1) Purchased SIGp226 based on VAGT post. Original Post listed below.
2) Sale was straight forward. Excellent communication and punctual at meet.
3) Pistol failed to work properly. Gun was in a used state, I figured I would just get troubleshooting help. I wanted this pistol. The slide would not stay open with one specific mag, and the slide would release by itself during a mag change.
4) Called SIG to obtain troubleshooting assistance. Based on the serial number of the pistol, It was originally manufactured and sold as a .40 cal in 2011.
5) I informed YounGun via text of my experience and the information derived from SIG concerning the original manufacturing. YounGun wasn't aware of the pistol malfunctioning during his time with the gun and he informed me of how the pistol was converted to a 9mm with a conversion kit. YounGun also mentioned he stated this information to me during the face to face transaction. I honestly do not recall, I do recall how he stated he was not the original owner and it was a friend of his whom originally purchased the gun. YoungGun did ask what I wanted to do concerning the sale. I informed him that I was making him aware of my experience and that I would send the pistol to SIG for a revision and inform him of the outcome.
6) I sent the pistol in to SIG for them to provide me accurate details on the status of the pistol. It ended up being the mag catch was defective. No mention was provided friom SIG as to how the mag catch became defective. The servicing I purchased addressed the issue.
7) I texted YounGun SIG's findings to close the loop on this deal. He never responded to the first text and has failed to respond to my second text.
All in all, I am all in with the gun. I feel the gun was misrepresented in the original post. If the gun would have performed flawlessly during my initial range session, I would not be writing this feedback post...

I am finally letting go of my beloved but never properly used Sig p226. This 9mm beast is not your standard p226. It comes loaded from barrel to magwell with a total of (really not that many) practical upgrades... Starting with the solid frame and SRT trigger system, coupled with the sweet Tacops model grips, and finished off with the Sig brand Sigazine Night Sights that I probably will mention in the title. Very new (under a year) so plenty of glow and not much use. This pistol was going to become my "beat to heck" duty pistol but I decided to go another route, for interchangeability with the rest of my group. This fantastic package deal will include 3 20 round magazines for unlimited pew-pew (well limited to 60+1 I guess). This will also come with a fantastic Sig Tac paddle holster that is much nicer than competing types, and the same brand double magazine pouch! How can you go wrong with this ready, set, go starter kit for a beautiful pistol.
Don't miss this deal at only $750. Feel free to ask questions to get more info!
