You do not see many SIG pistols finished like this. The Freedom E26R pairs a bronze-toned frame with black, and the contrast looks smart without feeling loud. The sights are SIGLITE night sights, a useful addition on a gun meant for serious use.

The pistol is a P226 in 9mm Luger with a 4.4 inch barrel and a 15+1 capacity. It is a DA/SA design, so the first shot is a double-action pull and the rest are single action. That setup suits shooters who value a deliberate first press and a clear trigger break afterward. A cleaning after each outing takes ten minutes and keeps the finish and the action in good order.

The P226 has long been among the better full-size service pistols. Its weight absorbs recoil, and it has a reputation for accurate shooting in the hands of people who practice. Here the finish gives it a bit of personality, which makes it a good pick for a collector or a shooter who wants something a bit different.

This is a new pistol. It ships to your FFL dealer, and you complete the background check there before you take it home.
