SIG P226 Custom shop Nightmare Question
I am new to handguns. I own one Glock 17 pistol , about a 6 weeks old, with about 500 rounds so far) Its a cool gun.
I also have the opportunity to buy a new Sig P226 Nightmare.
It has the oversized slide release and other features that seem cool. But in researching this, I am not sure if this is a great gun for the money.
I read some good and bad about the P226, I don*t know if it applies to this gun, such as some people saying the Borax is higher(at least on some P226 )
So you feel the recoil more and mussel flip, Also, no pre milled for optic ? Am not sure if its an upgraded trigger ? For this money I am wondering if I am making a good choice.
I just saw a used Canic TS9SFX with a red dot attached from the factory (or at least milled at the factory and the red dot comes with it from the previous owner ) for less than 800 Bucks. I understand this might be apples vs oranges .
Without me firing either yet, I have no idea. Anyone have history with the P226 Nightmare ? I know they are limited quantity (Marketing ?) do all P226 shoot alike ?
Sorry for the newb Questions
Thanks in advance

Not sure about the Borax being higher on the P226. Maybe the magnesium sulfate is.

I believe borax = bore axis.
Sigs are fine firearms. If your interested in concealed carry, check out the Sig p365. Spend the money you'll save on the currently outrageously priced ammo and some classes on firearms safety and skills.

Incredibly soft shooters with an amazing small amount of recoil for a subcompact 9mm.
I have honestly had .22lr pocket pistols with more recoil and snap than my p365.

Noah Zark said :!Neither am I, but all of my SIGs, including two P226s, four P228s, two P225s, several P6s, two P220s, and a P227 SAS have excellent triggers. The P6 as issued had a stronger mainspring than the stock P225 it's based on, but I put lighter springs in the P6 pistols and that made a world of difference in pull and acuracy. When I squeeze the trigger in single action mode, the sights do not move off the aimpoint, and don't move in relation to each other. The SIGs I own are as a class, pretty much among the most accurate pistols I have.Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.

Re: SIG P226 Custom shop Nightmare Question
I have a P226 Legion 9mm and I am pretty sure the only difference in recoil, for instance, with this model is simply the caliber used. If you are comparing the 9mm G17 to the 9mm P226, the recoil is lower in the P226. But if you're comparing the 9mm G17 to the 357 SIG P226, the P226 will have more recoil and would be more in line with something like my Glock 43!
I like the Genitron website (https://www.genitron.com/Handgun-Database) because it shows you some quantitative data to help you decide. It's quantitative only and should not be the only source you use to decide, testing the firearm will really tell you how it feels. This quantitative info is directional and it gives you an idea that the P226 9mm should have little muzzle flip compared to the G17. I love my P226, it's a very easy shooter and follow-up is great. It has the red-dot on it which does make it easier for target acquisition and follow-up shots. The factory trigger is really great, have not even thought about switching it out.

Re: SIG P226 Custom shop Nightmare Question
Great Information. I see the recoil is very good as far as what i have and looking at.
Just picked up the custom shop P226 nightmare, cant wait to try it out.
I don*t have red dot on it, but the sights it comes with , just looking at it , really helps my eyes lining the sights up.
Thanks for the website and info !!! Very helpful moving forward !
