The WE F226/P226 E2 is a faithful replica of the real world pistol. It performs well and reliably and has a good feel. The rail on the underside also adds the ability to attach a torch or laser. The more ergonomic grip gives you a comfortable hold of the pistol and so a more stable firing position. The pistol will work using both double and single action and has a working de-cocker. Introduced at the 2010 SHOT Show, the P226 E2 at the time was a significant update to the P226 line. 'E2' (pronounced 'E-squared'), or otherwise known as "Enhanced Ergonomics", is SIG Sauer's attempt to make the large frame gun more ergonomic for persons with small and medium sized hands. A reduced grip size and reduced reach trigger bring the trigger face back more than 13 mm (0.5 in), thus potentially allowing better trigger manipulation and control for a greater number of shooters. Other standard features include the Short Reset Trigger, aggressive grip finish texture, and a new wrap-around, one-piece grip panel configuration. The gun was discontinued from the P226 model lineup at the end of 2010 but the E2-style grip system has been adopted on and carried over to other P226 variants.
