I was very fond of a P226 that I had early in my career. I would like to buy a range piece that satisfies this nostalgic impulse.
To my memory, the model was a West German marked non-railed P226 in 9mm. I believe it was a folded slide version. The gun looked exactly like this one (including the grips):
I am concerned about replacement parts availability on the old guns and likely having to buy sight unseen online.
Should I pursue the same gun or get something similar in current production? The M11A1 has peaked my interest.
