The pistol is also a double-column magazine design. After the first shot, the recoiling slide cocks the hammer for subsequent single-action fire with a short single-action press of the trigger. As such, the finger comes down in an arc off the frame to press the trigger to the rear. The SIG P226 is a double-action first shot semi automatic pistol. Arguably, the P226 pistol is among the most successful service pistols of all time. The Navy SEALs and many other organizations have used it. Army trials, and many believe SIG came in second only on the low bid. The P226 equaled the Beretta 92 for reliability in U.S. The P220 9mm spun off the P226, a high-capacity variant of the P220, P225, P228, P229 and others. The P220 featured a long but smooth double-action trigger, a handy decocker to make the pistol safe without touching the hammer and a positive firing-pin block. A manual safety was not desirable, although safety features were.
The pistol also had to be simple to operate. A police trail was undertaken to choose a handgun chambered in 9mm Luger with excellent reliability, good human engineering, and sufficient accuracy for hostage rescue use. Most German police were armed with Walther PPK handguns. The P-series pistols were developed to combat terrorists during the first wave of terrorism in Europe.
The Ohio State Patrol handgun test program fired some 228,000 rounds more than a decade ago, and the SIG P226 was the most reliable handgun tested. Based on imperative testing programs, SIG’s P-series handguns are the most reliable in the world. Superior accuracy is welcome, but it takes a trained shooter to manage this from a solid benchrest position.Ī positive demonstration by the scientific method defeats opinion and hyperbole. Service-grade accuracy is generally considered the ability to place five shots into a 4-inch group at 25 yards. The service-grade handgun must fit the majority of hands and work well for most shooters. Handling and ergonomics are important criteria. A baseline of power begins with the 9mm Luger cartridge. Reliability is the most important factor to be considered. There are certain baselines useful in making a credible choice. Some choose the pistol based on appearance others seek a plenum of truth and search for answers as to pedigree, performance, and reliability. When choosing a handgun, some draft or resolution that is approved by a committee of one should be followed.
