I was terrified when I saw that barrel lock. My brain instantly shouted, "AIRSOFT! NO!" I thought I had been tricked into seeing another airsoft gun, I was outraged! But alas, it was a real P226 and things are better now. Very good video except for the terrifying start. :)
@AmyLeesPetWookiee I here ya, it is amazing how the camera makes it look like an Airsoft. Fear not, the barrel lock is no more. All guns are in a safe now, lock free.
@mmj901 you are forced to buy one in the fine state of MD. they add an extra 20 plus $ to your bill. MD requires a handgun to have that when purchased unless it has an internal locking mechanism. get home and throw it in the drawer and never use it again, the one they put on my ruger wouldn't even let my case close properly.
Check out part 2 as well. I also have a disassemby/assembly video on my channel as well. Go ahead an Subscribe and you will be notified of the latest vids. I love the 226. Get some snap caps and practice dry firing to get used to the gun.
God dammit! I thought it was going to be a fake video with that barrel nut (or whatever it is ;) ) but hey! ;)

is it just me, or is the recoil spring rusty?

It isn't rusty there is an orange coating on one section of the recoil spring for directional guidance. My P229 E2 is the same way.

Nice vid. I got a Sig p229. I really like the diameter of the slide spring in the SIGs.

@xSTH1TMANx I have not shot a P229. I here that people love them. Some use for concealed carry.

@AmyLeesPetWookiee I used the lock for a few weeks then tossed it into my many lock drawer. Nothing beats a good safe.

nice video, thanks for the info. I just got me a p226 R and I love it. I carried it as my conceal. It's an all around gun.

Can you recommend a good holster for the P226?
CycleSolutionsDotNet 2 years ago
I just have the one made by Uncle Mike's size 5 and 15. It's the thinnest holster I found and it holds my p226 fine.
the size 15 is smaller than the 5, but they both work fine.
I quick draw from it when I practice and I have no problems.
