I bought this several years ago, and it is still one of the most accurate and easy to maintain guns I own. It's a big hunk of metal, but it points and shoots very well. It was completely refurbished and looked like new when it arrived. The decocker is a great feature that works well. My only regret is not buying a .40 and getting a conversion barrel for 9mm.

I bought a $1000 gun for $600 it came in the red cardboard box minimal wear if any on barrel looked brand new no fading from holster wear or scratches honestly was worried that I was going to get the California loaded chamber indicator with writing on top , luckily I did not get that shoots as straight as I can get it to. Extremely satisfied will buy another if it does come back up for sale, already shot 300 rounds steel aluminum brass no malfunctions

I'm really amazed with what I received from Buds. The FFL dealer was also shocked when he opened the box. I ordered a C.P.O Sig Sauer P226 and when we opened the box it was an engraved P226. Beautiful looking handgun. Thank you Buds for an awesome first time buyer of a handgun.

I received this pistol after having put it on layaway some time ago. Over the years, I've owned many of the classic Sig Sauer pistols, but had not had one in my collection since 2009, so I decided to get one. I can tell you that from my perspective, this Certified Pre-Owned pistol, which seems to be an early 2000's gun, is every bit as well made as the ones I owned from the 80's and 90's, meaning the quality of fit and finish was quite high. I also got one with a butter smooth trigger in both DA and SA. I will say this as well, not to bash another gun, but I also took delivery of a brand new Beretta 92 FS at the same time, and while I like the Beretta, this Sig is much, much smoother in all operations right out of the box, and the trigger is nicer. Score one for Sig Sauer. Ordering a CPO Sig is like a box of chocolates, in that you never know exactly what you will get until you open the box, but you know it will be good. So just to let you know what you might expect if you order one, mine came in a substantial red cardboard box imprinted with the Sig Sauer name on it, rather than a plastic case. I remember the days when all Sigs shipped in a gray cardboard box, just like this, so that did not bother me. Mine is a German frame model, with a stainless steel slide (blackened of course) that was made in the USA. The frame is marked "Sigarms Inc. Exeter NH, Frame Made in Germany". The finish of the pistol was impeccable. Sig says they completely refinish the slides, but do not re-anodize the frames. My frame was spotless, not a mark on it, but it was distinctly a dark gray color, which contrasted nicely with the very black slide and levers of the gun. So the effect is a mild two-tone look that makes mine look a bit different. I like it. As far as sights are concerned, Sig says that they leave night sights in place if they feel they still have life left in them, but if not, they replace them with three dot "contrast sights". Mine had a brand new pair of three dots on it that look good and are easy to pick up. The pistol wore what appeared to be a new pair of factory grips made of hard plastic with "P226" printed on the panels.The gun also shipped with two brand new USA made Sig factory 15 round magazines. These are of the latest style with no zig-zag spot weld pattern on the back of them. I also received a manual stamped "Pre-Owned" and papers related to the one-year factory warranty. There was of course the obligatory gun lock included. In terms of "feel" and function, my new P226 was a joy to handle. The slide moved as if it was on greased ball bearings (easily besting my new Beretta in that regard) and the trigger was flawless in both SA and DA. Interestingly, I was able to compare it directly with a brand new P226 in my FFL's display case, and the CPO pistol was noticeably smoother. Both felt good, but the CPO gun seemed "broken in".The first test fire of my new/old P226 produced some groups at 25 yards that were very close to 2 inches for 5 shots, and at closer ranges it was all one ragged hole with good ammunition. I've owned brand new Sigs, police trade in Sigs, and now a CPO Sig. As far as I am concerned, the Certified Pre-Owned program is the way to go. You get essentially a new gun with a factory warranty, and save almost $400 over buying new. As far as I can see, all you give up is the plastic case. If you are on the fence about this superb pistol, just buy one. It feels and shoots completely differently than today's crop of plastic striker fired pistols, and will quickly become your favorite 9mm handgun. You will soon forget that you paid a couple hundred dollars more for it than for a lesser handgun.

Great deal on an outstanding pistol. This is my favorite 9mm. I have put thousand of round through it and have never had a FTF or any other problem with it. I love this gun and got a great price on it from Buds. I would recommend this gun to anybody who wants a high quality, full size 9mm. I put laser grips on it and it and use it for my primary home defense weapon.

I wanted a Sig because ... it's a Sig. But I was disappointed with this purchase. It came with matching slide, barrel, and frame, all W. German. I had to send the gun back because after about 100 rounds, I noticed the barrel and slide had developed burrs where the slide and barrel were hitting on recoil. Sig took it back and paid shipping both ways. They replaced the barrel, but I could never really get it to shoot to a decent point of aim. (It seemed to want to shoot high, regardless of the sight picture.) Surprisingly, there are not a lot of aftermarket rear adjustable sights for this gun. The trigger was ok, but nothing special. As a combat gun, I am sure this is a good piece. But for range use, I'll take my Springfield 1911 9mm any day.

Item came in perfect condition. I couldn't believe that it was a preowned and have not had any issues with it about 1000 rounds into it. I did have one fail to feed where the ammo got jammed but it was my grip on it and it hasn't occurred since. Grip is thick so if you have smaller hands you may want to consider getting an E2 grip. I was hoping to get a random one that came with a rail, but its fine. I will most likely upgrade to night sights, but for now the stock sights are very accurate and don't need to be changed. The only thing I wish was that it came with an actual case not in the red cardboard box but still not a deal breaker by any means,

Awesome gun, great price, what isn't to like? I got this for 579, quite a bit cheaper than a new p226. Mine didn't have a rail and the frame is from W. Germany, 1989 date. The slide is from a newer 226 and upon field stripping the gun I could see that some other small internal parts were brand new as well. It is pretty much exactly as described, a refurbished pretty much as new "old" p226. Worked out great for me because I like the looks of the older 226s better than the "rail" versions. Gun came in an old red Sig Sauer box that was pretty beat up and 2 magazines. Smooth transaction from buds as always.

