The Sig Sauer 226 9mm virtually set the bar for which all combat handguns were judged, as an entrant to the military pistol trial to replace the aging 1911's in service the Sig 226 is in use with the U.S Navy SEALS, federal law enforcement agencies and several state police agencies around the country. The Sig Sauer 226 RX 9mm is the next evolution of this legendary pistol, while it maintains everything that made the Sig 226 great like the traditional double/single action with frame mounted decocker and Sig Sauer's 4 point safety system. Or the tough Nitron finished stainless steel slide matched perfectly to the lightweight aluminum frame with built in accessory rail, the RX model of the Sig 226 9mm features the excellent Romeo1 micro red dot optic. Pistol mounted red dots are quickly becoming a surefire way to get faster more accurate shots on target, especially with different prescription glasses or failing eye sight, the red dot can be much easier to pick up than traditional iron sights. With a top loading battery and multiple intensity settings, the Romeo1 red dot sight from Sig Sauer easily beats the competition.
