Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In 2011, Sig Sauer went through a transitional period. Until that year, its most popular handguns, such as the P226, still used a German frame with an American slide. By the next year, that production had completely moved to the US, except for the more unique guns like the P210, the P232, and the X-Five. During this transitional period, there was a small batch of completely German-made P226s that made it onto US soil. These guns were unique because they were the first (and only) German-made P226s with a rail to be sold in the United States. All of the other fully German-made P226s were more than a decade old and lacked a rail.
The P226R slipped into the US came in two different versions: One with a classic stamped carbon steel slide, classic grips, and night sights (this model was known as the E26R-9-BSS-GER). The other had a milled stainless steel slide, E2 grips, and classic sights (known as the E26R-9-B-GER). Both versions had triple-proof markings, meaning a serial number on the frame and barrel, and production markings on the slide, indicating that the gun was completely made and assembled in Germany.
Only about 500 examples of each model made it onto US soil for sale. Oddly, the official Sig Sauer website had this gun listed under their products as the “P226 German” up until early last year, even though it was only a limited release from 2011. So what brought this gun to the States even though it had been years since Sig imported a German P226? Information on the P226R German is scarce, but it seems that these guns were run-offs from European government contracts. Sig Sauer made too many and decided to sell the extras in the United States. This answer seems plausible given the fact that only about 1,000 total were brought over and quickly sold off. This was never a regular production gun for the US market. Also, operators in Europe still use German-made Sigs, and the P226R German with its triple-proof markings can be seen in the hands of European soldiers.