Wow - a deal and a half. My non-rail, German-made recevier (and matched, serialized barrel) was made in 1989 according to the SN, but looks to be brand new. Shoots great, has new mags and stocks and maybe the slide as well (can't tell). Thanks to Buds for another great transaction.

Awesome Pistol! They look brand new, Sig does a fantastic job. Mine was a non-railed W. German model with a KB date code(1991). I love it. Buds shipping took a little longer than normal but all is well that ends well. They actually did an excellent job with shipping considering it was the holidays, the current gun craziness, and their high volume of orders. Sig made a great pistol, and Buds delivered!

First purchase from Buds and was as easy as can be even with the holiday rush. Thanks for an easy transaction. Got my P226 hoping for a rail, but not really expecting it. As a CPO item I was hoping to get a good condition pistol... upon inspection it was in excellent condition and no accessory rail. For the price and condition I really think I got a great deal. I finally got to the range and put a few hundred rounds through it. Not a single FTF or FTE. Nice groups and great feel. Can't wait to get back to the range and put more rounds on target with this. Shipped in a Sig Sauer CPO red box, with 2 15round magazines, cable lock, and documents.

Good experience with ordering from Bud's. I had my Sig 226 in two days. My transfer agent did a very good job in getting me approved when phone lines were very busy. I will do busines with these people again.

Great deal! Gun looked like brand new and operates flawlessly. Best bang for the buck I think I've ever seen.

i ordered the cpo sig 226 and it is absolutely beautiful. there isnt a single scratch on it. it was pretty heavily oiled, but that is no problem. it came with 2 very nice mags and a lock. buying from buds is an absolute dream. you are emailed immediately with information on your payment, a receipt, and the second it is shipped out you are given a tracking number. buds says that guns are shipped out in something like 3 to 7 days, mine was shipped out the same day. i placed the order at 6 o clock at night. If you cant find something locally, order it from buds.

Gun arrived quickly to FFL and gun looked almost new. Sl wear around barrell, otherwise spotless! Very accurate and nice shooting right of box. Did have a few jams at first, but with ongoing rounds and proper greasing, working well. Another great deal from Buds!

This is a great gun. I was a bit nervous about buying a used gun unseen (first time). When it arrived at my FFL I called and asked him how it looked and he said he couldn't even tell it was a used gun except for the sticker that said so. I took it out to the range last week and it runs really great, not a single issue through about 150 rounds. All in all I'm extremely happy with my purchase and Bud's excellent service in getting it to me. Thanks!

Buds as usual was great to work with. I recieved an CPO gun with a West German slide on an Exiter frame. Gun was in perfect codition and functioned flawlessly through the initial 100 rounds

From other reviews, I had basically accepted that the gun that would be shipped would be a pre-1996 model with the stamped/cast slide and no rail (at which point this would still be a good deal), however the gun that arrivwed was a late model with a tactical rail and in excellent condition. The barrel does not look like it has been fired: this arrived as close to a new in tthe box condition gun as I could ever had expected. Maybe I got lucky.

The P226 is everything i expected from Sig Sauer. Accurate out of the box and comfortable in my hand. Bud's delivered quickly to yet another satisfied customer!

Ordered on Monday night had it in hand on Thursday, great job buds. I have held many firearms in my hands but this one is one of the greatest. The ergonomics is top notch and the overall feel and look is also top notch. Mine showed hardly no signs of previous use and the performance was great. I was shooting the center of the target out at 20 yards with no problem. Overall great price great product great deal!

I took my P226 out to shoot today, fantastic weapon. Very little signs of use...but you cant complain because its almost half the price of a new one!!!!

Bud's was great as always. Ordered over the weekend and shooting Tuesday afternoon. I am running out of fingers and toes to count my purchases at Buds!! The first gun I purchased from Buds several years ago was a used P226 for about $ 725. This gun had long been my fantasy piece but I just could not pay new price at that time. The gun arrived and wow it was just like new. It has been my middle of the night kill or be killed piece ever since. When I first saw that these factory refurbs were available for $579 I had to fight off the urge to buy one immediately. I lost that battle last week and I am happy I did. Mine came with a least a new barrel and grips. I am not enough of a gunsmith to know what else is replaced but she is tight and smooth as butter. The sights took a round or two to get used to as my other 226 has night sights. No big deal as I can now obliterate the bull with either one at 25 yards in. The P226 is one of those guns that when I first picked it up, it felt like an extension of my arm. It is a bit heavy for those who are used to polymer frames, but the weight reduces recoil to almost nothing and makes it easy to stay on target with multiple firings. If you have ever considered buying a Sig I highly recommend this piece. Get one while you can because at this price they will not be around for very long.

First, this is a really sweet handgun. I received it in good time and just got it out to the range today. I tried 3 different grain loads and all of them fed and fired through without any problems. I knocked off 1 star for the discrepancy between the picture and the actual gun I received; the gun sent out by Buds is NOT the same gun in the picture, in that this model has no Pictatinny rail, as others have stated. That's something which should have been made clear, but the gun is so nice that it was worth getting anyway. There are also a number of extensive scratches on the barrel, which are visible when the slide is pulled back. They've been cleaned up and it's perfectly smooth, so it's not a huge issue, but it does contribute to the point loss. All in all, I'd recommend this gun to my friends.
