From everyone's experience, do you think I should be worried?

It jammed a few times the first time I used it. It seemed to clear itself up during the same trip. I took it home, cleaned it, and have been back to the range a couple times with no issues at all.

Thanks for everyone's input.
Not at all!!

The P226 is a very top tier combat pistol.

Keep it well lubed from here on out and you should have no issues and it will last you a very very long time and then some. Recoil spring will need to be changed at 5000 rounds fired also.

Yes SIG metal frame pistols like to run wet but that does not mean dripping wet - just visibly wet. I make sure that the entire length of the frame rail on each side of the frame is lubed as is the exterior of the barrel in addition to other recommended lube points in the manual.

I typically use Slide Glide grease but also Weaponshield CLP or M-Pro LPX.

Good luck and enjoy your P226!
