I had been in the market to supplement my awsome Two-tone 226 for a while now and what may seem an obvious choice to some took me a little time. When I finally came to my sences and disciplined myself for my temporary lapse in judgement, I jumped on to Auction Arms and found a SIG P225 for $450.00. Mike @ Precision Armory treated me very well and within a couple of weeks I had my hands on what I thought was the finest pistol I had ever held. Not necessarily better than the 226, you can't compare a double stack to a single stack fairly, but the finest single single stack for sure.
I have always been a faithful reader of the The Firing Line and some posters were complaining about the 225 not being accurate out of the box, printing low, etc. Some dude was so disappointed, he sold his 225 (WOW). Being a little apprehensive I just got to take my 225 to the range this last weekend.
Muttering a prayer that 450.00 was not spent on a poor shooter I fired the first 8 rounds of 9mm through the little giant....All 8 shots went into the 9/10 ring at 15 feet, then at 25 feet, finally at 50 feet (well some of the shots snuck out into the 7/8 area)
But was I pleasently surprised, the 225 was every bit as accurate as the 226 and the differences in the grips did not impact my shooting poorly. I am usually not the type to just go gaa-gaa over anything really, and I am not the finest shot by any means, but I must say that all the glowing reports about the 225 are absolutely true and then some. No break in time, no hicups, no FTFs, nothing just SIG "perfection"
This great gun makes me look good on the range...I can handle that!!!
