SEALs Used it, Why the Sig 226 TACOPS Remains Elite

The Sig Sauer 226 is an iconic pistol that has served in militaries and law enforcement units across the world. In the 1980s the 226 was adopted by the U.S. Navy SEALs, earning it the Mk25 designation. When Sig released the pistol to the public, they called it the TACOPS model. Available in .40 S&W, 9mm and .357 SIG, the TACOPS sports a large, double-stack design with a 20-round capacity making it ideal for home defense or as a duty gun.

A longer jacket or the proverbial Hawaiian shirt also open this pistol up to concealment; though it’s more suited for outside-the-waistband carry.
