Next, just a side view. The only wear marks I could find after disassembling it were a couple on the guide rod from the spring riding it and a faint discoloration where the smilies normally form on the barrel.
The third picture shoes my second round of shooting. I fired 31 rounds total yesterday, 25 on a milk jug, 6 at re-filled pop cans. The can on the left was shot four times with FMJs, and the one on the right was shot with a Cor-Bon 125 gr. +P JHP @1250 FPS. The difference in damage was dramatic, to say the least.
This pistol is everything I was looking for. I immediately fell in love with the Sigs when I first handled one, and now I have a classic P22X of my own. The double-action trigger on this pistol has no stack and feels awesome. Once you get to the 10-lb peak pressure, it's like it pulls itself to the break. It has a few rough spots that will hopefully smooth out over time. It's not annoying enough that I'll have to work on it myself, as it does feel better than many double action revolvers as-is. The single action trigger could use a little smoothing in the first stage when it's engaging the firing pin safety, but the break is very clean. There is no creep, but the letoff has just a hair too much sear. This is compared to a target-grade glass-rod 1911, so that's just fine with me at the 80% mark!
I have larger paws, so I won't be looking for the short reach trigger. I may find new grip panels in the future, but those are spendy and these fit and feel well enough. A short reset trigger would be nice, but it will be a while before they're in stock on MidwayUSA. The sights are regulated how I like them on a 9mm, with a #8 rear and #6 front. I like to see my target impact point over my sights. POA/POI is preferred, with this one shooting with a 6-o'clock hold at 12-15 meters. I may go for night sights in the future, but these ball-and-dummy contrast sights work fine with a flashlight putting the front post in plain view.

Our Assessment: From Sig's website: 'The SIG SAUER P226 is the pistol that set the standard by which all other combat handguns are measured. The exceptional ergonomics and balance make this fullsize pistol easy to handle. Its longer barrel yields better ballistic performance and accuracy. The P226 MK25 is identical to the pistol carried by the U.S. Navy SEALs, the fleet's special warfare operators. The railed P226 chambered in 9mm and engraved with an anchor on the left side of the slide is the official sidearm of the SEALs.'
What's better than one MK25 Navy? Two! This pair have consecutive serial numbers, come in their factory cases with nearly everything they would brand new and are in Excellent condition with only minor operational wear. Please see our photos and good luck!
