Sig P226 Navy being Replaced by MK25
I just received word that the current iteration of Sig Sauer’s P226 Navy (NSWG) will be discontinued very soon. The Navy will be replaced by an updated model called the P226 MK25 (Mark 25).
I do not yet have an actual part number or specs but I understand there will be some improvements / changes to the design.
Additional updates on the P226 MK25 will be posted here as we receive additional information or photos. I do know that the price is expected to increase by $100+ due to the enhancements in the design.
If you’re looking for a regular P226 Navy, check out specs and pricing in our store. They’ll be unavailable after 2011.
More about the MK25
The standard by which all contemporary sidearms are measured, The SIG SAUER® P226® is the pistol that set the standard by which all other combat handguns are measured. The exceptional ergonomics and balance make this full size pistol easy to handle. Its longer barrel yields better ballistic performance and accuracy. The P226 MK25 is identical to the pistol carried by the U.S. Navy SEALs-the fleet’s special warfare operators. The railed P226 chambered in 9mm and engraved with an anchor on the left side of the slide is the official sidearm of the SEALs.

MSRP?
I had a 226 back in the early 90’s and LOVED IT despite it being a rust magnet!
I bought a P220 back in 94, it’s a rust magnet too but I am carefull to keep it lubed and protected properly… and it’s been my GO-TO ever since!
Navy 226… rust proof and built like a tank!
I’d LOVE to get another 226 with MecGar’s 18 & 20 round AFC mags in the near future… what’s the wallet damage on this bad mo-fo?
They will sell for around $950.
any idea when the MK 25 will be available?
Most likely in the next few weeks.
The older sigs from near 3 decades ago had welded folded steel slides that were weak and failed with Plus-p ammo and the carbon steel rusted. They have been dropped dedades ago. The Navy has one piece stainless slides that have a nitron coating over them. As do do all new made Sigs. Rust it cannot happen on these New Navys or standard new made Sigs. The Sig Navy is a top pick and other sigs by most special worldwide. CanadaSpecail forces ,England SAS,commando,s and many U.S. goverment units,homeland,secret service etc.
We just got the MK25’s in stock and will be adding them to the store ASAP.
