Shot my new-to-me Sig 226 9mm today.

Just 100 rnds WWB. Only had one factory 15rds mag... the Mec-Gars haven't arrived yet. No FT-anythings, and the gun is a real tack-driver and fun to shoot. I plan to try and get about 500 rounds thru next weekend. I'll post a more in-depth report then.

On a related note, my wife went shooting for the first time ever today. She shot 2 mags from the 226 just for fun. I can say in all honesty that all the rounds went generally South... but we could have saved money on a target. :wink: No matter, she'll certainly get better with experience. The important thing is she wants go again next weekend.

She wants to shoot my Speed Six, so we'll take a few boxes of .38 wadcutters and the 500 9mm and see how it goes.

Sounds like a fun time

My 226's are for me the 2 most accurate and consistant in matching trigger pulls than any other pair of pistols I've owned.

Barrel to slide lock up is very tight as well.


I don't know if you ever have done so but you may want to try some long range shooting with your Sig. It's not all that hard to get 50yd hits on a IPSC type silhouette target.
:banana:

As soon as I win the Sig 226 I'll let you know how I do with it.

Most new shooters tend to jerk the trigger...... Work on her trigger control and the improvement will come.

The only "warning" I can think of for a 226 is a friend of mine said he had problems with hydrashock (sp?) ammo........ The only thing that ever gave him any problems.

Good to know Robb - but also pretty much what I would hope for and expect.

For me the SIG's are pretty much the most enjoyable semi's to shoot and the 226 in particular. Keep up the ''wife training'' - bet it will not be long before she is well on the paper. Get her to do some dry fire practice and include some ball & dummy too - that'll straighten how out pretty quick.

A Sig 226 is a shooter!

Thanks Tank

Nice little thread.
Look forward to getting those MecGar mags.
Sure makes shooting a bit more fun w/ a couple of extra mags.
You know that WWB is usually not the most consistent ammo ever produced & so the good news is that your pistol is probably even more of a tack driver than you think it is. :biggrin2:

Great that the "better half" is now shooting. :congrats:
Remember to keep the shooting sessions just "fun shooting" her first few times out.

Tank, remember two things,,SIG's run better a little wet, if your shooting a hell of a lot, lube heavy, the trw25 stuff works wonders,
and never ever clean from the muzzle, or use any stainless steel brushes on them.

I have carried and shot the hell out of SIG's for better than 30 years, they are a great handgun
