The P226 Stainless replaces the standard alloy frame with a stainless steel frame, adding significant weight and a distinctive natural stainless or brushed finish. The additional mass reduces felt recoil and adds a premium heirloom quality to the pistol. A favorite among collectors and range shooters who prefer the look and feel of stainless construction. Less common than the standard alloy version.
