The SIG P226 is a full-sized, service-type pistol made by SIG Sauer, a Swiss-German firearms manufacturer and exporter.
It was designed for entry into the XM9 Service Pistol Trials, which were held by the United States Army in 1984 to find a suitable replacement for the aged Colt M1911.
It is chambered for the 9mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, .357 SIG, and .22 Long Rifle cartridges. It uses the same basic design of the SIG P220, but was developed to use higher capacity, staggered-column magazines in place of the single-column magazines of the P220. The SIG Sauer P226 and its variants are in service with numerous law enforcement and military organizations worldwide.
A variant, the P226 Navy, now serves as the official sidearm of the elite U.S. Navy Seals. The P226 is a firearm that fits large hands and performs well in competitions.

Tried to upvote, it's not registering.
(finally working, post did not work earlier either!)
So the 226 is the same frame size as the 220? I'd love to have a 220 double stack 10mm, and it is definitely worth the monie$ :D I currently have no Sigs, but it's definitely in the cards. Sig is perhaps the #1 gun maker in terms of quality and price, being in the higher end of what I call "affordable".
{note: A Double Stack P220 is not made by Sig Sauer} :-(

Great Video, Darth! The "lack of recoil" is due to the weight of the gun, and Sig's careful tuning. I'm not afraid of a heavy handgun, the only drawback is for concealed carry. That thing (P226) would ROCK in 357 Sig! :D

I have a P226r in .357 sig. I really like it except the trigger isn’t that great. I’m going to get Sig’s SRT and see if that helps.
