Go To Defensive Handgun Series: Sig P229 Enhanced Elite
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ค. 2024
- A few weeks back I reviewed my go-to gun - a Sig Sauer P226 TACOPS - and asked our audience to share their go-to gun. We got a lot of responses but one that rose above the rest was the Sig P229. This gun from Sig has many variations but today we're taking a look at the Enhanced Elite model from the Guns.com Vault.
I'm a fan of all-metal guns and, for this reason, I really enjoyed the Enhanced Elite Sig P226 TACOPS with its anodized aluminum frame and stainless-steel slide with Sig Nitride coating. The gun has a better grip and feels more substantial in the hand. The one-piece E2 grip from Sig is really great. It's like sandpaper and it sticks to my hand, ensuring a firm purchase on the gun. - บันเทิง

I know this is 3 years old, however, just got my Sig P229 Enhanced Elite 6 mos ago & have put a few thousand rounds through it. It is my favorite gun ever! Like it way more than my Glock 19. Also like my Springfield Armory XD 9 3”, but the. Sig is my favorite. The sig is my most accurate and softest shooting as well.
Metal Sigs are the best handguns ever made.
Agreed
better than full metal h&k? no experience with either just curious.
@@tannervallejo1340 which one?
My EDC is P229 SAS with E2. Been carrying P Series on and off for over 3 decades. Have carried several poly strikers but always go back to Sigs. Wife's home go to is P226.
Actually, my go-to gun is the Sig P229 Elite. I have built up a minor collection beginning with a West German P6. I love them all, but when I pull up my pants and head for the door, I reach for the Elite. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I know that I do!
Awesome video bro!!! I got a sig 229 scorpion elite that I carry off duty! Feels like an extension of my hand! I'm getting the elite series that was a red box gun!!! Can't wait
My favorite non-1911 gun is my P226 Legion, it's an amazing gun, SAO only. Very accurate, feels good, and in 5,000+ rounds, I have not had a single problem. I also bought a P229 Elite about 6 months ago, but it doesn't look anything like what you have shown. Mine is stainless and has great wooden grips.
I just bought this baby as an early Christmas gift to myself. Looking forward to taking it to the range!
So excited I just got mine waiting for FFL clearance through DOJ can’t wait to get some range time!!!!!!!!!
Just bought this today, I’m picking in up in 2 weeks. I’m excited to put some rounds through it, it felt great at the gun store and seems like a lot of people are pleased with it
How is it after a year
I have the sig P229 SAS E2 with SRT and LOVE IT! It's a tack driver!!!
Also I. Best 40 I ever shot. It’s just a push.
I have the P229 predecessor, the P228, German made. Great shooter. All it needs is a SRT. I carry it as a duty sidearm.
It’s my go to gun here in Cali also the e2 grip model non enhanced beaver tail with some big white dot tritium insert tru glos and the SRT kit make the gun shoot fast it’s an awesome carry piece.
Took my Wife to a range for Valentines day. And this is what she chose to shoot. Nice pistol. And she handle it well. We're both first time shooters. I'll be looking to getting a pair of Sigs 229
My p226 elite is my first handgun and honestly im glad i got it no regrets
One of my top 3 most versatile pistols, along with the glock 19/23 and cz p01/06.
my po6 is my second fav pistol i own. was fav until i got my sig p229dark elite.
My go to would have to be the Sig P220R chambered in 45ACP. It's a CA compliant pistol so I would rather have the stopping power of the 45. I've shot targets up to 80 yards and it has very good accuracy. Just love the way it perform right out of the box!
Great review! You have quite the set of guns! Bet you can grip and pistol just fine!
Love my 229. Have this same model, can't go wrong.
Love mine too, Ordered the P229 PRO-Cut slide Assembly optic ready, installed a Romeo zero pro 1. Very good accuracy with this red dot. Sig Suar Never Settle!
Just picked up a 229 Elite Classic Carry 9mm Talo limited edition... love it!!! The srt trigger is Sweet!!!
Do A VID!
