I've been debating turning in my Sig 229 for a sig 229 SSE 40 (stainless steel elite?)
Anyways, supposedly its a stainless "finish" frame. what does that mean, if its finnished in "natural stainless" ? does that mean its a steel frame with a stainless plating? or is it an alloy frame with a stainless paintjob? Please help me out here, If the guns frame is 100% stainless steel, I would assume that its frame rails would wear slower, and the gun will be much heavier. but if its just a finish, the frames will wear just as fast.. Someone chime in here, I need to know if its worth the extra 200 or more bucks. The beaver tail is not that big of an issue for me, but the SRT, and the weight are a plus for me.
