In this video I review my Sig Sauer P226 Scorpion Elite handgun. The Scorpion is finished in FDE Cerakote and comes in the elite trim with enhanced beavertail and Hogue G-mascus G10 grips. I have also added the Inforce APL in FDE.

Somehow snagged one from Sportsman’s (also in CA) and shot it for the first time yesterday. Out of the dozen handguns that I own, this one is now my best shooting. Thanks for the great review - it was instrumental in my decision to get one and I’d been waiting for 2.5 years to find one. I just wish that Inforce still sold that light. I had to go with a FDE TLR-1, but it doesn’t really match the gun well like the Inforce’s color.

I buy a gun about once a month. Sometimes I go into my LGS and just pick one out of whatever they have. When they put this one out on display I had to get it, it’s a Sig so I knew it as of good Quality but it’s the color and grips that said buy me. Since I’ve had it its become one of the favorite guns I’ve ever owned. It’s reliable, never had a malfunction and with good ammo is as accurate as anything I’ve shot. Most of all it’s BEAUTIFUL.

Ok no snark..... gotta work on that.... Anyway great review. Great pistol. I used to have 3 P226’s and a multitude of other SiG’s and a others..... all I shoot now is a CZ. The Shadow 2 being the current king of pistols. I’m not saying this to pea on the P226 because they are great pistols, but because U.S. shooters very rarely look at CZ. Try one, let us know what you think. And the S2 Optic Ready, if you want that RMR will blow you away. It’s why it is the dominant competition platform. Laterz.

I haven't gotten to shoot it yet as there is too much snow to get to where I shoot. Right now I'm kind of riding the fence if I want to keep it or just get a new slide for it. Any thought would be awsome. Thanks much. Great video too
