An anchor on the slide tells everyone that this is a Navy-style P226. This MK25 has the anchor engraving, a black Nitron finish, a 9mm chambering and a 15 round magazine. It is new.

The anchor is the visual hook, but the pistol is the real draw. The P226 is a full-size, hammer-fired pistol with a metal frame and a long record with military and law enforcement users. The trigger starts with a double-action pull and drops into a lighter single-action pull for each shot after it.

Nitron coating helps resist corrosion, and the black finish is practical. It's a look that works for a duty pistol, a range pistol or a bedside gun. Fifteen rounds is a common capacity for a service pistol of this size, and the full-size grip handles it comfortably. Hands of many sizes can manage the P226, though some find the double-action reach long at first.

Ask us if you want the barrel length confirmed. It ships to a licensed dealer you choose, where you finish the background check and pick it up. A nice choice for a shooter who wants the anchor mark and the proven design underneath.
