Obsucrem Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hello all! So I've been a diehard Glock 34 production and ssp shooter for about two years now. I just recently picked up a barely used '86 date code Sig P226 from a pawn shop for dirt cheap. I originally bought it because of the rareness factor of the W. Germany stamp and because of the old Sigs reputation for accuracy. I never intended to compete with it but after a month or so of practice I'm finding myself shooting circles around my Glock! I know I can shoot SSP in IDPA with it no problem but I was shocked to see that the standard 226 is not on the NROI production list. This seems strange sinc they standard p220, p225, and p228 are most definitely on that list at the moment. Am I missing something here or is this pistol not production legal? Thanks for your replies!

Jaxshooter Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 The current 226 is approved. There was even a USPSA Edition 226 made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH556 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I shot my W German P226 in production it is the same dimensionally as all the current models and fits in the box, I only quit using it because mine has a brushed nickel finish and I was beating it up using it in matches.

JAFO Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 How odd. I had not noticed that a plain jane 226 isn't on the list, but I've been using mine for 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I was noticing, have you ever run a major match this way? Wouldn't want to get bumped for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFO Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Just shot a Level II this past weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if they consider the P226R to be equivalent. You could always send an email to the main office and ask about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
