SIG Sauer 40th Anniversary P226

SIG Sauer is releasing a special 40th anniversary edition of its classic 9mm P226 TDA (traditional double action) semi-automatic pistol. Arguably a “retro” piece in 2024, this special edition SIG Sauer P226 is sold in the original configuration that shooters would have used in the mid-1980s, when the P226 originally made its original debut as a “wonder nine” with guns imported from West Germany. History buffs will appreciate this special edition handgun, because SIG Sauer set it up identically to the SIG military trials guns that competed against the Beretta 92F during the US Army’s XM9 trials in the mid-1980s. In the spirit of its decades-long legacy, this 40th Anniversary edition SIG Sauer P226 ships with Hogue Alloy Recreation grips. original style 15-round magazines with flat floor plates, original style packaging, a replica classic SIG Sauer P226 user manual and a limited-edition History Of The 226 booklet.
