SIG SAUER P226 Scorpion CA 10-Round 9mm Pistol

The SIG SAUER P226 Scorpion CA is a California-compliant full-size 9mm pistol that combines the established P226 double-action/single-action operating system with distinctive Scorpion styling and a practical low-capacity magazine package. Identified by manufacturer part number 226R-9-SCPN-CA, this exact configuration pairs a 4.4-inch barrel with a flat dark earth finish, black-and-green G10 grips, SIGLITE night sights, a Short Reset Trigger, and two 10-round steel magazines.

Full-size P226 platform

The P226 is SIG SAUER’s full-size metal-frame pistol platform. This model uses a traditional double-action/single-action trigger system: the initial trigger press is double action, with subsequent presses operating in single action after the slide cycles. A frame-mounted decocking control allows the hammer to be lowered according to the manufacturer’s operating procedure without requiring a separate manual safety lever.

Its 4.4-inch barrel and full-size frame make this configuration well suited to shooters who prioritize a substantial grip, a longer sight radius, and the familiar handling characteristics of the P226 design. The pistol’s controls and overall layout remain recognizable to experienced SIG classic-series users while the Scorpion treatment gives the model its own visual identity.

Scorpion finish and G10 grips

SIG specifies this variant with a flat dark earth finish and contrasting black-and-green G10 grip panels. G10 is a layered composite material commonly chosen for its rigidity and textured surface. On this P226, the panels add a secure contact surface while reinforcing the Scorpion color scheme. The combination creates a distinctive factory appearance without changing the underlying full-size P226 operating format.

SIGLITE sights and Short Reset Trigger

Factory SIGLITE night sights provide a familiar three-dot sight picture with low-light reference points. They are intended to remain useful across changing light conditions without adding an electronic optic or requiring batteries.

The Short Reset Trigger, often abbreviated SRT, is another defining feature of this exact model. It shortens the trigger’s reset distance after a shot compared with the standard classic-series trigger arrangement. The result is a more concise reset feel while retaining the pistol’s double-action/single-action system. Trigger characteristics should always be evaluated with the pistol unloaded and in accordance with SIG SAUER’s manual.

California-compliant magazine package

This configuration is cataloged by SIG SAUER as California compliant and includes two 10-round steel magazines. State compliance can depend on the exact SKU and current regulatory status, so buyers should use the complete part number rather than assuming that every P226 Scorpion is the same. Local roster status, transfer eligibility, and other restrictions can change; your receiving dealer is the appropriate source for confirming whether this exact model may be transferred in your jurisdiction.

Who this configuration suits

The P226 Scorpion CA is geared toward buyers who want a full-size, all-metal SIG pistol with traditional DA/SA controls and a factory low-capacity package. Its night sights, textured G10 grips, and Short Reset Trigger make the configuration especially relevant for structured range practice, training, and general ownership where California compliance is required. Buyers comparing it with smaller pistols should account for the P226’s full-size proportions, while those comparing other P226 models should note that the Scorpion finish, grip panels, trigger system, sights, and included magazines are all specific parts of this SKU.

Before purchase

Confirm the MPN and UPC with your dealer before transfer, especially when comparing visually similar P226 variants. This listing is for the exact 9mm Scorpion CA configuration described above, not a standard P226, Legion, or unrestricted-capacity Scorpion package. Firearms must be shipped to and transferred through a properly licensed dealer where required. Read the owner’s manual, follow all safe-handling rules, and obtain appropriate training before use.
