We just added a new model to our store – a P226 9mm with SRT Trigger (E26R-9-BSS-SRT). The SRT trigger is pre-installed from the factory and equates to roughly a $200 value.
This model has the enhanced ergonomic grips. See specs and ordering information in our store.
We received the Sig Sauer P226 Cerakote today and have detailed photos. We have the P226 Cerakote available for sale in our online store.
View our previous post announcing the P226 Cerakote.
Sig Sauer has been rolling new models out one after another this year. We saw a number of new P238 models – the Liberty and Copperhead. Then the P226 and P229 Enhanced Elite models were announced.
Today’s announcement is for a new P226 model with an alloy frame and the pistol is presented in a reverse two tone finish. This new model features the same ergonomic (E2) grips as the new Enhanced Elites as well as the earlier E2 (e-squared) models. It also has a Short Reset Trigger (SRT), SIGLite night sights, and ships with two magazines. The frame is coated with Cerakote – a high performance ceramic based coating that gives it the look of Stainless but a lighter weight. The model number for this new model is E26R-9-CRTSS.
The new P226 Cerakote has an estimated initial ship date of early October and will have a MSRP of $1087. More details will be posted as they become available.
Update 10-4-2010 – we just received the P226 Cerakote models today. We have detailed photos of the new pistol along with specs and pricing in our store.
Update 30-30-2011: We’ve got Sig Sauer P226 Enhanced Elite 9mm and .40 on sale. You can see them in our store with availability and the discounted pricing.
We just received some information about another two new Sig Sauer pistols. These new models are called Enhanced Elite, specifically the P226 Enhanced Elite and P229 Enhanced Elite. The summary from Sig Sauer breaks them down:
The “Enhanced Elite” models thake the same features common to all Elite series pistols and combine them with the ergonomic one piece reduced reach grips used in our E2 pistols. Available in both P226 and the upgraded P229-1 (using the same slide configuration as the P229 E2), these pistols bring the advantages of the one piece modular grip to a wider audience.
Features:
- P226 or P229 chambered in .357SIG, .40S&W or 9mm
- P229 9mm magazine capacity is 15 rounds
- One piece reduced reach ergonomic grip with updated stippling pattern
- Beavertail frame with front strap checkering and accessory rail
- Slide features “Elite” engraving and front cocking serrations
- SRT Short Reset Trigger System
- SIGLITE Night Sights
- (2) magazines
The MSRP for both Enhanced Elite models is $1,200 and the model numbers will be:
These models are slated for a nearly immediate release. More detailed photos will follow soon.
Update: 8-30-10 – we just received the Sig P226 Enhanced Elite 9mm and detailed photos are below:
We received the new Sig Sauer P226 Tactical Operations (TAC OPS) – part number E26R-9-TACOPS. This is the replacement for the P226 Blackwater Tactical. It ships with four magazines and each mag has a capacity of 20 rounds. See the P226 Tactical Ops model in our store with specs and availability.
We recently received a shipment of P226 X5 Tactical models (226X5-9-TAC-TB) that have a threaded barrel. These are brand new from Sig Sauer and they are no longer in production. We have this model available for sale on our site and you can see detailed photos below. Check out pricing and availability on the P226 X5 Tactical in our store.
Update 10-27-10 – We have the P226 Gadsden on sale for $979 and we are throwing in a free Sig rail mounted laser. Click here to see the Gadsden in our store and to order online.
We just received word from Sig Sauer that a new limited edition model is being released. The new P226 Gadsden (E26R-9-GADSDEN) will be available toward the end of May. There will be a total of 1776 of these produced.
The P226 Gadsden will be a great piece for any Sig enthusiast, conservative, and especially members of the Tea Party.
You’ll see in the photo below that there is a coiled snake and the phrase, “Don’t Tread on Me” inscribed on both the top of the slide as well as the grips. On the side you’ll also find the same phrase.
From Sig Sauer:
Inspired by the Tea Party movement, adorned with beautiful nickel accents, and inscribed with the insignia that proudly flew on the flag that took us to battle throughout the Revolutionary War, this limited edition P226 is a must have for Sig Sauer shooters and will be available by the end of May.
We will post updates and additional photos as soon as these models become available.
