A good read on fifty years of the Sig P226 design. I’ve always liked the pistol, and its sibling, the P229 series. The double-action/single-action design adds a layer of safety with its deliberate first shot and the decoder-only feature means it’s dead simple to operate. Like a revolver, press the trigger. That’s it. 

I keep coming back to my P226 and P229s… for good reason.
