I just wanted to say thanks for helping me the other day for giving me advice on a sig to get. I got a sig sauer p229 enhanced elite in a 9mm. I don't have great photography skills, but here are a few pics!!!

Again thank you very much! I'm a very happy owner!

Damn good looking gun you got there. You couldn't have picked a better gun.

Have some fun with it and safe shooting.

Lovely!

Great looking firearm. May it bring you many rounds of happiness.

Tommy6404 · 02-05-2012, 08:40 AM

I went and took it to the range yesterday. Put about 100 rounds through it. I absolutely love this handgun. My accuracy is phenomenal, that SRT is VERY nice, and I kept on getting compliments on the night sights and front cocking serrations. From the first shot to the last, it was great. Even had a little friendly bet with my friend on a hostage target with our last 10 rounds each. He hit 8 with taking his time, and I hit all 10 speed shooting. Not to ba his gun at all (a nice Walther p99) but I'm a novice and came out on top. So all be said, I absolutely love my Sig!

Very NICE!!! Congrats!!!

I recently bought a P229 SAS and that gun shoots like a dream! I like the trigger and it just feels so well made and put together. I need to shoot mine this week as well as the P6 I now have.

Enjoy your P229!

mgentry4 · 02-08-2012, 03:54 PM

You got a great pistol! I have three Sig P229s and as you can tell, I really like them or I would't have three. I have a 9mm, a 40S&W, and a 357 Sig. It solves the problem of which one to carry - any of them. My holster fits all three so it just depends on how I feel that day.

MT357Mag · 02-10-2012, 07:58 AM

very nice...

Congratulations. Looks like you made a great purchace.
Happy shooting!

Fuzzybottoms · 03-08-2012, 11:36 AM

Hey Dave, you didn't have any issues with it being the New SAS with the new long extractor? Great News. I was going to order one but went with one I found with a short extractor just because I read so many posts that those new gen2's with long extractors had all kinds of issues about not going into battery etc.

although I think I read that the 229's in 40 were the only ones with all the problems. Is yours a 40 or 9mm?

Smith3466 · 03-09-2012, 05:47 AM

congrats!

Ruark · 03-09-2012, 06:14 AM

In the first picture, showing the gun in the case, what is that rod with the T-handle? Some kind of cleaning rod?

That is the grip removal tool! You stick it up into the magazine well, give it a twist and it pops off the grip panel.

Thanks.
Can't wait to go try it out. Hope I have one without all the feeding issues I've been reading about lately. Although, it appears that they are primarily with the Gen2 SAS's? I was going to order one because a friend of my son has a ffl so could get a good price. But after reading all the problems I didn't want to chance it so looked around and found mine with the short / old style extractor in hopes of avoiding any possible issues.

Congrats! P.S. You "peter parker" skills are great too =D

haydukelives · 03-14-2012, 02:59 PM

Nice!! Congrats!

mgentry4 · 03-14-2012, 02:59 PM

Great pistol! You should enjoy many years of fun with your P229!

Fuzzybottoms · 03-14-2012, 07:30 PM