My go-to has been the Beretta PSX Storm. I've put many rounds thru it will no issues or jams. Cleaning is easy, especially after you do it a few times. I do like having a safety, and when the safety is off, a nice bright "Red Dot" is exposed. With my wife and kids, the saying was "Red is Dead" meaning it's ready to fire. Not that I left my guns out or safety off, it was just safety information I stressed to my family. But I think I'll purchase the P229 next. I have friends that own them, and this video backs up what they tell me. Great video BTW
My SIG P229 Enhanced Elite chambered in .357 SIG is my go-to gun. I also have .40 S&W and 9mm barrels for it (9mm Bar-Sto).
i love my p229 elite dark with the sig romeo 1 pro red dot. best thing i did to it oncei i got adjusted to it. it is my edc and always will be my go to pistol .
Love my new P226 Elite 👍 the P229 is too small for my Lg/ExLg size hands. Beautiful simple reliable internal firing parts👍👍 excellent design.
“It’s very soft shooting, and great for follow up shots.”
-proceeds to grossly anticipate the recoil.
I have the same model as you have in the video (CA). The DA trigger pull the smooth and uniform. It is a very comfortable fit for me when shooting. I seem to get a better grip on the gun over my xD9 or PPQ. the SRT needs getting used to if you’re used to the less than perfect Glocks and xDs
Yep my nightstand choice is the Dark Elite .40 cal. with Surefire light. I do wish I had gone with 9mm so planning on getting the.357 Sig conversion. Second best pistol I own after my P220 .45 cal that has no light rail.
The p229 EE was my first gun. It fits perfectly in my hand and has been flawless so far. It is small enough you could CC if you want.
Yes sir. Thanks for commenting.
@@Gunscom what does the 45A serial number mean? Are all enhanced elites marked with 45A in the serial #?
It was my first handgun as well and is still my favorite in the collection.
For my EDC I alternate a Glock 42 with extended mag and Glock 48 in the summer. In the Fall and Winter I carry a Sig P320 .45 Compact or a Glock 23 the majority of the time. But I do carry a Berretta 92X G with a 17 round magazine at times. Love Sigs though and plan on purchasing a Sig P229 Dark Elite in near future... if I can get my hands on one.
I love my P229 Elite. Thinking about adding either a gray guns flat faced trigger for the ELS trigger system
Just got this today. P229 extreme is my next gun.
I have the same model and I love it; mine is a .40 but I shoot a lot of .357 too.
My go to gun is actually a P229 Legacy chambered in .357 Sig
I’ve carried a P22x Sig since 1990 started with P220 then went to P226 legion in .357 Sig
But the P229 just feels best
Great video btw sir!!
Great choice
My go to is similar. I have the SP2022 in 40 with a .357 sig option. Would love to have the 229 as a companion in .357.
You should check out our Collector's Corner www.guns.com/collectors-corner
I love this video! The Sig P229 enhanced elite is my go-to gun, no question. It is hands down my favorite weapon that I own. What’s not to love? It is of the highest quality, comes out-of-the-box teeming with neat additional futures, and a real soft shooter.
Good info. I’m considering this as a daily but i also carry the 226 already. Just thinking same gun but smaller. Price is kinda steep too here in CA. $1.2k
Great Video
My nightstand handgun is a P220R Carry with a PL-Pro Valkyrie. Still very hard to find a holster for that combination so looking for another Sig. Would really like to own a P220 full size or a P229 Elite in 9mm. Thanks for posting!!!
Sig P229 enhanced Elite .40 . My EDC CARRY GUN. NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT.
My FAVORITE Pistol!
My go to gun is my Sig P229 Legion 40 S&W. My carry gun is my Sig SP2022 9mm.
It was my department issued pistol for eighteen years. I never had an issue, zero malfunctions. 👮👍🚓
There was a murder suspect jumping fences in my area. Boy... never thought I had my Sigourney by my side.
I love my P229 enhanced Elite. It's a great for EDC and it's great for when I'm doing plain-clothes work. It's definitely a lot smaller than my Glock 17 that I normally carry for Duty and it just feels amazing in my hands.
Which would you put your life on.. im looking into getting the 229 and I have the 17
@@a-t5380 both. I carry the 17 every day in uniform and the my 229 off duty. I carry them because I trust them. For me the 229 is the only compact pistol I like and fits my hands the best. I've carried the 226 for a long time but the 229 is the niche gun for off duty for me
@@zboyjason ok I'm sold.
