Sig P226 Navy: Worth the money?

[Pirate34]

Looking to purchase a Sig P226 Navy. Anyone have any pros and/or cons with this gun?

I love mine but I put and e2 grip on it and put and Short reset trigger in it to make it exactly what I wanted. Mine is actually a mk25, I think that's the same as a navy. I got it in a trade deal and will likely never let it go. If I were to buy new I'd pay the extra for a legion (yea I'm that guy) or get the extreme because I like the g-10. Basically you can't go wrong.

I don't know what one costs but I would consider looking at a Legion if I were to go with some special Sig. I'm not looking at prices here, but it's what I'd rather have. Otherwise I'd just buy a 226 or 229 with an SRT.

Yes the Navy is the MK25. I have looked at the e2 grip. I love the look but not sure about the feel. Never had that particular grip in my hand.

I must have thought so. I bought one. I've read that they're one of the best 9mm suppessor host. Helped in my decision and I really like Sigs.

You do know the seals are switching to the Glock 19? I'm awaiting their "seal" edition. I did have a Navy at one time, trigger is horrible unless you install the SRT (short reset trigger)

Have bought and own several Sigs. I am personally not a fan of the E2 grips or the short reach trigger. My preference is a good set of G10s with the original trigger and short reset installed.

dont quote me but i thought the difference between the navy and the k25 is phosphate coated internals. so unless you're in sea water all day thats the only difference

I don't think they make the P226 NAVY anymore. It was replaced by the MK-25. (not 100% sure on this though).

Only down side is the navy anchor on the slide.

I bought a Mk 25. To me, it was worth it.

I have the 226 elite. I would have to agree with everyone, get a SRT trigger in it.

I love mine. Has the SRT trigger in it now. But even without it, its still a great pistol. I qualified surprisingly well with it in December. Id buy another if I could get one at a decent price.

I have a navy from before they had nite sites.

Love it.

Almost bought a mk25 last weekend, but a buddy needed it more than I did. So I let him take it.

I would buy another. For the right price.

 

[atvdave]

I like mine as well. I'm sure the after market triggers better but the stock trigger works for me.

 

[sparkyfender]

Any 226 is a good one.

Really like my Blackwater edition. The logo and special stocks are interesting, but I really bought it because it was marketed with five magazines.

 

[Fordtough25]

Every time I get past wanting a mk25 one of these threads pops up. Lol never fails! P226 is a superb full sized pistol that could probably do it all if needed.

 

[Expat]

I do like the idea of having a pistol that in a SHTF situation has all the internals coated.

I would assume installing a SRT in it would void your warranty unless you had Sig do it?

My son has a sig navy and out of the box amazing. I would recommend pricing the Legion which is their latest greatest new well equipped sig.
