| | Modern Firearms - Handguns - SIG-Sauer P226 pistol |
 | | The P226 was one of just two pistols that nominally passed all of the technical requirements for these trials, but at the last moment it lost to the other design, the Beretta 92SB-F, on the basis of the overall cost. |
 | | In fact, the P226 was the first pistol to be chambered for the.357 SIG, a high velocity, high penetration 9mm cartridge, preferred by many American highway patrol services as well as by the US Security Service. |
 | | The SIG-Sauer P226 is basically similar to the SIG-Sauer P220 pistol, except for the slightly different shape and double-stack magazines of greater capacity. |