@@zboyjason and any holster recomendations.. I'm a bigger guy 6 foot 250. I like carrying my 17 in winter up here in the PNW and 43x in warmer weather or out to go shopping real quick
@@zboyjason thanks for he reply btw
Sig 229 Legion 9mm👏🏾🔫😃
i love my p226 extreme but i wish p229 ee was available at the time of purchase.
Yes! FTE @2:44 have Screen shot.
P226 elite everyday! On day I’ll have a MK25 and a matching P229 Elite or whatever P229’i find that day lol
I like the 229 fits my paws better!
Got a like new, used no visible wear for $875. Can't wait to fire it.
EDC= P320 X Carry Pro
Similar dimensions to P229 but 17 + 1 capacity.
Great ergonomics & well balanced in the hand.
Very comfortable to shoot with a full size grip to give you that little extra to hang on to and lessen the recoil, making shooting that bit more easier and accurate.
Only slight negative, trigger reset could be better.
Not the same style or manual of arms at all! P320 is not DS/SA - you obviously are totally clueless of how things work and why people chose this over a plastic, striker fired POS
Picking up my new p229 today !!!
Hey Buddy. Did you get your 229? Updates?
@@cannondaleman1 I finally got my Sig P229 after the first wave of the pandemic.
Only made it out to the range once & I can tell you .... I've been spoiled shooting a longer barrel Beretta. I need to practice a lot more on my accuracy on the P 229 cause I can't hit shit !!! 😆😄😁
@@dumaflotchy13 LOL. I feel ya! I have the same 229 Enhanced Elite. I added an XS Big Dot sight because I'm blind as a bat and a CT Laser to it. Made all the difference in the world! That's my EDC now. Every now and then I'll throw my 365 in my pocket and between those two I'm pretty much set. I've been wanting a Berreta 92. My buddy has one and I love it as much as my Sigs. If I can get my hands on one I'll definitely pick one up. Thanks for the update and stay safe!!!!
@@cannondaleman1 , yeah I WAS a decent shot . I was avg grouping 7 out 10 shots on an 8 inch steel target at 50 ft with my Beretta 92fs with an extra inch on the barrel.
Whole new ball game now.
I just have to practice more . 😅😆😁
@@cannondaleman1 , I absolutely LOVE the feel of the P229 .
You can still get .45 the P220, the P227 enhanced elite is my fave.
I am kicking myself because I should have bought a Sig 229 when I bought my Sig 226 eight years ago in SoCal. How’s the LCI on the slide?
Next pistol I buy is a Sig p229
I love polymer guns but these all metal weapons are just more accurate. There is less recoil and you can get on target quicker. I have all polymer handguns but I will be getting something like this
Well said. We have new and used Sigs on our site.
I dont think they make the elite anymore , i could be wrong . I love that gun the beaver tail is the best part never liked the reg sigs digs into my hand but the elites and legion ohhhhhh ya buddy
It's December 2021 as I post. I'm not really familiar with Sig. However, Seriously considering a CC gun in 357 Sig. Need advice from Sig guys.
1. Only thing I can find for sale are 9mm, no 357 Sig or 40 S&W. Looks like they have stopped manufacturing P229 except in 9mm?
2. If I do a 9mm and add slide, barrels, mags, and recoil springs for 357 and 40, likely over $2k. I'm not going to spend that on such a pistol. Any alternatives?
3. From what I see, I think I would want an Elite, but practically not to be found. Do not want a Legion, but it looks like the market push says "... you WILL buy a Legion in 9mm.." no, I won't.
Hard to find specs, but I gather the 357 Sig is a 12-round magazine only?
Thanks for any advice.
Great pistol this my edc in California
What CCW in CA? 🤣jk
Let me see your license 🤣
@@brentwong6982 Unfortunately I don’t live in county of Los Angeles instead brother, we live San Bernardino County. Good character cItizens could applied for their SB CCW permit with our Sheriff John McMahon who does care the 2nd amendment and SB Citizens to defend our self from the criminal elements in our county. Oh also forgot you could play a CCW Riverside County too.
Does the come with the 229 old frame or the new 229-1 frame?
