But the reality is that while the changes are relatively minor, they come together to make something much better than a stock P226. “The only difference is the anchor! And for that price, it better be painted with ground-up unicorn horn.” And to the untrained eye there isn’t much new and different. When I showed the MK25 to Chris and Joe in Portland, they didn’t see much improvement over the standard design. From the looks of things, SIG SAUER made a list of all those improvements, funneled them into a single design and then christened it the MK25. Even my latest P226, a West German 1987 manufacture, has been running like a Swiss clock despite being older than I am (yep, you read that right).īut as with any gun, there were some things that could be improved upon from the original design.

My first P226 was a police trade-in I bought for $300 and despite YEARS of heavy wear, the thing never had a single malfunction and shot as straight as an arrow. The fact that the things last forever doesn’t hurt either.
