This Sig P226 S is at a LGS here on the coast, and I'm considering it hard.

I have no desire for a plastic Sig, based on the horrible experience I had with my one and only Sig pistol, which was a P250. It was so bad, I basically swore off anything that said "Sig" on the slide, but I've kind of always liked the steel frame guns.

Based on where I live, I dont' buy blued guns if at all possible, and stainless Sigs don't show up too often that I've seen.

I don't know anything (and can't find much online) about the "S" suffix. Anybody know what the P226 S has different from the standard P226?

Asking price is $749, but they may come down, and often will eat the tax if paying cash. Comes with hard case, and 2 mags. Does that seem fair?

Opinions? TIA

Everything I've found said a sport model then on the second page they are saying the sport was never imported to the US and it is actually a "That is an X-Five Allround. Its definitely an X-series gun based on the rear sight being pinned. "

If I were in a DA/SA mode I'd buy it.

There is some confusion as to what the S really means.

I just noticed, it's a .40 cal. If I could get the price down so I could reasonable convert it to 9mm, I'd do it. I'm not a .40 kind of guy. But, I do like SIG's and that satin nickel (stainless, electro-chrome, whatever) is pretty.

I have a Sig p226 Navy (blued not stainless, and also without the rail). I also have several 1911's, a Beretta 92F, a S&W Model 10, a S&W 910, and several other revolvers and automatics in both full and compact sizes, from .22 to .45. I think my p226 would be the last to go if for some unknown reason I'd have to divest myself of handguns. I say go for it.

you may be asking the wrong question! Try
Why shouldn’t I buy this sig?
Makes you look
Intellectual and objective, this is great cover with the boss lady. Lay it out there thick, come up with at least one, possibly two reasons you shouldn’t , just remember to have a better reason to buy it so it sounds like your really thinking it over on both sides.
Cause we all know it will be biased from the beginning .🥸
