West Coast Armory's Testament to the P226

Not the actual P226 referenced

GunNuts.net had a recent editorial blog posting that caught the eye of this SIGphile - it's titled The Rental Gun Stress Test: Sig Sauer P226. It reads exactly as you'd expect an article about a Sig handgun would.

Shelley Rae - a self-professed rental counter employee at the West Coast Armory range in Washington state - testifies that "one of the most popular guns in the case", the P226, was astonishingly dirty upon taking it apart for cleaning...and that it still performed "flawlessly" despite the grime.

Making this story all the more fun to read is noting how many estimated rounds are put through the Sig pistol: up to 124,000 annually!

This is nothing short of amazing, and yet it's something that we've come to expect from our Sig Sauer firearms. Now Washington state has one more believer in Sig reliability.

Looks like I made the right choice purchasing my P226 Tacops! Only 123,750 rounds to go. Great testimonial to a fine weapon.

Beast.

No surprises here though.
