Yours would not be considered a Sport Stock (which specifically refers to the bull barrel and LPA sights), but it does have the same frame as the Sport Stock. Unlike the Sport Stock, yours was assembled here in the U.S. and its upper is standard P226 (no bull barrel and no LPA sights). I don't know how many Sport Stocks came into the U.S. but I think the model you have is actually rarer believe it or not.
The last P226 in the U.S. to use the Sport Stock frame was the P226 SL sold by Afton Arms in the early 2010s. It was the exact same configuration as your model but its slide was German too and it was assembled in Germany.
The P226 Sport also used this frame, but it had that old proprietary rail cut into it to accept the match weight.
Thanks for the info., MacGyver. I didn't realize the Sport Stock has a bull barrel. Anyone who owns an all German Sport Stock has something special.
