for $550 on gunbroker
>>29339654
>>29339697
She looks well-loved, do you know what its role in its past life was?
>>29339742
Nope, but based on the wear, I'd say it was someone's carry piece
>>29336261
hell ya, post it!
my p220 and my cheap walmart light
>>29340286
That definitely looks like a cheap walmart light. How's it holding up?
>>29340351
Meh, for 20 bucks its really not too bad. I just didnt feel like dropping 100 bucks on on a TLR right after I just bought a gun. Probably will pick up a TLR1 or something soon though. Its a light though, its shined every time I flip the switch and its pretty bright so I cant really complain.
>>29340376
I have one of those lights. Different company, but exact same appearance. It held up on my 2022, my AR that I slapped it on for giggles, and my glock 20. For a 25 dollar light, I really can't complain.
>>29340485
yeah, they arent bad. I just hate the way it looks. I like the look of the TLR-1's. Something about them are just sexy when mounted on a gun. I think its because they are round.
>>29340511
TLR is b0ss status. I'd go with the HL as it makes a big difference.
>>29340561
Damn USPs' proprietary rail.
>>29316705
What he says. Legion totally rocks. It was the gun that actually taught me what the proper trigger break and reset are, and all other guns I own have suddenly started having ugly gritty triggers after that.
>>29340626
GG&G makes the pain go away anon.
Mk-25 vs legion, which ones better?
