I'm looking at getting my first handgun.

I'm gonna go with the Sig P226, I've been wanting my very own for a long while now.

Looking at the 9mm black 15rd 4.4 inch barrel - It's about $750 new (give or take a few bucks.

They have the same gun, but fixed with night sights for ~$832 here.

Should I be looking for something with night/better sights, or is that something I should customize myself when I get more into gun ownership?


Or should I just do the typical OB response and buy a couple of different kinds, you can never have enough guns.


TIA.

Might as well get it with the night sights. You'll be adding them later on anyways.

Sig 226 is a great gun. Been looking at them myself.

As for night sights I like them. I've heard a few arguments against them and I don't really agree with any of them. I've either ordered or added night sights to almost all of my handguns.

If you ever have to grab your gun in the middle of the night you'll be happy to have those night sights staring back at you.

I can't link the website while at work but look at slickguns and type in p226 tacpac. It is about 832 on buds and it comes with night sights and holster, light/laser combo and 2 mags....

eta: I think they went up on buds.

KYgunco has the 226 with night sights for 803 and 895 for tac pac
