...I got one of the hard-to-find versions of the Sig 226 I didn't have today when it came in as a "we found it in the back" gun from the Sig factory.

To start this off, no, I only got one. No, I can't get more. Yes, I'm shooting it.

I came in to do my afternoon orders at the shop today and the owner surprised me with a box from Sig. I'd always wanted a 226 Navy to go with my collection of other 226s, and getting one in without a NSW prefix was a bonus in my book. Not surprisingly, I went into customer mode and filled out the paperwork quickly. ;0

Like other navy contract overrun guns, it's got the phosphated internals, came with three 15 round phosphated magazines (non-LE marked), and the U serial prefix - it may be the highest I've seen mentioned though.

Hopefully it shoots as well as my others, but that'll wait for another day.

Now if I can only find a non-railed version to go with it. It's nice to have as close to a real issue gun as I can get.

Don't own a Sig, but if I had your luck I would have many. Great find. I wish I could find one.

Nice find! I'm not a huge Sig fan but I'd pick that up if able. After all, it has my anchor on it! :image035:

so do they just take a small portion of you paycheck each time or what? Or do they send you a bill instead of a paycheck?
