SIG-Sauer P226 Sport Coming to America

The much anticipated SIG-Sauer P226 Sport made it's American debut at the 2001 SHOT Show January 11 through 15 in New Orleans, La.

According to the SIGArms, Inc. of Exeter New Hampshire, the P226 Sport, which has been available on the European and world market in many variations over the last several years, will be introduced in it's American Sport form early this year.

The P226 Sport features an all stainless steel construction, including the heavy duty stainless steel frame, and uses a compensator similar to the SIG P220 Sport, which attaches to the frame under the mud guard. The slide and frame are polished to a shine and the barrel is of the target profile with a larger outer diameter and target twist rate.

The P226 Sport has extended controls, Hogue rubber grips, and adjustable micrometer / target sights and is available in caliber 9mm Luger. All SIGARMS Sport models are hand assembled and fine tuned for precision and accuracy.

SIGARMS P226 Sport Press Release

SIGARMS ® Now Offers Three Models And Four Calibers In Sport Pistols

EXETER, NH (December 20, 2000) – The SIG Sauer P226-9-SPORT is now part of the innovative sports pistol line up offered by SIGARMS, which includes the P220 Sport in .45 ACP and the P229 Sport in both .357 SIG and .40 S&W. Like the other members of the Sport family, the P226 Sport is built on a stainless steel frame with a stainless steel slide. Both the frame and slide are precision machined from solid block of stainless steel. Customized features include extended controls for quick operation, adjustable target sights and a competition barrel weight for quick repeat target acquisition.

The exceptional accuracy of the 226 Sport and the other Sport pistols is due to the rigorous testing and craftsmanship rarely seen in today’s highly machine production oriented manufacturing. The heavier, target type barrels, the tuned action trigger, the durable stainless steel frame and the barrel weight, all give the 226 9mm Sport superior stability and accuracy, shot after shot. Soft rubberized grips for added shooting comfort complete the Sport package.
