First time shooting P226

758 Views 12 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  CybrSlydr
Went to my local range as I hadn't been shooting in a long time. Decided to rent a 9mm and saw they had a 226!!! Even had the anchor on the left side of the slide. Lol

First target is 5yds, second is 10yds.

That is the best I've ever shot at 10yds - and I could have done even better, but I have a flat trigger on my 227 and the SRT.

The long reset really messed me up a couple times attempting double taps.

I think if I did have a 226 or 229 with the flat trigger and SRT, I could shoot the best I've ever shot. 236 was really nice too, shot really soft (9mm, amirite?).

I almost wish I'd brought my 227 Carry to compare side by side, but it was already $80 for 100rds, rental, and the range lane.

Ugh, same pic.

Here's the first target at 5m. The ones above are the 10yds.

Had one of my MK25s at the range yesterday. Completely stock except SRT. Put 150 rounds through her. Lights out! Love the P226.

Mk25 is my go-to nightstand gun. Shoots so soft and flat.

Looks like you need to get one now brother!

For some reason I've never been able to figure out, I shoot my MK25 better than any other P226 I've ever shot. I'll never get rid of that fine pistol.

And you know that anchor has a lot to do with it! Just kidding. The 226 has always been one of the finest Sigs. Mine was made in W. G. in 1992 and still runs like a champ

The extra weight of that anchor and QR code really keep the weapon balanced and reduces recoil 😉

Seeing how I shoot the 226 makes me wonder how well I'd shoot the USPs. Can't find anyone around who has one, especially for rental.

If I could only have one or the other, I'd rather have the MK25.

One ot the other? If I could one have one GUN I would choose the Mk25.
Looks like on Gunbroker and others. MK25 is about $1100-1200 or more.
