Looking for a P226 slide

Hello r/SigSauer

This is my first post here if I’m out of line with these please let me know and I’ll do what I have to correct it.

I have a W.German P226 I purchased awhile back that turned out to have an absolutely mangled rear sight dovetail. It appears that someone attempted to fit a 1911 rear sight to the firearm and filled it so the damage done didn’t really come to light until the gun was disassembled for coating and sight replacement. This slide is not economically feasible to repair from what I can tell and two local gunsmiths have told me. Seriously, it’s probably way worse that you’re imagining.

I ran across a suitable P226 slide a couple of years ago (on eBay of all places) and I’m still kicking myself in the ass for not buying it. I haven’t been able to find one since. I also considered just using a caliber x-change kit and running it as a .22 but those seem to be out of stock anytime I check on them. Is anyone able to point me in the direction of some good places to check? I have some requests in at local gun shops to keep an eye out for me but nothing has turned up.

I would strongly prefer a short extractor style slide.

Thanks in advance.
