• 357 SIG: You can use the same magazine for both .40 S&W and .357 SIG calibers in P226 firearms due to their similar dimensions.

P226 magazine capacity depends on the caliber, like 9mm, .40 S&W and .357 SIG.

P226 9mm Magazine Capacity

• Standard Capacity: The P226 in 9mm comes equipped with a 15-round magazine, which is one of its most popular capacities. This capacity strikes a balance between compactness and firepower, making it suitable for duty, self-defence, and range shooting.
