So after weeks of research and weeks of waiting for it to come in I can finally finger f**** my new Sig P226 MK25
I have held quite a few in the shops when I was doing my research but I am still blown away with how nice this pistol feels in my hands. The Sig Night Sights are amazing, are they the Trijico sights or whatever they are called? Or does Sig use something else? I have already ordered my SRT trigger and am looking forward to installing it and feeling the difference. I am use to shooting my G19 so the DA/SA will take some training to get use too. The marathon trigger is my only gripe with this gun but I believe that the SRT will take care of that. My first range day will be Friday or Saturday so I will report back with the results. Thanks again to everyone here who took the time to answer my questions. Thanks to you I believe that I ended up with the best 9mm handgun on the market today. |

You've got a nice one! Mine is super accurate and has never malfunctioned in any way.
Check out the M11-A1 as a companion for your new Mk25. It's a winner too. |

She won't let you down. I trusted one for my last deployment.
Excellent weapons system if you are going in harms way. |

Thanks, it was a tough decision but I am very happy that I made the decision to go with the MK25. I cannot wait to take it to the range this weekend and really try it out.
Besides the SRT and the 18round magazines that are available should I look into anything else for the Sig. The grips feel great but am really thinking about getting some wood grips. Now I just need to stock up on 9mm ammo! |

Also, has anyone else had issues with their Surefire X300s on the MK25 rails?
I switched from the "universal" rail attachment to the "picatinny rail" attachment but I still cannot get it to lock all the way on. I would say that I can get it over 3/4 of the way if not more but I just cannot lock it all the way in. Anything that I could be doing wrong? |

I leave the universal rail attachment on and it works fine. And regarding magazines. I bought 5 18 rounders and 5 20 rounders. In retrospect, I wish I would have just gotten a couple of 18s and the rest 20s. Reloads are faster and easier with the 20s and it doesn't add so much to the grip length to make it a hindrance. I only use the 18rd mags for when I am concealing it. |

http://www.ar15.com/media/viewFile.html?i=65776 Because it's just wrong. The Mk25 isn't or shouldn't be a pretty gun or safe queen. |

I like the way the wood grips feel. They haven't stopped me from putting 3000 rounds through it in the first two months. Hard use doesn't have to mean "tacticool". I put wood grips on my m11 for my last deployment too. Always just feel more natural to me.

I'm glad that my picture made you want them. There was a stainless 226 sitting next to mk25 the day I got it, and I just had to have the grips I saw on it.
The watch isn't anything fancy. It just a Casio gshock that was issued to me by my unit. |

Well I just got back from a day at the range. I guess my only issue will be talking to the wife about expanding my ammo budget cause HOLY SHIT this gun is amazing.
I have been getting use to shooting my Glock 19 and I really did not expect much of a difference between the two when it came to the shooting. But I was very wrong, the pistol was just smooth as could be, there was a pretty big difference in the feel of the recoil between the Glock and the Sig. It took me a couple of magazines to get use to the location of the slide release. I just need to adjust my grip a bit and get use to the DA/SA. But no complaints about this legendary weapons system. Thanks again for the suggestions!! |

Glad to gear you like it man. The mk25 is great. Were you shooting it with the srt? The srt made took the pistol from great to incredible. Then I put on of the short reach trriggers on as well and couldn't be happier.

I think that the SRT will take care of my only little problem and that is the long trigger pull. What are short reach triggers? This is the first that I have heard of it |

the short reach triggers are just a slim profile trigger that replaces the original. This is really down to user preference though. I just like the slimmer trigger.
The mk 25 has the standard when you get it. 
The short reach comes on the elite and a few others.

Yeah, for some reason they called both things the SRT. If you ever intend to install the trigger I recommend doing both at the same time, because the longer arm on the srt sear gets in the way. I really like it though.

Thanks NavyIS2, your post are always helpful.
I think that I will stick with the regular trigger, I like having a fatter trigger myself. But I cannot wait for the Short Reset Trigger to come in the mail. Now I just need a solid holster and more 9mm than I can afford. |
