Just put a down payment on a Sig P226

[MosinDave]

Man I love payday! I just threw down some money on a Used Sig P226 in 9mm. They have them on sale at my local gunstore for $330 which I thought was very reasonable for the gun you get. I was origionally gonna get a Browning high power, but the store that has the one I want ( practical scheme ) wants $550 for a Used one with 1 mag.... A lil bit ridiculous, so I went with the Sig instead.
It has a nice bore, the blueing is a little bit worn but overall good ( holster wear ) and the slide doesn't have excessive play. I have heard these are great pistols, but have never shot the 226 before. ( only Sigs I have fired were 228's ) Any of you have any good and/ or bad experiences with these pistols you can relate? Anything I should expect? How's the accuracy in general? And overall am I getting a good deal?

My dad bought the same model that has a few custom things done to it. Awesome piece to have extremely accurate and a very well made gun. It is my one of my favorite guns to shoot because of the ease and 9mm's in general are fun to shoot.

My P226 came with the factory test target. I figured someone must have fired it from about three feet. After a my first trip to the range, shooting at 25 yards benched, I came to the conclusion that not only was the 25 yard target the truth, but that their (Sig's) test firer had one too many cups of coffee that morning. This thing SHOOTS. And is extremely reliable. For $330 bucks, if there is only slight blueing wear, I'd say you got yourself a heck of a bargain.
