The SIG-Sauer P226 pistol was developed as an improved, high capacity version of the P220, specially for the US XM9 trials of 1982-84. The P226 was one of just two pistols that nominally passed all of the technical requirements for these trials, but at the last moment it lost to the other design, the Beretta 92SB-F, on the basis of the overall cost.
Despite this, the P226 quickly became one of the most popular service pistols, being used by police, military and security forces, as well as by many civilian shooters, around the world. Initially available in 9x19mm Parabellum, it was subsequently adapted to .40 S&W and .357 SIG calibers, which are extremely popular in the USA. The P226 however, does not have a variant in the popular .45 ACP round, the P220 commonly being chambered in .45.
In Resident Evil 5, the P226 is the third handgun made available to the player. This gun becomes available for purchase from the start of Chapter 5. It has a starting firepower of 180, reload speed of 1.70, and a capacity of 8. Fully upgraded, it has a firepower of 480, reload speed of 1.62, and a capacity of 16. Overall, it has the highest firepower rating of the 9mm pistols, but lacks any kind of special upgrade category and also has the worst capacity and reload speed.
