A must see, must have is the Sig Scorpion Elite. This is the upgraded P226 model. This firearm, a distinct remake of the legendary P226 model with a 10-round magazine, has been skillfully re-engineered for an enhanced shooting experience backed up by the tenacity of high-level precision. By incorporating the customary power of the esteemed Sig P226 line and surpassing it with prime upgrades, the Scorpion Elite not only becomes a fitting tribute to its lineage but also charts an impressive path of its own. Shooters agree that the combination of the smooth trigger, night sights, and the handling of the beaver tail and grips lead to a great shooting experience.
- Upgraded Sig P226: Making its mark with a unique Flat Dark Earth (FDE) finish and the legendary Scorpion logo, this Scorpion Elite model reflects Sig's staunch commitment to improved functionality and enhanced performance. The P226’s historical association with military trials and etching its place in the array of law enforcement agency arsenals bubble to the surface through this upgraded version.
- Short Reset Trigger (SRT): A unique feature that leaves an impact; it revolutionizes fire speed and precision. The trigger recovery phase is drastically reduced, ensuring that follow-up shots are prompt, accurate, and devoid of painstaking delay. This feature sets a novel benchmark in the realm of self-loading pistols.
- Hogue G10 Piranha grip: A seemingly small aspect, the grip is the key to an emphatic shooting experience. The Scorpion's unique Hogue G10 grip offers optimal hold, enabling you to maintain focused accuracy under varying conditions. Its distinctively aggressive Piranha texture facilitates unprecedented control and management during handling.
- Night Sights: With the incorporation of SIGLITE Night Sights, the Scorpion's utility multiplies, particularly under low light conditions. This makes it a formidable choice for a broad range of requirements including personal defense and tactical applications. The advanced tritium technology ensures superlative visibility when the lighting is suboptimal, augmenting your confidence and accuracy.
- Sturdy construction: With a stainless-steel slide cloaked in an FDE PVD-coated finish, the Scorpion Elite exudes remarkable resilience. This robust framework promises longevity, enabling the pistol to withstand a multitude of climatic conditions and ensuring that it stands the test of time.
- Accessory rail: The inclusion of an M1913 Picatinny accessory rail encapsulates your aspirations of a versatile firearm. This feature lets you mount additional devices like lasers or flashlights to tailor the Scorpion's functionality according to your needs. The door to customization stands wide open with the Sig Sauer P226 Scorpion at your disposal.
Identifying a firearm that packs a powerful punch, ensures pin-point accuracy, and manages to slide easily into the ambit of state-level compliance, can often resemble the search for a needle in a gigantic haystack. The dissatisfaction of having to compromise on either power or precision to abide by the legalities of your state can be frustrating.
The frustration escalates when compliant pistols underperform in aspects such as effortless handling, robust construction, superior low-light visibility, or rapid follow-up shot precision. Not only does this incomplete package deny you the rewarding experience you deserve, but it also leaves you yearning for a sidearm that rises beyond mediocrity.
Bursting into the scene is the Sig Sauer P226 Scorpion Elite, emerging as the panacea for your challenges. This Scorpion model distinctly stands out, as it strikes the golden middle ground of power, precision, and compliance sans compromise. And the list of benefits doesn’t stop here.
Originated amid fierce military trials and being the preferred sidearm choice for elite U.S. Navy SEALs and numerous law enforcement agencies speaks volumes about the quality and reliability of the P226 line. This Scorpion Elite version adeptly encapsulates the legacy of excellence, vivifying the historical lineage through its modern-day advancements. The original P226, born from a quest to design the ideal military pistol, now finds its spirit thriving in the enhanced Scorpion Elite model, carrying forward an enduring tradition of precision, power, and trust.
To sum it up, the Sig Sauer P226 Scorpion Elite stands as not just an embodiment of brilliant firearm innovation, but as a testament to Sig Sauer's unwavering commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. Catering seamlessly to diverse shooting needs and ensuring agreement with state legislations, this Scorpion model is not just a firearm—it's an instrument crafted for precision, reliability, and optimum performance. As you consider raising your arsenal's bar, remember—the Scorpion Elite combines power, precision, aesthetics, and legal compliance into one unmatched package. Upgrade to Scorpion Elite. Upgrade to an unparalleled shooting experience.
"I decided to pony up my hard-earned greenbacks to find out what set the SIG apart from the others. I’m talking “night and day difference” over any previous pistol I had shot. I had a chance to test fire the SIG P226. The difference was immediately apparent after the first five rounds from the SIG P226. The ejection and recoil was so smooth; I was left in awe. Once I fired the next 10 rounds from the magazine—taking my time—I learned how accurate the new SIG could be in my hands. My shots were dead on. The pistol was comfortable in my hand with the unique beavertail design. The G-10 Hogue grips gave it a well-balanced and tight grip." Comments by Justin Poynter

THIS IS A SERIALIZED FIREARM. It must ship to a Federal Firearms License holder. No civilian exceptions.
Buying and shipping through Charlie’s is easy, but there is some information you need to know. Only a federally licensed firearms dealer may receive a firearm or federally regulated serialized item (like a receiver or suppressor). We cannot ship these items directly to you. Please follow these steps to process your transaction:
1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state. Your FFL dealer should be able to give you all of the necessary information regarding your state specific laws. But, if we ship to your FFL, and there is a legal issue, we cannot accept a return. So please make sure that you know and follow your local and state laws.
2) A quick google search will show you what Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers are in your area. When you are ready to purchase, contact the FFL dealer you would like to use and get their shipping address. During the check-out, put YOUR address in the “billing” section and the FFL DEALER’S address in the “shipping” section. If you don’t know your FFLs address, that’s okay. You can send the information later.
3) After check out, make sure to contact your FFL dealer to ensure they will receive your shipment for you (most do this for a small fee, but you should always double check).
4) Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL to FFL@CharliesCustomClones.com. Charlie’s does not reach to your FFL (MAKE THEM EARN THEIR FEE!!!)
5) Be patient! In order to ensure we remain compliant with all federal laws, our compliance department is kept separate from our sales and operations team. Please allow a few days for our compliance officer to verify all of your dealer’s documents and ensure all federal laws are being observed. You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
That’s it! We try to make this process as simple as possible for our customers, but if you are unfamiliar the process or have any other questions, please visit our How to Buy a Firearm page for more details.
