I was fortunate enough to land this from a longtime member yesterday. There was a little doubt in the air given the initial post but it turns out the seller is actually a WWII Veteran and very real. He says he does not recall ever firing this weapon and purchased it new.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas to everyone!!

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You lucky dog. I want.

Beautiful. Congratulations

That's one AWESOME p226!! Congrats!
Make sure you take good care of your benefactor, not many of the greatest generation left any more . It does sound like your looking out for his best interests, which is commendable, good on you.

Beautiful pistol. Congrats!

a nice addition.

Oh it is a fine pistol. I dont believe I could have owned that for so many years and not shoot it.

Oh that is sexy as HELL!

Schawiiiing!!!

If I had the means that deal is one that I would have been willing to roll the dice on and buy sight unseen.

Spectacular deal on a fantastic package and a sharp looking gun. That gun looks pristine! I mean we are talking white glove territory here.

So, the big question...do you plan on shooting it or leaving it in it's museum-like unfired condition?

...and thank you for taking the time to post the pics!

That is a beautiful pistol, glad it all worked out!

You know I really try to not chime in with the herd, but this is an exception.

Very nice pistol !

Enjoy & Merry Christmas

Cheers~

That thing is HOT!!! Congratulations!!!

That. Is. Gorgeous!!!

Exact words I came to post. Enjoy, OP!

I was looking at one locally and it was a decent price. Seeing those pics, it gives me a litter better idea of what to look for relative to "factory" vs. aftermarket.

You def scored a sweet deal.

Shiny!

Congratulations on your purchase. SIG Nickels are beautiful guns; you won’t have any regrets.
