The Elite series configuration adds an extended beavertail frame that complements the full-size P226 profile. The DA/SA action with a decocker, spurred exposed hammer, and a curved, skeletonized trigger with lightening holes provide a familiar P226 control layout in a refined package.
Durability and finish quality come from a Black Nitron PVD slide and a hard-coat anodized aluminum alloy frame, both in black. Forward and rear cocking serrations offer confident slide manipulation, while the integral four-slot M1913/Picatinny rail accommodates compatible accessories.
The sighting system is a fixed 3-dot set with a high-visibility green front and two white rear dots that present a crisp, straightforward sight picture. The 4.4 in barrel pairs with a 15+1 capacity, maintaining the classic P226 balance and handling.
Manufactured in the United States at SIG Sauer Inc., Newington, NH, this example carries the factory part number E26R-9-BSE. The factory case label is dated July 2023 and the serial number on the label matches the frame, confirming recent production and original pairing.
