Sig P226 Cerakote

Sigs latest addition to the P226 line is the Cerakote pistol. It gets its name from the Cerakote (a ceramic) coating on the frame. I really like the look of the Cerakote frame with the black slide.

The pistol has a MSRP of $972 and will ship in October at the earlist.

    I’ve had a P226 Cerakote for over a year now – bought it at Academy for $799. It’s Flat Dark Earth with a Nitron slide.

    This is not a new product, it’s just more widely distributed now, I guess.

    Actually, there is pink. LOL Plus a few shades of black, a few more of grey and even some “blue” that sorta simulate a rust blued gun. I am doing a Savage Model 10 in Desert Digital now. I may put it on gunbroker next week. Even the optics will be camo’d!

    Does a surface covered with Cerakote by definition always have a “silver” color, or could it also be a “blued” or “black” finish? I personally don’t care much for two-tone guns, but would be more interested in an all-black version.

    This is a terrific weapon I am sure.

    Cerakote is leaps and bounds ahead of the other coatings available.

    This material when applied properly is chemical resistant (inhibits rust), impact resistant (resists dings), scratch resistant and quite flexible. In fact, Cerakote can withstand far more trauma than any normal gun will experience. The coating is so thin that screws and internal parts can all be coated and to top it off the stuff has a built in “lubricity”. That is this material has a lubricating quality to itl.

    I have a S&W Model 10 that I am using dry just to see how it goes. So far, normal operation without a single failure.

    Yeah, I have a bit of a bias as I just got certified as a Cerakote applicator. Thanks for the great blog. I love it!

    Is it just me, or do I see even HIGHER bore axis on this variant?
