Sig Sauer P226 Blackwater Tactical

New for 2009, Sig Sauer has released two special "Blackwater" edition pistols. Previously, Sig had made the P226 in a "Blackwater" version, complete with the Blackwater bear paw logo on the grips. For 2009, they're releasing a 1911-style pistol, as well as the excellent P226 Elite as "Blackwater" pistols. The P226 is called the P226 Blackwater Tactical, and comes from the factory with an excellent set of fiber optic sights.

The P226 Blackwater Tactical comes complete with all the bells and whistles that you'd expect on a Sig bearing the "Blackwater" name, including 4 20 round magazines. That's right, direct from the factory the gun comes with not one or two, but 4 (!) 20 round magazines. Not to be forgotten, the standard P226 Blackwater edition is also still available, however it lacks the factory fiber optic sights, extended magazine well, and beavertail of the P226 Blackwater Tactical. The Sig P226 Blackwater Tactical has an MSRP of $1300, and should be available in early to mid 2009. DO WANT.
