I have never been a fan of FDE until I saw this gun (P226 MK25 RX)

This is currently on my shortlist of guns to get, just with the threaded barrel.
Is the mounting pattern they milled into the slide Trijicon RMR compatible?

Do they sell this with a threaded barrel and the red dot??
2
I haven't seen it factory offered.
2
Not stock. You have to buy the threaded barrel separately.
2
What kinda pen is that?
3
That's a k61 Tactical Sharpie. You need level 6 clearance and proof that you are a legit operator to possess one.

Totally looked this up. LIAR
3
Well you must not have the proper clearances.

The MK25 is only different from other P226 due to a water corrosion coating or finish applied to the internals. Other than that its just the Anchor engraving I believe.

Don't forget it also doesn't have an SRT ;^)
2
I ordered an SRT for my MK-25 3 months ago.

the 226 is my favorite and that is beautiful!
2
Goddamn that's the ugliest location possible for the serial number on that gun.
2
Just picked up a P320 in FDE yesterday. I love the way it looks and it feels great firing. Night sights are great. Felt easy to shoot right groups
2
And I just thought I'd decided on getting a SP-01 between this and the SP-01.
2
Not gonna say I like that better than my FDE FNX45T but I like it.
1
The FNX45T is my favorite gun to shoot suppressed. I also love my MK25 RX but your comparing apples and oranges here...
1
I own this as well as many other true FDE guns and this is more of a greyish FDE in comparison to other FDE colors. Don't know why you would sell it, a couple Youtube videos will show you how to shoot correctly with a red dot.
1
Yeah, I made sure I knew how to shoot with red dot before deciding I preferred irons.
I just need more range time with the red dot.
I sold it mostly because it was too big for my hands. Apparently a common enough issue that they released the p226 e2 "enhanced ergonomics" model with slimmer grips.
1
Holy shit that's beautiful. How much did you end up selling it for?
1
$1,250

RDS Handguns are so sweet. Kinda wish my MK25 FDE had one on it now.

I love the anchor engraved on it, I'm guessing only a handful in here know why that's there. P226 is one of my favorite .45 to own, first of course is the all mighty 1911.

They don't make the P226 in .45? And also, pretty sure most people here know why the anchor is there.
14
226 does not come in 45.
10
I'm sure he meant P220.
Maybe.
I hope it's not one of those situations like the SD9VE vs SD40VE story that was on here the other day.
10
No, that's the P227. It's basically the exact same as the P226, but just a hair thicker in the grips.
1
P227 is in .45. For all practical purposes, it is the same as the P226 but just a little bit thicker in the grips.
1
Everybody knows why the anchor is there. It's the entire marketing campaign for the gun.
10
Mine doesn't have an anchor on it, I wish that would badass.

You must be apart of the "in crowd" or something. So cool.
8
More then just the "in crowd" lol
1
I'm guessing only a handful in here know why that's there.
To make money.
2
Is it to warn owners that it will sink if tossed overboard, unlike all other pistols?

I was going through my photos of guns I have sold recently, and I couldn't help but to share this one.
It's strange how much more you appreciate the guns you no longer own... :(
Amazing firearm; if only I had larger hands for it and didn't suck with red dots. It was a tack driver when I used the irons, but I just couldn't ever use the red dot consistently.
I must be kinda dumb because I bought a Q5 Match to replace it... Still using the irons though and I love it!
There's your problem, you will never feel this way if you never sell or trade them.
Unless of course you were in a tragic boating accident... then my deepest condolences for your losses.
I've also been super happy with my Q5 match even though the blue stuff is retarded looking and the idiots put the rear site on the optics plate. Love the trigger, points so natural, and PPQ comfortable
How did the Romeo hold up?
I actually loved how low profile and thin the housing was. I didn't beat it against a table like I've seen some people do to their RMRs in YouTube videos, but it functioned perfectly for me. I especially liked the auto on/off based on motion it has to last even longer.
Thanks!
I like the price point of their stuff for sure. That makes like 3-4 makers of sub-RMR tier RDS. And the cheaper these 2nd tier options are - the more intrigued I get at having one on a range gun.
