Sig Sauer P229 Elite 9mm 3.9" Optic Ready Ambidextrous 10+1

The Sig Sauer P229 Elite delivers enhanced performance through precision engineering and tactical-grade components. This optic-ready platform combines the proven P229 frame with competition-inspired upgrades for demanding applications.

What Makes This Different

The P229 Elite incorporates a factory optic cut that accepts popular red dot sights without custom machining. The Enhanced E2 grip reduces trigger reach by approximately 1/4 inch compared to standard P229 models while maintaining full-size capacity. Ambidextrous controls and serrated slide surfaces provide enhanced manipulation under stress or adverse conditions.

Key Features

• Factory optic cut compatible with Romeo1Pro, DeltaPoint Pro, and similar footprints
• Enhanced E2 grip with reduced trigger reach and improved ergonomics
• Ambidextrous slide catch and magazine release for versatile operation
• Serrated slide with enhanced front and rear cocking serrations
• Short Reset Trigger (SRT) for faster follow-up shots

The P229 Elite maintains the reliability standards expected from SIG's professional-grade pistols. The aluminum alloy frame provides durability while keeping weight manageable for extended carry or competition use. The optic-ready slide eliminates the need for custom machining when adding electronic sights. Law enforcement agencies and competitive shooters rely on the P229 platform for its consistent accuracy and mechanical reliability across temperature extremes.
