These are very good weapons. I think that if I could once again carry any duty pistol from 9mm to .45 ACP, I would go with a P226 in .357 SIG. As it is, I must a carry privately purchased .40, and chose the P229. After I retire, my .40s may well get .357 SIG barrels. Texas DPS seems to really love their .357 SIG P226 duty pistols.
