I won a 226 as a prize and tbh when I first shot it I thought I'd be moving it on pretty fast
after a while it grew on my even though as already mentioned it no where near it's sights aim -I made a silencer and if fitting one you'll need to check the thread as mine is 12x1 not 1/2"x20 although I'm told some are 1/2"
the silencer made no difference to aim point and whilst reduceing noise a lot comes from the blowback action
one thing that made a difference was a laser a mate sent me for some parts I made for him once fitted and zero'd it changed my opinion of it so for the time being i'll keep it
if you can find one and like the sig shape look for a rws 225 I have one and I'd take that over a p226 any day
