SIG Picture Thread

[Gene]

A while ago there was a conversation about the lack of trades on PGC kits. Looking at mine and seeing comparison pictures, I think it's possible that the PGC kit has perhaps military model trademarks (MK24). Here's a fairly clear view of the real steel "Navy" P226 (taken from Military Morons, hosted by me ):

 

 

My PGC kit is only missing the "Sigarms Inc. Made in Germany" bit to the side of "Sig Sauer".

 

I'd really like to see the other side, maybe I'll email them.

 

It's a good excuse atleast

New-to-me TM P226 with Guarder metal body/slide, recoil spring and hammer spring, VFC steel outer barrel, PDI inner barrel, hi-flow valve and metal spring guide:

 

 

and because it was the only silencer that I had:

does it actually work with that massive silencer?

Never planned on actually firing it with that silencer -- just put it there for fun. It's a KM Light Weight silencer, but it's also 290mm long.

Here´s my P226 two-tone. Just a "normal" TM/UN Company Custom gun, with Creation metal slide. Interestingly enough, I bought this gun early December last year but didn´t get to shoot it until last weekend. It´s winter here and weather has been far too cold for gas guns.

 

 

Sorry about the poor quality of this pic. It´s shot with a mobile phone camera under fairly poor lighting...

 

I had planned on polishing & painting the details to match real P226 two-tone, but now I spotted that SIG has done a minor "facelift" for their pistol series and the details in their current P22X guns are indeed black. Meh, I´d preferred stainless details, but at least this saves me the effort now. Considering that I had bought this GBB as a skirmish tool and a showpiece.

 

Check out SIGArms website for their new P226R two-tone.

Thanks for the help deciding Soloman!

She's a *fruitcage* beaut, ain't she?

[carpandean]

My PGC kit is only missing the "Sigarms Inc. Made in Germany" bit to the side of "Sig Sauer".

 

Actually, that's "Sigarms Inc. Exeter-NH" in the real picture. Older P226s used to say "Made in Germany" on the right side of the slide, but the newer non-railed P226s do not. The new railed frames (and most of the metal railed kits) say "Sigarms Inc. Exeter-NH-USA", but down below the break on the slide (because they have the "P226 Stainless" to the right of the "Sig Sauer" above the break). The frames say "Frame Made in Germany", but slides are made in the US.

 

Has anyone put real steel factory grips on their TM P226? Is there a noticeable difference in look/feel? I assume that they take as much work as Hogue grips to put on.

I plan to either sell it or take the soloman and gene route

The Creation model is missing extractor detail.

 

An interesting note: having looked at the pictures on UN Company's webpage, I noticed that only the black aluminum creation slide is missing this detail. Both the silver aluminum and black steel slides have the extractor. Weird

 

Anyone know what type of finish (painted vs anodized) Creation uses? Anyone seen their steel slide in person?

[Milla]

I was looking at buying a real Sig P229, but the ones i've found were ridiculously priced.

[carpandean]

Another note for all you p226 customizers: if you go to the Carom webpage and look at their TM P226 page (go to "Custom Parts" and click on the only link that says P226), they have a silver takedown lever (is that what it is called?), recoil guide rod, grip screws and outer barrel in addition to the trigger and hammer seen on Titleist's great gun. Also, they have a black inner barrel, which I think would look great (or, more to point, wouldn't be seen) in a black outer barrel. I found the takedown lever at http://www.hzbros.jp/.

Hogue Grips

 

coming soon, metal lower frame and hi flow valves in mags

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

The Hogue grips were fitted easily or you had to mod anything?

Nice find, I'd love that take down lever and stainless crews they offer, all I'd need then are the slide release and decocker. My chromed parts do fine, but you have to do occasional hand polishing as since they're bare aluminum rust is a definite risk with bare metal.

Aluminium doesn't rust, it will oxidize though and tarnish from sweat

[Titleist]

Thanks for the correction, yeah I'm seeing slight oxidation if I leave the gun out for a few days. So replacing the grip screws and take down lever would be cool.

[carpandean]

Also, I'm curious to know what peoples unique ID numbers are on their Guarder kit's. Mine is IS U001 54*

 

Mine is IS U000 41* (do we really need to hide the last digit in airsoft?)

You do know what rust is don't you?

[carpandean]

You do know what rust is don't you?

According to Merriam-Webster:

Main Entry: rust

Function: verb

1 : to form rust : become oxidized

 

Main Entry: rust

Function: noun

1 a : the reddish brittle coating formed on iron especially when chemically attacked by moist air and composed essentially of hydrated ferric oxide b : a comparable coating produced on a metal other than iron by corrosion

So, I guess aluminum does rust. Though, having worked in a fabrication shop that used both steel and aluminum, I can say that typically one says that steel (iron) rusts and aluminum oxidizes.

Love the collection evo.

 

This is my SIG SG550, converted from a SG552 thanks to a purchase from shadowbane. No burst, seeing as though the SG552 doesn't have that feature.
