The SIG P226 posted better reliability numbers
than the gun that won the U.S. Army contract —
and most owners know that story. Very few have
asked what happened next.
This video covers the full institutional record
of the P226: the XM9 trials, the SEAL adoption,
the federal agencies that quietly carried it for
decades — and the institutions that quietly
moved on. The record has two halves. Most owners
have only read one.
Guns covered: SIG P226
Which tells a more important story about the
P226 — the thirty years of institutional service
that built its name, or the decade of
institutional departures that followed?
