Because they think everyone wants to be "tactical"!

I thought they did make pistols without rails also. My 220 ST has one but I wanted one for a light. I do not want a rail on every pistol I have but for home defense I like a wepon mounted light. It would be sad if they have stopped making non-railed pistols.

They could be trying to keep up with G**ck who has been putting rails on the guns for years. Plus there is a huge demand for a "tactical" gun. Sig still makes a few models with out the rail. The 239, 232, and the SAS models.

The guys at SIG obviously have GLOCK envy.

I got a 229 recently without the rail. The dealer had to order direct from sig and I got one of the few that were left. I prefer the look of no rail, that and the fact that I had a VersaMax II holster for a non-rail gun

I'm glad I found my P226 Navy when I did. I had heard that the new Navy pistols were coming with rails, and I wanted no part of that.

Sig just recently changed to all rail versions except for the 239 and smaller and the 229SAS I believe.

Because there is more benefit than loss. A rail adds a selling feature to a pistol and they can reduce thier tooling.
A gun without a rail shoots the same but no light can be mounted. A gun with a rail has the option. |

If you're not going to use the rail, then it's worthless and will serve no purpose other than to tear up your expensive leather holster.

<rant> It's "SIG", not "SiG". SIG is an acronym for Schweizer Industrie Gesellschaft. </rant> |
