The Enhanced Elite package pairs an extended beavertail alloy frame with the one-piece E2 grip, forward slide serrations, and SIG's Short Reset Trigger. This setup delivers the distinct handling features associated with the Enhanced Elite series while retaining the P229's compact footprint.
The pistol uses a stainless steel slide with a Nitron finish over a hard-coat anodized aluminum alloy frame. It features front and rear slide serrations, an external extractor, and a 3-slot accessory rail. Fixed, dovetailed 3-dot sights and an approximate 5.7 in sight radius support a clear sight picture. Barrel length is 3.9 in.
Controls include a decocking lever in a traditional DA/SA layout, plus a left-side magazine release. Capacity is 12+1 in .40 S&W. The textured E2 grip provides a slim profile and positive purchase without additional panels.
Factory markings include 'P229 Elite' on the slide, '.40 S&W SIG' on the chamber hood, and 'SIG SAUER INC EXETER–NH–USA' on the frame. Magazines show 5/10/12 witness marks and are steel, made in Italy. This specific configuration (E29R-40-ESE) is noted as not a current general-catalog offering. Within the P229 family, .40 S&W/.357 SIG barrel-swap compatibility is mentioned.
