If you acquire a surplus Sig Sauer P226/P229, is it worth it to upgrade your grips to the E2 Grip?

In my experience, the P229 just might be the best handgun on the planet. I have owned, and still own, a bunch of pistols, but the P229 is still my favorite.

My P229 is stamped SigArms. I have over 5000 rounds though it. 4000 40SW and 1000 357SIG. Love it! 🇨🇭🇩🇪🇺🇸

CPO Sigs are a GREAT DEAL too! I picked up a 357 SIG P226R for under 450 then I added Trijicon HD Night Sights, added P224 Slide Stop and Decocker Lever the type used on the Legion and I added the Cylinder and Slide Tactical Trigger, Hammer, Sear Drop in Kit. With that Addition of Hogue G10 Checkered Grips I turned a CPO pistol into a DIY Legion Pistol and I have been using it as a Daily carry and a IDPA Match pistol! I believe LEO Trade ins are AWESOME DEALS! I have purchased Several Glocks and a couple of Sigs including one of my P229 in 357 Sig and the first thing I do when I get a LEO Trade in unless it is an UNISSUED Pistols is to REPLACE ALL SPRINGS and on my P229 I replaced the barrel because it was a 2007 pistol and it look that it had been fired allot but the Frame and Slide were in GREAT Shape and I was able to get a New P229 357 and 40 barrels really cheap a couple of years ago. I love 40SW and 357 SIG so I always get the other barrel barrel so I can shoot both caliber in the pistol that I buy. Great Video!

The problem with older Sig is price can be high I have a German made Sig 228 so the value changes if you get older American made Sig not so bad. I do like this grip compared to standard grips on my 228 it just feels better in my hand.

I bought a police series sig p229 elite . My screws got lose the first time shooting got these grips and incredible. What a awesome pistol my edc now and also invested in the trl 8 tac light and laser for rail and also the best purchase was the sig romeo 1 pro red dot. What a sight. I am faster at getting on target and accurate is amazing. Not cheap upgrade but well worth the purchase for the romeo 1 pro. Everyone is going to red dots and now I see why.

Honestly, Got a 2008 Police officer trade in model P229 .40 S&W. The gentleman had seven different 229s all cambered in .40 S&W, no 9mm and some were 2006-07 and other were 2009-11 and had the old school circular trigger guard and rubber or plastic grips. I choose the 2008 E2 model. It had about 900 rounds through it in 2017. It had a little wear and tear on the E2 grips and nitron slide. I bought it for $489 with 3-12 rd .40/.357 magazines and Siglite night sights. I brought it home and immediately ran it through my degreaser and oil scrub and got the rust spots out of the grips and slides in no time. I ordered a .357 Sig barrel for $135 brand new from Sig and got it 5 days later. So, for a little over $600, I got a perfectly fine, .40/.357 handgun with three factory mags and upgraded grips and sights that never had a failure to feed in either barrel and shot like a 9mm with no issues at all. Best handgun I ever had. Sig, Beretta and H&K just make beautiful, reliable and quality firearms. You just can't go wrong.

Need some help: I'm cross shopping a Sig p229 elite (would prefer the enhanced elite with the more pronounced beavertail, but it's not being made any longer) vs a 229 legion. I have smaller hands and was not a fan of the legion G10 grips. I have briefly owned a 229 DAK in .40 cal, and I loved the way that gun felt in my hands with stock grips. It was a LEM turn in model. Are the E2 grips standard on the current elite model? People with larger hands complain about them, which makes me think they would be perfect for me.
@ElDuffman
@ElDuffman 10 ай бұрын
Was not aware that they are not being made anymore. Glad I got one while I still could. Anyway, I prefer smaller grips as well like the rubber grips on the 686. Despite being a thicker pistol, the E2 grips fit like a glove on my hand.

​@@selaxlife7621 I got small hands too. There are a bunch of guns out there that I can't operate without breaking my grip. Like a Beretta 92/m9. If it has a frame mounted safety, I can't even touch the slide release. I was messing with a 10mm sig the other day and I could barely touch the trigger let alone pull it. CZ Shadows are just slightly to big for me. With aftermarket slim grips, they fit just fine.
