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
