John Barsness gives readers an inside look at SIG SAUER’s P226 Extreme .40 S&W in “Going Extreme: SIG SAUER P226 Extreme .40 S&W, That Is.” Readers will learn why many military units use this versatile semi-auto handgun across the globe.
“Along with compact variations, it serves around the world as a military and police sidearm for a long list of organizations including … the United Arab Emirates Army and the US Navy SEALs who recently visited Osama bin Laden,” says Barsness. “It’s just about everywhere because it’s an extremely reliable and tough handgun.”
