This modified system, which was devised by SIG based on Charles Petter's Modèle 1935A pistol and their own SIG P210, has no functional disadvantages compared to the original system, and has since been copied by numerous firearm manufacturers. Instead of the locking lugs and recesses milled into the barrel and slide of other Browning-type weapons (such as the Colt M1911A1, Browning Hi-Power and CZ 75), the P226 locks the barrel and slide together using an enlarged breech section of the barrel locking into the ejection port. The recoil spring then propels the slide forward, stripping a round from the magazine and in the last few millimeters of forward movement the barrel is cammed upwards, locking the slide and barrel together again. By this time the bullet has left the barrel and the pressure has dropped to safe levels, whereupon the slide completes the rearward stroke, ejecting the spent cartridge. On firing, the slide and barrel are locked together for a few millimeters of rearward movement, after which the barrel is cammed down at the rear.
The P226, like the other members of the SIG Classic family, operates by the locked breech short-recoil method pioneered by John Browning. Sauer & Sohn GmbH.ĭetail of the controls and parts: 1. The brand name SIG Sauer remained at the J.P. Sauer & Sohn GmbH to two German businessmen. in the United States, to handle importation of their products. SIG Sauer eventually founded SIGARMS, Inc. Interarms took over importing when the pistol was introduced for civilian sales. military XM9 trials, the P226 was imported by Saco Defense. Sauer & Sohn to facilitate an export market for their products. Consequently, SIG entered into an agreement with German gun manufacturer (and eventual owner) J.P. Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft is a Swiss company and Swiss law severely restricts the export of firearms. The Navy SEALs, however, chose to adopt the P226 later.
The P226 cost less per pistol than the 92F, but SIG's package price with magazines and spare parts was higher than Beretta's. According to a GAO report, Beretta was awarded the M9 contract for the 92F due to a lower total package price. Only the Beretta 92F and the SIG P226 satisfactorily completed the trials. The P226 was designed for entry into the XM9 Service Pistol Trials (see also Joint Service Small Arms Program) that were held by the US Army in 1984 on behalf of the US armed forces to find a replacement for the M1911A1. The SIG Sauer P226 and its variants are in service with numerous law enforcement and military organizations worldwide. The P226 itself has spawned further sub-variants the P228 and P229 are both compact versions of the staggered-column P226 design. It is essentially the same basic design of the SIG P220, but developed to use higher capacity, staggered-column magazines in place of the single-column magazines of the P220. It is chambered for the 9×19mm Parabellum.
