Sig Sauer P226 Blackwater

[runco]

Question for someone who might know

 

Yesterday, I stopped by my local gun store after work, and to my surprise they had a Sig Sauer P226 Blackwater, and it was a fresh CPO from Sig Sauer in the red cardboard box.  The owner said he had just got the gun in about an hour earlier.  The price, $649.  I thought the price was to good to be true.  The gun did not have the Blackwater grips, but had regular Sig P226 plastic grips.  The gun was not a rail gun, which I thought was odd.  So I passed, and came home to study.  I spent probably 2-4 hours last night researching this pistol.  I admit this gun was not on my radar, or on my next 5 years planned purchases, but I could not shake wanting this gun.  Well, I am not a trader, but I was seriously considering trading something nice but replaceable since my funds have been stretched beyond reason this past month.  Anyway, went back to the gun shop at lunch today to see if the gun had matching serial numbers, because I was thinking since it was a CPO, it may be a Sig frankenstein.  As you would guess it, the gun was sold about an hour earlier.  Geeze!

 

I talked to the shop owner a little bit, he said the numbers matched, and this gun was likely one of the Blackwater School guns, and not one of the commercial guns sold to the public.  That would make sense considering I could find nothing on my searches about a non-rail P226 Blackwater.  So I guess this is the Sig karma that I was owed, since my last 3 pistol purchases have been Glocks!  I have not bought a Sig pistol since 2012.  Very sad at the moment!  :cry:

 

Does anyone know if this might be true about what the shop owner told me?

Swear last night I looked a GB, and nothing.  Now, here is one of the CPO on GB:

As the owner of a Blackwater Sig...I am sorely hurt. That looks much better without the rail.

I like it, I may have to get one. Right now I'm looking for another original 226 Navy NSW serials.

The blackwater 226 had the logo on the grips and was for sale at the moyock gun shop to anyone that had to have it.dont know about a training gun cause students and contractors could run what they brung unless advised otherwise. Although blackwater did have their own armory, gun shop and armorers I wouldn't say the gun didn't come from blackwater at some point. There's a bunch of info on the web about the 226 pistols specifically produced for blackwater..
