The P226 is SIG Sauer's full-size, double-stack 9mm service pistol and one of the most storied firearms in modern history. Developed for the US Army XM9 pistol trials that ultimately selected the Beretta M9, the P226 was praised for its accuracy and reliability but lost on cost. The US Navy SEALs subsequently adopted it as the Mk24 Mod 0, cementing its legendary status. Used by FBI, DEA, Texas Rangers, and dozens of foreign militaries and police forces. A machined steel slide, alloy frame, and SIG's DA/SA system with decocking lever define the platform.
