Kind of got the idea I want a 226 to try. Thought I would go the cpo route but no luck. Any pointers for a 226 9mm cpo? Or nice used. | ||

Keep an eye on the classifieds, gunbroker and armslist? Ive had one listed in the classifieds for 3 weeks that’s now SPF. Somebody’s about to get a smokin’ deal on a lightly used P226R. | |||

I recently picked up a practically new looking CPO 226 in my town off of Armslist. Best thing was the price. 350 with 2 quality holsters, ammo and extra grips. Deals are out there. __________________________ Anyone that can keep their head in this confusion, doesn't understand the situation. | |||

I would give Top Gun Supply a call. For some reason, I remember someone saying that they don’t always list CPO’s on their website. | |||

TGS has not stocked CPO's in years. They do get USED 226's from time to time. | |||

I didn't think Sig even had the CPO program any longer. <><><><><><><><><><><><><> "I drank what?" - Socrates | |||

CPO is still on their website. So, it's still going. Q | |||

9mm CPO’s are hard to come by in classic P series guns. 40’s and 357sig you can find all day. I would just look for a nice used 226 9mm. _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||

I have seen some nice ones for around $550-600 used in 9mm. I thought about buying a DAK or DAO and convert it to da/sa as they are usually found much cheaper but I also read that some models cannot be changed due to different frames, so that killed that idea. The P226 is a great pistol and can take a lot of abuse. The hardest part is getting one online without being able to see the frame rails/wear. If you look to get one online,ask the owner to send pics of the rails. I got a used P229 in .40 for less than $320.00 last year on gunbroker and it looked like new but most people don't care for the 40 round. | |||

I see Sig 226 pistols in 40 cal everywhere for $399 and Sig 229 pistols in 40. Sometimes they are less. I got a Sig 229 in 40 with 3 mags for $359.00 | |||

As odd as it may seem, I've always wanted a rail-less 9mm DAO P226. That is what the Dallas PD has carried for several years, I've lived in Dallas for 56 years.. I have a 1988 WG P226 safe queen that literally stays in the safe. Hasn't been shot in several years.   But I've always wanted a beater, shooter, or whatever, rail-less P226 with a DAO hammer. I prefer it to be WG if the price is right. I just don't care for rails or glorified versions of a basic P226. A rail-less Navy would even work, but I doubt that is in the budget.. I sold this Navy, after buying aluminum grips, because I couldn't adapt to the rail. I hate the rail, yes I have issues..   This thread has inspired me to buy a P series DAO hammer with strut pin on eBay today. Now searching, watching auctions, and even bidding on a WG P226 pistol on GB... | |||

Oh no, she is a keeper, although I do appreciate you selling it to me. I searched long and hard for a decent WG P226 with all the paperwork and proper box. I bet I haven't put more than 100 rounds thru her since I received the pistol. She sits in the safe next the 1991 WG P228 that my daughter gets whenever she gets married. They both sit in a rack in one of the safes inside a silicone sock.  But I'm on the search for a beater P226 I can put that DAO trigger in. I'll hit the range with that every trip. I used to love DAK Sigs before my Glock addition hit me. I always shot a DA/SA Sig more accurately on the first DA shot, than the following SA shots. Over the 24 years of handgun owning, I found I prefer a consistent trigger.. It is nice to finally be able to afford having a few safe queens.  | |||