My go to is the sig p 239. No longer made. 8+1=9 1 shy of my Calif limit so for this state the mag count isn’t a detriment
I have one it’s great choice here in Cali but sooner or later I’m assuming the 10 rd limit will be overruled. Then A 229 or 226 will be able to receive the larger capacity mag while the 239 is dead in the water. That said 9 rounds likely gets you throug 95% of any situation in real life.
Hmm - if you're in MN, why do you have the LCI version of the pistol? Surely the unmodified version is available to you?
Put a mag extension went to 12 and it saddles my pinkey.. and fatter grips original grips felt small and tapered at the bottom perfect now 😅
Can someone tell me what is the difference between the P229 Elite and P229 Elite enhanced.
Same , would love this to hear his breakdown on the difference rather than googling it myself 😊
Dude you were struggling with that SRT! :-) Guess you don't have that on your 226? Look at the video -its like you were double clutching the thing
Do all Sig 229’s come with the short trigger pull (srt)? Or is it only the elite?
The SRT comes on the Elite and Legion series. You can also get the parts to convert a standard to SRT, it isn't super hard to put in. I added one to my P220 and a P229 .40 that was a red box buy.
Is there any creep in the SA trigger ?
Picked up my P229 CA Elite today and will take it to the range tomorrow. I am curious if anyone has found a holster capable of accommodating the loaded chamber indicator.
Urban Carry
My barrel is stamped 9mmx19 vs 9mm Para.... anyone know why?
I have this gun and is chamber in 40 cal and I love it but my wife won't shoot it because she like 9mm but the flag on top of the barrel to let you know a bullet is in the barrel stop me from buying a 9mm barrel . What do you advice me to do ? I am concerned a regular 9mm barrel may not fit in my p229.
I am pretty sure with this model to drop from a 40 to 9 you need the whole new spring assembly which includes a new slide; so the loaded chamber indicator is not an issue. I bought a used P229 EE in a .40 CA model (which has the indicator); I had to have a machine shop cut a slit in my .357 replacement barrel block to use it.
What do you think of the 229 in a .357 Sig
I imagine the same that he thinks of it in 9mm para.
2:44 failure to extract
Definitely should've cut that out of the video
HawxHunter , knock on wood I never had a problem with my g2c before or after I changed the recoil spring, because I wanted a steel guide rod.
Due to limp ankle
At a shooting range me & my friends were having the same problem with one of those Sig P229 pistols.
This is why I don't care about these fancy features and good looks. These problems are unacceptable.
Whats your gun for newbies?
My P229r Elite Emperor Scorpion IMMEDIATELY became my "bump in the night" gun.
CZ RAMI 2075 BD
There's a 10+1 mag version and a 15+1 version. Both have sights on them and have the same price tag. Why would anyone want the 10+1 version? Is there a difference other than mag capacity?
Probably for states like California
Can you help me get one?
👍🏻🇺🇸
P226 or p229?
I want this, but in California Sig added a loaded chamber indicator and a mag disconnect. Eww
Anyone else notice the malfunction at 2:44?
Gun broker has them
0:32 looks like Robin Williams
I know, nobody will see this but. At 3:56 the last round didn’t eject
Sorry I meant 2:44
Do they still make this gun.
THey still make the P229. The Enhanced Elite model I don't believe they still make, but the Nitron, Legion, and their new "Nightmare" line are still in production.
why does you p229 EE have a chamber flag? mine does not. interesting. mine was manufactured in 2016...?
California complaint has some stupid safety features, chamber indicator and magazine disconnect.
I think there’s something wrong with me, I’ve never met a DA/SA gun I’ve liked. The triggers always feel mushy compared to my Blocks.
That's okay, it's antiquated technology anyway.
I got this gun for my wife
Go to Gun: P227, trigger work AND SRT, W/night sights and a TLR-1 rail mounted light. Loaded with 185gr Golden Saber +P 45 ACP that sling a .45 at 1150 FPS. Expansion is .72-.75 inches. 10 plus one in the chamber. Three words with a pistol caliber: Permanent + Wound + Channel. If you can't do it with 11 rounds....surrender.
anyone got a non-California compliant p229 elite they wanna sell me?
WTF‼️‼️‼️‼️
Omg 10 round rag and LCI. 🤮
too much talking, not helpful
