That would be the P226 Navy.

But the SEALs can equip with pretty much whatever the hell they want.

Everybody in SOCOM was supposedly saddled with the H&K Mk23 pistol years ago... but nobody (or almost nobody) ever holstered the damn thing. They went out and bought Sigs, 1911s and Glocks for themselves and the Mk23s sat in the armories for the most part.

I ve got 5 Sigs and I couldnt be happier

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a "mag safety" and a "mag disconnect"? Are those other names for a heel mag release? If it is then those were on all of the original European SIG pistols and the early US imports. As a matter of fact if I recall correctly SIG originally called the models with side button mag releases an "American".

BTW I went from owning no SIGs 6 months ago to owning 3 (.40 P229, 9mm P6, and .45 P245) and looking at more, possibly a 228 and a 220. So I guess I am a SIG fan (or nut).

Mag disconnect is an internal "safety" that renders the gun inoperable when the mag is not inserted. So, if there is still a round in the chamber, and you drop the mag, pulling the trigger will not fire. It's standard fare on High Powers, but easily disabled on those guns. The ones as mentioned on Sigs is an anomaly.

[wgsigs]

Thanks. I didn't think it was anything that was obvious to me.

Hmm if it was an anomally then that would explain the price. I picked it up NIB almost exactly a year ago from CDNN. It was SS, Night Sights, with Houge grips, NIB with a holster cost $699.00 out the door.

look for the red box deals,factory refurbs just like new guns but MUCH cheaper. my gun shop did me an awesome deal when i traded in my 380 for a red box 226,its like new and has been flawless.

[nobodylies2.45]

The CPO red box Sigs are the definate way to go, thats what 2 of mine are, of recent Ive been seeing some of the red boxes for almost the same price as the new I hope this isnt a growing trend.

I've got a Sig P220 and a P239 in .357SIG. Both are totally reliable and accurate.
