The first stock 226 I had last winter was awesome. It was powerful, accurate, and I could easily get 2+ mags on one gas fill. I hear this is typical of the 226. Sadly, it had an issue, which the seller remedied by sending me a whole new 226 upper.
Since then, I've upgraded it with a Creation metal slide and a tightbore barrel. My gun is not a horrid a gas hog, often getting me less than 1 mag of shots on a single gas fill. Each shot sees a stupid amound of propane being vented. And velocity has dropped to under 250 fps and shots are very inconsistent. I still haven't figured out this issue myself. I'm going to replace all the internals in the slide with some high end parts. Just haven't had the time or money to put into it yet.
PM Bloodsport. He has an all metal, fully upgraded P226 that shoots at high fps and has great gas useage. He game me a list of his internal parts a while back (which I lost the PM). It may be of help to you.
