Just got last week two new SIG Sauer pistols, a P320-M17 & a P226 E2. On the way to me this week is the P226 Mk 25. I haven't got to shoot these guys just yet; I am waiting for the other to arrive first. ![](https://i.imgur.com/WwGmsww.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/EScgkOa.jpg)

nice little family group there
My SIGs are a 210, 220 and 230, so I guess I need a 240 and a 250 to keep the sequence going

I wish they hadn't discontinued the 230. That was the smoothest shooting pistol I've held apart from the HK P7M8.

I thought the 232 was supposed to be an "improvement" on the 230? The original owner of my 230 kept it in the box for something like 30 years and never fired or oiled it, so a little pitting at the end of the slide. Required several boxes of .380 to find something it liked.
I prefer the Czech vz82 / CZ83 over the SIG.

Sadly, the 232s are also discontinued.

Picked up the P226 Mk25 today, just something about the P226 that just feels right in my hands, I ended up selling almost all of my 1911's, only have a SA 1911 commander left. ![](https://i.imgur.com/4R52apn.jpg)

The Sig P226 is so cool looking. An attractive pistol in an unusual way, very OG cyberpunk-esq.

Another SIG arrived, this time I found a nice used but in execellent condition p229 in 9mm, came with nice paddle holster and (3) 13 round magazines. Which is interesting as the current models are all 15 round magazines and with the research I did it also should accept the 15 round magazines as well. ![](https://i.imgur.com/7zQpqGW.jpg)

I like the fact they don't have the pinned breech block since making in the USA. Had a neighbor with a W. German 226, his breech block was loose from a bad batch of reloads...it was beating the top of the hammer. Needed 2 special pins and special gunsmith tools to fix.
230 never impressed me compared to a German made Walther PP/PPKs, could have bought one used the lands and grooves looked shallow and cheap, got a 60's Manurhin instead ( they made the pp/ppk for Walther until about 1976).

Some good pair you have on there, Eric! May these serve you well.
My experience with SIG's has always been very positive. Most recently I shot a P365X, which is to say a perfect carry gun IMO. It behaves almost as a full size pistol in hand while shooting, yet it is very slim and relatively concealable.
