One of the most popular police guns is the Sig Sauer P226. Police Equipment Reviews only recently got introduced to Sig Sauer guns. We have been so use to shooting Glock pistols that we never deviated from them. All the time though, there was a little something in the back of our heads that said we should try to the Sig Sauer pistols. So many officers carry them that they must be good.
So we headed down to our local shooting range and was able to demo a Sig Sauer P226. The Sig P226 comes in three calibers; 9mm, .357, and 40 caliber. We shot the 40 caliber Sig Sauer P226. We fired about 150 rounds and enjoyed the gun. It fit great in our hands, fired nicely, and was accurate from 25 yards. One thing that we have always noticed about the Sig Sauer guns is that they are so beautiful. While a Glock in simple terms is a blah piece of plastic, the Sig Sauer guns look like they are ready for a model show. Some of them are two toned, some have custom wood grips, and even the basic gunmetal black ones look nice.
The Sig Sauer P226 that we shot woud be the equivelent of the Glock 22, a pistol that we carry daily. The Sig Sauer P226 is a great handgun and should be considered the next time you are looking for a new police handgun.
