We had my wife’s P6 (P225) pistol out with us camping this past weekend. What a sweet little shooter. I didn’t think I was hitting anything with it at first. On closer inspection I noticed it was making one ragged hole. What a great little gun. If anyone has the chance to get one I personally recommend it.

What exactly is the difference between a 225 and, say, a 226?
I’ve heard a couple good things about the 225, so my interest is up.

The P226 is a full sized doubble stack 9mm, 357 sig, or .40 cal. The P225 is a compact single stack version. Both great choices.

Interesting. I don’t see it on Sig’s website, but I saw a couple things here and there about it. Curiousity, what would be the advantage of using the 225 over the 226?

The P225 is just smaller framed, easier to conceal, and lighter. I would prefer the P226 myself but for the wife the smaller frame fits better.

I have both guns (actually two of the P226’s) and I love them both. When I go to the woods I carry my 226, when I am around town it the 225. The 225 is a smaller flatter gun ideal for a CCW. Mine was a surplus gun that I sent back to SIG and had them go thru and place night sites on ($130 for whole service)and I ordered some spare parts (including a barrel from EFK)after I shot it to make sure I liked it in. Granted after all that I have in it I could have purchased a brand new gun, but its another SIG for my collection and I believe they are one of the top 3 manufactures of handguns (HK,Glock,SIG).

Sounds like you have a good collection of Sig’s started. Thanks for a great post Gordon.
