I bought a used Sig Sauer P226 in .40 S&W last night. It is my first Sig and i don't know much about them other than they are supposed to be really reliable.
I did an hour or so of research online last night and and from what i can tell i got a decent deal. Came with 5 magazines and 300 misc rounds of ammo.
i don't know how old the gun is. It appears to have never or very seldom been holstered (no holster marks) and there is not much if any visible wear on the slide, barrel and frame.
I was unable to find a serial to manufacturing year list. Anyone know what year a U611XXX would have been made?
It appears to be a classic style with no rail (just says P226 on the slide).
I am in the market for a leather holster now, but i am not sure which manufacturer to go with. Any preferences? Should i just wait for the Indy1500 and get a holster there?
Any tips or tid-bits of information are appreciated for a first time Sig owner!
