Editor’s Note:

The Sig P226 is a longtime staple in the world of combat handguns. It is used around the world by law enforcement, militaries, government agencies, and special operations groups. The 15+1 capacity and a 4.4-inch barrel make this a true full-sized duty gun. The alloy frame and Nitron-coated stainless steel slide create a robust and durable platform that can withstand the harshest duty environments.

By The Numbers - Sig Sauer P226

Accuracy
It’s a relatively accurate gun but not super precise. You’re going to hit what you’re aiming at you just won’t get gorgeous groups consistently.
Reliability
The P226 has proven itself as a reliable gun.
Customization
You can swap out the grips and mount a light or laser to it.
Ergonomics
Sig did a nice job designing the grip to fill the palm of your hand. It fits naturally and improves your grip which, in turn, enhances accuracy.

Beretta M9

$378.99

The Beretta M9 served as the standard sidearm of the U.S. military for over 30 years, owing to its reliability and ease of use. These are accurate handguns with strong ergonomics, and the size and weight make them easy to shoot and instill confidence in the user. Although the design is a bit dated at this point, many are still drawn in by the aesthetics, shootability, and reliability of the 92-series platform.

CZ 75 SP-01

$569.99

The CZ 75 SP-01 takes the outstanding ergonomics and accuracy of the original CZ 75 up another notch. An extended beavertail, more aggressive checkering, and a Picatinny accessory rail come together to help tune the weight distribution and hand-feel of the gun. The decreased perceived recoil has helped this pistol make its mark in military and law enforcement use, as well as a favorite for competition and recreational shooters. With 19+1 rounds on tap and extreme reliability, the SP-01 is ready to tackle any job.

CZ 75B

$482.99

“The venerable CZ-75 is a classic design that still serves in many militaries around the world…and it’s a great addition to any firearm collection. Chambered in 9mm, it offers an all-metal design with DA/SA operation. And its most modern version, the CZ 75B is a solid and well-built pistol with great ergonomics and a tough, dependable reputation. For that, we can’t recommend it enough.” – Travis Pike

final verdict

“I’d trust it with both my life and my daughter’s life, so you could say I’d recommend it. If it is too big for you to conceal it’ll still make a great home defense gun. Just saying.” – Kat Ainsworth Stevens
