You did fine. It's a good gun to get started with.Hi, I'm new, and just purchased my first pistol.
And picking it up Wednesday. Did I do ok for my first gun? I'm not even sure what variant P226R is. .
My dad was in the 327th. '57-'59Very nice deal and being a CPO it has been well looked over and everything that needed to be replaced has been along with a 1 year warranty.
You chose wisely. at least with the CPO, you have a 1 year warranty, but chances are you won't need it. As already mentioned, make sure you clean and lube it up real good. Chances are good that it's already been "broken in", so you needn't worry about that... they may have installed new springs, but once again that shouldn't have any real effects.Hi, I'm new, and just purchased my first pistol.

And picking it up Wednesday. Did I do ok for my first gun? I'm not even sure what variant P226R is. I hope the local gun dealer doesn't try to switch it out on me if it's a great deal or something, lol. I'm kind of excited because I hear Sigs are a really good brand, so I guess we'll see. I will post a pic Wednesday when I get it. I have a concealed carry application in with the state, but don't have the card in the mail yet, so I guess I'll have to buy a case this week also.
Heck, sw has flights on the cheap into SAT.Thank you- nice old pic of the Alamo in your avatar. Went to see that one time. Went to college at Univ. of Houston.
Actually the Sig P226 did beat the Beretta but the Army went with the Beretta because the magazines and spare parts were cheaper.The 226 is the standard uniform pistol from SIG, and should have beaten Beretta in the 1980s.
Ah, thank you! There are a lot of acronyms in this gun business, so I'm asking about them as I go along, thanks.You did fine. It's a good gun to get started with.Hi, I'm new, and just purchased my first pistol.

To answer your question on what variant it is - the "R" stands for rail. The gun in the picture shows the rail on the frame.
Typical government, go with the cheapest spare parts instead of the best machine.Actually the Sig P226 did beat the Beretta but the Army went with the Beretta because the magazines and spare parts were cheaper.The 226 is the standard uniform pistol from SIG, and should have beaten Beretta in the 1980s.
The first to get the M9 were the Navy SEALs who run about 3000 rounds a week through their pistols in training and it didn't take long before slides start breaking prompting the navy to go out and buy some P226s.
The navy then asked Sig to make one with a pic rail and anti-corrosion coating and the P226 Navy MK25 was born![]()
