I was issued a SIG P226 in The Army. The pistol was very reliable and easy to operate and maintain. When time is a precious comodity, being able to quickly and easily fieldstrip and clean with a simple inline Browning action can mean a lot. I also found that the P226 was quite accurate and much quicker to bring into action from Condition 2 than the "M9" I got to use in Wpns Fam (very important when you are going through a sixth story window). Also, 20 round magazines... yup, 20 round magazines.
