Sig Sauer’s Equinox is pretty well known but it is only natively available in .40 S&W (P226 and P229) and .45 ACP (P220). Every once in a while, the factory will build a run of guns that don’t end up on their website or in a catalog. We recently got our hands on a P229 9mm Equinox.
I have no idea why the factory randomly builds a gun like this that isn’t cataloged. Perhaps it was a special order where there was an overrun. In any case, we’ve got it available in our store and detailed photos can be seen below:
We’ve got the P229 chambered in .357 Sig in stock with night sights. Below are photos and you can see this model in our store.
We just added the P229 Platinum Stainless Elite to the store. This model has hogue aluminum grips, adjustable combat night sights, and an elite frame. This model is chambered in 9mm. See specs / pricing in the store!
We just received one of the P229 Enhanced Elite pistols in .40 (E29R-40-ESE). We snapped some photos of the new pistol:

We snapped some new photos of the P229 Stainless Elite (E29R-40-SSE) today and wanted to share them on the blog… Note that in 2011, the P229 Stainless Elite will no longer be available with the rosewood grips. The gun will be shipped with the E2 (enhanced ergonomic) grips in 2011. Update 2-17-11 – this was a miscommunication with Sig Sauer. The Stainless model will be offered with the rosewood grips but not the nitron finished Elite.
We have a new addition to the store – a model that we have never carried before. That model is the Sig Sauer P229 USTB (threaded barrel with night sights and SRT). The only other P229 available with a threaded barrel is the P229 Dark Elite TB.
See the P229 with threaded barrel in our store along with pricing, specs, and ordering information.
Update 30-30-2011: We’ve got Sig Sauer P226 Enhanced Elite 9mm and .40 on sale. You can see them in our store with availability and the discounted pricing.
We just received some information about another two new Sig Sauer pistols. These new models are called Enhanced Elite, specifically the P226 Enhanced Elite and P229 Enhanced Elite. The summary from Sig Sauer breaks them down:
The “Enhanced Elite” models thake the same features common to all Elite series pistols and combine them with the ergonomic one piece reduced reach grips used in our E2 pistols. Available in both P226 and the upgraded P229-1 (using the same slide configuration as the P229 E2), these pistols bring the advantages of the one piece modular grip to a wider audience.
Features:
- P226 or P229 chambered in .357SIG, .40S&W or 9mm
- P229 9mm magazine capacity is 15 rounds
- One piece reduced reach ergonomic grip with updated stippling pattern
- Beavertail frame with front strap checkering and accessory rail
- Slide features “Elite” engraving and front cocking serrations
- SRT Short Reset Trigger System
- SIGLITE Night Sights
- (2) magazines
The MSRP for both Enhanced Elite models is $1,200 and the model numbers will be:
- P226: E26R-9-ESE, E26R-40-ESE and E26R-357-ESE
- P229: E29R-9-ESE, E29R-40-ESE and E29R-357-ESE
These models are slated for a nearly immediate release. More detailed photos will follow soon.
Update: 8-30-10 – we just received the Sig P226 Enhanced Elite 9mm and detailed photos are below:
We will post this model in our online store and link over to the product / spec page at that time.
We received the P229 E2 9mm with ergonomic grips and have it available for sale. Below are photos of this model.
