Sig Sauer P226 SAO grips
The Sig Sauer P226 SAO (Single Action Only) is a specialized variant of the legendary P226 pistol, reimagined for shooters preferring a crisp, consistent single-action trigger without double-action capability
The classic P226 debuted in 1984 as SIG's entry for the U.S. XM9 trials (evolving from the 1975 P220), featuring DA/SA trigger, high-capacity double-stack magazines (15+1 in 9mm), alloy frame, and unmatched reliability—famously chosen by Navy SEALs as the MK25
Demand for competition-style performance led SIG to introduce the P226 SAO at SHOT Show 2013. It replaced the decocker with a bilateral thumb safety, enabling hammer-cocked carry like a 1911 while retaining the P226's proven short-recoil system, 4.4" barrel, enhanced frame, front cocking serrations, beavertail, and SIG night sights. Priced around $1,289, it targeted precision shooters seeking uniform trigger pull (~4-5 lb) without DA first-shot transition
Later elevated in the Legion Series (launched 2015), the P226 SAO Legion added Grayguns SRT trigger, custom flat trigger, aggressive checkering, X-RAY3 sights, Legion gray PVD finish, and G-10 grips—built from elite user feedback for superior ergonomics and accuracy
Today, the P226 SAO excels in competitive shooting, tactical applications, and as a refined evolution of SIG's combat-proven platform—delivering legendary durability with single-action precisio
