I have two Sig MK25 guns. One is a CA Compliant model but I just got the real deal MK25 (now that I no longer live in California). These guns are AWESOME!!! Love Sigs!!!
I have several. I have two MK25, and 2 standard 226's. 23's are 9mm. The 226's, I have one with the 40 S&W barrel, and the other with the 357 SIG barrel. MK25's are house guns with lights, and the 357 SIG is open carry, and the 40 S&W is a backup in the car gun. Love them all.
By far one of the most top notch pistols out there. Glad I invested in one especially this particular mk 25 and color. Most guns are all black, but this tan color and finish is so unique and it brings out its gorgeous features. P226 is the ferrari of the Sig Sauer name
@@tinopacino9400 I know it's pricey but just save a little each week and you'll have it by spring time! Well worth the money and you can't put a price on protection my friend! Life is short, treat yourself
A true go-to-war pistol. The first model I ever bought and the last I would ever get rid of….probably never. I thought the MK25 came standard with a short reset trigger?
Have a MK25 FDE, installed a SRT kit with E2 grips. Shoots fantastic. Love it so much bought a black one, Also purchased another upper with a Romeo One sight, then I found a 22 conversion. Absolutely my favorite pistols and great training setup with the 22 conversion when I bring a newb to the range.
I have a circa 2010-2011 P226 Extreme, and it shares nearly all of the same features of this gun. It has a short release trigger (SRT), horizontal fore grip stripes/knurling, night sights. I have a decocker, but I honestly thought all P226s had decockers. Other than the internal barrel coating, and the older style rail... mine has all of this, plus Hogue grips. If you're looking for most of these features in another variant of P226... give the Extreme a look too.
Awesome video and in depth review, not over the top off topic at all, you have definitelygained a new sub here. I also own a fde mk25 and a black as well but i recently bought a 226 Legion and a 226RX and iv gotta say of all my handguns i own each 226 has been absolutely flawless out of the box shooters and spot on with each shot. My neighbor has always been a diehard glock is the be all end all of everything until the day he started shooting my sigs, and he now owns 3 sigs lol still carrys his glocks some times but will now admit he prefers the sig 226 over his glocks.
LoL no sir no hatin at all. Long as they go bang when we need them to is all that really matters lol i got a few glocks my self. Out of all of them i do have my favorite is my G45 MOS 9mm, all iv done so far is add a trijicon to it and a flatface johnny glock trigger lol
@@ethanweeter2732 honestly the only glocks iv ever seen be bad about misfiring or something of that nature is 99% of the time ammo related or either its had some cheaper after market parts put in it. Iv got several glocks that iv had gor years now and also got 2 gen 5 model's which are the 19x and the 45 9mm they are basically the same gun just a different color truthfully. But iv honestly never had a problem out of any of my glocks at all , iv had some reloaded ammo fails that caused a malfunction but it was the ammos fault. Now im not saying that there arent any bad glovks out there im just saying from my experience with them, im sure there has been some lemons come off glocks assembly line before you know cause they are high production guns. If they were hand fitted like the high dollar 1911s are id say it was very unlikely but im sure there is bad ones. But as far as buying a glock to protect yourself and family id never ever have a doubt about it firing whatsoever.
@@CoalMiner379the Glock 45 gen 5 is my fav Glock the 17 handle and 19 slide gives it a great balance it’s the onl Glock I need now I’m tryin to figure out how’s the recoil in the sig p226 if it’s muzzle floppy or the norm
I have the 226 not the mk25 but it does weigh 34 oz and it shoots like a dream I love it mine has the curved rail so I need a different style light or adapter for the light mount but it’s the same thing love it
Damn the fde verison is gorgeous! I wish i knew someone who had one who would be down to swap frames or slides. How cool would a black and fde two tone mk25 be?? Regardless, I still think I prefer the all black on this specific gun but the fde is absolutely beautiful too.
you see fde mk25 all the time anyways it's still one of my favorite pistols of all time throw the srt kit in it and it will shoot better then the legion.
