The Elite configuration adds an extended beavertail frame for a locked-in grip, along with black checkered two-piece panels bearing SIG SAUER logos. Front and rear cocking serrations on the milled stainless-steel slide aid manipulation, and the spurred hammer and curved trigger maintain the classic P-series feel.
This compact P229 runs a 3.9 in barrel and a 12+1 capacity in .40 S&W. Fixed, dovetailed sights include a single-dot front blade and a square-notch rear for a clear, durable sight picture. An integral accessory rail on the dust cover supports common duty setups.
The DA/SA system with decocker provides a smooth transition between modes, while internal safeties include a firing pin block. The slide is engineered for the duty pressures of .40 S&W and .357 SIG, and the aluminum-alloy frame balances strength with carry-friendly weight.
Finish is black Nitron on the slide with an overall black presentation. This U.S.-made example is marked "SIG SAUER INC., EXETER–NH–USA" and is identified by SIG part number E29R-40-DSE.
