Still thinking about the Sig Sauer P226. This one, with a conversion
kit:

Good idea, huh?

It depends on what you are looking for: Carry gun; home defense or
target practice/competition.

You really need to think that through because no one gun is ideal for
more than one category.

The P226 is. Small enough to carry, sizeable enough for home defense,
and with the .22 conversion
kit, cheap enough for target practice. The big question would be which
conversion kit to buy.

"...SIG SAUER X-CHANGE Kit™ is the perfect accessory for your SIG
SAUER Classic .22 rimfire pistols.
Now shooters can add SIG SAUER centerfire performance with just the
change out of the slide
assembly, barrel, recoil system, and magazine to any of the standard
production pistol calibers;
9mm, .40 S&W, and .357SIG. Exchanging components does not alter the
reliability or accuracy of
either assembly."

After many years of thinking about it, I recently completed the
required safety course, necessary applications and am awaiting
issuance of a MA LTC "A" permit. While I wait, I am researching
potential pistols and/or revolvers. I want to buy new, so I am
limited to MA Compliant versions. I'd like to have a .22 ... mainly
for inexpensive target practice but I'd also like a 9mm or .40 cal as
well.

I looked at the Sig Sauer P226. The standard version *is* MA
compliant and is available in 9mm, .357 Sig and .40 S&W calibers, but
no .22 cal.
The one with the .22 conversion kit that you provided a link to is
nice, but for some reason is *not* MA compliant. Don't understand
why not.
