I've always been a fan of the P226 model, esp the TACOPS, and MK-25.
But out of ALL Sig 9mm models... all things considered, which is the go-to in your opinion?
Trigger weight, pull, sights, price, etc

I'm partial to the Combat. Have the TB version and it's been great.

Have you shot the TACOPS or the MK-25?

Is the trigger mostly the same on all P226 models?

One of my local LGS's is a Sig dealer. As such, they have a nice selection and I was able to compare/contrast those 3 specifically.
All in 9mm.

1) p226 Combat TB  - $850 used / on consignment.  3 dot night sights
2) mk25 - $1050ish(memory fail) new 3 dot night sights
3) TACOPS - $1185ish - TB SRT beavertail fiber optic sights.

I had noticed the combat on a previous visit and wanted to compare the SRT with the standard trigger.

It IS a shorter reset, but barely perceptible to me. Non-issue in my decision process.
Beavertail was also a non-issue for comfort. Bore axis is high enough that slide bite is probably never an issue.
Sights, the fiber had nice pop, but the trijicon 3dots are nice too.
The 20 rnd mags that come with the TACOPS work fine in the other 2 guns as well. The TACOPS has the magwell, but I don't really care for them.

Functionally, the all have the same controls. The trigger pull is same, sans the shorter reset. All very nice.

Bascially, the factors in the buying decision come down to price and esthetics, what looks nicer to you.

The Combat TB came home with me that day, and bought 2 extra 20-rnd mags.

Shot it yesterday, and made 1 nice ragged hole at 7yrds. A real joy to shoot!

Hope that helps.

Scorpion Elite TB

or Elite Enhanced TB

You can play with it at east. If I had seen this thread, I would have brought it last weekend.

Sounds good to me. Might be a while before picking it up anyway

I have the 1911 Tac Ops Carry TB (45ACP) and she's very smooth.

I like the SRT trigger on the p239 SAS. I picked up a 9mm TB for my 357/40 p239 and it works fantastic.

I opted for the 226 Tacops with the SRT for my Osprey host. Love the thing!

Get a German P226 and a factory threaded barrel.  You will end up with a cheaper/better gun.  You can pick your sights and probably still come out of it cheaper.





Sigs have skyrocketed in price and I don't think you get more.

That's what I did. I couldn't be happier.

I bought an older German 9mm with no rail, Added an SRT kit, and a threaded barrel and a set of Ameriglo Tall Suppressor sights and I'm very happy with it.  And came in way under what a combat model would have cost.

Having a can but no rail to mount an IR laser and light would kill it for me.

Half the fun of being quiet, is being quiet in the dark. The $150 savings over buying a newer model pistol is not worth the limitation.

I bought a P239 with a TB and then bought an M-11 with the TB.  The SRT is worth it IMO.  My M-11 was $899 on gunbroker from Reeds.  I paid $600 for the 239 - I bought it used, like new.  I also have a Mosquito with TB, a 100 round .22lr rifle and a couple 9 mm M&P's that all use the same can - a Thompson Machine ISIS-9.

Went P226 TacOps w/threaded barrel for my TiRant 9. Couldnt be happier with the gun or suppressor.

While deciding, also make note that the Combat and MK25 have a true M1913 Picatinny rail underneath, so you never haver to worry about scratching/marring the frame from mounting a light or anything.