I got rid of that stupid QR Code sticker off the side of my frame as soon as I got home with my baby. It just annoyed me to look at. I know what it is and that is what really matters. Looking to get another one soon.
Are you sure the orange on the spring denotes which way it goes on the guide rod? I thought that Sig painted all their springs different colors as an additional identifying tool.
Just cleaned mine yesterday...orange always to the rear...if not painted, the small part off guide rod goes in where you slightly push it in. If u drop guide rod in and it goes in easy, it's in the wrong way
I also agree except try the P229; or M11A1 it is also 9mm ; however my P229 is in .40 I say this only because there are upgrades to the P 229 over the P228
@@darrellkolb1683 thx for the comment, I must admit I’ve never tried a 229 but I think I should, I’m just so biased with my 228 I can’t see how anything can beat it. Also I think a 9mm is more than enough in a concealed carry & ppl get so eaten up by upgrading to a .40 for example. I’ve seen during my army service how a 9mm slits a head open like a watermelon, I’m sure the .40 would make a slightly bigger mess but is it needed? I’m not sure but I’ve not had any experience with it. I suppose I gotta try it n see how it goes. Thanks mate
@@darrellkolb1683 it sure is. 👍 how’s ur 229, u still getting along with it? Have you had any issues n what are the pluses over the 228, also do you find the .40 better to shoot. Cheers
Lol I called 15 stores in my state to find it for my brother in-law. Store 15 had two in stock I want with the glock 19x over this one but it looks very nice
Videos is pretty old,but the reason as far as I can tell for the extractor change is there fragile(old style). If you are to drop a round into the chamber and drop the slide it will nock a chip off the bottom of the extractor.
@@williamdrosos7103 actually you’d be very wrong. The 92fs is literally designed to plus up in that manner. Beretta even told the us army they weren’t doing a shrouded barrel because that was a very important feature. During the mhs trail. Internal extractors are notorious for cracking from feeding the chamber and dropping the slide. The internal extractor 1911 and p series all moved away from that style because recruits broke them consistently. My buddies dad has been loading his gen 2 glock 19 that way for over 16 years. He’s never had a extractor break on it.
you'll have to call them. They will look for one for you. Covid had destroyed inventory and distribution. Sig is probably not building them right now. On the distribution websites, normally there are 2000-2500 individual pistol models available. Right now there are less than 500. give them a call and give them your info. I know they are looking for some
You’re not gonna find another new MK25 on the market for quite some time or ever again if things don’t improve soon. Your best bet is to buy on the used market, however they are going for double or even triple the price in some cases.
Sure. Handguns are pretty easy to use for a lefty. I shoot both right and left, and almost never have a problem with a handgun. The nice weight of the gun handles recoil well. The only issue i run into while shooting left, is some guns are not ambi.
One of my carry Guns is an M11A1, I really like it. I sent it back to Sig Sauer to have some Custom Shop work done to the Action and it runs great! I had an Mk25 and I sold it for a G17. I liked the WMK25 a lot, I just didn't see the need for both the WMK25 and the M11A1. Cool video.
I have both, the M11a1 and the Mk25 as well as a few others, just can’t bring myself to sell such quality firearms! Have only sold one Sig ever, sold it to my son!
Your best bet is to find a pistol that is ambidextrous. FN makes most of their pistols in an ambidextrous style. Otherwise most pistols can be fired comfortably left-handed, you just need to get used to dropping the slide with your left index finger or using your right hand when it's bracing the gun.
