Sig P226 9mm back from SSP – sight question
Hey All-

I just got my 9mm P226 back from Sig after having the SSP package (clean, replace springs/small parts, and new night sights) done on it. The only notes on the sheet were that they test fired it with Speer Lawman 124gr TMJ and it worked. It did come back with brand new grips and grip screws as well which was nice.

However, the new front sight is marked #6 and the new rear is #8. Is that right? My understanding is that both sights should be #8’s for a 9mm.

I haven't had a chance to test fire it yet, so maybe all is good. But, I still thought I'd ask here.

Thank you. Are new P226's coming with the 6/8 sight configuration rather than the 8/8 I sent the pistol in with?

OP, which parts did they swap out and did they return the originals? Thanks.

They very well may have made a mistake, but go shoot it before you get too worried about it.

It may be just fine.

If you are a seven yard shooter the difference on paper will be about a half inch.

I'm not sure. Obviously the sights and the grips/grip screws. No other parts were returned. It was just the pistol, mags and case that I sent to Sig.

Oddly, the pistol still had the original grip tape that I had put on it as well as traces of the white lithium grease that I used in the internals - so I'm guessing they didn't do anything with the frame.

EDIT: I called Sig and they said they "air-cleaned" the frame since it wasn't too dirty. Also, they said that all new 9mm 226's come with 6/8 sights.

Thanks. I think this is the way I'm going. I'm not too worried about it - it just struck me as odd. Hopefully, I can get to the range this weekend.
