That will be my next moderm pistol purchase. Most of my pistols are around 100 years old; Mauser Broomhandle, Webley .455 Mark III, Roth-Steyr 1907, etc...
I've had the 226 9mm for several years and maybe 1500 to 2000 rounds with no FTF or FTE or a failure of any kind. Mine was purchased as a police trade in. Even the night sites still work.
When I first got the Sig 226 I loaded a 15 round mag with six different kinds of ammo from wad cutter to hollow point and +P+ loads. Burned through the mag rapid fire without a hick-up.
Unless your going custom and high dollar I will always think Sigs are the best out of the box pistol you can buy under a grand. The factory refurbs and police trade ins can be real values.
One test I read the results of was the Ohio State Troopers Side Arms Trials. Ten Sig 226s ran 12,000 rounds each with no failures that were not ammo related (bad primers, squibs, etc.). That is 120,000 rounds with no pistol failures.
