The 🌐SIG Sauer P226 is a full-sized, service-type pistol made by SIG Sauer. It is essentially the same basic design of the SIG Sauer P220, but developed to use higher capacity, double stack magazines in place of the single stack magazines of the P220. The P226 and its variants are in service with numerous law enforcement and military organizations worldwide.

The pistol was designated as the L105A1 in the British Army, and an updated, corrosive resistant version was designated as the L106A1.

Insurgency: Sandstorm[]


The L106A1 is a pistol featured in Insurgency: Sandstorm.

The L106A1 is a fairly average handgun with a reliable damage output, good rate of fire, and manageable recoil. Along with the other "Wonder Nines" around its price point, it is nothing special, but serves as a more reliable upgrade to the Tariq and, for Security Forces, is intended to be a cost efficient "small caliber" sidearm. Its sizeable magazine, which can be improved by Extended Magazines, serves as its main draw, allowing it to serve effectively as a "second primary" of sorts if well-equipped. However, its medium-range price and unremarkable caliber serves as its greatest limitation. It is otherwise a reliable but average handgun, and is a good choice for players who want (and can afford) a trusty sidearm.

With 9mm being on the smaller side of calibers, it is one of the only rounds that can be somewhat absorbed by light and heavy armor, but this only applies past ~50m. This, of course, is well out of the range that a handgun is effective, so this won't really be a problem when using the L106A1. But even in its effective range, 9mm can occasionally struggle to take down targets with one shot, unless hitting a headshot, though its fast fire rate will ensure a quick follow-up shot.

Costing 2 Supply Points to equip, the L106A1 can be somewhat justified as a good sidearm for Security Forces, even in faction limited modes. It offers a solid performance for relatively cheap and works well as a last-ditch effort in certain niche situations, like when a primary weapon runs dry.
