I had seen an ad for a West German Sig 226 that a guy was selling. He was moving to Brazil and had bought it during the Rodney King riots and never fired it. We talked, told him I wanted to buy it but I couldn't break away from set. I arranged to meet him the next day at the local gun shop.
Well, called the next morning to set up a time and he was already at the shop with another buyer. Opportunity missed, first with cash wins I guess.
So I ended up picking up a new Sig 226 Nitron. Handles very nice:
It's a great companion to my 229 SAS with the DAK trigger system, although I wish this one had a de cocker....
