Sig p6/225 vs Sig 226

[LI0NSFAN]

I am looking at picking up another Sig. I have delt with a p6/225 and liked a lot and am leaning that way. I just wanted to know if anyone has shot both for comparison and what you thought. I like the SA/DA of the p6/225 but am not stuck on that feature, will most likely have it in DA most of the time. Just looking for peoples opinion of the feel of each gun, they are both Sigs so both should have good accuracy. I am having a little trouble finding a p6/225 or a reasonable priced 226 (other than IRO-bot, he is just to far) that I can order or pick up in the knox area, so any help on that would be great. Thanks

I have both a P6 and P226. I prefer to carry the P6 due to size and excellent fit, but my P226 has the best trigger of the two by far. Just remember not all P6 like hollow point ammo. If you are very serious about sigs and money is not a problem, get the P225, they are rare, haven't seen any other than GB. The P6 when found should still be reasonable, I.e. $350ish, the P226 probably has a lot of post sandy market effect, Maybe N of $500ish. Get both if the budget allows. My 2 cents.

I went out looking today and gander had some 226 in stock but wanted $1000. Academy had one for 800. I would love to get a sub $400 P6, I would pick up 2.

Also, think about a p228, if you can find one. I love mine. Runs like an old sewing machine and will eat practically anything...plus more capacity than the 225.

[runco]

I have the P228 too, I have to agree, probably the pinnacle of most sig collections. Excellent guns.

[LI0NSFAN]

I love my 228, That is what I caught the Sig bug on.

[Guest Gwith40]

My 228 and the 220 I used to have were the most accurate pistols I have ever fired. I love putting that 228 up against glock guys. I know one with a g34 that he loves to brag about.....couldn't outshoot my 228 with it....hahahaha.

I usually shoot against myself by taking 5 to 7 of my handguns to the range.  My P220 is the most accurate of my pistols.  I shoot against my Glocks, Beretta and othe Sigs.  My Glock 17, is an honable mention #3 or #4 in my stash for accuracy.

The SIG P225/P6 has always been my favorite SIG pistol. I don't do DA/SA guns, but if I did I'd definitely have one.

Looking at getting a p6 by the end of this weekend. Anyone seen one for sale anywhere.

If your gonna be in the Nashville area this weekend I saw some P6's at Teds sporting goods in Columbia

[Daniel]

I have had both. I much preferred the P6/225. The 226 while great looking just didn't fit my hand. I really wanted to love it but shooting my P6 is almost as natural if not as natural to me as a 1911. 

[LI0NSFAN]

Anyone seen ANY p6's. I went to the show this morning and none where to be found. Not many Sigs to be found at all.

[runco]

It took me close to 6 months to find the one I wanted. In that time frame, maybe seen a total of 3. Be patient, they will turn up. There use to be someone on Gunsamerica that had several for somewhat reasonable pricing, came close to buying, but in the end, finally found one on Armslist that was perfect.

I guy on guns America has 3 p225 p6 for sale as of 2 minutes ago Edited February 25, 2013 by JoeW

I prefer the P225 and the P220. I like the single stacks for carry. I have not found a 45acp to be more accurate than a P220. I bought my current P220 about 2 months ago and plan on keeping it this time.

I am horrible at searching  on Guns America, always have been. I just ran a search and only came up with one and after gun+shipping+3% for CC and transfer fee it would be over $600. At that point it is just not worth it. But atleast I found one for sale.

[Joe357]

That is the one he has 3 available.

[Steelharp]

Totally non-SIG, but... have you looked at the Tristar CZ clones? They are extremely reasonable, and from what I've seen are getting great reports. It's a Turkish product. Thinking about picking one up to check it out.

Teds in Columbia had 3 or 4 P6's in pretty good looking shape yesterday, didnt handle them though. They want 500 Edited February 25, 2013 by hlb14

[runco]

Pre-Crazy, most P6 that I saw were in the $300-$400 range. 

[Patton]

The mystery of the 225's/P6's, where did they all go?

[LI0NSFAN]

I think they were seen as an entry level Sig which was bad before all this crap started and now an entry level Sig is seen as a good thing. After all I have seen several Hi-points selling for 200+. I would add 150-200 and get an "entry level" Sig all day.

[hlb14]

^ true, throw in another 100 and grab a P2022, one of the best deals in handguns right now imho

[Patton]

I have not seen a sig 2022 for under 500 in a couple of months. They were the best deal.
