Actually, the 226 Navy internals had a phosphate coating, not Parkerized.
I saw a "real" 226 Navy (with rail) today at the Houston gun show. It had the phosphate coated internals and came with 3 mags for $720 plus sales tax.

I thought parkerizing was a phosphate finish.
I paid just under $800 two years ago.
What is the 'bait and switch' that Sig is doing?

Frankly the 226 Navy has always struck me as more marketing gimmick than tactical neccessity. Unless you plan on swimming with it, I don't really see the coated internals gaining you anything.
Buy a CPO 226. Use the money you save to buy mags, leather, ammo.

Advertising the P226 Navy as an exact copy of the milspec version when it isn't.