They are basically the same. The 226 is referred to as the full size, and the 228 is the compact version of the same gun. Although the difference is very slight. The 226 holds 15 round standard and the 228 holds 13 standard. You can put 226 magazines in a 228. But not the other way around because they are too short
Unfortunately I cannot put direct links into videos due to RU-vid's policy against selling firearms. You can look up the store. It is Liberty Arms. They are in Harrisonburg Virginia
I have nine different Sig P226's in various calibers and configurations and not one of them has a plastic guide rod 🤦🏻♂️ I'm not saying that some models don't have them 🤷🏻♂️ I honestly don't care I'm just saying that pistol would be a hell of a lot sweeter if they had an SRT trigger in it 🤔🤔🤔 and buyers beware many people have bought commercial MK25's and took them and had them cerakoted to a nice fde color and claim they came like that originallyl. I could make a fancy Gold Label out on the lasermax printer that is in my 10 year olds Bedroom 🤭🕺🏿🕺🏿🕺🏿🚽🧻🚽
@@cpmorgans69 appreciate your feedback. I have a glock 19 but wanting a compact sig for my next pistol. Anything you can recommend from this manufacturer?
@@McGTexas sig p365 is one best conceal carry guns out there now. 9mm hold 10 rds highly accurate and conceals well in your front pocket or IWB . I have 2 of them and love them and they're very affordable, about half the price of a P226 or p229
I've asked a few military customers and law enforcement customers at the gun shop. The few that have seen regular combat told me they rarely used the front serrations on their pistol. One army guy told me he rarely used his pistol at all when deployed. It seems that from what they told me, if they had to use their pistols, they were in trouble, so worrying about front cocking was the last thing they cared about.
GENTLEMEN PLEASE EXCUSE MY CAPS ( MY CELL'S ATE UP ) ANYWAY , I GOT MYSELF THE VERSION P226 RXP LEGION , TO MY SURPRISE I THOUGHT THAT ONCE YOU INSERT A LOADED MAG ( OBVIOUSLY ) AND COCKED IT WAS READY TO FIRE ( WITHOUT PULLING DOWN THE "DECOCKER" LEVER ) ? I TRIED IT A COUPLE TIMES AND IT DIDNT FIRE . SO I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT AND I SENT IT BACK TO SIG , 2 DAYS LATER , THEY SENT IT RIGHT BACK SAYING ITS PERFECTLY FINE . SO IN FEW WORDS : IM THINKING THAT YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO COCK IT AND PULL THE TRIGGER ( AND IT WOULD FIRE ) OR YOU CAN ALWAYS BRING THE DECOCKER DOWN BEFORE PULLING THE TRIGGER. IF THE GUN WONT FIRE UNLESS YOU ACTIVSTE THE DECOCKER , THAT MEANS YOU CAN CONSIDER THE DECOCKER YOUR MANUAL SAFETY , RIGHT OR WRONG ? ANYBODY OUT THERE THAT CAN ILLUSTRATE ME , ILL BE MORE THAN THANKFULL .
Just a quick question, when you say cock it, are you in fact racking the slide? Not trying to imply anything but I need clarification. The 226 Legion should be able to fire in either double or single action mode without having to touch the decocker oh, that's why I have that question
@@TheJimminiShow out of interest how much is a pristine German made P228? Just the usual wear marks on the barrel etc but is broke in perfectly so is as smooth as silk. About 500 rounds through it.
@@KrazyKratosFan good for you, Ive had both so i know. Sig really isn't doing justice at the price point and especially now with the quality they have compared to when they were German made!
I have a standard 226 in .357 and many other Sig pistols and rifles... I must say..with all due respect...that gun is a fail....if it ain't black, send it back.
Please never say in comparison too “Just like a Glock” Sig is far superior, and their design is unique to SIG. No apologies given I am not Team Glock and will never have one.
@@LarryeWhite61 Looks are the last thing one should be worried about when it comes to judging a gun's potential, Glocks are pretty well proven around the world as well
dear god imm catch some flak from sig fan boiz...i do have the MK25, however ive tossed $$$ at like a simp to their fav "OF" thot. and now with all the totally unnecessary yet very "cool" upgrades its a an absolute dream to shoot...stippled the og grips and yes houge piranhas as back up just cuz, every main spring option from 10~17lbs, armory craft comp, trigger, stainless guide rod, SRT kit, RMR cut with RMR type 2 and cherry on top 20rnd sing OEM mags with armory craft base plates just cuz why the fuck not...did my ass hurt, yes but ~ehhh it got better
