I have two examples...P226 NSW and a Blackwater Edition...the NSW has a special maritime finish to ward off rust...IMHO, the P 226 is perhaps in the top five of combat 9 mm pistols...the US Army did a "shake and break" test on the Sigs, and because the test was so unrealistic, the Sigs "failed", and the Beretta became the standard issue (what a POS that Beretta is)...anyhoo, I am not fond of Sig's latest offerings...too commercial...but if you can get your hands on a P 226, you will only be happy.
