Recently purchased P226

Just picked up a P226 from the cabelas gun library. Little bit of an impulse buy but I wanted one and although this one has much wear I figured it could be a project.

I sent a request for date of manufacture etc but it predates 2005 and there records don’t go back that far. German frame with a stainless slide (357sig) I’m guessing it’s not the original slide but I figured I would ask the gurus on here that know more then me. So my question is if you guys think this is a different slide then what came originally on the frame?

So this is going to probably be of little to no help to you, but I thought I would share just in case. I bought a P229 that looked identical to your P226 except mine also had silver controls. Stainless slide marked USA, and the frame made in Germany. I bought that one in 2002 I believe.

flip the gun so the grip base is facing you. Now look at the dust cover on the frame. There should be some markings if it’s an older Sig. Take a clear picture of the markings.

Honestly, I’m thinking that the take down lever was likely replaced from the original style.

I have one similar to yours with serial number starting with U. I put an OD green grips on it and it's my favorite ... vacillating between MK25. :teetertotter:
