Here's a pic of my favorite 9mm...a SIG SAUER P226...made in West Germany in 1988, which I bought used for $400 off a friend whose brother ( deceased ) had carried it alot and shot it little. I just swapped out the original recoil and firing pin springs with a Wollf 15lb (factory standard) package.
The P226 was designed for entry into the XM9 Service Pistol Trials (Joint Service Small Arms Program), which were held by the US Army in 1984 on behalf of the US armed forces to find a replacement for the M1911A1. Only the Beretta 92F and the SIG P226 satisfactorily completed the trials. According to a GAO report, Beretta was awarded the M9 contract for the 92F due to better durability during endurance testing and a lower total package price. The P226 cost less per pistol than the 92F, but SIG's package price with magazines and spare parts was higher than Beretta's. The Navy SEALs, however, chose to adopt the P226 later. SIG P226 |

SWEET!
I'm not a Sig owner yet, but I've got my eyes on a P220 Elite Stainless. My Pop's EDC is a West German P226 he's had for decades... "We live in a society of wolves. You do not fight back by creating more sheep."

I've been keeping my eyes peeled for a used P226 locally. No luck yet.
BTW, it's SIG SAUER (all caps). |

The Germans seem to keep quality alive at reasonable prices better than the USA. They still excel in weapons and optics with little compromise in manufacturing.
