Which Sig Do You Prefer?

The Sig Sauer P226 or the Sig P228?

BarryLee · July 25, 2011, 01:26 AM

While both are great I really would like to get a P228 if I can find a decent deal.

226 every time.

lechiffre · July 25, 2011, 05:42 AM

p226 as long as it has a folded slide, otherwise a p228. No rail please.

The P228 is a compact version of the P226, so its hard to compare them really.

I would pick up the P226 if I was going into harm's way ...but I would rather pick up the P228 for concealed carry.

It's a shame you didn't include the P229. The "wide body" version of the 226. More capacity and easy to shoot.

Uhh, what? The 226 is larger and has more capacity.

Lol+ 1 to the above post as I thought the same thing and on another note

I love my p226

Two choices? Really?

Do you prefer a red corvette or a blue one?

There is a significant difference between the P226 and the P228...overall size and magazine capacity.

So a more appropriate analogy would be: do you want a red Dodge Challenger or a blue Dodge Charger.

dgludwig · July 25, 2011, 10:39 AM

Both are nice pistols but I like the extra magazine capacity offered by the Model 226.

johnbt · July 25, 2011, 10:46 AM

I voted 226 because my only Sig is an X-5 TAC TB. It says "P226S" on the slide.
