I Now Own My First Sig

[Dr.Midnight]

I picked up my new Sig Sauer P226 Enchaned Elite 9mm on the way home tonight. This is absolutely the best feeling semi-automatic gun I have ever held. Weather permitting, I'll be giving this thing a workout on Saturday.

Excellent choice!

Sorry to hear that you've come down with the SIGness too.

Congrats on a great looking gun by a great manufacturer. I love me some Elites.

Great choice. When I get through my current list of wants another Sig will follow. But for now I love the P220 my father picked up from a Conservation Officer friend of ours several years ago that I have been "borrowing" since.

Nice! What kind of grips are those?

Looks great. If I get another sig it will be a 226 X-5 SAO. I seem to prefer holding a sig, but prefer shooting Glock and CZ's.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I don't know if the grips have an exact name, but the gun has an "ergonomic once piece reduced grip". They do feel wonderful in the hand.

I think the durability and dependability of Glocks is fantastic. My least favorite thing about them is their trigger. I have a couple of Glocks at the moment, but I wanted to go in a different direction right now. I don't know much about CZ's, but I have been hearing a lot of good things about them recently.

see I am trying to get away from DA/SA set ups. I like that with CZ/FN I can carry single action, hammer back and ignore the DA trigger. I don' t mind glock triggers. but I'm odd, my favorite triggers are on DA revolvers. I have found Sa triggers with no creep and I don't get along.

Congrats Nice piece

Congrats on a great gun. I think those are the E2 grips?

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Looks like. It's a good style of grip, but IIRC they changed the frame up a little to accomodate them. Don't like that. I'd like my ancient German 226 to be completely interchangeable with one built today. Guess not.

Nice pick up! I currently have 3 Sigs and I have my 4th in layaway at Bradis right now.

The one Ive got in layaway is the P229 SAS Gen2 model. It has the same grips as yours and boy the feel good dont they!?

To all asking about the grips it is my understanding that ANY aftermarket or factory grips will still work with the E2 models but the E2 grips will not work on previous Sigs.

Also they really didnt change the frame just the way the grips mount to it. So normal Sig mags will still work.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure of the exact branding of them, I just know they felt fantastic in my hand.

Sweet piece, I'm resisting drinking the Sig kool aid as long as I can.
