I’m going to buy a used Sig 226 in 9mm. I’ll be using the pistol as a plinker and I’d like to replace the factory sights with a set of high quality adjustable sights, preferably with the capability to use interchangeable front sight inserts for different light conditions. Any recommendations on which sights to buy? Also, should I get the tool that’s made specifically for Sigs to swap out sights or can someone with modest mechanical ability swap the sights out with common tools? Thanks, Will |

If you're insistent on adjustable rears, I have used the LPA sight with good results. For a front sight I highly recommend a fiber optic of some sort. The HiViz sights look rather cheap but they offer a huge front dot and are a very good sight for range work. I have them on two XDs and they have held up fine so far. The XD uses the same sights as the P226. Here is a photo of the LPA rear and HiViz front installed on one of my XDs. I don't think the rear will hang off the 226 as much as it does on the XD.
