Beside the minor slide to frame fitting difference (Older Sig fits tighter from my experience). And of course the design difference, they shoot just the same. I'm still prefer the older none rail Sig though.

I can't tell you if there are any difference within W. Germen and US models. I think they are just the difference between forged carbon steel vs milled stainless steel.

I have US, German, German framed etc. I've personally seen no discernable accuracy or quality variance between them.

Is the German frame steel? Its very light? Vs the US made one feels like steel weight wise.

When did this guy take over? Thanks

I have a German 226 in 9mm and a USA 226 in .40/.357. They're both fantastic, accurate, and totally reliable. The only difference is that new E2 grip is AMAZING. :-)

I have a U.S. P229 and a W. German P220. Both are great guns.
