So about the P226, I believe I posted about getting it so I will give a quick summary. It's an old LE trade in gun built and sold during the Clinton AWB and came with 4 magazines all marked with the LE/Mil use only language. I got it dirt cheap, from an FFL no less, and the only issues the gun has is that the night sites are dim and someone hacked on the Hogue grips to make a thumb rest. Finish is in excellent condition (minimal holster wear), with very little mechanical wear internally, so I suspect the pistol spent more time out of a holster than in one. Eventually I will send the gun in for Sig's "Sig Service Plan" and that will result in new night sites, but I expect some Nill Walnut grips to arrive for it next week.
About the P238, it works well and has given me no issues. Its round count is approaching the 1k mark and has shown nothing but that famous Sig Reliability.
About the Holster. I already have one Comp-Tac Minotaur IWB holster, and I ordered some Kydex bodies for it only to learn they did not fit. As it turns out My older holster is a Gen 1, while my newer one is a Gen 2. They only make bodies for the Gen 2s now so my old M-TAC is obsolete. Now if you call them up in person and have a Gen 1 that your ordered from them you can get 15% off a new Gen 2 holster. Seeing as how I had kydex bodies that needed leather I could either return them or get a new holster, so a new holster was in order. When it came in the first time there was an issue, the T-Nuts in the kydex body were spinning free and the body could not be removed w/o damaging the leather. I called them up, spoke to Jennifer to get an RMA so I could send it back in, and within 10 days I received a brand new replacement.
Lessons learned:
1: Everything is subject to change, even holsters designed for future upgrades can become obsolete.
2: I like my Sig Sauer Pistols.
3: I can carry something besides a 1911 without suffering the pain of separation.
I love all my sigs
