Does this have the Short Reset Trigger (or Reduced Reach Trigger) already installed? Someone told me that's what the R stands for in 226R, but I can't find anything to verify that.

I did not find any information. Use Chat now to ask Buds.

Can the grips be changed on the Sig P226R .22 Class. I don't see the grip screws. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/56478/Firearms/Handguns/Sig+Sauer/Sig+Sauer+226R-22-BAS+P226+Classic+22+10%2B1+22LR+4.5. To the one responder: Thanks -- model is at the link.

Yes they can be swapped. They are the E2 style. Example video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=III5iBTT-Go

They can be changed, some include the screws others do not. But they can be changed.

That sig uses the e2 grip. You can switch back to standard grips but you will need the 4 grip screws also.

Is the frame solid enough handle the 9mm rounds? My local gun dealer trying to convince me of that mostly because I don't think he had the .22LR...

Though I haven't done it, I understand you can convert it to 9mm with a complete slide, barrel and magazine change.

Using a SIG SAUER Caliber X-Change Kit, the P226-22 is convertible to 9mm, .357SIG, or .40S&W. https://www.sigsauer.com/store/p226-22-nitron-full-size.html

Introducing the new SIG SAUER Classic centerfire pistols in .22LR Rimfire models. The same Classic pistols that have been used by civilian, law enforcement, and military personnel the world over, can now have these same models factory built in .22LR. The SIG SAUER® Classic .22’s are built on the same frame as their centerfire counterparts. All Classic .22’s feature the same SIG SAUER Four-Point safety system which employs a decocking lever, a patented automatic firing pin safety block, a safety intercept notch, and a trigger bar disconector. The new machined slides also feature a front sight adjustable for drift and a rear sight adjustable for both windage and elevation.

With the purchase of a new SIG SAUER Classic .22 shooters can now enjoy hours of serious training at the range for a fraction of what they would pay practicing with full recoil centerfire rounds.

Be sure to check out the new SIG SAUER X-CHANGE Kit™ is the perfect accessory for your SIG SAUER Classic .22 rimfire pistols. Now shooters can add SIG SAUER centerfire performance with just the change out of the slide assembly, barrel, recoil system, and magazine to any of the standard production pistol calibers; 9mm, .40 S&W, and .357SIG. Exchanging components does not alter the reliability or accuracy of either assembly.

Owning a SIG SAUER Classic .22 and a centerfire X-CHANGE Kit provides the added benefit of owning two pistols in a single premium package. More shooting at a lower cost with the full size SIG SAUER pistol you’re accustomed to; the SIG SAUER Classic .22 caliber pistols that now include the option for centerfire performance with a SIG SAUER X-CHANGE Kit.

Accurate AF. We brought the 40 barrel exchange kit so we can fire it both 22 and 40. Great gun.

Decent but lots of misfires with the Armscor ammo. The Beretta M9/22 and my Browning 1911/22 have no issues why does this. Maybe better luck with CCI

Very nice pistol! Pricey..but SIG quality...adjustable sights a bonus.. Be certain to use HI or Hyper velocity ammo..at least 1280 fps and pistol will run just fine. Slide will not lock open when magazine empty but a non-issue for me. Thanks to Buds for stocking this fine pistol!

I had a P226 for years, until it was stolen. Wanted to replace it. Bought this one and also bought a 9MM conversion kit. Hundred bucks cheaper than buying a 9MM.
As a 22LR, it is not as reliable. Magazine feeding issues. As a 9MM, I trust it with my life, above all other guns I own. The smoothest, sweetest pistol I've ever shot.
And Bud's is always a treat to do business with.

Great handgun in 22lr! This is my second Sig P226 and it does not fail to impress. The sights were spot on and shoots very accurately. Great for practice using 22lr versus 9mm in my other P226 but still with the same trigger pull and overall feel.

Very nice full size pistol for practice or plinking . The adjustable sights are a plus and SIG provides a small adjusting tool so you do not have to hunt around for a proper size screw driver . Very few jams and all with cheaper bulk ammo . A nice pistol all in all .

Extremely fun to shoot! I ordered the pistol on Monday afternoon and it arrived on Wednesday. Great service! The E2 grips that come with it were a little small for my large hands. I got some Hogue grips that feel better. I ordered the 9mm x-change kit as well. The versatility was a deciding factor for ordering this gun.

Awesome Sig P226-22! A real bargain!! I broke it in last weekend with about 600 rounds of .22lr. Shooting a mix of CCI .22lr worked FLAWLESSLY: stingers, mini-mag HP and round-nose, standard velocity, all fed flawlessly. It had 4 FTFs out of 100 rounds of Federal Am. Eagle (fresh ammo) and 1 FTF out of 30 Remington. I then fired more CCI and, again, cycled flawlessly. Also, you can get a 9mm or .40 cal. kit to turn the pistol into a 9mm or .40 or whatever you like -- and it ends up being less expensive than buying a .40 or 9mm to start with! You can't beat this deal!

Purchased the Sig P226 22 lr for two reasons. First as a learning tool for anyone wanting to get into semi auto handguns and second as a platform for a higher caliber via the Sig conversion kits (already ordered). After obtaining from my local FFL contact put approximately 100 rounds through it using CCI Mini-mags (36 gr) which are copper coated HPs. Had three failed to fires, though the rim had been contacted. Reinserted rounds and they fired as expected. Probably a cartridge issue. Have also put 50 old Winchester Wildcats (lead bullet) through with no feeding problems. Am very impressed with accuracy out of the box (more accurate than I am) as well as the overall feel of the pistol. As others have noted, the lack of locking back slide on last round is a drawback (knew about this before purchase) that a company like Sig should be able to overcome, the only reason why I am giving a 4 rather than a 5. Would also say the length of the DA trigger pull is noticeably less than my Beretta 92 Compact. My overall impression is very favorable, both with respect to the Sig P226 and Bud's.
