Sig Sauer P226 Elite Stainless .40 S&W DA/SA Full-Size, Stainless Frame & Slide, SRT, Night Sights, 4.4 in Barrel
The P226 Elite Stainless in .40 S&W combines a stainless steel frame and slide with Elite-series enhancements for control and durability. This 2007 example features the Short Reset Trigger (SRT), an extended beavertail, checkered front strap, and SIGLITE-type tritium night sights. It has a German-made frame with U.S. assembly in Exeter, NH, and comes with a factory-labeled case and one 10-round magazine.
The slide carries front and rear cocking serrations and is engraved 'P226 Elite' to match the Stainless Elite series. An integral three-slot accessory rail on the dust cover supports light or laser mounting. The 4.4-inch factory-spec barrel and full-size format deliver the classic P226 handling in a robust, all-stainless configuration.

The Elite Stainless package adds an extended beavertail frame, checkered front strap, and a serrated trigger guard for confident handling. Rosewood grip panels with the SIG SAUER logo provide a secure, textured hold and a refined look that complements the natural stainless finish.
Its DA/SA operating system is paired with a decocking lever and the Short Reset Trigger (SRT) for quick, consistent follow-up shots. The full-size frame and 4.4-inch barrel balance recoil well in .40 S&W while maintaining a familiar P226 manual of arms.
The factory 3-dot tritium night sights are SIGLITE-type units, with both front and rear blades marked 'AG' and 'MH3' for easy identification. Front and rear cocking serrations on the slide aid manipulation, and the 'P226 Elite' engraving identifies the model at a glance.
Markings include 'SIG SAUER INC., EXETER – NH, FRAME MADE IN GERMANY – SAUER,' reflecting its German-made frame and U.S. assembly. The factory case label is dated 26-Nov-2007 with SKU E26R-40-SSE, aligning with the Stainless Elite configuration and era.
