The SIG-Sauer P226 was a strong contender in the US Army's trials to replace the Colt .45, but lost out on price to the Beretta 92F. When the SAS trialled modern pistols to replace the ageing Browning 9mm Hi-Power, the choice came down to the SIG and the Glock 17, and the SIG won by a narrow margin.
The SIG is typical of the modern breed of automatic pistol, using the Colt/Browning short-recoil mechanism. An automatic firing pin safety mechanism locks up the firing pin until the trigger is pulled. There is no separate safety catch. The mechanism is double-action, so does not need cocking to fire the first shot. The weapon fires the standard 9mm Parabellum round, and has a 15-round box magazine in the grip.
