These are essentially a standard center fire lower with a .22 kit on top from the factory, and I believe they were manufactured in the US. I’m not sure if any involved German made parts (frame) and assembled here or not but I don’t think so. Googling the platform and looking at images, they all appear to be of US manufacture by serial number and company stamp.

Purchased one several years ago. Fairly quickly I purchased the 9mm x-change kit then the .40 caliber kit.
As a .22 I’d occasionally have FTE. I’ve never experimented to find if different brands worked better. The pistol has the same grip and dimensions but not the weight of a 9mm or .40 kit.

My 226 .22 Classic was made in the US.
It works almost 100% with MiniMags.

I also added a 9MM upper kit and .357 kit and had Sig do its magic on the trigger.

In .22 it fired reliably but accuracy was so-so. I sent it back when I got the trigger work done and they changed the barrel and reset the sights.
It shoots great now in .22 and with the CF kits....is a potent SHTF self defense pistol around the home.

In .22, it's great for new shooters and casual target/plinking.

But as a straight .22....without using the CF kits, a Ruger or Buckmark .22 may be a better alternative.
